Peter ZijlstraandThomas Gleixner c04507ac50 sched: Provide and use set_need_resched_current()
set_tsk_need_resched(current) requires set_preempt_need_resched(current) to
work correctly outside of the scheduler.

Provide set_need_resched_current() which wraps this correctly and replace
all the open coded instances.

When a stall is detected, the state of each NOCB CPU is dumped along
with the state of each NOCB group. The latter part however is
incidentally ignored if the NOCB group leader happens not to be
offloaded itself.

Fix this to make sure related precious informations aren't lost over
a stall report.

David DaiandTejun Heo cb444006a6 sched_ext, rcu: Eject BPF scheduler on RCU CPU stall panic
For systems using a sched_ext scheduler and has panic_on_rcu_stall
enabled, try kicking out the current scheduler before issuing a panic.

While there are numerous reasons for RCU CPU stalls that are not
directly attributed to the scheduler, deferring the panic gives
sched_ext an opportunity to provide additional debug info when ejecting
the current scheduler. Also, handling the event more gracefully allows
us to potentially recover the system instead of incurring additional
down time.

Paul E. McKenneyandFrederic Weisbecker 9650edd9bf rcu: Finer-grained grace-period-end checks in rcu_dump_cpu_stacks()
This commit pushes the grace-period-end checks further down into
rcu_dump_cpu_stacks(), and also uses lockless checks coupled with
finer-grained locking.

The result is that the current leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock is
acquired only if a stack backtrace might be needed from the current CPU,
and is held across only that CPU's backtrace.  As a result, if there are
no stalled CPUs associated with a given rcu_node structure, then its
->lock will not be acquired at all.  On large systems, it is usually
(though not always) the case that a small number of CPUs are stalling
the current grace period, which means that the ->lock need be acquired
only for a small fraction of the rcu_node structures.

Paul E. McKenneyandFrederic Weisbecker cbe644aa6f rcu: Stop stall warning from dumping stacks if grace period ends
Currently, once an RCU CPU stall warning decides to dump the stalling
CPUs' stacks, the rcu_dump_cpu_stacks() function persists until it
has gone through the full list.  Unfortunately, if the stalled grace
periods ends midway through, this function will be dumping stacks of
innocent-bystander CPUs that happen to be blocking not the old grace
period, but instead the new one.  This can cause serious confusion.

This commit therefore stops dumping stacks if and when the stalled grace
period ends.

Paul E. McKenneyandNeeraj Upadhyay 1ecd9d68eb rcu: Defer printing stall-warning backtrace when holding rcu_node lock
The rcu_dump_cpu_stacks() holds the leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock
when dumping the stakcks of any CPUs stalling the current grace period.
This lock is held to prevent confusion that would otherwise occur when
the stalled CPU reported its quiescent state (and then went on to do
unrelated things) just as the backtrace NMI was heading towards it.

This has worked well, but on larger systems has recently been observed
to cause severe lock contention resulting in CSD-lock stalls and other
general unhappiness.

This commit therefore does printk_deferred_enter() before acquiring
the lock and printk_deferred_exit() after releasing it, thus deferring
the overhead of actually outputting the stack trace out of that lock's
critical section.

Valentin SchneiderandNeeraj Upadhyay bca9455da5 context_tracking, rcu: Rename ct_dynticks_nesting_cpu() into ct_nesting_cpu()
The context_tracking.state RCU_DYNTICKS subvariable has been renamed to
RCU_WATCHING, and the 'dynticks' prefix can be dropped without losing any
meaning.

Frederic WeisbeckerandPaul E. McKenney 55911a9f42 rcu: Remove full memory barrier on RCU stall printout
RCU stall printout fetches the EQS state of a CPU with a preceding full
memory barrier. However there is nothing to order this read against at
this debugging stage. It is inherently racy when performed remotely.

Do a plain read instead.

This was the last user of rcu_dynticks_snap().

Nikita KiryushinandUladzislau Rezki (Sony) 3758f7d991 rcu: Fix buffer overflow in print_cpu_stall_info()
The rcuc-starvation output from print_cpu_stall_info() might overflow the
buffer if there is a huge difference in jiffies difference.  The situation
might seem improbable, but computers sometimes get very confused about
time, which can result in full-sized integers, and, in this case,
buffer overflow.

Also, the unsigned jiffies difference is printed using %ld, which is
normally for signed integers.  This is intentional for debugging purposes,
but it is not obvious from the code.

This commit therefore changes sprintf() to snprintf() and adds a
clarifying comment about intention of %ld format.

Paul E. McKenneyandUladzislau Rezki (Sony) 09e077cf22 rcu: Mark loads from rcu_state.n_online_cpus
The rcu_state.n_online_cpus value is only ever updated by CPU-hotplug
operations, which are serialized.  However, this value is read locklessly.
This commit therefore marks those reads.  While in the area, it also
adds ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_WRITER() calls just in case parallel CPU hotplug
becomes a thing.

Paul E. McKenneyandNeeraj Upadhyay (AMD) 4e58aaeebb rcu: Restrict access to RCU CPU stall notifiers
Although the RCU CPU stall notifiers can be useful for dumping state when
tracking down delicate forward-progress bugs where NUMA effects cause
cache lines to be delivered to a given CPU regularly, but always in a
state that prevents that CPU from making forward progress.  These bugs can
be detected by the RCU CPU stall-warning mechanism, but in some cases,
the stall-warnings printk()s disrupt the forward-progress bug before
any useful state can be obtained.

Unfortunately, the notifier mechanism added by commit 5b404fdaba ("rcu:
Add RCU CPU stall notifier") can make matters worse if used at all
carelessly. For example, if the stall warning was caused by a lock not
being released, then any attempt to acquire that lock in the notifier
will hang. This will prevent not only the notifier from producing any
useful output, but it will also prevent the stall-warning message from
ever appearing.

This commit therefore hides this new RCU CPU stall notifier
mechanism under a new RCU_CPU_STALL_NOTIFIER Kconfig option that
depends on both DEBUG_KERNEL and RCU_EXPERT.  In addition, the
rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_notifiers=1 kernel boot parameter must also
be specified.  The RCU_CPU_STALL_NOTIFIER Kconfig option's help text
contains a warning and explains the dangers of careless use, recommending
lockless notifier code.  In addition, a WARN() is triggered each time
that an attempt is made to register a stall-warning notifier in kernels
built with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_NOTIFIER=y.

This combination of measures will keep use of this mechanism confined to
debug kernels and away from routine deployments.
