Thie commit adds kernel boot parameters to the SRCU-N and SRCU-P
rcutorture scenarios to cause SRCU-N to test contention-based resizing
and SRCU-P to test init_srcu_struct()-time resizing. Note that this
also tests never-resizing because the contention-based resizing normally
takes some minutes to make the shift.

All of the uses of CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y that I have seen involve
systems with RCU callbacks offloaded. In this situation, all that this
Kconfig option does is slow down idle entry/exit with an additional
allways-taken early exit. If this is the only use case, then this
Kconfig option nothing but an attractive nuisance that needs to go away.
This commit therefore removes the RCU_FAST_NO_HZ Kconfig option.

With CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=y, the kernel builds with CONFIG_PREEMPTION=y

RCU's rcutree.use_softirq=0 kernel boot parameter substitutes the per-CPU
rcuc kthreads for softirq, which is used in real-time installations.

The SRCU-u scenario expects to enable lockdep but to also disable the

Currently, the CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y rcutorture TRACE01 rcutorture

A number of mainstream CPU families are no longer capable of building

Since commit 05f415715c ("rcu: Speed up expedited GPs when interrupting

boot parameter caused self-deadlocks, which can be reproduced using the
following command on an 8-CPU system:

In one of my rcutorture tests the TSC clocksource got marked unstable
due to a large difference in the TSC value. I'm not sure if the guest
run for a long time with disabled interrupts or if the host was very
busy and didn't schedule the guest for some time.
I took a look on the qemu/KVM options and decided to update the options:
- Use kvm{32|64} as CPU. We could probably use `host' (like ARM does)
for maximum available features but since we don't run any userland I'm
not sure if it makes any difference.
- Drop the "noapic" option. There is no history why the APIC was disabled,
I see no reason for it. Once old qemu versions fade away, we can add
"x2apic=on,tsc-deadline=on,hypervisor=on,tsc_adjust=on".
- Additional config options. It ensures that the kernel knowns that it
runs as a kvm guest and can use virt devices like the kvm-clock as
clocksource. The kvm-clock was the main motivation here.
- I didn't add a random HW device. It would make the random device ready
earlier (not it doesn't complete the initialisation at all) but I
doubt that there is any need for this.

I have been showing off a trivial RCU implementation for non-preemptive
environments for some time now:
#define rcu_read_lock()
#define rcu_read_unlock()
#define rcu_dereference(p) READ_ONCE(p)
#define rcu_assign_pointer(p, v) smp_store_release(&(p), (v))
void synchronize_rcu(void)
{
int cpu;
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
sched_setaffinity(current->pid, cpumask_of(cpu));
}
Trivial or not, as the old saying goes, "if it ain't tested, it don't
work!". This commit therefore adds a "trivial" flavor to rcutorture
and a corresponding TRIVIAL test scenario. This variant does not handle
CPU hotplug, which is unconditionally enabled on x86 for post-v5.1-rc3
kernels, which is why the TRIVIAL.boot says "rcutorture.onoff_interval=0".
This commit actually does handle CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels, but only
because it turns back the Linux-kernel clock in order to provide these
alternative definitions (or the moral equivalent thereof):
#define rcu_read_lock() preempt_disable()
#define rcu_read_unlock() preempt_enable()
In CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels without debugging, these are equivalent to
empty macros give or take a compiler barrier. However, the have been
successfully tested with actual empty macros as well.

Some RCU bugs have been sensitive to the frequency of CPU-hotplug
operations, which have been gradually increased over time. But this
frequency is now at the one-second lower limit that can be specified using
the rcutorture.onoff_interval kernel parameter. This commit therefore
changes the units of rcutorture.onoff_interval from seconds to jiffies,
and also sets the value specified for this kernel parameter in the TREE03
rcutorture scenario to 200, which is 200 milliseconds for HZ=1000.

The main race with the early part of grace-period initialization appears
to be with CPU hotplug. To more fully open this race window, this commit
moves the rcu_gp_slow() from the beginning of the early initialization
loop to follow that loop, thus widening the race window, especially for
the rcu_node structures that are initialized last. This commit also
expands rcutree.gp_preinit_delay from 3 to 12, giving the same overall
delay in the grace period, but concentrated in the spot where it will

Commit 6f1982fedd ("sched/isolation: Handle the nohz_full= parameter")
broke CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=y kernels. This breakage is due to the code
under CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL failing to invoke the shiny new housekeeping
functions. This means that rcutorture scenario TREE04 now emits RCU CPU
stall warnings due to the RCU grace-period kthreads not being awakened
at a time of their choosing, or perhaps even not at all:

Because no one has complained about CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=y being broken,
I hypothesize that no one is in fact using it, other than rcutorture.
This commit therefore eliminates CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL and updates
rcutorture's config files to instead use the nohz_full= kernel parameter
to put the desired CPUs into nohz_full mode.

The purpose of torture_runnable is to allow rcutorture and locktorture
to be started and stopped via sysfs when they are built into the kernel
(as in not compiled as loadable modules). However, the 0444 permissions
for both instances of torture_runnable prevent this use case from ever
being put into practice. Given that there have been no complaints
about this deficiency, it is reasonable to conclude that no one actually
makes use of this sysfs capability. The perf_runnable module parameter
for rcuperf is in the same situation.
This commit therefore removes both torture_runnable instances as well
as perf_runnable.

The maxcpus= kernel boot parameter limits the number of CPUs brought
online at boot time, but it does nothing to prevent additional CPUs
from being brought up later. Placing a hard cap on the total number
of CPUs is instead the job of the nr_cpus= boot parameter. This commit
therefore switches the configfrag_boot_cpus() shell function from maxcpus=
to nr_cpus=. This commit also adds a nr_cpus=43 kernel parameter to RCU's
TREE01 test scenario, but retains the maxcpus=8 kernel parameter in order
to test the ability of RCU expedited grace periods to handle new CPUs
coming online for the first time during grace-period initialization.
Finally, this commit makes the torture scheduling allow maxcpus= to
override other means of specifying the number of CPUs to allow for.
This last works because the torture kernel modules size their workloads
based on the number of CPUs present at the start of the test, not the
ultimate number of CPUs.

Strings used in event tracing need to be specially handled, for example,
being copied to the trace buffer instead of being pointed to by the trace
