[Xen-devel] [PATCH v6 3/4] xen/rcu: add assertions to debug build

[Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>]

Xen's RCU implementation relies on no softirq handling taking place
while being in a RCU critical section. Add ASSERT()s in debug builds
in order to catch any violations.

For that purpose modify rcu_read_[un]lock() to use a dedicated percpu
counter additional to preempt_[en|dis]able() as this enables to test
that condition in __do_softirq() (ASSERT_NOT_IN_ATOMIC() is not
usable there due to __cpu_up() calling process_pending_softirqs()
while holding the cpu hotplug lock).

While at it switch the rcu_read_[un]lock() implementation to static
inline functions instead of macros.

V3:
- add barriers to rcu_[en|dis]able() (Roger Pau Monné)
- add rcu_quiesce_allowed() to ASSERT_NOT_IN_ATOMIC (Roger Pau Monné)
- convert macros to static inline functions
- add sanity check in rcu_read_unlock()

V4:
- use barrier() in rcu_[en|dis]able() (Julien Grall)

V5:
- use rcu counter even if not using a debug build

V6:
- keep preempt_[dis|en]able() calls
