2015-01-06tiny_rcu: Directly force QS when call_rcu_[bh|sched]() on idle_taskLai Jiangshan1-0/+6
For RCU in UP, context-switch = QS = GP, thus we can force a context-switch when any call_rcu_[bh|sched]() is happened on idle_task. After doing so, rcu_idle/irq_enter/exit() are useless, so we can simply make these functions empty. More important, this change does not change the functionality logically. Note: raise_softirq(RCU_SOFTIRQ)/rcu_sched_qs() in rcu_idle_enter() and outmost rcu_irq_exit() will have to wake up the ksoftirqd (due to in_interrupt() == 0). Before this patch After this patch: call_rcu_sched() in idle; call_rcu_sched() in idle set resched do other stuffs; do other stuffs outmost rcu_irq_exit() outmost rcu_irq_exit() (empty function) (or rcu_idle_enter()) (or rcu_idle_enter(), also empty function) start to resched. (see above) rcu_sched_qs() rcu_sched_qs() QS,and GP and advance cb QS,and GP and advance cb wake up the ksoftirqd wake up the ksoftirqd set resched resched to ksoftirqd (or other) resched to ksoftirqd (or other) These two code patches are almost the same.

2014-11-03rcutorture: Add early boot self testsPranith Kumar1-0/+2
Add early boot self tests for RCU under CONFIG_PROVE_RCU. Currently the only test is adding a dummy callback which increments a counter which we then later verify after calling rcu_barrier*().

2014-07-09rcu: Fix __rcu_reclaim() to use true/false for boolPaul E. McKenney1-2/+6
The __rcu_reclaim() function returned 0/1, which is not proper for a function of type bool. This commit therefore converts to false/true. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com>
2014-02-26rcu: Ensure kernel/rcu/rcu.h can be sourced/used stand-alonePaul Gortmaker1-0/+1
The kbuild test bot uncovered an implicit dependence on the trace header being present before rcu.h in ia64 allmodconfig that looks like this: In file included from kernel/ksysfs.c:22:0: kernel/rcu/rcu.h: In function '__rcu_reclaim': kernel/rcu/rcu.h:107:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'trace_rcu_invoke_kfree_callback' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] kernel/rcu/rcu.h:112:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'trace_rcu_invoke_callback' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] cc1: some warnings being treated as errors Looking at other rcu.h users, we can find that they all were sourcing the trace header in advance of rcu.h itself, as seen in the context of this diff. There were also some inconsistencies as to whether it was or wasn't sourced based on the parent tracing Kconfig. Rather than "fix" it at each use site, and have inconsistent use based on whether "#ifdef CONFIG_RCU_TRACE" was used or not, lets just source the trace header just once, in the actual consumer of it, which is rcu.h itself. We include it unconditionally, as build testing shows us that is a hard requirement for some files.

2014-02-17rcu: Stop tracking FSF's postal addressPaul E. McKenney1-2/+2
All of the RCU source files have the usual GPL header, which contains a long-obsolete postal address for FSF. To avoid the need to track the FSF office's movements, this commit substitutes the URL where GPL may be found.

2013-12-12rcu: Remove "extern" from function declarations in kernel/rcu/rcu.hTeodora Baluta1-1/+1
Function prototypes don't need to have the "extern" keyword since this is the default behavior. Its explicit use is redundant. This commit therefore removes them. Signed-off-by: Teodora Baluta <teobaluta@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2013-12-09rcu: Provide better diagnostics for blocking in RCU callback functionsPaul E. McKenney1-0/+3
Currently blocking in an RCU callback function will result in "scheduling while atomic", which could be triggered for any number of reasons. To aid debugging, this patch introduces a rcu_callback_map that is used to tie the inappropriate voluntary context switch back to the fact that the function is being invoked from within a callback.
