[PATCH v5 00/18] Implement call_rcu_lazy() and miscellaneous fixes

From: Joel Fernandes (Google)
Date: Thu Sep 01 2022 - 18:18:04 EST


Here is v5 of call_rcu_lazy() based on the latest RCU -dev branch. Main changes are:
- moved length field into rcu_data (Frederic suggestion)
- added new traces to aid debugging and testing.
- the new trace patch (along with the rcuscale and rcutorture tests)
gives confidence that the patches work well. Also it is tested on
real ChromeOS hardware and the boot time is looking good even though
lazy callbacks are being queued (i.e. the lazy ones do not effect the
synchronous non-lazy ones that effect boot time)
- rewrote some parts of the core patch.
- for rcutop, please apply the diff in the following link to the BCC repo:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/Yn+79v4q+1c9lXdc@xxxxxxxxxx
Then, cd libbpf-tools/ and run make to build the rcutop static binary.
(If you need an x86 binary, ping me and I'll email you).
In the future, I will attempt to make rcutop built within the kernel repo.
This is already done for another tool (see tools/bpf/runqslower) so is doable.

The 2 mm patches are what Vlastimil pulled into slab-next. I included them in
this series so that the tracing patch builds.

Previous series was posted here:

Linked below [1] is some power data I collected with Turbostat on an x86
ChromeOS ADL machine. The numbers are not based on -next, but rather 5.19
kernel as that's what booted on my ChromeOS machine).

These are output by Turbostat, by running:
turbostat -S -s PkgWatt,CorWatt --interval 5
PkgWatt - summary of package power in Watts 5 second interval.
CoreWatt - summary of core power in Watts 5 second interval.
