rcu: Restore checks for blocking in RCU read-side critical sections
Long ago, using TREE_RCU with PREEMPT would result in "scheduling while atomic" diagnostics if you blocked in an RCU read-side critical section. However, PREEMPT now implies TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, which defeats this diagnostic. This commit therefore adds a replacement diagnostic based on PROVE_RCU. Because rcu_lockdep_assert() and lockdep_rcu_dereference() are now being used for things that have nothing to do with rcu_dereference(), rename lockdep_rcu_dereference() to lockdep_rcu_suspicious() and add a third argument that is a string indicating what is suspicious. This third argument is passed in from a new third argument to rcu_lockdep_assert(). Update all calls to rcu_lockdep_assert() to add an informative third argument. Also, add a pair of rcu_lockdep_assert() calls from within rcu_note_context_switch(), one complaining if a context switch occurs in an RCU-bh read-side critical section and another complaining if a context switch occurs in an RCU-sched read-side critical section. These are present only if the PROVE_RCU kernel parameter is enabled. Finally, fix some checkpatch whitespace complaints in lockdep.c. Again, you must enable PROVE_RCU to see these new diagnostics. But you are enabling PROVE_RCU to check out new RCU uses in any case, aren't you? Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
