This function returns true if all but the\ntimekeeping CPU (tick_do_timer_cpu) are idle and have been idle long\nenough to avoid memory contention on the full_sysidle_state state\nvariable. The rcu_sysidle_force_exit() may be called externally\nto reset the state machine back into non-idle state.\n\nFor large systems the state machine is driven out of RCU\u0027s\nforce-quiescent-state logic, which provides good scalability at the price\nof millisecond-scale latencies on the transition to full-system-idle\nstate.

But there are now a number of uses of RCU read-side\ncritical sections in the idle task, for example, for tracing. A more\nfine-grained detection of idleness is therefore required.\n\nThis commit presses the old dyntick-idle code into full-time service,\nso that rcu_idle_enter(), previously known as rcu_enter_nohz(), is\nalways invoked at the beginning of an idle loop iteration. Similarly,\nrcu_idle_exit(), previously known as rcu_exit_nohz(), is always invoked\nat the end of an idle-loop iteration. This allows the idle task to\nuse RCU everywhere except between consecutive rcu_idle_enter() and\nrcu_idle_exit() calls, in turn allowing architecture maintainers to\nspecify exactly where in the idle loop that RCU may be used.\n\nBecause some of the userspace upcall uses can result in what looks\nto RCU like half of an interrupt, it is not possible to expect that\nthe irq_enter() and irq_exit() hooks will give exact counts. This\npatch therefore expands the -\u003edynticks_nesting counter to 64 bits\nand uses two separate bitfields to count process/idle transitions\nand interrupt entry/exit transitions. It is presumed that userspace\nupcalls do not happen in the idle loop or from usermode execution\n(though usermode might do a system call that results in an upcall).\nThe counter is hard-reset on each process/idle transition, which\navoids the interrupt entry/exit error from accumulating. Overflow\nis avoided by the 64-bitness of the -\u003edyntick_nesting counter.\n\nThis commit also adds warnings if a non-idle task asks RCU to enter\nidle state (and these checks will need some adjustment before applying\nFrederic\u0027s OS-jitter patches (http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/10/7/246).\nIn addition, validation of -\u003edynticks and -\u003edynticks_nesting is added.\n\nSigned-off-by: Paul E.

Because the functions are not\nallowed in the low-order 4096 bytes of kernel virtual memory, offsets\nup to 4095 bytes can be accommodated. If the offset is larger than\n4095 bytes, a compile-time error will be generated in __kfree_rcu().\nIf this error is triggered, you can either fall back to use of call_rcu()\nor rearrange the structure to position the rcu_head structure into the\nfirst 4096 bytes.\n\nNote that the allowable offset might decrease in the future, for example,\nto allow something like kmem_cache_free_rcu().\n\nThe new kfree_rcu() function can replace code as follows:\n\n\tcall_rcu(\u0026p-\u003ercu, simple_kfree_callback);\n\nwhere \"simple_kfree_callback()\" might be defined as follows:\n\n\tvoid simple_kfree_callback(struct rcu_head *p)\n\t{\n\t\tstruct foo *q \u003d container_of(p, struct foo, rcu);\n\n\t\tkfree(q);\n\t}\n\nwith the following:\n\n\tkfree_rcu(\u0026p-\u003ercu, rcu);\n\nNote that the \"rcu\" is the name of a field in the structure being\nfreed.

An\nactivation fixup (triggered by call_rcu()) takes care of performing the debug\nobject initialization without issuing any warning. Since we cannot increase the\nsize of struct rcu_head, I don\u0027t see much room to put an identifier for\nstatically initialized rcu_head structures.

This primitive may be\nused without protection, RCU or otherwise, due to the fact that\nit uses ACCESS_ONCE().\n\nThe new rcu_dereference_protected() primitive is for the case\nwhere updates are prevented, for example, due to holding the\nupdate-side lock. This primitive does neither ACCESS_ONCE() nor\nsmp_read_barrier_depends(), so can only be used when updates are\nsomehow prevented.\n\nSuggested-by: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Paul E.
