[PATCH v2 0/16] SRCU updates for v6.19

[PATCH v2 0/16] SRCU updates for v6.19

[Paul E. McKenney]

Hello!

This series creates an srcu_expedite_current() function that allows
after-the-fact expediting of SRCU grace periods, adds a DEFINE_SRCU_FAST()
that further speeds things up by removing a conditional branch from
srcu_read_lock_fast*(), updates documentation, uses SRCU-fast to guard
event traces in PREEMPT_RT kernel (thus making such kernels safe for
event tracing), adds srcu_read_{,un}lock_fast_updown() functions that are
compatible with srcu_down_read() and srcu_up_read(), but do not permit
use in NMI handlers (to permit further optimization of SRCU-fast readers
by relieving them of the need to deal with irq/softirq/NMI handlers with
unbalanced lock/unlock calls), and optimizes SRCU-fast-updown for large
ARM servers that use LSE.  It is expected that this optimization will be
obsoleted by some arm64 architecture-specific work:

	https://lore.kernel.org/all/aQU7l-qMKJTx4znJ@arm.com/

The patches are as follows:

1.	Permit Tiny SRCU srcu_read_unlock() with interrupts disabled.

2.	Create an srcu_expedite_current() function.

3.	Test srcu_expedite_current().

4.	Create a DEFINE_SRCU_FAST().

5.	Make grace-period determination use ssp->srcu_reader_flavor.

6.	Exercise DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU_FAST() and init_srcu_struct_fast().

7.	Require special srcu_struct define/init for SRCU-fast readers.

8.	Make SRCU-fast readers enforce use of SRCU-fast definition/init.

9.	Update for SRCU-fast definitions and initialization.

10.	Guard __DECLARE_TRACE() use of __DO_TRACE_CALL() with SRCU-fast.

11.	Mark diagnostic functions as notrace.

12.	Add SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_FAST_UPDOWN CPP macro.

13.	Permit negative kvm.sh --kconfig numberic arguments.

14.	Create an SRCU-fast-updown API.

15.	Optimize SRCU-fast-updown for arm64.

16.	Make srcu{,d}_torture_init() announce the SRCU type.

Changes since v1:

o	Merge addition and testing of SRCU-fast-updown for bisectability.

https://lore.kernel.org/all/082fb8ba-91b8-448e-a472-195eb7b282fd@paulmck-laptop/

Many of these patches were previously associated with another series
that re-implemented RCU tasks trace in terms of SRCU-fast.  This work
is being deferred pending resolution of the ARM LSE situation on the one
hand or full debugging of the all-too-clever workaround optimization on
the other.  ;-)

						Thanx, Paul

[PATCH v2 01/16] srcu: Permit Tiny SRCU srcu_read_unlock() with interrupts disabled

[Paul E. McKenney]

The current Tiny SRCU implementation of srcu_read_unlock() awakens
the grace-period processing when exiting the outermost SRCU read-side
critical section.  However, not all Linux-kernel configurations and
contexts permit swake_up_one() to be invoked while interrupts are
disabled, and this can result in indefinitely extended SRCU grace periods.
This commit therefore only invokes swake_up_one() when interrupts are
enabled, and introduces polling to the grace-period workqueue handler.

[PATCH v2 02/16] srcu: Create an srcu_expedite_current() function

[Paul E. McKenney]

This commit creates an srcu_expedite_current() function that expedites
the current (and possibly the next) SRCU grace period for the specified
srcu_struct structure.  This functionality will be inherited by RCU
Tasks Trace courtesy of its mapping to SRCU fast.

If the current SRCU grace period is already waiting, that wait will
complete before the expediting takes effect.  If there is no SRCU grace
period in flight, this function might well create one.

[PATCH v2 04/16] srcu: Create a DEFINE_SRCU_FAST()

[Paul E. McKenney]

This commit creates DEFINE_SRCU_FAST() and DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU_FAST()
macros that are similar to DEFINE_SRCU() and DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU(),
but which create srcu_struct structures that are usable only by readers
initiated by srcu_read_lock_fast() and friends.

This commit does make DEFINE_SRCU_FAST() available to modules, in which
case the per-CPU srcu_data structures are not created at compile time, but
rather at module-load time.  This means that the >srcu_reader_flavor field
of the srcu_data structure is not available.  Therefore,
this commit instead creates an ->srcu_reader_flavor field in the
srcu_struct structure, adds arguments to the DEFINE_SRCU()-related
macros to initialize this new field, and extends the checks in the
__srcu_check_read_flavor() function to include this new field.

This commit also allows dynamically allocated srcu_struct structure
to be marked for SRCU-fast readers.  It does so by defining a new
init_srcu_struct_fast() function that marks the specified srcu_struct
structure for use by srcu_read_lock_fast() and friends.

[PATCH v2 05/16] srcu: Make grace-period determination use ssp->srcu_reader_flavor

[Paul E. McKenney]

This commit causes the srcu_readers_unlock_idx() function to take the
srcu_struct structure's ->srcu_reader_flavor field into account.  This
ensures that structures defined via DEFINE_SRCU_FAST( or initialized via
init_srcu_struct_fast() have their grace periods use synchronize_srcu()
or synchronize_srcu_expedited() instead of smp_mb(), even before the
first SRCU reader has been entered.

[PATCH v2 06/16] rcutorture: Exercise DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU_FAST() and init_srcu_struct_fast()

[Paul E. McKenney]

This commit updates the initialization for the "srcu" and "srcud" torture
types to use DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU_FAST() and init_srcu_struct_fast(),
respectively, when reader_flavor is equal to SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_FAST.

[PATCH v2 07/16] srcu: Require special srcu_struct define/init for SRCU-fast readers

[Paul E. McKenney]

This commit adds CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y checking to enforce the new rule that
srcu_struct structures passed to srcu_read_lock_fast() and other SRCU-fast
read-side markers be either initialized with init_srcu_struct_fast()
on the one hand or defined using either DEFINE_SRCU_FAST() or
DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU_FAST().  This will enable removal of the non-debug
read-side checks from srcu_read_lock_fast() and friends, which on my
laptop provides a 25% speedup (which admittedly amounts to about half
a nanosecond, but when tracing fastpaths...)

[PATCH v2 08/16] srcu: Make SRCU-fast readers enforce use of SRCU-fast definition/init

[Paul E. McKenney]

This commit makes CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y kernels enforce the new rule
that srcu_struct structures that are passed to srcu_read_lock_fast()
and other SRCU-fast read-side markers be either initialized with
init_srcu_struct_fast() on the one hand or defined with DEFINE_SRCU_FAST()
or DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU_FAST() on the other.

This eliminates the read-side test that was formerly included in
srcu_read_lock_fast() and friends, speeding these primitives up by
about 25% (admittedly only about half of a nanosecond, but when tracing
on fastpaths...)

[PATCH v2 10/16] tracing: Guard __DECLARE_TRACE() use of __DO_TRACE_CALL() with SRCU-fast

[Paul E. McKenney]

The current use of guard(preempt_notrace)() within __DECLARE_TRACE()
to protect invocation of __DO_TRACE_CALL() means that BPF programs
attached to tracepoints are non-preemptible.  This is unhelpful in
real-time systems, whose users apparently wish to use BPF while also
achieving low latencies.  (Who knew?)

One option would be to use preemptible RCU, but this introduces
many opportunities for infinite recursion, which many consider to
be counterproductive, especially given the relatively small stacks
provided by the Linux kernel.  These opportunities could be shut down
by sufficiently energetic duplication of code, but this sort of thing
is considered impolite in some circles.

Therefore, use the shiny new SRCU-fast API, which provides somewhat faster
readers than those of preemptible RCU, at least on my laptop, where
task_struct access is more expensive than access to per-CPU variables.
And SRCU fast provides way faster readers than does SRCU, courtesy of
being able to avoid the read-side use of smp_mb().  Also, it is quite
straightforward to create srcu_read_{,un}lock_fast_notrace() functions.

While in the area, SRCU now supports early boot call_srcu().  Therefore,
remove the checks that used to avoid such use from rcu_free_old_probes()
before this commit was applied:

e53244e2c893 ("tracepoint: Remove SRCU protection")

The current commit can be thought of as an approximate revert of that
commit, with some compensating additions of preemption disabling pointed
out by Steven Rostedt (thank you, Steven!).  This preemption disabling
uses guard(preempt_notrace)(), and while in the area a couple of other
use cases were also converted to guards.

However, Yonghong Song points out that BPF expects non-sleepable BPF
programs to remain on the same CPU, which means that migration must
be disabled whenever preemption remains enabled.  In addition, non-RT
kernels have performance expectations on BPF that would be violated
by allowing the BPF programs to be preempted.

Therefore, continue to disable preemption in non-RT kernels, and protect
the BPF program with both SRCU and migration disabling for RT kernels,
and even then only if preemption is not already disabled.

[ paulmck: Apply kernel test robot and Yonghong Song feedback. ]

[PATCH v2 11/16] rcu: Mark diagnostic functions as notrace

[Paul E. McKenney]

The rcu_lockdep_current_cpu_online(), rcu_read_lock_sched_held(),
rcu_read_lock_held(), rcu_read_lock_bh_held(), rcu_read_lock_any_held()
are used by tracing-related code paths, so putting traces on them is
unlikely to make anyone happy.  This commit therefore marks them all
"notrace".

[PATCH v2 12/16] srcu: Add SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_FAST_UPDOWN CPP macro

[Paul E. McKenney]

This commit adds the SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_FAST_UPDOWN=0x8 macro
and adjusts rcutorture to make use of it.  In this commit, both
SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_FAST=0x4 and the new SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_FAST_UPDOWN
test SRCU-fast.  When the SRCU-fast-updown is added, the new
SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_FAST_UPDOWN macro will test it when passed to the
rcutorture.reader_flavor module parameter.

The old SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_FAST macro's value changed from 0x8 to 0x4.

[PATCH v2 13/16] torture: Permit negative kvm.sh --kconfig numberic arguments

[Paul E. McKenney]

This commit loosens the kvm.sh script's regular expressions to permit
negative-valued Kconfig options, for example:

	--kconfig CONFIG_CMDLINE_LOG_WRAP_IDEAL_LEN=-1

[PATCH v2 14/16] srcu: Create an SRCU-fast-updown API

[Paul E. McKenney]

This commit creates an SRCU-fast-updown API, including
DEFINE_SRCU_FAST_UPDOWN(), DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU_FAST_UPDOWN(),
__init_srcu_struct_fast_updown(), init_srcu_struct_fast_updown(),
srcu_read_lock_fast_updown(), srcu_read_unlock_fast_updown(),
__srcu_read_lock_fast_updown(), and __srcu_read_unlock_fast_updown().

These are initially identical to their SRCU-fast counterparts, but both
SRCU-fast and SRCU-fast-updown will be optimized in different directions
by later commits.  SRCU-fast will lack any sort of srcu_down_read() and
srcu_up_read() APIs, which will enable extremely efficient NMI safety.
For its part, SRCU-fast-updown will not be NMI safe, which will enable
reasonably efficient implementations of srcu_down_read_fast() and
srcu_up_read_fast().

This commit also adds rcutorture tests for the new APIs.  This
(annoyingly) needs to be in the same commit for bisectability.  With this
commit, the 0x8 value tests SRCU-fast-updown.  However, most SRCU-fast
testing will be via the RCU Tasks Trace wrappers.

[ paulmck: Apply s/0x8/0x4/ missing change per Boqun Feng feedback. ]
[ paulmck: Apply Akira Yokosawa feedback. ]

[PATCH v2 15/16] srcu: Optimize SRCU-fast-updown for arm64

[Paul E. McKenney]

Some arm64 platforms have slow per-CPU atomic operations, for example,
the Neoverse V2.  This commit therefore moves SRCU-fast from per-CPU
atomic operations to interrupt-disabled non-read-modify-write-atomic
atomic_read()/atomic_set() operations.  This works because
SRCU-fast-updown is not invoked from read-side primitives, which
means that if srcu_read_unlock_fast() NMI handlers.  This means that
srcu_read_lock_fast_updown() and srcu_read_unlock_fast_updown() can
exclude themselves and each other

This reduces the overhead of calls to srcu_read_lock_fast_updown() and
srcu_read_unlock_fast_updown() from about 100ns to about 12ns on an ARM
Neoverse V2.  Although this is not excellent compared to about 2ns on x86,
it sure beats 100ns.

This command was used to measure the overhead:

tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh --torture refscale --allcpus --duration 5 --configs NOPREEMPT --kconfig "CONFIG_NR_CPUS=64 CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU=y" --bootargs "refscale.loops=100000 refscale.guest_os_delay=5 refscale.nreaders=64 refscale.holdoff=30 torture.disable_onoff_at_boot refscale.scale_type=srcu-fast-updown refscale.verbose_batched=8 torture.verbose_sleep_frequency=8 torture.verbose_sleep_duration=8 refscale.nruns=100" --trust-make

Actually, please don't do any conversions. That code is unrelated to
this work and I may be touching it. I don't need unneeded conflicts.

Instead of using the IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT) I think it would be
somewhat cleaner to add macros (all of this is untested):

#ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT
extern struct srcu_struct tracepoint_srcu;
# define tracepoint_sync() synchronizes_srcu(&tracepoint_srcu)
# define tracepoint_guard() \
     guard(srcu_fast_notrace)(&tracepoint_srcu); \
     guard(migrate)()
#else
# define tracepoint_sync() synchronize_rcu();
# define tracepoint_guard() guard(preempt_notrace)
#endif

And then the above can be:

static inline void tracepoint_synchronize_unregister(void)
{
 	synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace();
	tracepoint_sync();
}

and the below:

	static inline void __do_trace_##name(proto)			\
	{								\
		if (cond) {						\
			tracepoint_guard();				\
			__DO_TRACE_CALL(name, TP_ARGS(args));		\
		}							\
	}								\

And not have to duplicate all that code.

Note, the tracepoint code expects that there's only one level of
preemption done, as it records the preempt_count and needs to subtract
what tracing added. Just calling preempt_notrace here if it had already
disabled preemption will break that code.

It should only disable preemption if it hasn't already done that (when
PREEMPT_RT is enabled).

I may be modifying the above, so I would leave it alone.

OK, thank you for letting me know.  Should I set up for the merge window
after this coming one (of course applying your feedback below), or will
you be making this safe for PREEMPT_RT as part of your work?

If I don't hear otherwise, I will assume the former, though I would be
quite happy with the latter.  ;-).

Just don't convert the open coded preempt_disable() to a guard(). That's
the code I plan on touching. The rest is fine (with my suggestions ;-)

Ah, thank you for the clarification!  Will do.

Frederic, could you please drop this commit from your shared-RCU stack?

Actually, I was looking to get rid of that preempt disable in that syscall
code. You could use this patch instead. I made the necessary updates. It
still needs preemption disabled when PREEMPT_RT is not set, but this should
be fine, and hopefully doesn't conflict too badly with my own changes.

To get an idea, by blindly adding the preempt disable on non-RT we have this:

         chronyd-544     [006] ...1.   110.216639: lock_release: 0000000099631762 &mm->mmap_lock

All those "...1." is the tracer saying that preempt was disabled when it
was not. The two without it ("....") are the syscall routines (which didn't
change).

Now with RT enabled:

It gets a bit more confusing. We see "migrate disabled" (the last number)
except when preemption is enabled. That's because in your code, we only do
the migrate dance when preemption is disabled:

> +			if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT) && preemptible()) {	\
> +				guard(srcu_fast_notrace)(&tracepoint_srcu);	\
> +				guard(migrate)();				\

> +			} else {						\
> +				guard(preempt_notrace)();			\
> +				__DO_TRACE_CALL(name, TP_ARGS(args));		\
> +			}

And that will make accounting in the trace event callback much more
difficult, when it's sometimes disabling migration and sometimes disabling
preemption. It must do one or the other. It can't be conditional like that.

With my update below, it goes back to normal:

I did some minor testing of this patch both with and without PREEMPT_RT
enabled. This replaces this current patch. Feel free to use it.

Huh.  Would something like "...11" indicate that both preemption and
migration are disabled?

You lost me on this one.  Wouldn't the "preemptible()" condition in that
"if" statement mean that migration is disabled only when preemption
is *enabled*?

What am I missing here?

Preemption was disabled when coming in.

So preemption is disabled when the event was hit. That would make
"preemptible()" false, and we will then up the preempt_count again and
not disable migration.

The code that records the preempt count expects the tracing code to
increment the preempt_count, so it decrements it by one. Thus it records;

  ...1.

As migrate disable wasn't set.

Again, thank you, and I will start up some testing as well.  Please see
below for an attempted commit log.

The SRCU commits that this depends on are slated for the upcoming
merge window, so we can work out the best way to send this upstreeam.
Whatever works.  ;-)

commit b6bf6a9f8b7237152c528ff27af4b17ccd26409f
Author: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
Date:   Wed Jul 16 12:34:26 2025 -0700

    tracing: Guard __DECLARE_TRACE() use of __DO_TRACE_CALL() with SRCU-fast
    
    The current use of guard(preempt_notrace)() within __DECLARE_TRACE()
    to protect invocation of __DO_TRACE_CALL() means that BPF programs
    attached to tracepoints are non-preemptible.  This is unhelpful in
    real-time systems, whose users apparently wish to use BPF while also
    achieving low latencies.  (Who knew?)
    
    One option would be to use preemptible RCU, but this introduces
    many opportunities for infinite recursion, which many consider to
    be counterproductive, especially given the relatively small stacks
    provided by the Linux kernel.  These opportunities could be shut down
    by sufficiently energetic duplication of code, but this sort of thing
    is considered impolite in some circles.
    
    Therefore, use the shiny new SRCU-fast API, which provides somewhat faster
    readers than those of preemptible RCU, at least on Paul E. McKenney's
    laptop, where task_struct access is more expensive than access to per-CPU
    variables.  And SRCU-fast provides way faster readers than does SRCU,
    courtesy of being able to avoid the read-side use of smp_mb().  Also,
    it is quite straightforward to create srcu_read_{,un}lock_fast_notrace()
    functions.
    
    While in the area, SRCU now supports early boot call_srcu().  Therefore,
    remove the checks that used to avoid such use from rcu_free_old_probes()
    before this commit was applied:
    
    e53244e2c893 ("tracepoint: Remove SRCU protection")
    
    The current commit can be thought of as an approximate revert of that
    commit, with some compensating additions of preemption disabling.
    This preemption disabling uses guard(preempt_notrace)().
    
    However, Yonghong Song points out that BPF assumes that non-sleepable
    BPF programs will remain on the same CPU, which means that migration
    must be disabled whenever preemption remains enabled.  In addition,
    non-RT kernels have performance expectations that would be violated by
    allowing the BPF programs to be preempted.
    
    Therefore, continue to disable preemption in non-RT kernels, and protect
    the BPF program with both SRCU and migration disabling for RT kernels,
    and even then only if preemption is not already disabled.

I've queued the per-cpu tweak from Catalin in the arm64 fixes tree [1]
for 6.18, so please can you drop this SRCU commit from your tree?

Very good!  Adding Frederic on CC since he is doing the pull request
for the upcoming merge window.

But if this doesn't show up in -rc1, we reserve the right to put it
back in.

Sorry, couldn't resist!   ;-)

It landed in Linus' tree here:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/arch/arm64?id=535fdfc5a228524552ee8810c9175e877e127c27

Please can you drop the SRCU change from -next? It still shows up in
20251121.

Doing a last round of reviews before sitting down on a pull request,
I think the changelog in this one should mention what are the expected
uses of SRCU-fast-updown, since the RCU-TASK-TRACE conversion bits aren't
there for this merge window yet.

Thanks.

The RCU Tasks Trace conversion is helped by RCU-fast.  RCU-fast-updown
is needed for Andrii's uretprobes code in order to get rid of the
read-side memory barriers while still allowing entering the reader at
task level while exiting it in a timer handler.

Does any of that help?

Oh, and commit-by-commit testing passed this past evening, so still
looking good there!

Ok, here is the new proposed changelog accordingly:

----
srcu: Create an SRCU-fast-updown API

This commit creates an SRCU-fast-updown API, including
DEFINE_SRCU_FAST_UPDOWN(), DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU_FAST_UPDOWN(),
__init_srcu_struct_fast_updown(), init_srcu_struct_fast_updown(),
srcu_read_lock_fast_updown(), srcu_read_unlock_fast_updown(),
__srcu_read_lock_fast_updown(), and __srcu_read_unlock_fast_updown().

These are initially identical to their SRCU-fast counterparts, but both
SRCU-fast and SRCU-fast-updown will be optimized in different directions
by later commits. SRCU-fast will lack any sort of srcu_down_read() and
srcu_up_read() APIs, which will enable extremely efficient NMI safety.
For its part, SRCU-fast-updown will not be NMI safe, which will enable
reasonably efficient implementations of srcu_down_read_fast() and
srcu_up_read_fast().

This API fork happens to meet two different future usecases.

* SRCU-fast will become the reimplementation basis for RCU-TASK-TRACE
  for consolidation. Since RCU-TASK-TRACE must be NMI safe, SRCU-fast
  must be as well.

* SRCU-fast-updown will be needed for uretprobes code in order to get
  rid of the read-side memory barriers while still allowing entering the
  reader at task level while exiting it in a timer handler.

This commit also adds rcutorture tests for the new APIs.  This
(annoyingly) needs to be in the same commit for bisectability.  With this
commit, the 0x8 value tests SRCU-fast-updown.  However, most SRCU-fast
testing will be via the RCU Tasks Trace wrappers.
