rcu: Reduce expedited GP memory contention via per-CPU variables
Currently, the piggybacked-work checks carried out by sync_exp_work_done() atomically increment a small set of variables (the ->expedited_workdone0, ->expedited_workdone1, ->expedited_workdone2, ->expedited_workdone3 fields in the rcu_state structure), which will form a memory-contention bottleneck given a sufficiently large number of CPUs concurrently invoking either synchronize_rcu_expedited() or synchronize_sched_expedited(). This commit therefore moves these for fields to the per-CPU rcu_data structure, eliminating the memory contention. The show_rcuexp() function also changes to sum up each field in the rcu_data structures. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
