rcutorture: Make rcutorture support print rcu-tasks gp state
This commit make rcu-tasks related rcutorture test support rcu-tasks
gp state printing when the writer stall occurs or the at the end of
rcutorture test, and generate rcu_ops->get_gp_data() operation to
simplify the acquisition of gp state for different types of rcutorture
tests.

srcu: Improve comments about acceleration leak
The comments added in commit 1ef990c4b36b ("srcu: No need to
advance/accelerate if no callback enqueued") are a bit confusing.
The comments are describing a scenario for code that was moved and is
no longer the way it was (snapshot after advancing). Improve the code
comments to reflect this and also document why acceleration can never
fail.

srcu: Explain why callbacks invocations can't run concurrently
If an SRCU barrier is queued while callbacks are running and a new
callbacks invocator for the same sdp were to run concurrently, the
RCU barrier might execute too early. As this requirement is non-obvious,
make sure to keep a record.

srcu: Remove superfluous callbacks advancing from srcu_gp_start()
Callbacks advancing on SRCU must be performed on two specific places:
1) On enqueue time in order to make room for the acceleration of the
new callback.
2) On invocation time in order to move the callbacks ready to invoke.
Any other callback advancing callsite is needless. Remove the remaining
one in srcu_gp_start().

srcu: Only accelerate on enqueue time
Acceleration in SRCU happens on enqueue time for each new callback. This
operation is expected not to fail and therefore any similar attempt
from other places shouldn't find any remaining callbacks to accelerate.
Moreover accelerations performed beyond enqueue time are error prone
because rcu_seq_snap() then may return the snapshot for a new grace
period that is not going to be started.
Remove these dangerous and needless accelerations and introduce instead
assertions reporting leaking unaccelerated callbacks beyond enqueue
time.

commit 4a8e65b0c348e42107c64381e692e282900be361
Author: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@kernel.org>
Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2023 01:28:59 +0200
srcu: Fix callbacks acceleration mishandling
SRCU callbacks acceleration might fail if the preceding callbacks
advance also fails. This can happen when the following steps are met:
1) The RCU_WAIT_TAIL segment has callbacks (say for gp_num 8) and the
RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL also has callbacks (say for gp_num 12).
2) The grace period for RCU_WAIT_TAIL is observed as started but not yet
completed so rcu_seq_current() returns 4 + SRCU_STATE_SCAN1 = 5.
3) This value is passed to rcu_segcblist_advance() which can't move
any segment forward and fails.
4) srcu_gp_start_if_needed() still proceeds with callback acceleration.
But then the call to rcu_seq_snap() observes the grace period for the
RCU_WAIT_TAIL segment (gp_num 8) as completed and the subsequent one
for the RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL segment as started
(ie: 8 + SRCU_STATE_SCAN1 = 9) so it returns a snapshot of the
next grace period, which is 16.
5) The value of 16 is passed to rcu_segcblist_accelerate() but the
freshly enqueued callback in RCU_NEXT_TAIL can't move to
RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL which already has callbacks for a previous grace
period (gp_num = 12). So acceleration fails.
6) Note in all these steps, srcu_invoke_callbacks() hadn't had a chance
to run srcu_invoke_callbacks().
Then some very bad outcome may happen if the following happens:
7) Some other CPU races and starts the grace period number 16 before the
CPU handling previous steps had a chance. Therefore srcu_gp_start()
isn't called on the latter sdp to fix the acceleration leak from
previous steps with a new pair of call to advance/accelerate.
8) The grace period 16 completes and srcu_invoke_callbacks() is finally
called. All the callbacks from previous grace periods (8 and 12) are
correctly advanced and executed but callbacks in RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL
still remain. Then rcu_segcblist_accelerate() is called with a
snaphot of 20.
9) Since nothing started the grace period number 20, callbacks stay
unhandled.

Fix this with taking the snapshot for acceleration _before_ the read
of the current grace period number.
The only side effect of this solution is that callbacks advancing happen
then _after_ the full barrier in rcu_seq_snap(). This is not a problem
because that barrier only cares about:
1) Ordering accesses of the update side before call_srcu() so they don't
bleed.
2) See all the accesses prior to the grace period of the current gp_num
The only things callbacks advancing need to be ordered against are
carried by snp locking.

srcu: Fix srcu_struct node grpmask overflow on 64-bit systems
The value of a bitwise expression 1 << (cpu - sdp->mynode->grplo)
is subject to overflow due to a failure to cast operands to a larger
data type before performing the bitwise operation.
The maximum result of this subtraction is defined by the RCU_FANOUT_LEAF
Kconfig option, which on 64-bit systems defaults to 16 (resulting in a
maximum shift of 15), but which can be set up as high as 64 (resulting
in a maximum shift of 63). A value of 31 can result in sign extension,
resulting in 0xffffffff80000000 instead of the desired 0x80000000.
A value of 32 or greater triggers undefined behavior per the C standard.
This bug has not been known to cause issues because almost all kernels
take the default CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF=16. Furthermore, as long as a
given compiler gives a deterministic non-zero result for 1<<N for N>=32,
the code correctly invokes all SRCU callbacks, albeit wasting CPU time
along the way.
This commit therefore substitutes the correct 1UL for the buggy 1.

rcu: Dump memory object info if callback function is invalid
When a structure containing an RCU callback rhp is (incorrectly) freed
and reallocated after rhp is passed to call_rcu(), it is not unusual for
rhp->func to be set to NULL. This defeats the debugging prints used by
__call_rcu_common() in kernels built with CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y,
which expect to identify the offending code using the identity of this
function.
And in kernels build without CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y, things
are even worse, as can be seen from this splat:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0
... ...
PC is at 0x0
LR is at rcu_do_batch+0x1c0/0x3b8
... ...
(rcu_do_batch) from (rcu_core+0x1d4/0x284)
(rcu_core) from (__do_softirq+0x24c/0x344)
(__do_softirq) from (__irq_exit_rcu+0x64/0x108)
(__irq_exit_rcu) from (irq_exit+0x8/0x10)
(irq_exit) from (__handle_domain_irq+0x74/0x9c)
(__handle_domain_irq) from (gic_handle_irq+0x8c/0x98)
(gic_handle_irq) from (__irq_svc+0x5c/0x94)

(arch_cpu_idle) from (default_idle_call+0x4c/0x78)
(default_idle_call) from (do_idle+0xf8/0x150)
(do_idle) from (cpu_startup_entry+0x18/0x20)
(cpu_startup_entry) from (0xc01530)
This commit therefore adds calls to mem_dump_obj(rhp) to output some
information, for example:
slab kmalloc-256 start ffff410c45019900 pointer offset 0 size 256
This provides the rough size of the memory block and the offset of the
rcu_head structure, which as least provides at least a few clues to help
locate the problem. If the problem is reproducible, additional slab
debugging can be enabled, for example, CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y, which can
provide significantly more information.

srcu: Fix error handling in init_srcu_struct_fields()
The current error handling in init_srcu_struct_fields() is a bit
inconsistent. If init_srcu_struct_nodes() fails, the function either
returns -ENOMEM or 0 depending on whether ssp->sda_is_static is true or
false. This can make init_srcu_struct_fields() return 0 even if memory
allocation failed!
Simplify the error handling by always returning -ENOMEM if either
init_srcu_struct_nodes() or the per-CPU allocation fails. This makes the
control flow easier to follow and avoids the inconsistent return values.
Add goto labels to avoid duplicating the error cleanup code.

srcu: Clarify comments on memory barrier "E"
There is an smp_mb() named "E" in srcu_flip() immediately before the
increment (flip) of the srcu_struct structure's ->srcu_idx.
The purpose of E is to order the preceding scan's read of lock counters
against the flipping of the ->srcu_idx, in order to prevent new readers
from continuing to use the old ->srcu_idx value, which might needlessly
extend the grace period.
However, this ordering is already enforced because of the control
dependency between the preceding scan and the ->srcu_idx flip.
This control dependency exists because atomic_long_read() is used
to scan the counts, because WRITE_ONCE() is used to flip ->srcu_idx,
and because ->srcu_idx is not flipped until the ->srcu_lock_count[] and
->srcu_unlock_count[] counts match. And such a match cannot happen when
there is an in-flight reader that started before the flip (observation
courtesy Mathieu Desnoyers).
The litmus test below (courtesy of Frederic Weisbecker, with changes
for ctrldep by Boqun and Joel) shows this:
C srcu
(*
* bad condition: P0's first scan (SCAN1) saw P1's idx=0 LOCK count inc, though P1 saw flip.
*
* So basically, the ->po ordering on both P0 and P1 is enforced via ->ppo
* (control deps) on both sides, and both P0 and P1 are interconnected by ->rf
* relations. Combining the ->ppo with ->rf, a cycle is impossible.
*)
{}
// updater
P0(int *IDX, int *LOCK0, int *UNLOCK0, int *LOCK1, int *UNLOCK1)
{
int lock1;
int unlock1;
int lock0;
int unlock0;
// SCAN1
unlock1 = READ_ONCE(*UNLOCK1);
smp_mb(); // A
lock1 = READ_ONCE(*LOCK1);
// FLIP
if (lock1 == unlock1) { // Control dep
smp_mb(); // E // Remove E and still passes.
WRITE_ONCE(*IDX, 1);
smp_mb(); // D
// SCAN2
unlock0 = READ_ONCE(*UNLOCK0);
smp_mb(); // A
lock0 = READ_ONCE(*LOCK0);
}
}
// reader
P1(int *IDX, int *LOCK0, int *UNLOCK0, int *LOCK1, int *UNLOCK1)
{
int tmp;
int idx1;
int idx2;
// 1st reader
idx1 = READ_ONCE(*IDX);
if (idx1 == 0) { // Control dep
tmp = READ_ONCE(*LOCK0);
WRITE_ONCE(*LOCK0, tmp + 1);
smp_mb(); /* B and C */
tmp = READ_ONCE(*UNLOCK0);
WRITE_ONCE(*UNLOCK0, tmp + 1);
} else {
tmp = READ_ONCE(*LOCK1);
WRITE_ONCE(*LOCK1, tmp + 1);
smp_mb(); /* B and C */
tmp = READ_ONCE(*UNLOCK1);
WRITE_ONCE(*UNLOCK1, tmp + 1);
}
}
exists (0:lock1=1 /\ 1:idx1=1)
More complicated litmus tests with multiple SRCU readers also show that
memory barrier E is not needed.
This commit therefore clarifies the comment on memory barrier E.
Why not also remove that redundant smp_mb()?
Because control dependencies are quite fragile due to their not being
recognized by most compilers and tools. Control dependencies therefore
exact an ongoing maintenance burden, and such a burden cannot be justified
in this slowpath. Therefore, that smp_mb() stays until such time as
its overhead becomes a measurable problem in a real workload running on
a real production system, or until such time as compilers start paying
attention to this sort of control dependency.

srcu: Check for readers at module-exit time
If a given statically allocated in-module srcu_struct structure was ever
used for updates, srcu_module_going() will invoke cleanup_srcu_struct()
at module-exit time. This will check for the error case of SRCU readers
persisting past module-exit time. On the other hand, if this srcu_struct
structure never went through a grace period, srcu_module_going() only
invokes free_percpu(), which would result in strange failures if SRCU
readers persisted past module-exit time.
This commit therefore adds a srcu_readers_active() check to
srcu_module_going(), splatting if readers have persisted and refraining
from invoking free_percpu() in that case. Better to leak memory than
to suffer silent memory corruption!

srcu: Move work-scheduling fields from srcu_struct to srcu_usage
This commit moves the ->reschedule_jiffies, ->reschedule_count, and
->work fields from the srcu_struct structure to the srcu_usage structure
to reduce the size of the former in order to improve cache locality.
However, this means that the container_of() calls cannot get a pointer
to the srcu_struct because they are no longer in the srcu_struct.
This issue is addressed by adding a ->srcu_ssp field in the srcu_usage
structure that references the corresponding srcu_struct structure.
And given the presence of the sup pointer to the srcu_usage structure,
replace some ssp->srcu_usage-> instances with sup->.

srcu: Begin offloading srcu_struct fields to srcu_update
The current srcu_struct structure is on the order of 200 bytes in size
(depending on architecture and .config), which is much better than the
old-style 26K bytes, but still all too inconvenient when one is trying
to achieve good cache locality on a fastpath involving SRCU readers.
However, only a few fields in srcu_struct are used by SRCU readers.
The remaining fields could be offloaded to a new srcu_update
structure, thus shrinking the srcu_struct structure down to a few
tens of bytes. This commit begins this noble quest, a quest that is
complicated by open-coded initialization of the srcu_struct within the
srcu_notifier_head structure. This complication is addressed by updating
the srcu_notifier_head structure's open coding, given that there does
not appear to be a straightforward way of abstracting that initialization.
This commit moves only the ->node pointer to srcu_update. Later commits
will move additional fields.

srcu: Use static init for statically allocated in-module srcu_struct
Further shrinking the srcu_struct structure is eased by requiring
that in-module srcu_struct structures rely more heavily on static
initialization. In particular, this preserves the property that
a module-load-time srcu_struct initialization can fail only due
to memory-allocation failure of the per-CPU srcu_data structures.
It might also slightly improve robustness by keeping the number of memory
allocations that must succeed down percpu_alloc() call.
This is in preparation for splitting an srcu_usage structure out
of the srcu_struct structure.

rcu: Annotate SRCU's update-side lockdep dependencies
Although all flavors of RCU readers are annotated correctly with
lockdep as recursive read locks, they do not set the lock_acquire
'check' parameter. This means that RCU read locks are not added to
the lockdep dependency graph, which in turn means that lockdep cannot
detect RCU-based deadlocks. This is not a problem for RCU flavors having
atomic read-side critical sections because context-based annotations can
catch these deadlocks, see for example the RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() statement
in synchronize_rcu(). But context-based annotations are not helpful
for sleepable RCU, especially given that it is perfectly legal to do
synchronize_srcu(&srcu1) within an srcu_read_lock(&srcu2).
However, we can detect SRCU-based by: (1) Making srcu_read_lock() a
'check'ed recursive read lock and (2) Making synchronize_srcu() a empty
write lock critical section. Even better, with the newly introduced
lock_sync(), we can avoid false positives about irq-unsafe/safe.
This commit therefore makes it so.
Note that NMI-safe SRCU read side critical sections are currently not
annotated, but might be annotated in the future.

srcu: Update comment after the index flip
Because there is not guaranteed to be a full memory barrier between
the ->srcu_unlock_count increment of an srcu_read_unlock() and the
->srcu_lock_count increment of the next srcu_read_lock(), this next
srcu_read_lock() is not guaranteed to see the effect of the index flip
just prior to this comment. However, this next srcu_read_lock() will
execute a full memory barrier, so the srcu_read_lock() after that is
guaranteed to see that index flip.
This guarantee is illustrated by the following diagram of events and
the litmus test following that.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
READER UPDATER
------------- ----------
// idx is initially 0.
srcu_flip() {
smp_mb();
// RSCS
srcu_read_unlock() {
smp_mb();
idx++; // P
smp_mb(); // QQ
}
srcu_readers_unlock_idx(0) {
,--counted------------ count all unlock[0]; // Q
|
unlock[0]++; // X
}
smp_mb();
srcu_read_lock() {
READ(idx) = 0; ,---- count all lock[0]; // contributes imbalance of 1.
lock[0]++; ----counted |
smp_mb(); // PP } |
} |
|
// RSCS not going to effect above scan
|
srcu_read_unlock() { |
smp_mb(); |
unlock[0]++; |
} |
/
/
srcu_read_lock() { |
READ(idx); // Y -----cannot be counted because of P (has to sample idx as 1)
lock[1]++;
...
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This makes it similar to the store buffer pattern. Using X, Y, P and Q
annotated above, we get:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
READER UPDATER
X (write) P (write)
smp_mb(); //PP smp_mb(); //QQ
Y (read) Q (read)

srcu: Yet more detail for srcu_readers_active_idx_check() comments
The comment in srcu_readers_active_idx_check() following the smp_mb()
is out of date, hailing from a simpler time when preemption was disabled
across the bulk of __srcu_read_lock(). The fact that preemption was
disabled meant that the number of tasks that had fetched the old index
but not yet incremented counters was limited by the number of CPUs.
In our more complex modern times, the number of CPUs is no longer a limit.
This commit therefore updates this comment, additionally giving more
memory-ordering detail.

srcu: Remove needless rcu_seq_done() check while holding read lock
The srcu_gp_start_if_needed() function now read-holds the srcu_struct
whose grace period is being started, which means that the corresponding
SRCU grace period cannot end. This in turn means that the SRCU
grace-period sequence number returned by rcu_seq_snap() cannot expire
during this time. And that means that the calls to rcu_seq_done() in
srcu_funnel_exp_start() and srcu_funnel_gp_start() can never return true.
This commit therefore removes these rcu_seq_done() checks, but adds checks
in kernels built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y that splats if rcu_seq_done()
does somehow return true.

srcu: Fix the comparision in srcu_invl_snp_seq()
A grace-period sequence number contains two fields: counter and
state. SRCU_SNP_INIT_SEQ provides a guaranteed invalid value for
grace-period sequence numbers in newly allocated srcu_node structures'
->srcu_have_cbs[] and ->srcu_gp_seq_needed_exp fields. The point of the
comparison in srcu_invl_snp_seq() is not to detect invalid grace-period
sequence numbers in general, but rather to detect a newly allocated
srcu_node structure whose ->srcu_have_cbs[] and ->srcu_gp_seq_needed_exp
fields need to be brought into line with the srcu_struct structure's
->srcu_gp_seq field.
This commit therefore causes srcu_invl_snp_seq() to compare both fields
of the specified grace-period sequence number.

srcu: Warn when NMI-unsafe API is used in NMI
Using the NMI-unsafe reader API from within an NMI handler is very likely
to be buggy for three reasons:
1) NMIs aren't strictly re-entrant (a pending nested NMI will execute at
the end of the current one) so it should be fine to use a non-atomic
increment here. However, breakpoints can still interrupt NMIs and if
a breakpoint callback has a reader on that same ssp, a racy increment
can happen.
2) If the only reader site for a given srcu_struct structure is in an
NMI handler, then RCU should be used instead of SRCU.
3) Because of the previous reason (2), an srcu_struct structure having
an SRCU read side critical section in an NMI handler is likely to
have another one from a task context.
For all these reasons, warn if an NMI-unsafe reader API is used from an
NMI handler.

srcu: Check for consistent global per-srcu_struct NMI safety
This commit adds runtime checks to verify that a given srcu_struct uses
consistent NMI-safe (or not) read-side primitives globally, but based
on the per-CPU data. These global checks are made by the grace-period
code that must scan the srcu_data structures anyway, and are done only
in kernels built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y.

srcu: Create an srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() and srcu_read_unlock_nmisafe()
On strict load-store architectures, the use of this_cpu_inc() by
srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock() is not NMI-safe in TREE SRCU.
To see this suppose that an NMI arrives in the middle of srcu_read_lock(),
just after it has read ->srcu_lock_count, but before it has written
the incremented value back to memory. If that NMI handler also does
srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_lock() on that same srcu_struct structure,
then upon return from that NMI handler, the interrupted srcu_read_lock()
will overwrite the NMI handler's update to ->srcu_lock_count, but
leave unchanged the NMI handler's update by srcu_read_unlock() to
->srcu_unlock_count.
This can result in a too-short SRCU grace period, which can in turn
result in arbitrary memory corruption.
If the NMI handler instead interrupts the srcu_read_unlock(), this
can result in eternal SRCU grace periods, which is not much better.
This commit therefore creates a pair of new srcu_read_lock_nmisafe()
and srcu_read_unlock_nmisafe() functions, which allow SRCU readers in
both NMI handlers and in process and IRQ context. It is bad practice
to mix the existing and the new _nmisafe() primitives on the same
srcu_struct structure. Use one set or the other, not both.
Just to underline that "bad practice" point, using srcu_read_lock() at
process level and srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() in your NMI handler will not,
repeat NOT, work. If you do not immediately understand why this is the
case, please review the earlier paragraphs in this commit log.

srcu: Make expedited RCU grace periods block even less frequently
The purpose of commit 282d8998e997 ("srcu: Prevent expedited GPs
and blocking readers from consuming CPU") was to prevent a long
series of never-blocking expedited SRCU grace periods from blocking
kernel-live-patching (KLP) progress. Although it was successful, it also
resulted in excessive boot times on certain embedded workloads running
under qemu with the "-bios QEMU_EFI.fd" command line. Here "excessive"
means increasing the boot time up into the three-to-four minute range.
This increase in boot time was due to the more than 6000 back-to-back
invocations of synchronize_rcu_expedited() within the KVM host OS, which
in turn resulted from qemu's emulation of a long series of MMIO accesses.
Commit 640a7d37c3f4 ("srcu: Block less aggressively for expedited grace
periods") did not significantly help this particular use case.
Zhangfei Gao and Shameerali Kolothum Thodi did experiments varying the
value of SRCU_MAX_NODELAY_PHASE with HZ=250 and with various values
of non-sleeping per phase counts on a system with preemption enabled,
and observed the following boot times:
+──────────────────────────+────────────────+
| SRCU_MAX_NODELAY_PHASE | Boot time (s) |
+──────────────────────────+────────────────+
| 100 | 30.053 |
| 150 | 25.151 |
| 200 | 20.704 |
| 250 | 15.748 |
| 500 | 11.401 |
| 1000 | 11.443 |
| 10000 | 11.258 |
| 1000000 | 11.154 |
+──────────────────────────+────────────────+
Analysis on the experiment results show additional improvements with
CPU-bound delays approaching one jiffy in duration. This improvement was
also seen when number of per-phase iterations were scaled to one jiffy.
This commit therefore scales per-grace-period phase number of non-sleeping
polls so that non-sleeping polls extend for about one jiffy. In addition,
the delay-calculation call to srcu_get_delay() in srcu_gp_end() is
replaced with a simple check for an expedited grace period. This change
schedules callback invocation immediately after expedited grace periods
complete, which results in greatly improved boot times. Testing done
by Marc and Zhangfei confirms that this change recovers most of the
performance degradation in boottime; for CONFIG_HZ_250 configuration,
specifically, boot times improve from 3m50s to 41s on Marc's setup;
and from 2m40s to ~9.7s on Zhangfei's setup.
In addition to the changes to default per phase delays, this
change adds 3 new kernel parameters - srcutree.srcu_max_nodelay,
srcutree.srcu_max_nodelay_phase, and srcutree.srcu_retry_check_delay.
This allows users to configure the srcu grace period scanning delays in
order to more quickly react to additional use cases.

srcu: Block less aggressively for expedited grace periods
Commit 282d8998e997 ("srcu: Prevent expedited GPs and blocking readers
from consuming CPU") fixed a problem where a long-running expedited SRCU
grace period could block kernel live patching. It did so by giving up
on expediting once a given SRCU expedited grace period grew too old.
Unfortunately, this added excessive delays to boots of virtual embedded
systems specifying "-bios QEMU_EFI.fd" to qemu. This commit therefore
makes the transition away from expediting less aggressive, increasing
the per-grace-period phase number of non-sleeping polls of readers from
one to three and increasing the required grace-period age from one jiffy
(actually from zero to one jiffies) to two jiffies (actually from one
to two jiffies).

srcu: Drop needless initialization of sdp in srcu_gp_start()
Commit 9c7ef4c30f12 ("srcu: Make Tree SRCU able to operate without
snp_node array") initializes the local variable sdp differently depending
on the srcu's state in srcu_gp_start(). Either way, this initialization
overwrites the value used when sdp is defined.
This commit therefore drops this pointless definition-time initialization.
Although there is no functional change, compiler code generation may
be affected.

srcu: Prevent expedited GPs and blocking readers from consuming CPU
If an SRCU reader blocks while a synchronize_srcu_expedited() waits for
that same reader, then that grace period will spawn an endless series of
workqueue handlers, consuming a full CPU. This quickly gets pointless
because consuming more CPU isn't going to make that reader get done
faster, especially if it is blocked waiting for an external event.
This commit therefore spawns at most one pair of back-to-back workqueue
handlers per expedited grace period phase, instead inserting increasing
delays as that grace period phase grows older, but capped at 10 jiffies.
In any case, if there have been at least 100 back-to-back workqueue
handlers within a single jiffy, regardless of grace period or grace-period
phase, then a one-jiffy delay is inserted.

srcu: Add contention-triggered addition of srcu_node tree
This commit instruments the acquisitions of the srcu_struct structure's
->lock, enabling the initiation of a transition from SRCU_SIZE_SMALL
to SRCU_SIZE_BIG when sufficient contention is experienced. The
instrumentation counts the number of trylock failures within the confines
of a single jiffy. If that number exceeds the value specified by the
srcutree.small_contention_lim kernel boot parameter (which defaults to
100), and if the value specified by the srcutree.convert_to_big kernel
boot parameter has the 0x10 bit set (defaults to 0), then a transition
will be automatically initiated.
By default, there will never be any transitions, so that none of the
srcu_struct structures ever gains an srcu_node array.
The useful values for srcutree.convert_to_big are:
0x00: Never convert.
0x01: Always convert at init_srcu_struct() time.
0x02: Convert when rcutorture prints its first round of statistics.
0x03: Decide conversion approach at boot given system size.
0x10: Convert if contention is encountered.
0x12: Convert if contention is encountered or when rcutorture prints
its first round of statistics, whichever comes first.
The value 0x11 acts the same as 0x01 because the conversion happens
before there is any chance of contention.
