License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

locking/rwsem: Add reader-owned state to the owner field Currently, it is not possible to determine for sure if a reader owns a rwsem by looking at the content of the rwsem data structure. This patch adds a new state RWSEM_READER_OWNED to the owner field to indicate that readers currently own the lock. This enables us to address the following 2 issues in the rwsem optimistic spinning code: 1) rwsem_can_spin_on_owner() will disallow optimistic spinning if the owner field is NULL which can mean either the readers own the lock or the owning writer hasn't set the owner field yet. In the latter case, we miss the chance to do optimistic spinning. 2) While a writer is waiting in the OSQ and a reader takes the lock, the writer will continue to spin when out of the OSQ in the main rwsem_optimistic_spin() loop as the owner field is NULL wasting CPU cycles if some of readers are sleeping. Adding the new state will allow optimistic spinning to go forward as long as the owner field is not RWSEM_READER_OWNED and the owner is running, if set, but stop immediately when that state has been reached. On a 4-socket Haswell machine running on a 4.6-rc1 based kernel, the fio test with multithreaded randrw and randwrite tests on the same file on a XFS partition on top of a NVDIMM were run, the aggregated bandwidths before and after the patch were as follows: Test BW before patch BW after patch % change ---- --------------- -------------- -------- randrw 988 MB/s 1192 MB/s +21% randwrite 1513 MB/s 1623 MB/s +7.3% The perf profile of the rwsem_down_write_failed() function in randrw before and after the patch were: 19.95% 5.88% fio [kernel.vmlinux] [k] rwsem_down_write_failed 14.20% 1.52% fio [kernel.vmlinux] [k] rwsem_down_write_failed The actual CPU cycles spend in rwsem_down_write_failed() dropped from 5.88% to 1.52% after the patch.

locking/rwsem: Make owner store task pointer of last owning reader Currently, when a reader acquires a lock, it only sets the RWSEM_READER_OWNED bit in the owner field. The other bits are simply not used. When debugging hanging cases involving rwsems and readers, the owner value does not provide much useful information at all. This patch modifies the current behavior to always store the task_struct pointer of the last rwsem-acquiring reader in a reader-owned rwsem. This may be useful in debugging rwsem hanging cases especially if only one reader is involved. However, the task in the owner field may not the real owner or one of the real owners at all when the owner value is examined, for example, in a crash dump. So it is just an additional hint about the past history. If CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS=y is enabled, the owner field will be checked at unlock time too to make sure the task pointer value is valid. That does have a slight performance cost and so is only enabled as part of that debug option. From the performance point of view, it is expected that the changes shouldn't have any noticeable performance impact. A rwsem microbenchmark (with 48 worker threads and 1:1 reader/writer ratio) was ran on a 2-socket 24-core 48-thread Haswell system. The locking rates on a 4.19-rc1 based kernel were as follows: 1) Unpatched kernel: 543.3 kops/s 2) Patched kernel: 549.2 kops/s 3) Patched kernel (CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS on): 546.6 kops/s There was actually a slight increase in performance (1.1%) in this particular case. Maybe it was caused by the elimination of a branch or just a testing noise. Turning on the CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS option also had less than the expected impact on performance. The least significant 2 bits of the owner value are now used to designate the rwsem is readers owned and the owners are anonymous.

locking/rwsem: Enable lock event counting Add lock event counting calls so that we can track the number of lock events happening in the rwsem code. With CONFIG_LOCK_EVENT_COUNTS on and booting a 4-socket 112-thread x86-64 system, the rwsem counts after system bootup were as follows: rwsem_opt_fail=261 rwsem_opt_wlock=50636 rwsem_rlock=445 rwsem_rlock_fail=0 rwsem_rlock_fast=22 rwsem_rtrylock=810144 rwsem_sleep_reader=441 rwsem_sleep_writer=310 rwsem_wake_reader=355 rwsem_wake_writer=2335 rwsem_wlock=261 rwsem_wlock_fail=0 rwsem_wtrylock=20583 It can be seen that most of the lock acquisitions in the slowpath were write-locks in the optimistic spinning code path with no sleeping at all. For this system, over 97% of the locks are acquired via optimistic spinning. It illustrates the importance of optimistic spinning in improving the performance of rwsem.

locking/rwsem: Remove arch specific rwsem files As the generic rwsem-xadd code is using the appropriate acquire and release versions of the atomic operations, the arch specific rwsem.h files will not be that much faster than the generic code as long as the atomic functions are properly implemented. So we can remove those arch specific rwsem.h and stop building asm/rwsem.h to reduce maintenance effort. Currently, only x86, alpha and ia64 have implemented architecture specific fast paths. I don't have access to alpha and ia64 systems for testing, but they are legacy systems that are not likely to be updated to the latest kernel anyway. By using a rwsem microbenchmark, the total locking rates on a 4-socket 56-core 112-thread x86-64 system before and after the patch were as follows (mixed means equal # of read and write locks): Before Patch After Patch # of Threads wlock rlock mixed wlock rlock mixed ------------ ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- 1 29,201 30,143 29,458 28,615 30,172 29,201 2 6,807 13,299 1,171 7,725 15,025 1,804 4 6,504 12,755 1,520 7,127 14,286 1,345 8 6,762 13,412 764 6,826 13,652 726 16 6,693 15,408 662 6,599 15,938 626 32 6,145 15,286 496 5,549 15,487 511 64 5,812 15,495 60 5,858 15,572 60 There were some run-to-run variations for the multi-thread tests. For x86-64, using the generic C code fast path seems to be a little bit faster than the assembly version with low lock contention. Looking at the assembly version of the fast paths, there are assembly to/from C code wrappers that save and restore all the callee-clobbered registers (7 registers on x86-64). The assembly generated from the generic C code doesn't need to do that. That may explain the slight performance gain here. The generic asm rwsem.h can also be merged into kernel/locking/rwsem.h with no code change as no other code other than those under kernel/locking needs to access the internal rwsem macros and functions.

locking/rwsem: Implement a new locking scheme The current way of using various reader, writer and waiting biases in the rwsem code are confusing and hard to understand. I have to reread the rwsem count guide in the rwsem-xadd.c file from time to time to remind myself how this whole thing works. It also makes the rwsem code harder to be optimized. To make rwsem more sane, a new locking scheme similar to the one in qrwlock is now being used. The atomic long count has the following bit definitions: Bit 0 - writer locked bit Bit 1 - waiters present bit Bits 2-7 - reserved for future extension Bits 8-X - reader count (24/56 bits) The cmpxchg instruction is now used to acquire the write lock. The read lock is still acquired with xadd instruction, so there is no change here. This scheme will allow up to 16M/64P active readers which should be more than enough. We can always use some more reserved bits if necessary. With that change, we can deterministically know if a rwsem has been write-locked. Looking at the count alone, however, one cannot determine for certain if a rwsem is owned by readers or not as the readers that set the reader count bits may be in the process of backing out. So we still need the reader-owned bit in the owner field to be sure. With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the total locking rates (in kops/s) of the benchmark on a 8-socket 120-core IvyBridge-EX system before and after the patch were as follows: Before Patch After Patch # of Threads wlock rlock wlock rlock ------------ ----- ----- ----- ----- 1 30,659 31,341 31,055 31,283 2 8,909 16,457 9,884 17,659 4 9,028 15,823 8,933 20,233 8 8,410 14,212 7,230 17,140 16 8,217 25,240 7,479 24,607 The locking rates of the benchmark on a Power8 system were as follows: Before Patch After Patch # of Threads wlock rlock wlock rlock ------------ ----- ----- ----- ----- 1 12,963 13,647 13,275 13,601 2 7,570 11,569 7,902 10,829 4 5,232 5,516 5,466 5,435 8 5,233 3,386 5,467 3,168 The locking rates of the benchmark on a 2-socket ARM64 system were as follows: Before Patch After Patch # of Threads wlock rlock wlock rlock ------------ ----- ----- ----- ----- 1 21,495 21,046 21,524 21,074 2 5,293 10,502 5,333 10,504 4 5,325 11,463 5,358 11,631 8 5,391 11,712 5,470 11,680 The performance are roughly the same before and after the patch.

locking/rwsem: Make owner store task pointer of last owning reader Currently, when a reader acquires a lock, it only sets the RWSEM_READER_OWNED bit in the owner field. The other bits are simply not used. When debugging hanging cases involving rwsems and readers, the owner value does not provide much useful information at all. This patch modifies the current behavior to always store the task_struct pointer of the last rwsem-acquiring reader in a reader-owned rwsem. This may be useful in debugging rwsem hanging cases especially if only one reader is involved. However, the task in the owner field may not the real owner or one of the real owners at all when the owner value is examined, for example, in a crash dump. So it is just an additional hint about the past history. If CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS=y is enabled, the owner field will be checked at unlock time too to make sure the task pointer value is valid. That does have a slight performance cost and so is only enabled as part of that debug option. From the performance point of view, it is expected that the changes shouldn't have any noticeable performance impact. A rwsem microbenchmark (with 48 worker threads and 1:1 reader/writer ratio) was ran on a 2-socket 24-core 48-thread Haswell system. The locking rates on a 4.19-rc1 based kernel were as follows: 1) Unpatched kernel: 543.3 kops/s 2) Patched kernel: 549.2 kops/s 3) Patched kernel (CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS on): 546.6 kops/s There was actually a slight increase in performance (1.1%) in this particular case. Maybe it was caused by the elimination of a branch or just a testing noise. Turning on the CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS option also had less than the expected impact on performance. The least significant 2 bits of the owner value are now used to designate the rwsem is readers owned and the owners are anonymous.

locking/rwsem: Add reader-owned state to the owner field Currently, it is not possible to determine for sure if a reader owns a rwsem by looking at the content of the rwsem data structure. This patch adds a new state RWSEM_READER_OWNED to the owner field to indicate that readers currently own the lock. This enables us to address the following 2 issues in the rwsem optimistic spinning code: 1) rwsem_can_spin_on_owner() will disallow optimistic spinning if the owner field is NULL which can mean either the readers own the lock or the owning writer hasn't set the owner field yet. In the latter case, we miss the chance to do optimistic spinning. 2) While a writer is waiting in the OSQ and a reader takes the lock, the writer will continue to spin when out of the OSQ in the main rwsem_optimistic_spin() loop as the owner field is NULL wasting CPU cycles if some of readers are sleeping. Adding the new state will allow optimistic spinning to go forward as long as the owner field is not RWSEM_READER_OWNED and the owner is running, if set, but stop immediately when that state has been reached. On a 4-socket Haswell machine running on a 4.6-rc1 based kernel, the fio test with multithreaded randrw and randwrite tests on the same file on a XFS partition on top of a NVDIMM were run, the aggregated bandwidths before and after the patch were as follows: Test BW before patch BW after patch % change ---- --------------- -------------- -------- randrw 988 MB/s 1192 MB/s +21% randwrite 1513 MB/s 1623 MB/s +7.3% The perf profile of the rwsem_down_write_failed() function in randrw before and after the patch were: 19.95% 5.88% fio [kernel.vmlinux] [k] rwsem_down_write_failed 14.20% 1.52% fio [kernel.vmlinux] [k] rwsem_down_write_failed The actual CPU cycles spend in rwsem_down_write_failed() dropped from 5.88% to 1.52% after the patch. The xfstests was also run and no regression was observed.

So it is just an additional hint about the past history. If CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS=y is enabled, the owner field will be checked at unlock time too to make sure the task pointer value is valid. That does have a slight performance cost and so is only enabled as part of that debug option. From the performance point of view, it is expected that the changes shouldn't have any noticeable performance impact. A rwsem microbenchmark (with 48 worker threads and 1:1 reader/writer ratio) was ran on a 2-socket 24-core 48-thread Haswell system. The locking rates on a 4.19-rc1 based kernel were as follows: 1) Unpatched kernel: 543.3 kops/s 2) Patched kernel: 549.2 kops/s 3) Patched kernel (CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS on): 546.6 kops/s There was actually a slight increase in performance (1.1%) in this particular case. Maybe it was caused by the elimination of a branch or just a testing noise. Turning on the CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS option also had less than the expected impact on performance. The least significant 2 bits of the owner value are now used to designate the rwsem is readers owned and the owners are anonymous.

locking/rwsem: Add reader-owned state to the owner field Currently, it is not possible to determine for sure if a reader owns a rwsem by looking at the content of the rwsem data structure. This patch adds a new state RWSEM_READER_OWNED to the owner field to indicate that readers currently own the lock. This enables us to address the following 2 issues in the rwsem optimistic spinning code: 1) rwsem_can_spin_on_owner() will disallow optimistic spinning if the owner field is NULL which can mean either the readers own the lock or the owning writer hasn't set the owner field yet. In the latter case, we miss the chance to do optimistic spinning. 2) While a writer is waiting in the OSQ and a reader takes the lock, the writer will continue to spin when out of the OSQ in the main rwsem_optimistic_spin() loop as the owner field is NULL wasting CPU cycles if some of readers are sleeping. Adding the new state will allow optimistic spinning to go forward as long as the owner field is not RWSEM_READER_OWNED and the owner is running, if set, but stop immediately when that state has been reached. On a 4-socket Haswell machine running on a 4.6-rc1 based kernel, the fio test with multithreaded randrw and randwrite tests on the same file on a XFS partition on top of a NVDIMM were run, the aggregated bandwidths before and after the patch were as follows: Test BW before patch BW after patch % change ---- --------------- -------------- -------- randrw 988 MB/s 1192 MB/s +21% randwrite 1513 MB/s 1623 MB/s +7.3% The perf profile of the rwsem_down_write_failed() function in randrw before and after the patch were: 19.95% 5.88% fio [kernel.vmlinux] [k] rwsem_down_write_failed 14.20% 1.52% fio [kernel.vmlinux] [k] rwsem_down_write_failed The actual CPU cycles spend in rwsem_down_write_failed() dropped from 5.88% to 1.52% after the patch.

locking/rwsem: Add a new RWSEM_ANONYMOUSLY_OWNED flag There are use cases where a rwsem can be acquired by one task, but released by another task. In thess cases, optimistic spinning may need to be disabled. One example will be the filesystem freeze/thaw code where the task that freezes the filesystem will acquire a write lock on a rwsem and then un-owns it before returning to userspace. Later on, another task will come along, acquire the ownership, thaw the filesystem and release the rwsem. Bit 0 of the owner field was used to designate that it is a reader owned rwsem. It is now repurposed to mean that the owner of the rwsem is not known. If only bit 0 is set, the rwsem is reader owned. If bit 0 and other bits are set, it is writer owned with an unknown owner. One such value for the latter case is (-1L). So we can set owner to 1 for reader-owned, -1 for writer-owned. The owner is unknown in both cases. To handle transfer of rwsem ownership, the higher level code should set the owner field to -1 to indicate a write-locked rwsem with unknown owner. Optimistic spinning will be disabled in this case. Once the higher level code figures who the new owner is, it can then set the owner field accordingly.

locking/rwsem: Make owner store task pointer of last owning reader Currently, when a reader acquires a lock, it only sets the RWSEM_READER_OWNED bit in the owner field. The other bits are simply not used. When debugging hanging cases involving rwsems and readers, the owner value does not provide much useful information at all. This patch modifies the current behavior to always store the task_struct pointer of the last rwsem-acquiring reader in a reader-owned rwsem. This may be useful in debugging rwsem hanging cases especially if only one reader is involved. However, the task in the owner field may not the real owner or one of the real owners at all when the owner value is examined, for example, in a crash dump. So it is just an additional hint about the past history. If CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS=y is enabled, the owner field will be checked at unlock time too to make sure the task pointer value is valid. That does have a slight performance cost and so is only enabled as part of that debug option.

locking/rwsem: Make owner store task pointer of last owning reader Currently, when a reader acquires a lock, it only sets the RWSEM_READER_OWNED bit in the owner field. The other bits are simply not used. When debugging hanging cases involving rwsems and readers, the owner value does not provide much useful information at all. This patch modifies the current behavior to always store the task_struct pointer of the last rwsem-acquiring reader in a reader-owned rwsem. This may be useful in debugging rwsem hanging cases especially if only one reader is involved. However, the task in the owner field may not the real owner or one of the real owners at all when the owner value is examined, for example, in a crash dump. So it is just an additional hint about the past history. If CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS=y is enabled, the owner field will be checked at unlock time too to make sure the task pointer value is valid. That does have a slight performance cost and so is only enabled as part of that debug option. From the performance point of view, it is expected that the changes shouldn't have any noticeable performance impact. A rwsem microbenchmark (with 48 worker threads and 1:1 reader/writer ratio) was ran on a 2-socket 24-core 48-thread Haswell system. The locking rates on a 4.19-rc1 based kernel were as follows: 1) Unpatched kernel: 543.3 kops/s 2) Patched kernel: 549.2 kops/s 3) Patched kernel (CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS on): 546.6 kops/s There was actually a slight increase in performance (1.1%) in this particular case. Maybe it was caused by the elimination of a branch or just a testing noise. Turning on the CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS option also had less than the expected impact on performance. The least significant 2 bits of the owner value are now used to designate the rwsem is readers owned and the owners are anonymous.

locking/rwsem: Implement a new locking scheme The current way of using various reader, writer and waiting biases in the rwsem code are confusing and hard to understand. I have to reread the rwsem count guide in the rwsem-xadd.c file from time to time to remind myself how this whole thing works. It also makes the rwsem code harder to be optimized. To make rwsem more sane, a new locking scheme similar to the one in qrwlock is now being used. The atomic long count has the following bit definitions: Bit 0 - writer locked bit Bit 1 - waiters present bit Bits 2-7 - reserved for future extension Bits 8-X - reader count (24/56 bits) The cmpxchg instruction is now used to acquire the write lock. The read lock is still acquired with xadd instruction, so there is no change here. This scheme will allow up to 16M/64P active readers which should be more than enough. We can always use some more reserved bits if necessary. With that change, we can deterministically know if a rwsem has been write-locked. Looking at the count alone, however, one cannot determine for certain if a rwsem is owned by readers or not as the readers that set the reader count bits may be in the process of backing out. So we still need the reader-owned bit in the owner field to be sure. With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the total locking rates (in kops/s) of the benchmark on a 8-socket 120-core IvyBridge-EX system before and after the patch were as follows: Before Patch After Patch # of Threads wlock rlock wlock rlock ------------ ----- ----- ----- ----- 1 30,659 31,341 31,055 31,283 2 8,909 16,457 9,884 17,659 4 9,028 15,823 8,933 20,233 8 8,410 14,212 7,230 17,140 16 8,217 25,240 7,479 24,607 The locking rates of the benchmark on a Power8 system were as follows: Before Patch After Patch # of Threads wlock rlock wlock rlock ------------ ----- ----- ----- ----- 1 12,963 13,647 13,275 13,601 2 7,570 11,569 7,902 10,829 4 5,232 5,516 5,466 5,435 8 5,233 3,386 5,467 3,168 The locking rates of the benchmark on a 2-socket ARM64 system were as follows: Before Patch After Patch # of Threads wlock rlock wlock rlock ------------ ----- ----- ----- ----- 1 21,495 21,046 21,524 21,074 2 5,293 10,502 5,333 10,504 4 5,325 11,463 5,358 11,631 8 5,391 11,712 5,470 11,680 The performance are roughly the same before and after the patch.

locking/rwsem: Enable lock event counting Add lock event counting calls so that we can track the number of lock events happening in the rwsem code. With CONFIG_LOCK_EVENT_COUNTS on and booting a 4-socket 112-thread x86-64 system, the rwsem counts after system bootup were as follows: rwsem_opt_fail=261 rwsem_opt_wlock=50636 rwsem_rlock=445 rwsem_rlock_fail=0 rwsem_rlock_fast=22 rwsem_rtrylock=810144 rwsem_sleep_reader=441 rwsem_sleep_writer=310 rwsem_wake_reader=355 rwsem_wake_writer=2335 rwsem_wlock=261 rwsem_wlock_fail=0 rwsem_wtrylock=20583 It can be seen that most of the lock acquisitions in the slowpath were write-locks in the optimistic spinning code path with no sleeping at all. For this system, over 97% of the locks are acquired via optimistic spinning. It illustrates the importance of optimistic spinning in improving the performance of rwsem.

locking/rwsem: Implement a new locking scheme The current way of using various reader, writer and waiting biases in the rwsem code are confusing and hard to understand. I have to reread the rwsem count guide in the rwsem-xadd.c file from time to time to remind myself how this whole thing works. It also makes the rwsem code harder to be optimized. To make rwsem more sane, a new locking scheme similar to the one in qrwlock is now being used. The atomic long count has the following bit definitions: Bit 0 - writer locked bit Bit 1 - waiters present bit Bits 2-7 - reserved for future extension Bits 8-X - reader count (24/56 bits) The cmpxchg instruction is now used to acquire the write lock. The read lock is still acquired with xadd instruction, so there is no change here. This scheme will allow up to 16M/64P active readers which should be more than enough. We can always use some more reserved bits if necessary. With that change, we can deterministically know if a rwsem has been write-locked. Looking at the count alone, however, one cannot determine for certain if a rwsem is owned by readers or not as the readers that set the reader count bits may be in the process of backing out. So we still need the reader-owned bit in the owner field to be sure. With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the total locking rates (in kops/s) of the benchmark on a 8-socket 120-core IvyBridge-EX system before and after the patch were as follows: Before Patch After Patch # of Threads wlock rlock wlock rlock ------------ ----- ----- ----- ----- 1 30,659 31,341 31,055 31,283 2 8,909 16,457 9,884 17,659 4 9,028 15,823 8,933 20,233 8 8,410 14,212 7,230 17,140 16 8,217 25,240 7,479 24,607 The locking rates of the benchmark on a Power8 system were as follows: Before Patch After Patch # of Threads wlock rlock wlock rlock ------------ ----- ----- ----- ----- 1 12,963 13,647 13,275 13,601 2 7,570 11,569 7,902 10,829 4 5,232 5,516 5,466 5,435 8 5,233 3,386 5,467 3,168 The locking rates of the benchmark on a 2-socket ARM64 system were as follows: Before Patch After Patch # of Threads wlock rlock wlock rlock ------------ ----- ----- ----- ----- 1 21,495 21,046 21,524 21,074 2 5,293 10,502 5,333 10,504 4 5,325 11,463 5,358 11,631 8 5,391 11,712 5,470 11,680 The performance are roughly the same before and after the patch.

For x86-64, using the generic C code fast path seems to be a little bit faster than the assembly version with low lock contention. Looking at the assembly version of the fast paths, there are assembly to/from C code wrappers that save and restore all the callee-clobbered registers (7 registers on x86-64). The assembly generated from the generic C code doesn't need to do that. That may explain the slight performance gain here. The generic asm rwsem.h can also be merged into kernel/locking/rwsem.h with no code change as no other code other than those under kernel/locking needs to access the internal rwsem macros and functions.

locking/rwsem: Implement a new locking scheme The current way of using various reader, writer and waiting biases in the rwsem code are confusing and hard to understand. I have to reread the rwsem count guide in the rwsem-xadd.c file from time to time to remind myself how this whole thing works. It also makes the rwsem code harder to be optimized. To make rwsem more sane, a new locking scheme similar to the one in qrwlock is now being used. The atomic long count has the following bit definitions: Bit 0 - writer locked bit Bit 1 - waiters present bit Bits 2-7 - reserved for future extension Bits 8-X - reader count (24/56 bits) The cmpxchg instruction is now used to acquire the write lock. The read lock is still acquired with xadd instruction, so there is no change here. This scheme will allow up to 16M/64P active readers which should be more than enough. We can always use some more reserved bits if necessary. With that change, we can deterministically know if a rwsem has been write-locked. Looking at the count alone, however, one cannot determine for certain if a rwsem is owned by readers or not as the readers that set the reader count bits may be in the process of backing out. So we still need the reader-owned bit in the owner field to be sure. With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the total locking rates (in kops/s) of the benchmark on a 8-socket 120-core IvyBridge-EX system before and after the patch were as follows: Before Patch After Patch # of Threads wlock rlock wlock rlock ------------ ----- ----- ----- ----- 1 30,659 31,341 31,055 31,283 2 8,909 16,457 9,884 17,659 4 9,028 15,823 8,933 20,233 8 8,410 14,212 7,230 17,140 16 8,217 25,240 7,479 24,607 The locking rates of the benchmark on a Power8 system were as follows: Before Patch After Patch # of Threads wlock rlock wlock rlock ------------ ----- ----- ----- ----- 1 12,963 13,647 13,275 13,601 2 7,570 11,569 7,902 10,829 4 5,232 5,516 5,466 5,435 8 5,233 3,386 5,467 3,168 The locking rates of the benchmark on a 2-socket ARM64 system were as follows: Before Patch After Patch # of Threads wlock rlock wlock rlock ------------ ----- ----- ----- ----- 1 21,495 21,046 21,524 21,074 2 5,293 10,502 5,333 10,504 4 5,325 11,463 5,358 11,631 8 5,391 11,712 5,470 11,680 The performance are roughly the same before and after the patch.

locking/rwsem: Enable lock event counting Add lock event counting calls so that we can track the number of lock events happening in the rwsem code. With CONFIG_LOCK_EVENT_COUNTS on and booting a 4-socket 112-thread x86-64 system, the rwsem counts after system bootup were as follows: rwsem_opt_fail=261 rwsem_opt_wlock=50636 rwsem_rlock=445 rwsem_rlock_fail=0 rwsem_rlock_fast=22 rwsem_rtrylock=810144 rwsem_sleep_reader=441 rwsem_sleep_writer=310 rwsem_wake_reader=355 rwsem_wake_writer=2335 rwsem_wlock=261 rwsem_wlock_fail=0 rwsem_wtrylock=20583 It can be seen that most of the lock acquisitions in the slowpath were write-locks in the optimistic spinning code path with no sleeping at all. For this system, over 97% of the locks are acquired via optimistic spinning. It illustrates the importance of optimistic spinning in improving the performance of rwsem.

locking/rwsem: Implement a new locking scheme The current way of using various reader, writer and waiting biases in the rwsem code are confusing and hard to understand. I have to reread the rwsem count guide in the rwsem-xadd.c file from time to time to remind myself how this whole thing works. It also makes the rwsem code harder to be optimized. To make rwsem more sane, a new locking scheme similar to the one in qrwlock is now being used. The atomic long count has the following bit definitions: Bit 0 - writer locked bit Bit 1 - waiters present bit Bits 2-7 - reserved for future extension Bits 8-X - reader count (24/56 bits) The cmpxchg instruction is now used to acquire the write lock. The read lock is still acquired with xadd instruction, so there is no change here. This scheme will allow up to 16M/64P active readers which should be more than enough. We can always use some more reserved bits if necessary. With that change, we can deterministically know if a rwsem has been write-locked. Looking at the count alone, however, one cannot determine for certain if a rwsem is owned by readers or not as the readers that set the reader count bits may be in the process of backing out. So we still need the reader-owned bit in the owner field to be sure.

The assembly generated from the generic C code doesn't need to do that. That may explain the slight performance gain here. The generic asm rwsem.h can also be merged into kernel/locking/rwsem.h with no code change as no other code other than those under kernel/locking needs to access the internal rwsem macros and functions.

locking/rwsem: Implement a new locking scheme The current way of using various reader, writer and waiting biases in the rwsem code are confusing and hard to understand. I have to reread the rwsem count guide in the rwsem-xadd.c file from time to time to remind myself how this whole thing works. It also makes the rwsem code harder to be optimized. To make rwsem more sane, a new locking scheme similar to the one in qrwlock is now being used. The atomic long count has the following bit definitions: Bit 0 - writer locked bit Bit 1 - waiters present bit Bits 2-7 - reserved for future extension Bits 8-X - reader count (24/56 bits) The cmpxchg instruction is now used to acquire the write lock. The read lock is still acquired with xadd instruction, so there is no change here. This scheme will allow up to 16M/64P active readers which should be more than enough. We can always use some more reserved bits if necessary. With that change, we can deterministically know if a rwsem has been write-locked. Looking at the count alone, however, one cannot determine for certain if a rwsem is owned by readers or not as the readers that set the reader count bits may be in the process of backing out. So we still need the reader-owned bit in the owner field to be sure. With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the total locking rates (in kops/s) of the benchmark on a 8-socket 120-core IvyBridge-EX system before and after the patch were as follows: Before Patch After Patch # of Threads wlock rlock wlock rlock ------------ ----- ----- ----- ----- 1 30,659 31,341 31,055 31,283 2 8,909 16,457 9,884 17,659 4 9,028 15,823 8,933 20,233 8 8,410 14,212 7,230 17,140 16 8,217 25,240 7,479 24,607 The locking rates of the benchmark on a Power8 system were as follows: Before Patch After Patch # of Threads wlock rlock wlock rlock ------------ ----- ----- ----- ----- 1 12,963 13,647 13,275 13,601 2 7,570 11,569 7,902 10,829 4 5,232 5,516 5,466 5,435 8 5,233 3,386 5,467 3,168 The locking rates of the benchmark on a 2-socket ARM64 system were as follows: Before Patch After Patch # of Threads wlock rlock wlock rlock ------------ ----- ----- ----- ----- 1 21,495 21,046 21,524 21,074 2 5,293 10,502 5,333 10,504 4 5,325 11,463 5,358 11,631 8 5,391 11,712 5,470 11,680 The performance are roughly the same before and after the patch.

locking/rwsem: Remove arch specific rwsem files As the generic rwsem-xadd code is using the appropriate acquire and release versions of the atomic operations, the arch specific rwsem.h files will not be that much faster than the generic code as long as the atomic functions are properly implemented. So we can remove those arch specific rwsem.h and stop building asm/rwsem.h to reduce maintenance effort. Currently, only x86, alpha and ia64 have implemented architecture specific fast paths.
