Chris Friesen notice that rcuc/X kthreads were consuming CPU even on
NOCB CPUs. This makes no sense because the only purpose or these
kthreads is to invoke normal (non-offloaded) callbacks, of which there
will never be any on NOCB CPUs. This problem was due to a bug in
cpu_has_callbacks_ready_to_invoke(), which should have been checking
->nxttail[RCU_NEXT_TAIL] for NULL, but which was instead (incorrectly)
checking ->nxttail[RCU_DONE_TAIL]. Because ->nxttail[RCU_DONE_TAIL] is
never NULL, the only effect is to cause the rcuc/X kthread to execute
when it should not do so.
This commit therefore checks ->nxttail[RCU_NEXT_TAIL], which is NULL
for NOCB CPUs.

This commit is for all intents and purposes a revert of bc1dce514e
("rcu: Don't use NMIs to dump other CPUs' stacks"). The reason to suppose
that this can now safely be reverted is the presence of 42a0bb3f71
("printk/nmi: generic solution for safe printk in NMI"), which is said
to have made NMI-based stack dumps safe.
However, this reversion keeps one nice property of bc1dce514e
("rcu: Don't use NMIs to dump other CPUs' stacks"), namely that
only those CPUs blocking the grace period are dumped. The new
trigger_single_cpu_backtrace() is used to make this happen, as

The print_other_cpu_stall() function currently unconditionally invokes
rcu_print_detail_task_stall(). This is OK because if there was a stall
sufficient to cause print_other_cpu_stall() to be invoked, that stall
is very likely to persist through the entire print_other_cpu_stall()
execution. However, if the stall did not persist, the variable ndetected
will be zero, and that variable is already tested in an "if" statement.
Therefore, this commit moves the call to rcu_print_detail_task_stall()
under that pre-existing "if" to improve readability, with a very rare
reduction in overhead.

RCU_EXPEDITE_BOOT should speed up the boot process by enforcing

is no need worry about real time latency at this point.
Therefore make it default.
Note that users wishing to avoid expediting entirely, for example when
bringing up new hardware possibly having flaky IPIs, can use the

The current preemptible RCU implementation goes through three phases
during bootup. In the first phase, there is only one CPU that is running
with preemption disabled, so that a no-op is a synchronous grace period.
In the second mid-boot phase, the scheduler is running, but RCU has
not yet gotten its kthreads spawned (and, for expedited grace periods,
workqueues are not yet running. During this time, any attempt to do
a synchronous grace period will hang the system (or complain bitterly,
depending). In the third and final phase, RCU is fully operational and
everything works normally.
This has been OK for some time, but there has recently been some
synchronous grace periods showing up during the second mid-boot phase.
This code worked "by accident" for awhile, but started failing as soon
as expedited RCU grace periods switched over to workqueues in commit
8b355e3bc1 ("rcu: Drive expedited grace periods from workqueue").
Note that the code was buggy even before this commit, as it was subject
to failure on real-time systems that forced all expedited grace periods
to run as normal grace periods (for example, using the rcu_normal ksysfs
parameter). The callchain from the failure case is as follows:
early_amd_iommu_init()
|-> acpi_put_table(ivrs_base);
|-> acpi_tb_put_table(table_desc);
|-> acpi_tb_invalidate_table(table_desc);
|-> acpi_tb_release_table(...)
|-> acpi_os_unmap_memory
|-> acpi_os_unmap_iomem
|-> acpi_os_map_cleanup
|-> synchronize_rcu_expedited
The kernel showing this callchain was built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y,
which caused the code to try using workqueues before they were
initialized, which did not go well.
This commit therefore reworks RCU to permit synchronous grace periods
to proceed during this mid-boot phase. This commit is therefore a
fix to a regression introduced in v4.9, and is therefore being put
forward post-merge-window in v4.10.
This commit sets a flag from the existing rcu_scheduler_starting()
function which causes all synchronous grace periods to take the expedited
path. The expedited path now checks this flag, using the requesting task
to drive the expedited grace period forward during the mid-boot phase.
Finally, this flag is updated by a core_initcall() function named
rcu_exp_runtime_mode(), which causes the runtime codepaths to be used.
Note that this arrangement assumes that tasks are not sent POSIX signals
(or anything similar) from the time that the first task is spawned
through core_initcall() time.

Several people report seeing warnings about inconsistent radix tree
nodes followed by crashes in the workingset code, which all looked like
use-after-free access from the shadow node shrinker.
Dave Jones managed to reproduce the issue with a debug patch applied,
which confirmed that the radix tree shrinking indeed frees shadow nodes
while they are still linked to the shadow LRU:
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 53 at lib/radix-tree.c:643 delete_node+0x1e4/0x200
CPU: 2 PID: 53 Comm: kswapd0 Not tainted 4.10.0-rc2-think+ #3

shrink_slab.part.44+0x23d/0x5d0
shrink_node+0x22c/0x330
kswapd+0x392/0x8f0
This is the WARN_ON_ONCE(!list_empty(&node->private_list)) placed in the
inlined radix_tree_shrink().
The problem is with 14b468791f ("mm: workingset: move shadow entry
tracking to radix tree exceptional tracking"), which passes an update
callback into the radix tree to link and unlink shadow leaf nodes when
tree entries change, but forgot to pass the callback when reclaiming a
shadow node.
While the reclaimed shadow node itself is unlinked by the shrinker, its
deletion from the tree can cause the left-most leaf node in the tree to
be shrunk. If that happens to be a shadow node as well, we don't unlink
it from the LRU as we should.
Consider this tree, where the s are shadow entries:
root->rnode
|
[0 n]
| |
[s ] [sssss]
Now the shadow node shrinker reclaims the rightmost leaf node through
the shadow node LRU:
root->rnode
|
[0 ]
|
[s ]
Because the parent of the deleted node is the first level below the
root and has only one child in the left-most slot, the intermediate
level is shrunk and the node containing the single shadow is put in
its place:
root->rnode
|
[s ]
The shrinker again sees a single left-most slot in a first level node
and thus decides to store the shadow in root->rnode directly and free
the node - which is a leaf node on the shadow node LRU.
root->rnode
|
s
Without the update callback, the freed node remains on the shadow LRU,
where it causes later shrinker runs to crash.
Pass the node updater callback into __radix_tree_delete_node() in case
the deletion causes the left-most branch in the tree to collapse too.
Also add warnings when linked nodes are freed right away, rather than
wait for the use-after-free when the list is scanned much later.

4.10-rc loadtest (even on x86, and even without THPCache) fails with
"fork: Cannot allocate memory" or some such; and /proc/meminfo shows
PageTables growing.
Commit 953c66c2b2 ("mm: THP page cache support for ppc64") that got
merged in rc1 removed the freeing of an unused preallocated pagetable
after do_fault_around() has called map_pages().
This is usually a good optimization, so that the followup doesn't have
to reallocate one; but it's not sufficient to shift the freeing into
alloc_set_pte(), since there are failure cases (most commonly
VM_FAULT_RETRY) which never reach finish_fault().
Check and free it at the outer level in do_fault(), then we don't need
to worry in alloc_set_pte(), and can restore that to how it was (I
cannot find any reason to pte_free() under lock as it was doing).
And fix a separate pagetable leak, or crash, introduced by the same
change, that could only show up on some ppc64: why does do_set_pmd()'s
failure case attempt to withdraw a pagetable when it never deposited
one, at the same time overwriting (so leaking) the vmf->prealloc_pte?
Residue of an earlier implementation, perhaps? Delete it.
