When activating a static object we need make sure that the object is
tracked in the object tracker. If it is a non-static object then the
activation is illegal.
In previous implementation, each subsystem need take care of this in
their fixup callbacks. Actually we can put it into debugobjects core.
Thus we can save duplicated code, and have *pure* fixup callbacks.
To achieve this, a new callback "is_static_object" is introduced to let
the type specific code decide whether a object is static or not. If
yes, we take it into object tracker, otherwise give warning and invoke
fixup callback.
This change has paassed debugobjects selftest, and I also do some test
with all debugobjects supports enabled.
At last, I have a concern about the fixups that can it change the object
which is in incorrect state on fixup? Because the 'addr' may not point
to any valid object if a non-static object is not tracked. Then Change
such object can overwrite someone's memory and cause unexpected
behaviour. For example, the timer_fixup_activate bind timer to function
stub_timer.

Mutation testing carried out by Iftekhar Ahmed of Oregon State
University showed that rcutorture is failing to test invocations
of call_rcu() having interrupts disabled. This commit therefore
adds interrupt disabling around one of the existing invocations
of call_rcu() (and friends).

The hotplug notifier rcutorture_cpu_notify() doesn't consider the
corresponding CPU_XXX_FROZEN transitions. They occur on
suspend/resume and are usually handled the same way as the
corresponding non frozen transitions.
Mask the switch case action argument with '~CPU_TASKS_FROZEN' to map
CPU_XXX_FROZEN hotplug transitions on corresponding non-frozen
transitions.

The current code initializes the global per-CPU variables
rcu_torture_count and rcu_torture_batch to zero. However, C does this
initialization by default, and explicit initialization of per-CPU
variables now needs a different syntax if "make tags" is to work.
This commit therefore removes the initialization.

After finishing its tests rcuperf tries to wake up shutdown_wq even if
"shutdown" param is set to false, resulting in a wake_up() call on an
unitialized wait_queue_head_t which leads to "BUG: spinlock bad magic" and
"BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference".
Fix by checking "shutdown" param before waking up the queue.

Running rcuperf can result in RCU CPU stall warnings and RT throttling.
These occur because on of the real-time writer processes does
ftrace_dump() while still running at real-time priority. This commit
therefore prevents these problems by setting the writer thread back to
SCHED_NORMAL (AKA SCHED_OTHER) before doing ftrace_dump().
In addition, this commit adds a small fixed delay before dumping ftrace
buffer in order to decrease the probability that this dumping will
interfere with other writers' grace periods.

This commit enables ftrace in the rcuperf TREE kernel build and adds

This commit provides rcu_exp_batches_completed() and
rcu_exp_batches_completed_sched() functions to allow torture-test modules

These are analogous to the existing rcu_batches_completed(),

Currently, rcu_torture_writer() checks only for rcu_gp_is_expedited()
when deciding whether or not to do dynamic control of RCU expediting.
This means that if rcupdate.rcu_normal is specified, rcu_torture_writer()
will attempt to dynamically control RCU expediting, but will nonetheless
only test normal RCU grace periods. This commit therefore adds a check
for !rcu_gp_is_normal(), and prints a message and desists from testing
dynamic control of RCU expediting when doing so is futile.

Currently, we have four versions of rcu_read_lock_sched_held(), depending
on the combined choices on PREEMPT_COUNT and DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC. However,
there is an existing function preemptible() that already distinguishes
between the PREEMPT_COUNT=y and PREEMPT_COUNT=n cases, and allows these
four implementations to be consolidated down to two.
This commit therefore uses preemptible() to achieve this consolidation.
Note that there could be a small performance regression in the case
of CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y && PREEMPT_COUNT=n. However, given the
overhead associated with CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y, this should be
down in the noise.

Recent kernels can fail to awaken the grace-period kthread for
quiescent-state forcing. This commit is a crude hack that does
a wakeup if a scheduling-clock interrupt sees that it has been

Currently, the force-quiescent-state (FQS) code in rcu_gp_kthread() can
advance the next FQS even if one was not executed last time. This can
happen due timeout-duration uncertainty. This commit therefore avoids
advancing the FQS schedule unless an FQS was just executed. In the
corner case where an FQS was not executed, but is due now, the code does
a one-jiffy wait.
This change prepares for kthread kicking.

The current expedited grace-period implementation makes subsequent grace
periods wait on wakeups for the prior grace period. This does not fit
the dictionary definition of "expedited", so this commit allows these two
phases to overlap. Doing this requires four waitqueues rather than two
because tasks can now be waiting on the previous, current, and next grace
periods. The fourth waitqueue makes the bit masking work out nicely.
