The rcu_data structure's ->nocb_timer field is used to defer wakeups of
the corresponding no-CBs CPU's grace-period kthread ("rcuog*"), and that
structure's ->nocb_defer_wakeup field is used to track such deferral.
This means that the show_rcu_nocb_state() printing an error when those
fields are set for a CPU not corresponding to a no-CBs grace-period
kthread is erroneous.
This commit therefore switches the check from ->nocb_timer to
->nocb_bypass_timer and removes the check of ->nocb_defer_wakeup.

Originally, the call to rcu_preempt_blocked_readers_cgp() from
force_qs_rnp() had to be conditioned on CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y, as in
commit a77da14ce9af ("rcu: Yet another fix for preemption and CPU
hotplug"). However, there is now a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=n definition of
rcu_preempt_blocked_readers_cgp() that unconditionally returns zero, so
invoking it is now safe. In addition, the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=n definition
of rcu_initiate_boost() simply releases the rcu_node structure's ->lock,
which is what happens when the "if" condition evaluates to false.
This commit therefore drops the IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU) check,
so that rcu_initiate_boost() is called only in CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y
kernels when there are readers blocking the current grace period.
This does not change the behavior, but reduces code-reader confusion by
eliminating non-CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y calls to rcu_initiate_boost().

On callback overload, it is necessary to quickly detect idle CPUs,
and rcu_gp_fqs_check_wake() checks for this condition. Unfortunately,
the code following the call to this function does not repeat this check,
which means that in reality no actual quiescent-state forcing, instead
only a couple of quick and pointless wakeups at the beginning of the
grace period.
This commit therefore adds a check for the RCU_GP_FLAG_OVLD flag in
the post-wakeup "if" statement in rcu_gp_fqs_loop().

During acceleration of CB, the rsp's gp_seq is rcu_seq_snap'd. This is
the value used for acceleration - it is the value of gp_seq at which it
is safe the execute all callbacks in the callback list.
The rdp's gp_seq is not very useful for this scenario. Make
rcu_grace_period report the gp_seq_req instead as it allows one to
reason about how the acceleration works.

Patch series "kasan: memorize and print call_rcu stack", v8.
This patchset improves KASAN reports by making them to have call_rcu()
call stack information. It is useful for programmers to solve
use-after-free or double-free memory issue.
The KASAN report was as follows(cleaned up slightly):
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in kasan_rcu_reclaim+0x58/0x60
Freed by task 0:
kasan_save_stack+0x24/0x50

kasan_record_aux_stack+0xbc/0xd0
call_rcu+0x8c/0x580
kasan_rcu_uaf+0xf4/0xf8
Generic KASAN will record the last two call_rcu() call stacks and print up
to 2 call_rcu() call stacks in KASAN report. it is only suitable for
generic KASAN.
This feature considers the size of struct kasan_alloc_meta and
kasan_free_meta, we try to optimize the structure layout and size, lets it
get better memory consumption.

"This adds the sched_set_fifo*() encapsulation APIs to remove static
priority level knowledge from non-scheduler code.
The three APIs for non-scheduler code to set SCHED_FIFO are:
- sched_set_fifo()
- sched_set_fifo_low()
- sched_set_normal()
These are two FIFO priority levels: default (high), and a 'low'
priority level, plus sched_set_normal() to set the policy back to
non-SCHED_FIFO.
Since the changes affect a lot of non-scheduler code, we kept this in
a separate tree"

Several variants of Linux-kernel RCU interact with task-exit processing,
including preemptible RCU, Tasks RCU, and Tasks Trace RCU. This commit
therefore adds testing of this interaction to rcutorture by adding
rcutorture.read_exit_burst and rcutorture.read_exit_delay kernel-boot
parameters. These kernel parameters control the frequency and spacing
of special read-then-exit kthreads that are spawned.

SRCU disables interrupts to get a stable per-CPU pointer and then
acquires the spinlock which is in the per-CPU data structure. The
release uses spin_unlock_irqrestore(). While this is correct on a non-RT
kernel, this conflicts with the RT semantics because the spinlock is
converted to a 'sleeping' spinlock. Sleeping locks can obviously not be
acquired with interrupts disabled.
Acquire the per-CPU pointer `ssp->sda' without disabling preemption and
then acquire the spinlock_t of the per-CPU data structure. The lock will
ensure that the data is consistent.
The added call to check_init_srcu_struct() is now needed because a
statically defined srcu_struct may remain uninitialized until this
point and the newly introduced locking operation requires an initialized
spinlock_t.
This change was tested for four hours with 8*SRCU-N and 8*SRCU-P without
causing any warnings.

Currently, readers are awakened individually. On most systems, this
results in significant wakeup delay from one reader to the next, which
can result in the first and last reader having sole access to the
synchronization primitive in question. If that synchronization primitive
involves shared memory, those readers will rack up a huge number of
operations in a very short time, causing large perturbations in the
results.
This commit therefore has the readers busy-wait after being awakened,
and uses a new n_started variable to synchronize their start times.

Current runs show PREEMPT=n rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs
consuming between 20 and 30 nanoseconds, when in fact the actual value is
zero, give or take the barrier() asm's effect on compiler optimizations.
The additional overhead is caused by function calls through pointers
(especially in these days of Spectre mitigations) and perhaps also
needless argument passing, a non-const loop limit, and an upcounting loop.
This commit therefore combines the ->readlock() and ->readunlock()
function pointers into a single ->readsection() function pointer that
takes the loop count as a const parameter and keeps any data passed
from the read-lock to the read-unlock internal to this new function.
These changes reduce the measured overhead of the aforementioned
PREEMPT=n rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs from between 20 and
30 nanoseconds to somewhere south of 500 picoseconds.

This commit adds an rcuperf module parameter named "holdoff" that
defaults to 10 seconds if refperf is built in and to zero otherwise.
The assumption is that all the CPUs are online by the time that the
modprobe and insmod commands are going to do anything, and that normal
systems will have all the CPUs online within ten seconds.
Larger systems may take many tens of seconds or even minutes to get
to this point, hence this being a module parameter instead of being a
hard-coded constant.

Add a test for comparing the performance of RCU with various read-side
synchronization mechanisms. The test has proved useful for collecting
data and performing these comparisons.
Currently RCU, SRCU, reader-writer lock, reader-writer semaphore and
reference counting can be measured using refperf.perf_type parameter.
Each invocation of the test runs measures performance of a specific
mechanism.
The maximum number of CPUs to concurrently run readers on is chosen by
the test itself and is 75% of the total number of CPUs. So if you had 24
CPUs, the test runs with a maximum of 18 parallel readers.
A number of experiments are conducted, and in each experiment, the
number of readers is increased by 1, upto the 75% of CPUs mark. During
each experiment, all readers execute an empty loop with refperf.loops
iterations and time the total loop duration. This is then averaged.
Example output:
Parameters "refperf.perf_type=srcu refperf.loops=2000000" looks like:

wait_event() already retries if the condition for the wake up is not
satisifed after wake up. Remove them from the rcuperf test.

This commit declares trc_n_readers_need_end and trc_wait static and
replaced a "&" with "&&". The "&" happened to work because the values
are bool, but accidents waiting to happen and all that...

The show_rcu_tasks_gp_kthreads() function is not invoked by Tiny RCU,
but is nevertheless defined in Tiny RCU builds that enable Tasks Trace
RCU. This commit therefore conditionally compiles this function so
that it is defined only in builds that actually use it.

Although this is in some strict sense unnecessary, it is good to allow
the compiler to compare the function declaration with its definition.
This commit therefore adds a #include of linux/rcupdate_trace.h to
kernel/rcu/update.c.

The rcu_tasks_postscan() function is not used outside of RCU's tasks.h
file, so this commit makes it be static.
