rcutorture: Print time since GP end upon forward-progress failure

2018-12-01T20:45:40Z

If rcutorture's forward-progress tests fail while a grace period is not in progress, it is useful to print the time since the last grace period ended as a way to detect failure to launch a new grace period. This commit therefore makes this change. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Print per-CPU callback counts for forward-progress failures

2018-12-01T20:45:38Z

This commit prints out the non-zero per-CPU callback counts when a forware-progress error (OOM event) occurs. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney [ paulmck: Fix a pair of uninitialized locals spotted by kbuild test robot. ]

rcu: Account for nocb-CPU callback counts in RCU CPU stall warnings

2018-12-01T20:45:37Z

The RCU CPU stall warnings print an estimate of the total number of RCU callbacks queued in the system, but this estimate leaves out the callbacks queued for nocbs CPUs. This commit therefore introduces rcu_get_n_cbs_cpu(), which gives an accurate callback estimate for both nocbs and normal CPUs, and uses this new function as needed. This commit also introduces a rcu_get_n_cbs_nocb_cpu() helper function that returns the number of callbacks for nocbs CPUs or zero otherwise, and also uses this function in place of direct access to ->nocb_q_count while in the area (fewer characters, you see).

rcutorture: Dump grace-period diagnostics upon forward-progress OOM

2018-12-01T20:45:36Z

This commit adds an OOM notifier during rcutorture forward-progress testing. If this notifier is invoked, it dumps out some grace-period state to help debug the forward-progress problem. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Trace end of grace period before end of grace period

2018-11-12T17:03:59Z

Currently, rcu_gp_cleanup() traces the end of the old grace period after the old grace period has officially ended. This might make intuitive sense, but it also makes for confusing event-trace output because the "end" trace displays not the old but instead the new grace-period number. This commit therefore traces the end of an old grace period just before that grace period officially ends. Reported-by: Aravinda Prasad Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Adjust the comment of function rcu_is_watching

2018-11-12T17:03:59Z

Because RCU avoids interrupting idle CPUs, rcu_is_watching() is used to test whether or not it is currently legal to run RCU read-side critical sections on this CPU. However, the first sentence and last sentences of current comment for rcu_is_watching have opposite meaning of what is expected. This commit therefore fixes this header comment.

rcu: Add jiffies-since-GP-activity to show_rcu_gp_kthreads()

2018-11-12T17:03:59Z

This commit adds a printout of the number of jiffies since the last time that the RCU grace-period kthread did any processing. This can be useful when tracking down forward-progress issues. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Add state name to show_rcu_gp_kthreads() output

2018-11-12T17:03:59Z

This commit adds the name of the RCU grace-period state to the show_rcu_gp_kthreads() output in order to ease debugging. This commit also moves gp_state_getname() up in the code so that show_rcu_gp_kthreads() can use it. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney
