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.

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.

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.

This commit therefore adds an rcutree.csd_lock_suppress_rcu_stall kernel

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.

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.

There are instances where rcu_cpu_stall_reset() is called when jiffies
did not get a chance to update for a long time. Before jiffies is
updated, the CPU stall detector can go off triggering false-positives
where a just-started grace period appears to be ages old. In the past,
we disabled stall detection in rcu_cpu_stall_reset() however this got
changed [1]. This is resulting in false-positives in KGDB usecase [2].
Fix this by deferring the update of jiffies to the third run of the FQS
loop. This is more robust, as, even if rcu_cpu_stall_reset() is called
just before jiffies is read, we would end up pushing out the jiffies
read by 3 more FQS loops. Meanwhile the CPU stall detection will be
delayed and we will not get any false positives.

The rcu_check_gp_kthread_starvation() function uses task_cpu() to sample
the last CPU that the grace-period kthread ran on, and task_cpu() samples
the thread_info structure's ->cpu field. But this field will always
contain a number corresponding to a CPU that was online some time in
the past, thus never a negative number. This invariant is checked by
a WARN_ON_ONCE() in set_task_cpu().
This means that if the grace-period kthread exists, that is, if the "gpk"
local variable is non-NULL, the "cpu" local variable will be non-negative.
This in turn means that the existing check for non-negative "cpu" is
redundant with the enclosing check for non-NULL "gpk".
This commit threefore removes the redundant check of "cpu".

The passed parameter to sysrq handlers is a key (a character). So change
the type from 'int' to 'u8'. Let it specifically be 'u8' for two
reasons:
* unsigned: unsigned values come from the upper layers (devices) and the
tty layer assumes unsigned on most places, and
* 8-bit: as that what's supposed to be one day in all the layers built
on the top of tty. (Currently, we use mostly 'unsigned char' and
somewhere still only 'char'. (But that also translates to the former
thanks to -funsigned-char.))

The maximum value of RCU CPU stall-warning timeouts has historically been
five minutes (300 seconds). However, the recently introduced expedited
RCU CPU stall-warning timeout is instead limited to 21 seconds. This
causes problems for CI/fuzzing services such as syzkaller by obscuring
the issue in question with expedited RCU CPU stall-warning timeout splats.
This commit therefore sets the RCU_EXP_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT Kconfig options
upper bound to 300000 milliseconds, which is 300 seconds (AKA 5 minutes).

Time stamps are added to the output in kernels built with
CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME=y, which causes misaligned output. Therefore,
replace pr_cont() with pr_err(), which fixes alignment and gets
rid of a couple of despised pr_cont() calls.

Because RCU CPU stall warnings are driven from the scheduling-clock
interrupt handler, a workload consisting of a very large number of
short-duration hardware interrupts can result in misleading stall-warning
messages. On systems supporting only a single level of interrupts,
that is, where interrupts handlers cannot be interrupted, this can
produce misleading diagnostics. The stack traces will show the
innocent-bystander interrupted task, not the interrupts that are
at the very least exacerbating the stall.
This situation can be improved by displaying the number of interrupts
and the CPU time that they have consumed. Diagnosing other types
of stalls can be eased by also providing the count of softirqs and
the CPU time that they consumed as well as the number of context
switches and the task-level CPU time consumed.
Consider the following output given this change:
rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU
rcu: 0-....: (1250 ticks this GP) <omitted>
rcu: hardirqs softirqs csw/system
rcu: number: 624 45 0
rcu: cputime: 69 1 2425 ==> 2500(ms)
This output shows that the number of hard and soft interrupts is small,
there are no context switches, and the system takes up a lot of time. This
indicates that the current task is looping with preemption disabled.
The impact on system performance is negligible because snapshot is
recorded only once for all continuous RCU stalls.
This added debugging information is suppressed by default and can be
enabled by building the kernel with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_CPUTIME=y or
by booting with rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_cputime=1.

The trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() function attempts to send an NMI to the
target CPU, which usually provides much better stack traces than the
dump_cpu_task() function's approach of dumping that stack from some other
CPU. So much so that most calls to dump_cpu_task() only happen after
a call to trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() has failed. And the exception to
this rule really should attempt to use trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() first.
Therefore, move the trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() invocation into
dump_cpu_task().

This reverts commit 2bb2b7b57f.
The testing of 5.19 release candidates revealed missing synchronization
between early and regular console functionality.
It would be possible to start the console kthreads later as a workaround.
But it is clear that console lock serialized console drivers between
each other. It opens a big area of possible problems that were not
considered by people involved in the development and review.
printk() is crucial for debugging kernel issues and console output is
very important part of it. The number of consoles is huge and a proper
review would take some time. As a result it need to be reverted for 5.19.

If the rcutree.use_softirq kernel boot parameter is disabled, then it is
possible that a RCU CPU stall is due to the rcuc kthreads being starved of
CPU time. There is currently no easy way to infer this from the RCU CPU
stall warning output. This commit therefore adds a string of the form "
rcuc=%ld jiffies(starved)" to a given CPU's output if the corresponding
rcuc kthread has been starved for more than two seconds.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Offload writing printk() messages on consoles to per-console
kthreads.
It prevents soft-lockups when an extensive amount of messages is
printed. It was observed, for example, during boot of large systems
with a lot of peripherals like disks or network interfaces.
It prevents live-lockups that were observed, for example, when
messages about allocation failures were reported and a CPU handled
consoles instead of reclaiming the memory. It was hard to solve even
with rate limiting because it would need to take into account the
amount of messages and the speed of all consoles.
It is a must to have for real time. Otherwise, any printk() might
break latency guarantees.
The per-console kthreads allow to handle each console on its own
speed. Slow consoles do not longer slow down faster ones. And
printk() does not longer unpredictably slows down various code paths.
There are situations when the kthreads are either not available or
not reliable, for example, early boot, suspend, or panic. In these
situations, printk() uses the legacy mode and tries to handle
consoles immediately.
- Add documentation for the printk index.

Currently both expedited and regular grace period stall warnings use
a single timeout value that with units of seconds. However, recent
Android use cases problem require a sub-100-millisecond expedited RCU CPU
stall warning. Given that expedited RCU grace periods normally complete
in far less than a single millisecond, especially for small systems,
this is not unreasonable.
Therefore introduce the CONFIG_RCU_EXP_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT kernel
configuration that defaults to 20 msec on Android and remains the same
as that of the non-expedited stall warnings otherwise. It also can be
changed in run-time via: /sys/.../parameters/rcu_exp_cpu_stall_timeout.

Once kthread printing is available, console printing will no longer
occur in the context of the printk caller. However, there are some
special contexts where it is desirable for the printk caller to
directly print out kernel messages. Using pr_flush() to wait for
threaded printers is only possible if the caller is in a sleepable
context and the kthreads are active. That is not always the case.
Introduce printk_prefer_direct_enter() and printk_prefer_direct_exit()
functions to explicitly (and globally) activate/deactivate preferred
direct console printing. The term "direct console printing" refers to
printing to all enabled consoles from the context of the printk
caller. The term "prefer" is used because this type of printing is
only best effort. If the console is currently locked or other
printers are already actively printing, the printk caller will need
to rely on the other contexts to handle the printing.
This preferred direct printing is how all printing has been handled
until now (unless it was explicitly deferred).
When kthread printing is introduced, there may be some unanticipated
problems due to kthreads being unable to flush important messages.
In order to minimize such risks, preferred direct printing is
activated for the primary important messages when the system
experiences general types of major errors. These are:
- emergency reboot/shutdown
- cpu and rcu stalls
- hard and soft lockups
- hung tasks
- warn
- sysrq
Note that since kthread printing does not yet exist, no behavior
changes result from this commit. This is only implementing the
counter and marking the various places where preferred direct
printing is active.

When the rcutree.use_softirq kernel boot parameter is set to zero, all
RCU_SOFTIRQ processing is carried out by the per-CPU rcuc kthreads.
If these kthreads are being starved, quiescent states will not be
reported, which in turn means that the grace period will not end, which
can in turn trigger RCU CPU stall warnings. This commit therefore dumps
stack traces of stalled CPUs' rcuc kthreads, which can help identify
what is preventing those kthreads from running.

This commit marks the accesses in tree_stall.h so as to both avoid
undesirable compiler optimizations and to keep KCSAN focused on the
accesses of the core algorithm.

Accesses to ->qsmask are normally protected by ->lock, but there is an
exception in the diagnostic code in rcu_check_boost_fail(). This commit
therefore applies data_race() to this access to avoid KCSAN complaining
about the C-language writes protected by ->lock.

Systems with low-bandwidth consoles can have very large printk()
latencies, and on such systems it makes no sense to have the next RCU CPU
stall warning message start output before the prior message completed.
This commit therefore sets the time of the next stall only after the
prints have completed. While printing, the time of the next stall
message is set to ULONG_MAX/2 jiffies into the future.

rcu_cpu_stall_reset() is one of the functions virtual CPUs
execute during VM resume in order to handle jiffies skew
that can trigger false positive stall warnings. Paul has
pointed out that this approach is problematic because
rcu_cpu_stall_reset() disables RCU grace period stall-detection
virtually forever, while in fact it can just restart the
stall-detection timeout.

The soft watchdog timer function checks if a virtual machine
was suspended and hence what looks like a lockup in fact
is a false positive.
This is what kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused() does: it
tests guest PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED (which is set by the host)
and if it's set then we need to touch all watchdogs and bail
out.
Watchdog timer function runs from IRQ, so PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED
check works fine.
There is, however, one more watchdog that runs from IRQ, so
watchdog timer fn races with it, and that watchdog is not aware
of PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED - RCU stall detector.
apic_timer_interrupt()
smp_apic_timer_interrupt()
hrtimer_interrupt()
__hrtimer_run_queues()
tick_sched_timer()
tick_sched_handle()
update_process_times()
rcu_sched_clock_irq()
This triggers RCU stalls on our devices during VM resume.
If tick_sched_handle()->rcu_sched_clock_irq() runs on a VCPU
before watchdog_timer_fn()->kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused()
then there is nothing on this VCPU that touches watchdogs and
RCU reads stale gp stall timestamp and new jiffies value, which
makes it think that RCU has stalled.
Make RCU stall watchdog aware of PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED and
don't report RCU stalls when we resume the VM.

If rcu_print_task_stall() is invoked on an rcu_node structure that does
not contain any tasks blocking the current grace period, it takes an
early exit that fails to release that rcu_node structure's lock. This
results in a self-deadlock, which is detected by lockdep.
To reproduce this bug:
tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh --allcpus --duration 3 --trust-make --configs "TREE03" --kconfig "CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y" --bootargs "rcutorture.stall_cpu=30 rcutorture.stall_cpu_block=1 rcutorture.fwd_progress=0 rcutorture.test_boost=0"
This will also result in other complaints, including RCU's scheduler
hook complaining about blocking rather than preemption and an rcutorture
writer stall.
Only a partial RCU CPU stall warning message will be printed because of
the self-deadlock.
This commit therefore releases the lock on the rcu_print_task_stall()
function's early exit path.

The for loop in rcu_print_task_stall() always omits ts[0], which points
to the first task blocking the stalled grace period. This in turn fails
to count this first task, which means that ndetected will be equal to
zero when all CPUs have passed through their quiescent states and only
one task is blocking the stalled grace period. This zero value for
ndetected will in turn result in an incorrect "All QSes seen" message:
rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:
