There's no need to keep checking the same starting node for whether a
grace period is in progress as we advance up the funnel lock loop. Its
sufficient if we just checked it in the start, and then subsequently
checked the internal nodes as we advanced up the combining tree. This
also makes sense because the grace-period updates propogate from the
root to the leaf, so there's a chance we may find a grace period has
started as we advance up, lets check for the same.

The funnel locking loop in rcu_start_this_gp uses rcu_root as a
temporary variable while walking the combining tree. This causes a
tiresome exercise of a code reader reminding themselves that rcu_root
may not be root. Lets just call it rnp, and rename other variables as
well to be more appropriate.

The name 'c' is used for variables and parameters holding the requested
grace-period sequence number.  However it is no longer very meaningful
given the conversions from ->gpnum and (especially) ->completed to
->gp_seq. This commit therefore renames 'c' to 'gp_seq_req'.

The rcu_data structure's ->gpwrap indicator is currently reset only
when the CPU in question detects a new grace period.  This is in theory
sufficient because any CPU that has been out of action for long enough
that its ->gpwrap indicator is set is guaranteed to see both the end
of an old grace period and the start of a new one.

However, the current code leaves a short window during which the ->gpwrap
indicator has been reset but the corresponding ->gp_seq counter has not
yet been brought up to date.  This is harmless because interrupts are
disabled, but it is likely to (at the very least) cause confusion.

This commit therefore moves the resetting of ->gpwrap to follow the
updating of ->gp_seq.  While in the area, it also resets ->gp_seq_needed.

The new ->gq_seq grace-period sequence numbers must be shifted down,
which give artifacts when these numbers wrap.  This commit therefore
enables rcutorture and rcuperf to handle grace-period sequence numbers
even if they do wrap.  It does this by allowing a special subtraction
function to be specified, and this function subtracts before shifting.

In the old days of ->gpnum and ->completed, the code requesting a new
grace period checked to see if that grace period had already started,
bailing early if so.  The new-age ->gp_seq approach instead checks
whether the grace period has already finished.  A compensating change
pushed the requested grace period down to the bottom of the tree, thus
reducing lock contention and even eliminating it in some cases.  But why
not further reduce contention, especially on large systems, by doing both,
especially given that the cost of doing both is extremely small?

This commit therefore adds a new rcu_seq_started() function that checks
whether a specified grace period has already started.  It then uses
this new function in place of rcu_seq_done() in the rcu_start_this_gp()
function's funnel locking code.

The "cpustart" trace event shows a stale gp_seq. This is because it uses
rdp->gp_seq, which is updated only at the end of the __note_gp_changes()
function. This commit therefore instead uses rnp->gp_seq.

An alternative fix would be to update rdp->gp_seq earlier, but this would
break RCU's detection of the beginning of a new-to-this-CPU grace period.

Currently Tree RCU's clean-up code emits a "CleanupMore" trace event in
response to late-arriving grace-period requests even if the grace period
was already requested. This makes "CleanupMore" show up an extra time (in
addition to once for each rcu_node structure that was previously marked
with the request), and for no good reason.  This commit therefore avoids
emitting this trace message unless the the only request for this next
grace period arrived during or after the cleanup scan of the rcu_node
structures.

The old grace-period start code would acquire only the leaf's rcu_node
structure's ->lock if that structure believed that a grace period was
in progress.  The new code advances to the leaf's parent in this case,
needlessly acquiring then leaf's parent's ->lock.  This commit therefore
checks the grace-period state after marking the leaf with the need for
the specified grace period, and if the leaf believes that a grace period
is in progress, takes an early exit.

[ paulmck: Move lock release past "if" as suggested by Joel Fernandes. ]
[ paulmck: Fix caching of furthest-future requested grace period. ]

One problem with the ->need_future_gp[] array is that the grace-period
assignment of each element changes as the grace periods complete.
This means that it is necessary to hold a lock when checking this
array to learn if a given grace period has already been requested.
This increase lock contention, which is the opposite of helpful.
This commit therefore replaces the ->need_future_gp[] with a single
->gp_seq_needed value and keeps it updated in the rcu_data structure.

This will enable reliable lockless checking of whether or not a given
grace period has already been requested.

This commit converts the grace-period request code paths from ->completed
and ->gpnum to ->gp_seq.  The need_future_gp_element() macro encapsulates
the shift operation required to use ->gp_seq as an index to the
->need_future_gp[] array.  The rcu_cbs_completed() function is removed
in favor of the rcu_seq_snap() function.  The rcu_start_this_gp()
gets some temporary consistency checks and uses rcu_seq_done(),
rcu_seq_current(), rcu_seq_state(), and rcu_gp_in_progress() in place
of the earlier open-coded comparisons of ->gpnum and ->completed.
The rcu_future_gp_cleanup() function replaces use of ->completed
with ->gp_seq.  The rcu_accelerate_cbs() function replaces a call to
rcu_cbs_completed() with one to rcu_seq_snap().  The rcu_advance_cbs()
function replaces an access to >completed with one to ->gp_seq and adds
some temporary warnings.  The rcu_nocb_wait_gp() function replaces a
call to rcu_cbs_completed() with one to rcu_seq_snap() and an open-coded
comparison with rcu_seq_done().

The temporary warnings will be removed when the various ->gpnum and
->completed fields are removed.  Their purpose is to locate code who
might still be using ->gpnum and ->completed.  (Much easier that way
than trying to trace down the causes of too-short grace periods and
grace-period hangs!)

This commit converts get_state_synchronize_rcu(), cond_synchronize_rcu(),

memory barrier in the already-done paths off cond_synchronize_rcu() and
cond_synchronize_sched(), as work with LKMM indicates that the earlier
smp_load_acquire() were insufficiently strong in some situations where
these two functions were called just as the grace period ended.  In such
cases, these two functions would not gain the benefit of memory ordering
at the end of the grace period.

Please note that the performance impact is negligible, as you shouldn't
