sysrq,rcu: suppress RCU stall warnings while sysrq runs
Some sysrq handlers can run for a long time, because they dump a lot of
data onto a serial console. Having RCU stall warnings pop up in the
middle of them only makes the problem worse.
This patch temporarily disables RCU stall warnings while a sysrq request
is handled.

sysrq: rcu-ify __handle_sysrq
Echoing values into /proc/sysrq-trigger seems to be a popular way to get
information out of the kernel. However, dumping information about
thousands of processes, or hundreds of CPUs to serial console can result
in IRQs being blocked for minutes, resulting in various kinds of cascade
failures.
The most common failure is due to interrupts being blocked for a very long
time. This can lead to things like failed IO requests, and other things
the system cannot easily recover from.
This problem is easily fixable by making __handle_sysrq use RCU instead of
spin_lock_irqsave.
This leaves the warning that RCU grace periods have not elapsed for a long
time, but the system will come back from that automatically.
It also leaves sysrq-from-irq-context when the sysrq keys are pressed, but
that is probably desired since people want that to work in situations
where the system is already hosed.
The callers of register_sysrq_key and unregister_sysrq_key appear to be
capable of sleeping.

rwsem: Support optimistic spinning
We have reached the point where our mutexes are quite fine tuned for a
number of situations. This includes the use of heuristics and optimistic
spinning, based on MCS locking techniques.
Exclusive ownership of read-write semaphores are, conceptually, just about
the same as mutexes, making them close cousins. To this end we need to
make them both perform similarly, and right now, rwsems are simply not up
to it. This was discovered by both reverting commit 4fc3f1d6 (mm/rmap,
migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable)
and similarly, converting some other mutexes (ie: i_mmap_mutex) to rwsems.
This creates a situation where users have to choose between a rwsem and
mutex taking into account this important performance difference.
Specifically, biggest difference between both locks is when we fail to
acquire a mutex in the fastpath, optimistic spinning comes in to play and
we can avoid a large amount of unnecessary sleeping and overhead of moving
tasks in and out of wait queue. Rwsems do not have such logic.
This patch, based on the work from Tim Chen and I, adds support for
write-side optimistic spinning when the lock is contended. It also
includes support for the recently added cancelable MCS locking for
adaptive spinning. Note that is is only applicable to the xadd method,
and the spinlock rwsem variant remains intact.
Allowing optimistic spinning before putting the writer on the wait queue
reduces wait queue contention and provided greater chance for the rwsem to
get acquired. With these changes, rwsem is on par with mutex. The
performance benefits can be seen on a number of workloads. For instance,
on a 8 socket, 80 core 64bit Westmere box, aim7 shows the following
improvements in throughput:
There was also improvement on smaller systems, such as a quad-core x86-64
laptop running a 30Gb PostgreSQL (pgbench) workload for up to +60% in
throughput for over 50 clients. Additionally, benefits were also noticed
in exim (mail server) workloads. When comparing against regular
non-blocking rw locks ([q]rwlock_t), this change proves that it can
outperform them, for instance when studying the popular anon-vma lock:

kernel/watchdog.c: print traces for all cpus on lockup detection
A 'softlockup' is defined as a bug that causes the kernel to loop in
kernel mode for more than a predefined period to time, without giving
other tasks a chance to run.
Currently, upon detection of this condition by the per-cpu watchdog task,
debug information (including a stack trace) is sent to the system log.
On some occasions, we have observed that the "victim" rather than the
actual "culprit" (i.e. the owner/holder of the contended resource) is
reported to the user. Often this information has proven to be
insufficient to assist debugging efforts.
To avoid loss of useful debug information, for architectures which support
NMI, this patch makes it possible to improve soft lockup reporting. This
is accomplished by issuing an NMI to each cpu to obtain a stack trace.
If NMI is not supported we just revert back to the old method. A sysctl
and boot-time parameter is available to toggle this feature.
