[PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/12] RCU Kconfig fixes for v4.2

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/12] RCU Kconfig fixes for v4.2

[Paul E. McKenney]

Hello!

This patch series reduces the number of questions that RCU asks Kconfig
users.  After this series is applied, removing the RCU-related definitions
from .config and running "make oldconfig" results in only the following:

RCU Implementation
> 1. Tree-based hierarchical RCU (TREE_RCU) (NEW)
choice[1]: 1
Make expert-level adjustments to RCU configuration (RCU_EXPERT) [N/y/?] (NEW)

Those expert users wishing to tune RCU answer Y to this question.

The patches in this series are as follows:

1.	Drive TASKS_RCU directly from Kconfig, for example, by having
	RCU_TORTURE_TESTS select it.

2.	Remove CONFIG_TASKS_RCU=y from the three TASKS_RCU test
	scenarios, since this is set by virtue of having rcutorture
	configured.

3.	Drive RCU_USER_QS directly from Kconfig, relying on the fact
	that NO_HZ_FULL selects it.

4.	Convert CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT to a boot parameter, where it
	is used by rcutorture.

5.	Update rcutorture test scenarios to use the boot parameter
	created in #4 instead of the Kconfig parameter.

6.	Create a boot parameter to do a diagnostic dump of the shape
	of the rcu_node combining tree, which is useful for verifying
	that intended changes to that tree actually happened.

7.	Create an RCU_EXPERT Kconfig parameter and hide the
	RCU_FAST_NO_HZ, RCU_BOOST, CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE, and
	RCU_NOCB_CPU boolean parameters behind it.

8.	Make rcutorture test scenarios force RCU_EXPERT, but have
	SRCU-P, TASKS03, and TREE09 retain !RCU_EXPERT in order to
	test the vanilla configuration.

9.	Remove the dependency of RCU_FANOUT_LEAF on RCU_FANOUT.

10.	Change RCU to allow it to tolerate an undefined RCU_FANOUT,
	and then hide RCU_FANOUT behind RCU_EXPERT.

11.	Change RCU to allow it to tolerate an undefined RCU_FANOUT_LEAF,
	and then hide RCU_FANOUT_LEAF behind RCU_EXPERT.

12.	Change RCU to allow it to tolerate an undefined RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO,
	and then hide RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO behind RCU_EXPERT.

							Thanx, Paul

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 01/12] rcu: Directly drive TASKS_RCU from Kconfig

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Currently, Kconfig will ask the user whether TASKS_RCU should be set.
This is silly because Kconfig already has all the information that it
needs to set this parameter.  This commit therefore directly drives
the value of TASKS_RCU via "select" statements.  Which means that
as subsystems require TASKS_RCU, those subsystems will need to add
"select" statements of their own.

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 02/12] rcutorture: TASKS_RCU set directly, so don't explicitly set it

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The TASKS01, TASKS02, and TASKS03 rcutorture config fragments currently
set CONFIG_TASKS_RCU.  However, now that the value of this Kconfig
parameter is set via "select" statements, it is no longer necessary to
set it explicitly.  This commit therefore removes it from the Kconfig
fragments.

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 04/12] rcu: Covert CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT to boot parameter

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT Kconfig parameter is used primarily (and
perhaps only) by rcutorture to verify that RCU works correctly in specific
rcu_node combining-tree configurations.  It therefore does not make
much sense have this as a question to people attempting to configure
their kernels.  So this commit creates an rcutree.rcu_fanout_exact=
boot parameter that rcutorture can use, and eliminates the original
CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT Kconfig parameter.

There are some some references to it in
tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/doc/TREE_RCU-kconfig.txt. I think
it will be good to modify them with this commit.

Good point!  Actually, this is a bit out of date by now, so I should
just bring it up to the present time.  Please see below.

    rcutorture: Update TREE_RCU-kconfig.txt
    
    This commit updates TREE_RCU-kconfig.txt to reflect changes in RCU's
    Kconfig setup.  This commit also updates rcutorture's Kconfig fragments
    to account for Kconfig parameters that are now driven directly off of
    other Kconfig parameters.

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 06/12] rcu: Enable diagnostic dump of rcu_node combining tree

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The purpose of this commit is to make it easier to verify that RCU's
combining tree is set up correctly, which is useful to have when making
changes in how that tree is initialized.

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 07/12] rcu: Create RCU_EXPERT Kconfig and hide booleans behind it

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This commit creates an RCU_EXPERT Kconfig and hides the boolean
RCU-related user-visible Kconfig parameters behind it, namely
RCU_FAST_NO_HZ, RCU_BOOST, CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE, and RCU_NOCB_CPU.
This prevents Kconfig from asking about these parameters unless the user
really wants to be asked.

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 08/12] rcutorture: Make rcutorture scripts force RCU_EXPERT

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This commit causes the rcutorture scripts to force RCU_EXPERT so that
these scripts can cause rcutorture to torture RCU in the various required
configurations.  However, SRCU-P, TASKS03, and TREE09 retain !RCU_EXPERT
in order to ensure testing of the vanilla configuration.

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 09/12] rcu: Break dependency of RCU_FANOUT_LEAF on RCU_FANOUT

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

RCU_FANOUT_LEAF's range and default values depend on the value of
RCU_FANOUT, which at the time seemed like a cute way to save two lines
of Kconfig code.  However, adding a dependency from both of these
Kconfig parameters on RCU_EXPERT requires that RCU_FANOUT_LEAF operate
correctly even if RCU_FANOUT is undefined.  This commit therefore
allows RCU_FANOUT_LEAF to take on the full range of permitted values,
even in cases where RCU_FANOUT is undefined.

What is the effect of this 'default 16' line? It is either 64 or 32
based on 64BIT, not sure when it is 16...

Good catch, fixes to delete the two added "default" statements.
The default thus is now 16, as it was before.

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 10/12] rcu: Make RCU able to tolerate undefined CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This commit introduces an RCU_FANOUT C-preprocessor macro so that RCU will
build even when CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT is undefined.  The RCU_FANOUT macro is
set to the value of CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT when defined, otherwise it is set
to 32 for 32-bit systems and 64 for 64-bit systems.  This commit then
makes CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT depend on CONFIG_RCU_EXPERT, so that Kconfig
users won't be asked about CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT unless they want to be.

So if CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF is either by default 32 or 64, this check
against 16 for build-time adjustment is a bit misleading, no?

Indeed!

However, with the fix that puts the default back to 16, this should be
once again correct.

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 12/12] rcu: Make RCU able to tolerate undefined CONFIG_RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This commit updates the initialization of the kthread_prio boot parameter
so that RCU will build even when CONFIG_RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO is undefined.
The kthread_prio boot parameter is set to CONFIG_RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO if
that is defined, otherwise to 1 if CONFIG_RCU_BOOST is defined and
to zero otherwise.  This commit then makes CONFIG_RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO
depend on CONFIG_RCU_EXPERT, so that Kconfig users won't be asked about
CONFIG_RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO unless they want to be.
