commit 61399e0c5410567ef60cb1cda34cca42903842e3 upstream.
RCU re-initializes the deferred QS irq work everytime before attempting
to queue it. However there are situations where the irq work is
attempted to be queued even though it is already queued. In that case
re-initializing messes-up with the irq work queue that is about to be
handled.
The chances for that to happen are higher when the architecture doesn't
support self-IPIs and irq work are then all lazy, such as with the
following sequence:
1) rcu_read_unlock() is called when IRQs are disabled and there is a
grace period involving blocked tasks on the node. The irq work
is then initialized and queued.
2) The related tasks are unblocked and the CPU quiescent state
is reported. rdp->defer_qs_iw_pending is reset to DEFER_QS_IDLE,
allowing the irq work to be requeued in the future (note the previous
one hasn't fired yet).
3) A new grace period starts and the node has blocked tasks.
4) rcu_read_unlock() is called when IRQs are disabled again. The irq work
is re-initialized (but it's queued! and its node is cleared) and
requeued. Which means it's requeued to itself.
5) The irq work finally fires with the tick. But since it was requeued
to itself, it loops and hangs.
Fix this with initializing the irq work only once before the CPU boots.

[ Upstream commit b41642c87716bbd09797b1e4ea7d904f06c39b7b ]
During rcu_read_unlock_special(), if this happens during irq_exit(), we
can lockup if an IPI is issued. This is because the IPI itself triggers
the irq_exit() path causing a recursive lock up.
This is precisely what Xiongfeng found when invoking a BPF program on
the trace_tick_stop() tracepoint As shown in the trace below. Fix by
managing the irq_work state correctly.
irq_exit()
__irq_exit_rcu()
/* in_hardirq() returns false after this */
preempt_count_sub(HARDIRQ_OFFSET)
tick_irq_exit()
tick_nohz_irq_exit()
tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()
trace_tick_stop() /* a bpf prog is hooked on this trace point */

bpf_trace_run2()
rcu_read_unlock_special()
/* will send a IPI to itself */
irq_work_queue_on(&rdp->defer_qs_iw, rdp->cpu);
A simple reproducer can also be obtained by doing the following in
tick_irq_exit(). It will hang on boot without the patch:
static inline void tick_irq_exit(void)
{
+ rcu_read_lock();
+ WRITE_ONCE(current->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.need_qs, true);
+ rcu_read_unlock();

[ Upstream commit 1bba3900ca18bdae28d1b9fa10f16a8f8cb2ada1 ]
In the preparation stage of CPU online, if the corresponding
the rdp's->nocb_cb_kthread does not exist, will be created,
there is a situation where the rdp's rcuop kthreads creation fails,
and then de-offload this CPU's rdp, does not assign this CPU's
rdp->nocb_cb_kthread pointer, but this rdp's->nocb_gp_rdp and
rdp's->rdp_gp->nocb_gp_kthread is still valid.
This will cause the subsequent re-offload operation of this offline
CPU, which will pass the conditional check and the kthread_unpark()
will access invalid rdp's->nocb_cb_kthread pointer.
This commit therefore use rdp's->nocb_gp_kthread instead of
rdp_gp's->nocb_gp_kthread for safety check.

[ Upstream commit 90c09d57caeca94e6f3f87c49e96a91edd40cbfd ]
On kernels built with CONFIG_IRQ_WORK=y, when rcu_read_unlock() is
invoked within an interrupts-disabled region of code [1], it will invoke
rcu_read_unlock_special(), which uses an irq-work handler to force the
system to notice when the RCU read-side critical section actually ends.
That end won't happen until interrupts are enabled at the soonest.
In some kernels, such as those booted with rcutree.use_softirq=y, the
irq-work handler is used unconditionally.
The per-CPU rcu_data structure's ->defer_qs_iw_pending field is
updated by the irq-work handler and is both read and updated by
rcu_read_unlock_special(). This resulted in the following KCSAN splat:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem is that irq-work handlers run with interrupts enabled, which
means that rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler() could be interrupted,
and that interrupt handler might contain an RCU read-side critical
section, which might invoke rcu_read_unlock_special(). In the strict
KCSAN mode of operation used by RCU, this constitutes a data race on
the ->defer_qs_iw_pending field.
This commit therefore disables interrupts across the portion of the
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler() that updates the ->defer_qs_iw_pending
field. This suffices because this handler is not a fast path.

[ Upstream commit 463d46044f04013306a4893242f65788b8a16b2e ]
We observed a regression in our customer’s environment after enabling
CONFIG_LAZY_RCU. In the Android Update Engine scenario, where ioctl() is
used heavily, we found that callbacks queued via call_rcu_hurry (such as
percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic_rcu) can sometimes be delayed by up to 5
seconds before execution. This occurs because the new grace period does
not start immediately after the previous one completes.
The root cause is that the wake_nocb_gp_defer() function now checks
"rdp->nocb_defer_wakeup" instead of "rdp_gp->nocb_defer_wakeup". On CPUs
that are not rcuog, "rdp->nocb_defer_wakeup" may always be
RCU_NOCB_WAKE_NOT. This can cause "rdp_gp->nocb_defer_wakeup" to be
downgraded and the "rdp_gp->nocb_timer" to be postponed by up to 10
seconds, delaying the execution of hurry RCU callbacks.
The trace log of one scenario we encountered is as follow:
// previous GP ends at this point
rcu_preempt [000] d..1. 137.240210: rcu_grace_period: rcu_preempt 8369 end

This patch changes the condition to check "rdp_gp->nocb_defer_wakeup" in
the lazy path. This prevents an already scheduled "rdp_gp->nocb_timer"
from being postponed and avoids overwriting "rdp_gp->nocb_defer_wakeup"
when it is not RCU_NOCB_WAKE_NOT.

[ Upstream commit 005b6187705bc9723518ce19c5cb911fc1f7ef07 ]
The nreaders and loops variables are exposed as module parameters, which,
in certain combinations, can lead to multiplication overflow.
Besides, loops parameter is defined as long, while through the code is
used as int, which can cause truncation on 64-bit kernels and possible
zeroes where they shouldn't appear.
Since code uses result of multiplication as int anyway, it only makes sense
to replace loops with int. Multiplication overflow check is also added
due to possible multiplication between two very big numbers.

Currently the call_rcu() API does not check whether a callback
pointer is NULL. If NULL is passed, rcu_core() will try to invoke
it, resulting in NULL pointer dereference and a kernel crash.
To prevent this and improve debuggability, this patch adds a check
for NULL and emits a kernel stack trace to help identify a faulty
caller.

The FORCE_NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE is useful only for those wishing to test
the SRCU code paths that accommodate architectures that do not have
NMI-safe per-CPU operations, that is, those architectures that do not
select the ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS Kconfig option. As such, this
is a specialized Kconfig option that is not intended for casual users.
This commit therefore hides it behind the RCU_EXPERT Kconfig option.
Given that this new FORCE_NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE Kconfig option has no effect
unless the ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS Kconfig option is also selected,
it also depends on this Kconfig option.

"Documentation:
- Add broken-timing possibility to stallwarn.rst
- Improve discussion of this_cpu_ptr(), add raw_cpu_ptr()
- Document self-propagating callbacks
- Point call_srcu() to call_rcu() for detailed memory ordering
- Add CONFIG_RCU_LAZY delays to call_rcu() kernel-doc header
- Clarify RCU_LAZY and RCU_LAZY_DEFAULT_OFF help text
- Remove references to old grace-period-wait primitives
srcu:
- Introduce srcu_read_{un,}lock_fast(), which is similar to
srcu_read_{un,}lock_lite(): avoid smp_mb()s in lock and unlock
at the cost of calling synchronize_rcu() in synchronize_srcu()
Moreover, by returning the percpu offset of the counter at
srcu_read_lock_fast() time, srcu_read_unlock_fast() can avoid
extra pointer dereferencing, which makes it faster than
srcu_read_{un,}lock_lite()
srcu_read_{un,}lock_fast() are intended to replace
rcu_read_{un,}lock_trace() if possible
RCU torture:
- Add get_torture_init_jiffies() to return the start time of the test
- Add a test_boost_holdoff module parameter to allow delaying
boosting tests when building rcutorture as built-in
- Add grace period sequence number logging at the beginning and end
of failure/close-call results
- Switch to hexadecimal for the expedited grace period sequence
number in the rcu_exp_grace_period trace point
- Make cur_ops->format_gp_seqs take buffer length
- Move RCU_TORTURE_TEST_{CHK_RDR_STATE,LOG_CPU} to bool

- Add FORCE_NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE Kconfig for testing, which forces SRCU
uses atomics even when percpu ops are NMI safe, and use the Kconfig
for SRCU lockdep testing

PREEMPT_LAZY can be enabled stand-alone or alongside PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
which allows for dynamic switching of preemption models.
The choice of PREEMPT_RCU or not, however, is fixed at compile time.
Given that PREEMPT_RCU makes some trade-offs to optimize for latency
as opposed to throughput, configurations with limited preemption
might prefer the stronger forward-progress guarantees of PREEMPT_RCU=n.
Accordingly, explicitly limit PREEMPT_RCU=y to the latency oriented
preemption models: PREEMPT, PREEMPT_RT, and the runtime configurable
model PREEMPT_DYNAMIC.
This means the throughput oriented models, PREEMPT_NONE,
PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, and PREEMPT_LAZY will run with PREEMPT_RCU=n.

The rcutorture_one_extend_check() function's second last check assumes
that "preempt_count() & PREEMPT_MASK" is non-zero only if
RCUTORTURE_RDR_PREEMPT or RCUTORTURE_RDR_SCHED bit is set.
This works for preemptible RCU and for non-preemptible RCU running in
a non-preemptible kernel. But it fails for non-preemptible RCU running
in a preemptible kernel because then rcu_read_lock() is just
preempt_disable(), which increases preempt count.
This commit therefore adjusts this check to take into account the case
fo non-preemptible RCU running in a preemptible kernel.

The rcutorture_one_extend_check() function's last check assumes that
if cur_ops->readlock_nesting() returns greater than zero, either the
RCUTORTURE_RDR_RCU_1 or the RCUTORTURE_RDR_RCU_2 bit must be set, that
is, there must be at least one rcu_read_lock() in effect.
This works for preemptible RCU and for non-preemptible RCU running in
a non-preemptible kernel. But it fails for non-preemptible RCU running
in a preemptible kernel because then RCU's cur_ops->readlock_nesting()
function, which is rcu_torture_readlock_nesting(), will return
the PREEMPT_MASK mask bits from preempt_count(). The result will
be greater than zero if preemption is disabled, including by the
RCUTORTURE_RDR_PREEMPT and RCUTORTURE_RDR_SCHED bits.
This commit therefore adjusts this check to take into account the case
fo non-preemptible RCU running in a preemptible kernel.

Switch for using of get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() and
poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full() pair to debug a normal
synchronize_rcu() call.
Just using "not" full APIs to identify if a grace period is
passed or not might lead to a false-positive kernel splat.
It can happen, because get_state_synchronize_rcu() compresses
both normal and expedited states into one single unsigned long
value, so a poll_state_synchronize_rcu() can miss GP-completion
when synchronize_rcu()/synchronize_rcu_expedited() concurrently
run.
To address this, switch to poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full() and
get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() APIs, which use separate variables
for expedited and normal states.

Currently "nfakewriters" parameter can be set to any value but
there is no possibility to adjust it automatically based on how
many CPUs a system has where a test is run on.
To address this, if the "nfakewriters" is set to negative it will
be adjusted to num_online_cpus() during torture initialization.

Analysis of an rcutorture callback-based forward-progress test failure was
hampered by the lack of ->cblist segment lengths. This commit therefore
adds this information, so that what would have been ".W85620.N." (there
are some callbacks waiting for grace period sequence number 85620 and
some number more that have not yet been assigned to a grace period)
now prints as ".W2(85620).N6." (there are 2 callbacks waiting for grace
period 85620 and 6 not yet assigned to a grace period). Note that
"D" (done), "N" (next and not yet assigned to a grace period, and "B"
(bypass, also not yet assigned to a grace period) have just the number
of callbacks without the parenthesized grace-period sequence number.
In contrast, "W" (waiting for the current grace period) and "R" (ready
to wait for the next grace period to start) both have parenthesized
grace-period sequence numbers.

The timer and hrtimer softirq processing has moved to dedicated threads
for kernels built with CONFIG_IRQ_FORCED_THREADING=y. This results in
timers not expiring until later in early boot, which in turn causes the
RCU Tasks self-tests to hang in kernels built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y,
which further causes the entire kernel to hang. One fix would be to
make timers work during this time, but there are no known users of RCU
Tasks grace periods during that time, so no justification for the added
complexity. Not yet, anyway.
This commit therefore moves the call to rcu_init_tasks_generic() from
kernel_init_freeable() to a core_initcall(). This works because the
timer and hrtimer kthreads are created at early_initcall() time.

The get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() and poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full()
functions use the root rcu_node structure's ->gp_seq field to detect
the beginnings and ends of grace periods, respectively. This choice is
necessary for the poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full() function because
(give or take counter wrap), the following sequence is guaranteed not
to trigger:
get_state_synchronize_rcu_full(&rgos);
synchronize_rcu();
WARN_ON_ONCE(!poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full(&rgos));
The RCU callbacks that awaken synchronize_rcu() instances are
guaranteed not to be invoked before the root rcu_node structure's
->gp_seq field is updated to indicate the end of the grace period.
However, these callbacks might start being invoked immediately
thereafter, in particular, before rcu_state.gp_seq has been updated.
Therefore, poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full() must refer to the
root rcu_node structure's ->gp_seq field. Because this field is
updated under this structure's ->lock, any code following a call to
poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full() will be fully ordered after the
full grace-period computation, as is required by RCU's memory-ordering
semantics.
By symmetry, the get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() function should also
use this same root rcu_node structure's ->gp_seq field. But it turns out
that symmetry is profoundly (though extremely infrequently) destructive
in this case. To see this, consider the following sequence of events:
1. CPU 0 starts a new grace period, and updates rcu_state.gp_seq
accordingly.
2. As its first step of grace-period initialization, CPU 0 examines
the current CPU hotplug state and decides that it need not wait
for CPU 1, which is currently offline.
3. CPU 1 comes online, and updates its state. But this does not
affect the current grace period, but rather the one after that.
After all, CPU 1 was offline when the current grace period
started, so all pre-existing RCU readers on CPU 1 must have
completed or been preempted before it last went offline.
The current grace period therefore has nothing it needs to wait
for on CPU 1.
4. CPU 1 switches to an rcutorture kthread which is running
rcutorture's rcu_torture_reader() function, which starts a new
RCU reader.
5. CPU 2 is running rcutorture's rcu_torture_writer() function
and collects a new polled grace-period "cookie" using
get_state_synchronize_rcu_full(). Because the newly started
grace period has not completed initialization, the root rcu_node
structure's ->gp_seq field has not yet been updated to indicate
that this new grace period has already started.
This cookie is therefore set up for the end of the current grace
period (rather than the end of the following grace period).
6. CPU 0 finishes grace-period initialization.
7. If CPU 1’s rcutorture reader is preempted, it will be added to
the ->blkd_tasks list, but because CPU 1’s ->qsmask bit is not
set in CPU 1's leaf rcu_node structure, the ->gp_tasks pointer
will not be updated. Thus, this grace period will not wait on
it. Which is only fair, given that the CPU did not come online
until after the grace period officially started.
8. CPUs 0 and 2 then detect the new grace period and then report
a quiescent state to the RCU core.
9. Because CPU 1 was offline at the start of the current grace
period, CPUs 0 and 2 are the only CPUs that this grace period
needs to wait on. So the grace period ends and post-grace-period
cleanup starts. In particular, the root rcu_node structure's
->gp_seq field is updated to indicate that this grace period
has now ended.
10. CPU 2 continues running rcu_torture_writer() and sees that,
from the viewpoint of the root rcu_node structure consulted by
the poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full() function, the grace period
has ended. It therefore updates state accordingly.
11. CPU 1 is still running the same RCU reader, which notices this
update and thus complains about the too-short grace period.
The fix is for the get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() function to use
rcu_state.gp_seq instead of the root rcu_node structure's ->gp_seq field.
With this change in place, if step 5's cookie indicates that the grace
period has not yet started, then any prior code executed by CPU 2 must
have happened before CPU 1 came online. This will in turn prevent CPU
1's code in steps 3 and 11 from spanning CPU 2's grace-period wait,
thus preventing CPU 1 from being subjected to a too-short grace period.
This commit therefore makes this change. Note that there is no change to
the poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full() function, which as noted above,
must continue to use the root rcu_node structure's ->gp_seq field.
This is of course an asymmetry between these two functions, but is an
asymmetry that is absolutely required for correct operation. It is a
common human tendency to greatly value symmetry, and sometimes symmetry
is a wonderful thing. Other times, symmetry results in poor performance.
But in this case, symmetry is just plain wrong.
Nevertheless, the asymmetry does require an additional adjustment.
It is possible for get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() to see a given
grace period as having started, but for an immediately following
poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full() to see it as having not yet started.
Given the current rcu_seq_done_exact() implementation, this will
result in a false-positive indication that the grace period is done
from poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full(). This is dealt with by making
rcu_seq_done_exact() reach back three grace periods rather than just
two of them.
However, simply changing get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() function to
use rcu_state.gp_seq instead of the root rcu_node structure's ->gp_seq
field results in a theoretical bug in kernels booted with
rcutree.rcu_normal_wake_from_gp=1 due to the following sequence of
events:
o The rcu_gp_init() function invokes rcu_seq_start() to officially
start a new grace period.
o A new RCU reader begins, referencing X from some RCU-protected
list. The new grace period is not obligated to wait for this
reader.
o An updater removes X, then calls synchronize_rcu(), which queues
a wait element.
o The grace period ends, awakening the updater, which frees X
while the reader is still referencing it.
The reason that this is theoretical is that although the grace period
has officially started, none of the CPUs are officially aware of this,
and thus will have to assume that the RCU reader pre-dated the start of
the grace period. Detailed explanation can be found at [2] and [3].
Except for kernels built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y, which use the polled
grace-period APIs, which can and do complain bitterly when this sequence
of events occurs. Not only that, there might be some future RCU
grace-period mechanism that pulls this sequence of events from theory
into practice. This commit therefore also pulls the call to
rcu_sr_normal_gp_init() to precede that to rcu_seq_start().
Although this fixes commit 91a967fd6934 ("rcu: Add full-sized polling
for get_completed*() and poll_state*()"), it is not clear that it is
worth backporting this commit. First, it took me many weeks to convince
rcutorture to reproduce this more frequently than once per year.
Second, this cannot be reproduced at all without frequent CPU-hotplug
operations, as in waiting all of 50 milliseconds from the end of the
previous operation until starting the next one. Third, the TREE03.boot
settings cause multi-millisecond delays during RCU grace-period
initialization, which greatly increase the probability of the above
sequence of events. (Don't do this in production workloads!) Fourth,
the TREE03 rcutorture scenario was modified to use four-CPU guest OSes,
to have a single-rcu_node combining tree, no testing of RCU priority
boosting, and no random preemption, and these modifications were
necessary to reproduce this issue in a reasonable timeframe. Fifth,
extremely heavy use of get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() and/or
poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full() is required to reproduce this, and as
of v6.12, only kfree_rcu() uses it, and even then not particularly
heavily.

The srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() and srcu_read_unlock_nmisafe() functions
map to __srcu_read_lock() and __srcu_read_unlock() on systems like x86
that have NMI-safe this_cpu_inc() operations. This makes the underlying
__srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() and __srcu_read_unlock_nmisafe() functions
difficult to test on (for example) x86 systems, allowing bugs to creep in.
This commit therefore creates a FORCE_NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE Kconfig that
forces those underlying functions to be used even on systems where they
are not needed, thus providing better testing coverage.

With only eight bits per grace-period sequence number, wrap can happen
in 64 grace periods. This commit therefore increases this to sixteen
bits for normal grace-period sequence numbers and the combined short-form
polling sequence numbers, thus deferring wrap for at least 16,384 grace
periods. Because expedited grace periods go faster, expand these to 24
bits, deferring wrap for at least 4,194,304 expedited grace periods.
These longer wrap times makes it easier to correlate these numbers to
trace-event output.
Note that the low-order two bits are reserved for intra-grace-period
state, hence the above wrap numbers being a factor of four smaller than
you might expect.

This commit includes the grace-period sequence numbers at the beginning
and end of each segment in the "Failure/close-call rcutorture reader
segments" list. These are in hexadecimal, and only the bottom byte.
Currently, only RCU is supported, with its three sequence numbers (normal,
expedited, and polled).
Note that if all the grace-period sequence numbers remain the same across
a given reader segment, only one copy of the number will be printed.
Of course, if there is a change, both sets of values will be printed.
Because the overhead of collecting this information can suppress
heisenbugs, this information is collected and printed only in kernels
built with CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_LOG_GP=y.

This commit adds a test_boost_holdoff module parameter that tells the RCU
priority-boosting tests to wait for the specified number of seconds past
the start of the rcutorture test. This can be useful when rcutorture
is built into the kernel (as opposed to being modprobed), especially on
large systems where early start of RCU priority boosting can delay the
boot sequence, which adds a full CPU's worth of load onto the system.
This can in turn result in pointless stall warnings.
