Subject: [PATCH v3] rcu-tasks: Make RCU Tasks Trace checking for userspace execution
Date:   Tue, 19 Jul 2022 12:39:00 +0800

For RCU tasks trace, the userspace execution is also a valid quiescent.
when the scheduling clock interrupt handler interrupts current task and
check current tasks running in userspace, then invoke rcu_tasks_trace_qs()
to check quiescent state, usually, the current tasks ->trc_reader_nesting
should be zero, if the current tasks ->trc_reader_special.b.need_qs is not
set, set TRC_NEED_QS_CHECKED to ->trc_reader_special.b.need_qs. this cause
grace period kthread remove task from holdout list if current tasks is in
holdout list.

But sometimes, although the scheduling clock interrupt handler check
current tasks running in userspace, but the current tasks
->trc_reader_nesting maybe not zero (if one of the functions in the
scheduling-clock interrupt handler were traced/instrumented), and then
invoke rcu_tasks_trace_qs(), if the current tasks ->trc_reader_nesting
is still not zero, the current tasks will be insert local CPU blocked list.
if starts a new RCU tasks trace grace period and the grace period kthread
scan running tasks on each CPU, find that current tasks is running, will
also insert it to hold out list.

 v1->v2:
 Fix build error due to undeclared rcu_tasks_trace_qs(), note in no-PREEMPT_RCU
 kernel, the RCU Tasks is replaced by RCU, so rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch()
 only include rcu_tasks_trace_qs().
 
 v2->v3:
 Modify commit information.
