Currently, if an NMI does a dump of a ring buffer, it disables
all ring buffers from ever doing any writes again. This is because
it wont take the locks for the cpu_buffer and this can cause
corruption if it preempted a read, or a read happens on another
CPU for the current cpu buffer. This is a bit overkill.
First, it should at least try to take the lock, and if it fails
then disable it. Also, there's no need to disable all ring
buffers, even those that are unrelated to what is being read.
Only disable the per cpu ring buffer that is being read if
it can not get the lock for it.

There's no need to require an ifdef over the declaration
of sig_enforce as IS_ENABLED() can be used. While at it,
there's no harm in exposing this kernel parameter outside of
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG as it'd be a no-op on non module sig
kernels.
Now, technically we should in theory be able to remove
the #ifdef'ery over the declaration of the module parameter
as we are also trusting the bool_enable_only code for
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG kernels but for now remain paranoid
and keep it.
With time if no one can put a bullet through bool_enable_only
and if there are no technical requirements over not exposing
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE with the measures in place by
bool_enable_only we could remove this last ifdef.

__module_address() does an initial bound check before doing the
{list/tree} iteration to find the actual module. The bound variables
are nowhere near the mod_tree cacheline, in fact they're nowhere near
one another.
module_addr_min lives in .data while module_addr_max lives in .bss
(smarty pants GCC thinks the explicit 0 assignment is a mistake).
Rectify this by moving the two variables into a structure together
with the latch_tree_root to guarantee they all share the same
cacheline and avoid hitting two extra cachelines for the lookup.
While reworking the bounds code, move the bound update from allocation
to insertion time, this avoids updating the bounds for a few error
paths.

Currently __module_address() is using a linear search through all
modules in order to find the module corresponding to the provided
address. With a lot of modules this can take a lot of time.
One of the users of this is kernel_text_address() which is employed
in many stack unwinders; which in turn are used by perf-callchain and
ftrace (possibly from NMI context).
So by optimizing __module_address() we optimize many stack unwinders
which are used by both perf and tracing in performance sensitive code.

The current rcutorture testing does not do any cleanup operations.
This works because the srcu_struct is statically allocated, but it
does represent a memory leak of the associated dynamically allocated
->per_cpu_ref per-CPU variables. However, rcutorture currently uses
a statically allocated srcu_struct, which cannot legally be passed to
cleanup_srcu_struct(). Therefore, this commit adds a second form
of srcu (called srcud) that dynamically allocates and frees the
associated per-CPU variables. This commit also adds a ->cleanup()
member to rcu_torture_ops that is invoked at the end of the test,
after ->cb_barriers(). This ->cleanup() pointer is NULL for all
existing tests, and thus only used for scrud. Finally, the SRCU-P
torture-test configuration selects scrud instead of srcu, with SRCU-N
continuing to use srcu, thereby testing both static and dynamic
srcu_struct structures.

If, at the time __rcu_process_callbacks() is invoked, there are callbacks
in Tiny RCU's callback list, but none of them are ready to be invoked,
the current list-management code will knit the non-ready callbacks out
of the list. This can result in hangs and possibly worse. This commit
therefore inserts a check for there being no callbacks that can be
invoked immediately.
This bug is unlikely to occur -- you have to get a new callback between
the time rcu_sched_qs() or rcu_bh_qs() was called, but before we get to
__rcu_process_callbacks(). It was detected by the addition of RCU-bh
testing to rcutorture, which in turn was instigated by Iftekhar Ahmed's
mutation testing. Although this bug was made much more likely by
915e8a4fe4 (rcu: Remove fastpath from __rcu_process_callbacks()), this
did not cause the bug, but rather made it much more probable. That
said, it takes more than 40 hours of rcutorture testing, on average,
for this bug to appear, so this fix cannot be considered an emergency.

This commit creates an immutable rcu_data_p pointer that references
rcu_preempt_data for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU builds and that references
rcu_sched_data for TREE_RCU builds. This rcu_data_p pointer will enable
more code to move from #ifdef to IS_ENABLED().

This commit adds a "const" tag to the declarations of rcu_state_p,
which should allow the compiler to generate better code and also to
catch erroneous assignments to this variable.

This commit removes a few RCU_BOOST #ifdefs, replacing them with
IS_ENABLED()-protected return statements. This relies on the
optimizer to remove any resulting dead code. There are several other
RCU_BOOST #ifdefs, however these rely on some per-CPU variables that
are available only under RCU_BOOST. These might be converted later,
if the simplification proves to outweigh the increase in memory footprint.
One hoped-for advantage is more easily locating compiler errors in
obscure combinations of Kconfig parameters.
