sched,rcu: Make cond_resched() report RCU quiescent states
Given a CPU running a loop containing cond_resched(), with no other tasks runnable on that CPU, RCU will eventually report RCU CPU stall warnings due to lack of quiescent states. Fortunately, every call to cond_resched() is a perfectly good quiescent state. Unfortunately, invoking rcu_note_context_switch() is a bit heavyweight for cond_resched(), especially given the need to disable preemption, and, for RCU-preempt, interrupts as well. This commit therefore maintains a per-CPU counter that causes cond_resched(), cond_resched_lock(), and cond_resched_softirq() to call rcu_note_context_switch(), but only about once per 256 invocations. This ratio was chosen in keeping with the relative time constants of RCU grace periods. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>
