Well, if the https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9504277/ patch from Lv
worked, the attached one should work too (please test), but it can be
justified in a slightly more convincing way.

Namely, the idea is that acpi_os_read/write_memory() should never be
used before invoking acpi_os_initialize() and since those are the only
places where the list of memory regions is walked under RCU without
extra locking, it is safe to skip the RCU synchronization until that
happens.

Thanks,
Rafael

Makes sense to me!

It looks like I can make the grace-period-free boot-time window
for CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels quite a bit narrower, but it does not
look like something suitable for jamming into 4.10.

OK, we can have this fixed in ACPI layer first.

Definitely.

I have the RCU changes written in ink on paper and they definitely are
-not- something that goes into 4.10.  4.11 at the earliest, and if no
one asks for it in 4.11, it goes into 4.12.  Serious testing needed.  ;-)

Btw, we have more breakage from RCU expedited using workqueues:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192111

I've added you to CC but let me have other bug reporters confirm reverting

  8b355e3bc140 ("rcu: Drive expedited grace periods from workqueue")

does fix the issue for them too.

Thanks.

Yes, you could make RCU expedited grace periods go back to using the
requesting task, and that would allow expedited grace periods to run early
in the boot process.  But that causes problems with signals and the like
unless you revert a few other patches.  The bugzilla is interesting --
it looks like ACPI was in some cases doing early-boot grace-period waits
some time back?

I have a limping prototype RCU patch that should avoid this problem.

If all goes well, I will send it out late tomorrow evening, Pacific Time.

I think this and https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1017783 is an
example of a bunch of toshiba schlaptops which cause the issue. So it
looks like ACPI is doing something very early on those which tickles the
issue to happen.

But this is ACPI - anything can happen!

Attach it to the bugzilla too, pls, because the people there trigger the
issue.

I have the respective(?) SUSE bug and I can ask people there to run it
too.

Lv's version which set the bool in acpi_os_map_generic_address() did

Well, it would if nothing mapped by acpi_os_map_generic_address() was
in the memory address space, for example, but then it would never use
the RCU synchronization as well (not good).

Basically, we need to find a point during the initialization such that
acpi_os_read/write_memory() is not invoked earlier and set a flag in
there.

Let's try the attached one.

BTW, I'm going to travel to the LCA starting tomorrow, so I guess I
will be a bit unresponsive during the next few days.

Thanks,
Rafael

Yeah, the call to wait_for_completion() at the beginning of
kernel_init_freeable() makes me extremely nervous.  Even if it does
happen to work, this looks like an accident waiting to happen.

Is it possible to instead move the ACPI initialization to follow the
workqueue initialization?

In the particular AMD IOMMU case it doesn't look like we are, but we
do in other cases.

It may be easier to make the caller avoid RCU synchronization
altogether if that's not necessary and the caller should actually be
able to figure out when that's the case.

The patch from Lv at https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9504277/ goes
in the right direction IMO, but I'm not yet convinced that this is the
right one.

From the RCU end, I could force expedited grace periods to translate to
normal grace periods during that window of time, and then make sure that
RCU's grace-period kthreads are spawned beforehand.  Looking into this...

Hmm, I think this problem has its history.
In APEI code, NMI handlers cannot utilize spinlock.
So the developers there used RCU to synchronize NMI handlers before the register region is unmapped.
At that time, there might not be pre-map/post-unmap code prepared in the APEI drivers.
So the APEI developers relied on map/unmap logics implemented in the ACPICA register read/write APIs where the OSL map/unmap is invoked.

That's why the RCU code is in acpi_os_xxx().
If:
1. there is map/unmap/read/write operations available for APEI developers to invoke;
2. RCU synchronization is invoked before invoking the last unmap operation;
3. map/unmap/read/write order is strictly ensured inside of the APEI drivers.
Then we can remove RCU stuffs from acpi_os_xxx.
And the root cause of this issue can be fixed.

I'm not sure if this approach is possible, but can give it a try.
Before that I think all such acpi_put_table() should just be commented out.
