[PATCH, RFC] v4 scalable classic RCU implementation

[Paul E. McKenney]

Hello!

Still experimental, not for inclusion.  But ready for serious experimental
use, in particular, experience on an actual >1000-CPU machine would be
most welcome.

Updates from v3:

o	The hierarchical-RCU implementation has been moved to its own
	"rcutree" set of files.  This allows configuring three different
	implementations of RCU (CLASSIC_RCU, PREEMPT_RCU, and the new
	TREE_RCU).  More importantly, it enables easy application of
	this patch to a wide variety of Linux versions.

	I hope that this implementation can completely replace Classic
	RCU, but in the meantime, this split makes for easier testing
	and review.

o	The stalled-CPU detection is now implemented and working,
	enabled by the CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL config parameter.  Complaints
	are kprint()ed 3 seconds into the stall, and every 30 seconds
	thereafter.  It also now attempts to force quiescent states.

o	The algorithm uses pre-fabricated masks rather than shifting
	on each access.

o	Review comments have been applied (thank you all!!!).
	For but one example, call_rcu() and call_rcu_bh() are now
	one-liners.

o	The rcu_pending() and rcu_needs_cpu() primitives are now
	much more aggressive about permitting CPUs to enter dynticks
	idle mode.  Only CPUs that have RCU callbacks are kept out
	of dynticks idle mode.

Attached is an updated patch to Classic RCU that applies a
hierarchy, greatly reducing the contention on the top-level lock
for large machines.  This passes 10-hour concurrent rcutorture and
online-offline testing on 128-CPU ppc64.  It is OK for experimental
work assuming only modestly brave experimenters (and perhaps even
cowardly experiementers), but not yet ready for inclusion.  See also
Manfred Spraul's recent patches (or his earlier work from 2004 at
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=108546384711797&w=2).  We will
converge onto a common patch in the fullness of time, but are currently
exploring different regions of the design space.  That said, I have
already gratefully stolen a number of Manfred's ideas.

This patch provides CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT, which controls the bushiness
of the RCU hierarchy.  Defaults to 32 on 32-bit machines and 64 on
64-bit machines.  If CONFIG_NR_CPUS is less than CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT,
there is no hierarchy.  By default, the RCU initialization code will
adjust CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT to balance the hierarchy, so strongly NUMA
architectures may choose to set CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT to disable
this balancing, allowing the hierarchy to be exactly aligned to the
underlying hardware.  Up to two levels of hierarchy are permitted
(in addition to the root node), allowing up to 16,384 CPUs on 32-bit
systems and up to 262,144 CPUs on 64-bit systems.  I just know that I
am going to regret saying this, but this seems more than sufficient
for the foreseeable future.  (Some architectures might wish to set
CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=4, which would limit such architectures to 64 CPUs.
If this becomes a real problem, additional levels can be added, but I
doubt that it will make a significant difference on real hardware.)

In the common case, a given CPU will manipulate its private rcu_data
structure and the rcu_node structure that it shares with its immediate
neighbors.  This can reduce both lock and memory contention by multiple
orders of magnitude, which should eliminate the need for the strange
manipulations that are reported to be required when running Linux on
very large systems.

Some shortcomings:

o	Entering and leaving dynticks idle mode is a quiescent state,
	but the current patch doesn't take advantage of this (noted
	by Manfred).  It appears that it should be possible to make
	nmi_enter() and nmi_exit() provide an in_nmi(), which would make
	it possible for rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() to figure
	out whether it is safe to tell RCU about the quiescent state --
	and also greatly simplify the code.  However, a first attempt
	to hack this into existence failed, so will be taking a more
	measured approach.

o	There are a few places where grace periods are unnecessarily
	delayed.

o	There are probably hangs, rcutorture failures, &c.  In particular,
	the case where an interrupt from dynticks idle invokes call_rcu()
	requires a bit more thought.  And it requires NMIs to be sorted
	as noted above.

o	There are a few architectures that will sometimes execute irq
	handlers on CPUs that are already marked offline.  This is the
	subject of separate patches.  (Yes, you do have to have a very
	unlikely code construct hitting an unlikely sequence of events
	for anything bad to happen, but still needs to be fixed.)

o	Structure field layout is likely highly suboptimal.  On the other
	hand, given that the read-side primitives do not touch any of
	this data, this issue is not as pressing as it might otherwise be.

o	There is not yet a human-readable design document.  Will be fixed.

To build, start with 2.6.27-rc3, and apply:

Thoughts?
