rcu: Dump memory object info if callback function is invalid

[ Upstream commit 2cbc482d325ee58001472c4359b311958c4efdd1 ]

When a structure containing an RCU callback rhp is (incorrectly) freed
and reallocated after rhp is passed to call_rcu(), it is not unusual for
rhp->func to be set to NULL. This defeats the debugging prints used by
__call_rcu_common() in kernels built with CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y,
which expect to identify the offending code using the identity of this
function.

And in kernels build without CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y, things
are even worse, as can be seen from this splat:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0
... ...
PC is at 0x0
LR is at rcu_do_batch+0x1c0/0x3b8
... ...

(default_idle_call) from (do_idle+0xf8/0x150)
(do_idle) from (cpu_startup_entry+0x18/0x20)
(cpu_startup_entry) from (0xc01530)

This commit therefore adds calls to mem_dump_obj(rhp) to output some
information, for example:

slab kmalloc-256 start ffff410c45019900 pointer offset 0 size 256

This provides the rough size of the memory block and the offset of the
rcu_head structure, which as least provides at least a few clues to help
locate the problem. If the problem is reproducible, additional slab
debugging can be enabled, for example, CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y, which can
provide significantly more information.

srcu: Only accelerate on enqueue time

[ Upstream commit 8a77f38bcd28d3c22ab7dd8eff3f299d43c00411 ]

Acceleration in SRCU happens on enqueue time for each new callback. This
operation is expected not to fail and therefore any similar attempt
from other places shouldn't find any remaining callbacks to accelerate.

Moreover accelerations performed beyond enqueue time are error prone
because rcu_seq_snap() then may return the snapshot for a new grace
period that is not going to be started.

Remove these dangerous and needless accelerations and introduce instead
assertions reporting leaking unaccelerated callbacks beyond enqueue
time.

srcu: Fix srcu_struct node grpmask overflow on 64-bit systems

[ Upstream commit d8d5b7bf6f2105883bbd91bbd4d5b67e4e3dff71 ]

The value of a bitwise expression 1 << (cpu - sdp->mynode->grplo)
is subject to overflow due to a failure to cast operands to a larger
data type before performing the bitwise operation.

The maximum result of this subtraction is defined by the RCU_FANOUT_LEAF
Kconfig option, which on 64-bit systems defaults to 16 (resulting in a
maximum shift of 15), but which can be set up as high as 64 (resulting
in a maximum shift of 63). A value of 31 can result in sign extension,
resulting in 0xffffffff80000000 instead of the desired 0x80000000.
A value of 32 or greater triggers undefined behavior per the C standard.

This bug has not been known to cause issues because almost all kernels
take the default CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF=16. Furthermore, as long as a
given compiler gives a deterministic non-zero result for 1<<N for N>=32,
the code correctly invokes all SRCU callbacks, albeit wasting CPU time
along the way.

This commit therefore substitutes the correct 1UL for the buggy 1.

srcu: Fix callbacks acceleration mishandling

SRCU callbacks acceleration might fail if the preceding callbacks
advance also fails. This

srcu: Fix callbacks acceleration mishandling

[ Upstream commit 4a8e65b0c348e42107c64381e692e282900be361 ]

SRCU callbacks acceleration might fail if the preceding callbacks
advance also fails. This can happen when the following steps are met:

1) The RCU_WAIT_TAIL segment has callbacks (say for gp_num 8) and the
RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL also has callbacks (say for gp_num 12).

2) The grace period for RCU_WAIT_TAIL is observed as started but not yet
completed so rcu_seq_current() returns 4 + SRCU_STATE_SCAN1 = 5.

3) This value is passed to rcu_segcblist_advance() which can't move
any segment forward and fails.

4) srcu_gp_start_if_needed() still proceeds with callback acceleration.
But then the call to rcu_seq_snap() observes the grace period for the
RCU_WAIT_TAIL segment (gp_num 8) as completed and the subsequent one
for the RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL segment as started
(ie: 8 + SRCU_STATE_SCAN1 = 9) so it returns a snapshot of the
next grace period, which is 16.

5) The value of 16 is passed to rcu_segcblist_accelerate() but the
freshly enqueued callback in RCU_NEXT_TAIL can't move to
RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL which already has callbacks for a previous grace
period (gp_num = 12). So acceleration fails.

6) Note in all these steps, srcu_invoke_callbacks() hadn't had a chance
to run srcu_invoke_callbacks().

Then some very bad outcome may happen if the following happens:

7) Some other CPU races and starts the grace period number 16 before the
CPU handling previous steps had a chance. Therefore srcu_gp_start()
isn't called on the latter sdp to fix the acceleration leak from
previous steps with a new pair of call to advance/accelerate.

8) The grace period 16 completes and srcu_invoke_callbacks() is finally
called. All the callbacks from previous grace periods (8 and 12) are
correctly advanced and executed but callbacks in RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL
still remain. Then rcu_segcblist_accelerate() is called with a
snaphot of 20.

9) Since nothing started the grace period number 20, callbacks stay
unhandled.

Fix this with taking the snapshot for acceleration _before_ the read
of the current grace period number.

The only side effect of this solution is that callbacks advancing happen
then _after_ the full barrier in rcu_seq_snap(). This is not a problem
because that barrier only cares about:

1) Ordering accesses of the update side before call_srcu() so they don't
bleed.
2) See all the accesses prior to the grace period of the current gp_num

The only things callbacks advancing need to be ordered against are
carried by snp locking.

- Resolution of hotplug warning in nohz code, achieved by fixing
cpu_is_hotpluggable() through interaction with the nohz subsystem.

Tick dependency modifications by Zqiang, focusing on fixing usage of
the TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU_EXP bitmask.

- Avoid needless calls to the rcu-lazy shrinker for CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=n
kernels, fixed by Zqiang.

- Improvements to rcu-tasks stall reporting by Neeraj.

- Initial renaming of k[v]free_rcu() to k[v]free_rcu_mightsleep() for
increased robustness, affecting several components like mac802154,
drbd, vmw_vmci, tracing, and more.

A report by Eric Dumazet showed that the API could be unknowingly
used in an atomic context, so we'd rather make sure they know what
they're asking for by being explicit:

clarifications in comments, and improvements to the srcu_size_state
comments.

- Better srcu_struct cache locality for readers, by adjusting the size
of srcu_struct in support of SRCU usage by Christoph Hellwig.

- Teach lockdep to detect deadlocks between srcu_read_lock() vs
synchronize_srcu() contributed by Boqun.

Previously lockdep could not detect such deadlocks, now it can.

- Integration of rcutorture and rcu-related tools, targeted for v6.4
from Boqun's tree, featuring new SRCU deadlock scenarios, test_nmis

srcu: Clarify comments on memory barrier "E"

There is an smp_mb() named "E" in srcu_flip() immediately before the
increment (flip) of the srcu_struct structure's ->srcu_idx.

The purpose of E is to order the preceding scan's read of lock counters
against the flipping of the ->srcu_idx, in order to prevent new readers
from continuing to use the old ->srcu_idx value, which might needlessly
extend the grace period.

However, this ordering is already enforced because of the control
dependency between the preceding scan and the ->srcu_idx flip.
This control dependency exists because atomic_long_read() is used
to scan the counts, because WRITE_ONCE() is used to flip ->srcu_idx,
and because ->srcu_idx is not flipped until the ->srcu_lock_count[] and
->srcu_unlock_count[] counts match. And such a match cannot happen when
there is an in-flight reader that started before the flip (observation
courtesy Mathieu Desnoyers).

The litmus test below (courtesy of Frederic Weisbecker, with changes
for ctrldep by Boqun and Joel) shows this:

C srcu
(*
* bad condition: P0's first scan (SCAN1) saw P1's idx=0 LOCK count inc, though P1 saw flip.
*
* So basically, the ->po ordering on both P0 and P1 is enforced via ->ppo
* (control deps) on both sides, and both P0 and P1 are interconnected by ->rf
* relations. Combining the ->ppo with ->rf, a cycle is impossible.
*)

{}

// updater
P0(int *IDX, int *LOCK0, int *UNLOCK0, int *LOCK1, int *UNLOCK1)
{
int lock1;
int unlock1;
int lock0;
int unlock0;

// SCAN1
unlock1 = READ_ONCE(*UNLOCK1);
smp_mb(); // A
lock1 = READ_ONCE(*LOCK1);

// FLIP
if (lock1 == unlock1) { // Control dep
smp_mb(); // E // Remove E and still passes.
WRITE_ONCE(*IDX, 1);
smp_mb(); // D

// SCAN2
unlock0 = READ_ONCE(*UNLOCK0);
smp_mb(); // A
lock0 = READ_ONCE(*LOCK0);
}
}

// reader
P1(int *IDX, int *LOCK0, int *UNLOCK0, int *LOCK1, int *UNLOCK1)
{
int tmp;
int idx1;
int idx2;

// 1st reader
idx1 = READ_ONCE(*IDX);
if (idx1 == 0) { // Control dep
tmp = READ_ONCE(*LOCK0);
WRITE_ONCE(*LOCK0, tmp + 1);
smp_mb(); /* B and C */
tmp = READ_ONCE(*UNLOCK0);
WRITE_ONCE(*UNLOCK0, tmp + 1);
} else {
tmp = READ_ONCE(*LOCK1);
WRITE_ONCE(*LOCK1, tmp + 1);
smp_mb(); /* B and C */
tmp = READ_ONCE(*UNLOCK1);
WRITE_ONCE(*UNLOCK1, tmp + 1);
}
}

exists (0:lock1=1 /\ 1:idx1=1)

More complicated litmus tests with multiple SRCU readers also show that
memory barrier E is not needed.

This commit therefore clarifies the comment on memory barrier E.

Why not also remove that redundant smp_mb()?

Because control dependencies are quite fragile due to their not being
recognized by most compilers and tools. Control dependencies therefore
exact an ongoing maintenance burden, and such a burden cannot be justified
in this slowpath. Therefore, that smp_mb() stays until such time as
its overhead becomes a measurable problem in a real workload running on
a real production system, or until such time as compilers start paying
attention to this sort of control dependency.

srcu: Check for readers at module-exit time

srcu: Check for readers at module-exit time

If a given statically allocated in-module srcu_struct structure was ever
used for updates, srcu_module_going() will invoke cleanup_srcu_struct()
at module-exit time. This will check for the error case of SRCU readers
persisting past module-exit time. On the other hand, if this srcu_struct
structure never went through a grace period, srcu_module_going() only
invokes free_percpu(), which would result in strange failures if SRCU
readers persisted past module-exit time.

This commit therefore adds a srcu_readers_active() check to
srcu_module_going(), splatting if readers have persisted and refraining
from invoking free_percpu() in that case. Better to leak memory than
to suffer silent memory corruption!
