ubject to failure on real-time systems that forced all expedited grace periods to run as normal grace periods (for example, using the rcu_normal ksysfs parameter). The callchain from the failure case is as follows: early_amd_iommu_init() |-> acpi_put_table(ivrs_base); |-> acpi_tb_put_table(table_desc); |-> acpi_tb_invalidate_table(table_desc); |-> acpi_tb_release_table(...) |-> acpi_os_unmap_memory |-> acpi_os_unmap_iomem |-> acpi_os_map_cleanup |-> synchronize_rcu_expedited The kernel showing this callchain was built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y, which caused the code to try using workqueues before they were initialized, which did not go well. This commit therefore reworks RCU to permit synchronous grace periods to proceed during this mid-boot phase. This commit is therefore a fix to a regression introduced in v4.9, and is therefore being put forward post-merge-window in v4.10. This commit sets a flag from the existing rcu_scheduler_starting() function which causes all synchronous grace periods to take the expedited path. The expedited path now checks this flag, using the requesting task to drive the expedited grace period forward during the mid-boot phase. Finally, this flag is updated by a core_initcall() function named rcu_exp_runtime_mode(), which causes the runtime codepaths to be used. Note that this arrangement assumes that tasks are not sent POSIX signals (or anything similar) from the time that the first task is spawned through core_initcall() time.
