Merge branch 'Remove unnecessary RCU grace period chaining'

Hou Tao says:

====================
Now bpf uses RCU grace period chaining to wait for the completion of
access from both sleepable and non-sleepable bpf program: calling
call_rcu_tasks_trace() firstly to wait for a RCU-tasks-trace grace
period, then in its callback calls call_rcu() or kfree_rcu() to wait for
a normal RCU grace period.

According to the implementation of RCU Tasks Trace, it inovkes
->postscan_func() to wait for one RCU-tasks-trace grace period and
rcu_tasks_trace_postscan() inovkes synchronize_rcu() to wait for one
normal RCU grace period in turn, so one RCU-tasks-trace grace period
will imply one normal RCU grace period. To codify the implication,
introduces rcu_trace_implies_rcu_gp() in patch #1. And using it in patch
Other two uses of call_rcu_tasks_trace() are unchanged: for
__bpf_prog_put_rcu() there is no gp chain and for
__bpf_tramp_image_put_rcu_tasks() it chains RCU tasks trace GP and RCU
tasks GP.

An alternative way to remove these unnecessary RCU grace period
chainings is using the RCU polling API to check whether or not a normal
RCU grace period has passed (e.g. get_state_synchronize_rcu()). But it
needs an unsigned long space for each free element or each call, and
it is not affordable for local storage element, so as for now always
rcu_trace_implies_rcu_gp().

Comments are always welcome.

Change Log:

v2:
 * codify the implication of RCU Tasks Trace grace period instead of
   assuming for it

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20221011071128.3470622-1-houtao@huaweicloud.com



Hou Tao (3):
  bpf: Use rcu_trace_implies_rcu_gp() in bpf memory allocator
  bpf: Use rcu_trace_implies_rcu_gp() in local storage map
  bpf: Use rcu_trace_implies_rcu_gp() for program array freeing
