Davidlohr Bueso 3a6bfbc91d arch, locking: Ciao arch_mutex_cpu_relax()
The arch_mutex_cpu_relax() function, introduced by 34b133f, is
hacky and ugly. It was added a few years ago to address the fact
that common cpu_relax() calls include yielding on s390, and thus
impact the optimistic spinning functionality of mutexes. Nowadays
we use this function well beyond mutexes: rwsem, qrwlock, mcs and
lockref. Since the macro that defines the call is in the mutex header,
any users must include mutex.h and the naming is misleading as well.

This patch (i) renames the call to cpu_relax_lowlatency  ("relax, but
only if you can do it with very low latency") and (ii) defines it in
each arch's asm/processor.h local header, just like for regular cpu_relax
functions. On all archs, except s390, cpu_relax_lowlatency is simply cpu_relax,
and thus we can take it out of mutex.h. While this can seem redundant,
I believe it is a good choice as it allows us to move out arch specific
logic from generic locking primitives and enables future(?) archs to
transparently define it, similarly to System Z.

Peter Zijlstra 13b9a962a2 locking/rwsem: Rename 'activity' to 'count'
There are two definitions of struct rw_semaphore, one in linux/rwsem.h
and one in linux/rwsem-spinlock.h.

For some reason they have different names for the initial field. This
makes it impossible to use C99 named initialization for
__RWSEM_INITIALIZER() -- or we have to duplicate that entire thing
along with the structure definitions.

The simpler patch is renaming the rwsem-spinlock variant to match the
regular rwsem.

This allows us to switch to C99 named initialization.

Jason Low 33ecd2083a locking/spinlocks/mcs: Micro-optimize osq_unlock()
In the unlock function of the cancellable MCS spinlock, the first
thing we do is to retrive the current CPU's osq node. However, due to
the changes made in the previous patch, in the common case where the
lock is not contended, we wouldn't need to access the current CPU's
osq node anymore.

This patch optimizes this by only retriving this CPU's osq node
after we attempt the initial cmpxchg to unlock the osq and found
that its contended.

Jason Low 90631822c5 locking/spinlocks/mcs: Convert osq lock to atomic_t to reduce overhead
The cancellable MCS spinlock is currently used to queue threads that are
doing optimistic spinning. It uses per-cpu nodes, where a thread obtaining
the lock would access and queue the local node corresponding to the CPU that
it's running on. Currently, the cancellable MCS lock is implemented by using
pointers to these nodes.

In this patch, instead of operating on pointers to the per-cpu nodes, we
store the CPU numbers in which the per-cpu nodes correspond to in atomic_t.
A similar concept is used with the qspinlock.

By operating on the CPU # of the nodes using atomic_t instead of pointers
to those nodes, this can reduce the overhead of the cancellable MCS spinlock
by 32 bits (on 64 bit systems).

Jason Low 046a619d8e locking/spinlocks/mcs: Rename optimistic_spin_queue() to optimistic_spin_node()
Currently, the per-cpu nodes structure for the cancellable MCS spinlock is
named "optimistic_spin_queue". However, in a follow up patch in the series
we will be introducing a new structure that serves as the new "handle" for
the lock. It would make more sense if that structure is named
"optimistic_spin_queue". Additionally, since the current use of the
"optimistic_spin_queue" structure are  "nodes", it might be better if we
rename them to "node" anyway.

This preparatory patch renames all current "optimistic_spin_queue"
to "optimistic_spin_node".

Jason Low 37e9562453 locking/rwsem: Allow conservative optimistic spinning when readers have lock
Commit 4fc828e24c ("locking/rwsem: Support optimistic spinning")
introduced a major performance regression for workloads such as
xfs_repair which mix read and write locking of the mmap_sem across
many threads. The result was xfs_repair ran 5x slower on 3.16-rc2
than on 3.15 and using 20x more system CPU time.

Perf profiles indicate in some workloads that significant time can
be spent spinning on !owner. This is because we don't set the lock
owner when readers(s) obtain the rwsem.

In this patch, we'll modify rwsem_can_spin_on_owner() such that we'll
return false if there is no lock owner. The rationale is that if we
just entered the slowpath, yet there is no lock owner, then there is
a possibility that a reader has the lock. To be conservative, we'll
avoid spinning in these situations.

This patch reduced the total run time of the xfs_repair workload from
about 4 minutes 24 seconds down to approximately 1 minute 26 seconds,
back to close to the same performance as on 3.15.

Retesting of AIM7, which were some of the workloads used to test the
original optimistic spinning code, confirmed that we still get big
performance gains with optimistic spinning, even with this additional
regression fix. Davidlohr found that while the 'custom' workload took
a performance hit of ~-14% to throughput for >300 users with this
additional patch, the overall gain with optimistic spinning is
still ~+45%. The 'disk' workload even improved by ~+15% at >1000 users.

Jason Low 72d5305dcb locking/mutexes: Optimize mutex trylock slowpath
The mutex_trylock() function calls into __mutex_trylock_fastpath() when
trying to obtain the mutex. On 32 bit x86, in the !__HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG
case, __mutex_trylock_fastpath() calls directly into __mutex_trylock_slowpath()
regardless of whether or not the mutex is locked.

In __mutex_trylock_slowpath(), we then acquire the wait_lock spinlock, xchg()
lock->count with -1, then set lock->count back to 0 if there are no waiters,
and return true if the prev lock count was 1.

However, if the mutex is already locked, then there isn't much point
in attempting all of the above expensive operations. In this patch, we only
attempt the above trylock operations if the mutex is unlocked.

Jason Low 0d968dd8c6 locking/mutexes: Try to acquire mutex only if it is unlocked
Upon entering the slowpath in __mutex_lock_common(), we try once more to
acquire the mutex. We only try to acquire if (lock->count >= 0). However,
what we actually want here is to try to acquire if the mutex is unlocked
(lock->count == 1).

This patch changes it so that we only try-acquire the mutex upon entering
the slowpath if it is unlocked, rather than if the lock count is non-negative.
This helps further reduce unnecessary atomic xchg() operations.

Furthermore, this patch uses !mutex_is_locked(lock) to do the initial
checks for if the lock is free rather than directly calling atomic_read()
on the lock->count, in order to improve readability.

Jason Low 1e820c9608 locking/mutexes: Delete the MUTEX_SHOW_NO_WAITER macro
MUTEX_SHOW_NO_WAITER() is a macro which checks for if there are
"no waiters" on a mutex by checking if the lock count is non-negative.
Based on feedback from the discussion in the earlier version of this
patchset, the macro is not very readable.

Furthermore, checking lock->count isn't always the correct way to
determine if there are "no waiters" on a mutex. For example, a negative
count on a mutex really only means that there "potentially" are
waiters. Likewise, there can be waiters on the mutex even if the count is
non-negative. Thus, "MUTEX_SHOW_NO_WAITER" doesn't always do what the name
of the macro suggests.

So this patch deletes the MUTEX_SHOW_NO_WAITERS() macro, directly
use atomic_read() instead of the macro, and adds comments which
elaborate on how the extra atomic_read() checks can help reduce
unnecessary xchg() operations.

The mutex optimistic spinning documentation states that we spin for
acquisition when we find that there are no pending waiters. However,
in actuality, whether or not there are waiters for the mutex doesn't
determine if we will spin for it.

mentions that we spin for the mutex while we don't need to reschedule.

In case the dead lock detector is enabled we follow the lock chain to
the end in rt_mutex_adjust_prio_chain, even if we could stop earlier
due to the priority/waiter constellation.

But once we are no longer the top priority waiter in a certain step
or the task holding the lock has already the same priority then there
is no point in dequeing and enqueing along the lock chain as there is
no change at all.

So stop the queueing at this point.

Thomas Gleixner 88f2b4c15e rtmutex: Simplify rtmutex_slowtrylock()
Oleg noticed that rtmutex_slowtrylock() has a pointless check for
rt_mutex_owner(lock) != current.

To avoid calling try_to_take_rtmutex() we really want to check whether
the lock has an owner at all or whether the trylock failed because the
owner is NULL, but the RT_MUTEX_HAS_WAITERS bit is set. This covers
the lock is owned by caller situation as well.

We can actually do this check lockless. trylock is taking a chance
whether we take lock->wait_lock to do the check or not.

Add comments to the function while at it.

 "Another three patches to make the rtmutex code more robust.  That's

Thomas Gleixner 27e35715df rtmutex: Plug slow unlock race
When the rtmutex fast path is enabled the slow unlock function can
create the following situation:

spin_lock(foo->m->wait_lock);
foo->m->owner = NULL;
	    			rt_mutex_lock(foo->m); <-- fast path
				free = atomic_dec_and_test(foo->refcnt);
				rt_mutex_unlock(foo->m); <-- fast path
				if (free)
				   kfree(foo);

spin_unlock(foo->m->wait_lock); <--- Use after free.

Plug the race by changing the slow unlock to the following scheme:

     while (!rt_mutex_has_waiters(m)) {
     	    /* Clear the waiters bit in m->owner */
	    clear_rt_mutex_waiters(m);
      	    owner = rt_mutex_owner(m);
      	    spin_unlock(m->wait_lock);
      	    if (cmpxchg(m->owner, owner, 0) == owner)
      	       return;
      	    spin_lock(m->wait_lock);
     }

So in case of a new waiter incoming while the owner tries the slow
path unlock we have two situations:

 unlock(wait_lock);
					lock(wait_lock);
 cmpxchg(p, owner, 0) == owner
 	    	   			mark_rt_mutex_waiters(lock);
	 				acquire(lock);

Or:

 unlock(wait_lock);
					lock(wait_lock);
	 				mark_rt_mutex_waiters(lock);
 cmpxchg(p, owner, 0) != owner
					enqueue_waiter();
					unlock(wait_lock);
 lock(wait_lock);
 wakeup_next waiter();
 unlock(wait_lock);
					lock(wait_lock);
					acquire(lock);

If the fast path is disabled, then the simple

   m->owner = NULL;
   unlock(m->wait_lock);

is sufficient as all access to m->owner is serialized via
m->wait_lock;

Also document and clarify the wakeup_next_waiter function as suggested
by Oleg Nesterov.

Thomas Gleixner 8208498438 rtmutex: Detect changes in the pi lock chain
When we walk the lock chain, we drop all locks after each step. So the
lock chain can change under us before we reacquire the locks. That's
harmless in principle as we just follow the wrong lock path. But it
can lead to a false positive in the dead lock detection logic:

T0 holds L0
T0 blocks on L1 held by T1
T1 blocks on L2 held by T2
T2 blocks on L3 held by T3
T4 blocks on L4 held by T4

Now we walk the chain

lock T1 -> lock L2 -> adjust L2 -> unlock T1 -> 
     lock T2 ->  adjust T2 ->  drop locks

T2 times out and blocks on L0

Now we continue:

lock T2 -> lock L0 -> deadlock detected, but it's not a deadlock at all.

Brad tried to work around that in the deadlock detection logic itself,
but the more I looked at it the less I liked it, because it's crystal
ball magic after the fact.

We actually can detect a chain change very simple:

lock T1 -> lock L2 -> adjust L2 -> unlock T1 -> lock T2 -> adjust T2 ->

     next_lock = T2->pi_blocked_on->lock;

drop locks

T2 times out and blocks on L0

Now we continue:

lock T2 -> 

     if (next_lock != T2->pi_blocked_on->lock)
     	   return;

So if we detect that T2 is now blocked on a different lock we stop the
chain walk. That's also correct in the following scenario:

lock T1 -> lock L2 -> adjust L2 -> unlock T1 -> lock T2 -> adjust T2 ->

     next_lock = T2->pi_blocked_on->lock;

drop locks

T3 times out and drops L3
T2 acquires L3 and blocks on L4 now

Now we continue:

lock T2 -> 

     if (next_lock != T2->pi_blocked_on->lock)
     	   return;

We don't have to follow up the chain at that point, because T2
propagated our priority up to T4 already.

Thomas Gleixner 3d5c9340d1 rtmutex: Handle deadlock detection smarter
Even in the case when deadlock detection is not requested by the
caller, we can detect deadlocks. Right now the code stops the lock
chain walk and keeps the waiter enqueued, even on itself. Silly not to
yell when such a scenario is detected and to keep the waiter enqueued.

Return -EDEADLK unconditionally and handle it at the call sites.

The futex calls return -EDEADLK. The non futex ones dequeue the
waiter, throw a warning and put the task into a schedule loop.

Tagged for stable as it makes the code more robust.

Waiman Long 70af2f8a4f locking/rwlocks: Introduce 'qrwlocks' - fair, queued rwlocks
This rwlock uses the arch_spin_lock_t as a waitqueue, and assuming the
arch_spin_lock_t is a fair lock (ticket,mcs etc..) the resulting
rwlock is a fair lock.

It fits in the same 8 bytes as the regular rwlock_t by folding the
reader and writer count into a single integer, using the remaining 4
bytes for the arch_spinlock_t.

Architectures that can single-copy adress bytes can optimize
queue_write_unlock() with a 0 write to the LSB (the write count).

Performance as measured by Davidlohr Bueso (rwlock_t -> qrwlock_t):

Davidlohr Bueso 4fc828e24c locking/rwsem: Support optimistic spinning
We have reached the point where our mutexes are quite fine tuned
for a number of situations. This includes the use of heuristics
and optimistic spinning, based on MCS locking techniques.

Exclusive ownership of read-write semaphores are, conceptually,
just about the same as mutexes, making them close cousins. To
this end we need to make them both perform similarly, and
right now, rwsems are simply not up to it. This was discovered
by both reverting commit 4fc3f1d6 (mm/rmap, migration: Make
rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable) and
similarly, converting some other mutexes (ie: i_mmap_mutex) to
rwsems. This creates a situation where users have to choose
between a rwsem and mutex taking into account this important
performance difference. Specifically, biggest difference between
both locks is when we fail to acquire a mutex in the fastpath,
optimistic spinning comes in to play and we can avoid a large
amount of unnecessary sleeping and overhead of moving tasks in
and out of wait queue. Rwsems do not have such logic.

This patch, based on the work from Tim Chen and I, adds support
for write-side optimistic spinning when the lock is contended.
It also includes support for the recently added cancelable MCS
locking for adaptive spinning. Note that is is only applicable
to the xadd method, and the spinlock rwsem variant remains intact.

Allowing optimistic spinning before putting the writer on the wait
queue reduces wait queue contention and provided greater chance
for the rwsem to get acquired. With these changes, rwsem is on par
with mutex. The performance benefits can be seen on a number of
workloads. For instance, on a 8 socket, 80 core 64bit Westmere box,
aim7 shows the following improvements in throughput:

 +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+
 |   Workload   | throughput-increase | number of users |
 +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+
 | alltests     | 20%                 | >1000           |
 | custom       | 27%, 60%            | 10-100, >1000   |
 | high_systime | 36%, 30%            | >100, >1000     |
 | shared       | 58%, 29%            | 10-100, >1000   |
 +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+

There was also improvement on smaller systems, such as a quad-core
x86-64 laptop running a 30Gb PostgreSQL (pgbench) workload for up
to +60% in throughput for over 50 clients. Additionally, benefits
were also noticed in exim (mail server) workloads. Furthermore, no
performance regression have been seen at all.

Thomas Gleixner 397335f004 rtmutex: Fix deadlock detector for real
The current deadlock detection logic does not work reliably due to the
following early exit path:

	/*
	 * Drop out, when the task has no waiters. Note,
	 * top_waiter can be NULL, when we are in the deboosting
	 * mode!
	 */
	if (top_waiter && (!task_has_pi_waiters(task) ||
			   top_waiter != task_top_pi_waiter(task)))
		goto out_unlock_pi;

So this not only exits when the task has no waiters, it also exits
unconditionally when the current waiter is not the top priority waiter
of the task.

So in a nested locking scenario, it might abort the lock chain walk
and therefor miss a potential deadlock.

Simple fix: Continue the chain walk, when deadlock detection is
enabled.

We also avoid the whole enqueue, if we detect the deadlock right away
(A-A). It's an optimization, but also prevents that another waiter who
comes in after the detection and before the task has undone the damage
observes the situation and detects the deadlock and returns
-EDEADLOCK, which is wrong as the other task is not in a deadlock
situation.

Ingo Molnar e14505a8d5 Merge branch 'rcu/next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into core/rcu
Pull RCU updates from Paul E. McKenney:

" 1.      Update RCU documentation.  These were posted to LKML at
          https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/28/634.

  2.      Miscellaneous fixes.  These were posted to LKML at
          https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/28/645.

  3.      Torture-test changes.  These were posted to LKML at
          https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/28/667.

  4.      Variable-name renaming cleanup, sent separately due to conflicts.
          This was posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/13/854.

  5.      Patch to suppress RCU stall warnings while sysrq requests are
          being processed.  This patch is the RCU portions of the patch
          that Rik posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/29/457.
          The reason for pushing this patch ahead instead of waiting until
          3.17 is that the NMI-based stack traces are messing up sysrq
          output, and in some cases also messing up the system as well."

Paul E. McKenney 5228084eed torture: Check for multiple concurrent torture tests
The torture tests are designed to run in isolation, but do not enforce
this isolation.  This commit therefore checks for concurrent torture
tests, and refuses to start new tests while old tests are running.

Paul E. McKenney d065eacfdb locktorture: Remove reference to nonexistent Kconfig parameter
The locktorture module references CONFIG_LOCK_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE,
which does not exist.  Which is a good thing, because otherwise
randconfig testing could enable both rcutorture and locktorture
concurrently, which the torture tests are not set up for.  This
commit therefore removes the reference, so that test is runnable
immediately only when inserted as a module.

Paul E. McKenney da601c63fd torture: Intensify locking test
The current lock_torture_writer() spends too much time sleeping and not
enough time hammering locks, as in an eight-CPU test will often only be
utilizing a CPU or two.  This commit therefore makes lock_torture_writer()
sleep less and hammer more.

Tim Chen 3cf2f34e1a rwsem: Add comments to explain the meaning of the rwsem's count field
It took me quite a while to understand how rwsem's count field
mainifested itself in different scenarios.

Add comments to provide a quick reference to the the rwsem's count
field for each scenario where readers and writers are contending
for the lock.

Hopefully it will be useful for future maintenance of the code and
for people to get up to speed on how the logic in the code works.

Josh Triplett 64b47e8fdb lglock: map to spinlock when !CONFIG_SMP
When the system has only one CPU, lglock is effectively a spinlock; map
it directly to spinlock to eliminate the indirection and duplicate code.

In addition to removing overhead, this drops 1.6k of code with a
defconfig modified to have !CONFIG_SMP, and 1.1k with a minimal config.

Linus Torvalds 176ab02d49 Merge branch 'x86-asmlinkage-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 LTO changes from Peter Anvin:
 "More infrastructure work in preparation for link-time optimization
  (LTO).  Most of these changes is to make sure symbols accessed from
  assembly code are properly marked as visible so the linker doesn't
  remove them.

  My understanding is that the changes to support LTO are still not
  upstream in binutils, but are on the way there.  This patchset should
  conclude the x86-specific changes, and remaining patches to actually
  enable LTO will be fed through the Kbuild tree (other than keeping up
  with changes to the x86 code base, of course), although not
  necessarily in this merge window"
