The definition of "conflict" should not include the type of access nor
whether the accesses are concurrent or not, which this patch addresses.
The definition of "data race" remains unchanged.
The definition of "conflict" as we know it and is cited by various
papers on memory consistency models appeared in [1]: "Two accesses to
the same variable conflict if at least one is a write; two operations
conflict if they execute conflicting accesses."
The LKMM as well as the C11 memory model are adaptations of
data-race-free, which are based on the work in [2]. Necessarily, we need
both conflicting data operations (plain) and synchronization operations
(marked). For example, C11's definition is based on [3], which defines a
"data race" as: "Two memory operations conflict if they access the same
memory location, and at least one of them is a store, atomic store, or
atomic read-modify-write operation. In a sequentially consistent
execution, two memory operations from different threads form a type 1
data race if they conflict, at least one of them is a data operation,
and they are adjacent in <T (i.e., they may be executed concurrently)."

Currently the Linux Kernel Memory Model gives an incorrect response
for the following litmus test:
C plain-WWC
{}
P0(int *x)
{
WRITE_ONCE(*x, 2);
}
P1(int *x, int *y)
{
int r1;
int r2;
int r3;
r1 = READ_ONCE(*x);
if (r1 == 2) {
smp_rmb();
r2 = *x;
}
smp_rmb();
r3 = READ_ONCE(*x);
WRITE_ONCE(*y, r3 - 1);
}
P2(int *x, int *y)
{
int r4;
r4 = READ_ONCE(*y);
if (r4 > 0)
WRITE_ONCE(*x, 1);
}
exists (x=2 /\ 1:r2=2 /\ 2:r4=1)
The memory model says that the plain read of *x in P1 races with the
WRITE_ONCE(*x) in P2.
The problem is that we have a write W and a read R related by neither
fre or rfe, but rather W ->coe W' ->rfe R, where W' is an intermediate
write (the WRITE_ONCE() in P0). In this situation there is no
particular ordering between W and R, so either a wr-vis link from W to
R or an rw-xbstar link from R to W would prove that the accesses
aren't concurrent.
But the LKMM only looks for a wr-vis link, which is equivalent to
assuming that W must execute before R. This is not necessarily true
on non-multicopy-atomic systems, as the WWC pattern demonstrates.
This patch changes the LKMM to accept either a wr-vis or a reverse
rw-xbstar link as a proof of non-concurrency.

Herbert Xu recently reported a problem concerning RCU and compiler
barriers. In the course of discussing the problem, he put forth a
litmus test which illustrated a serious defect in the Linux Kernel
Memory Model's data-race-detection code [1].
The defect was that the LKMM assumed visibility and executes-before
ordering of plain accesses had to be mediated by marked accesses. In
Herbert's litmus test this wasn't so, and the LKMM claimed the litmus
test was allowed and contained a data race although neither is true.
In fact, plain accesses can be ordered by fences even in the absence
of marked accesses. In most cases this doesn't matter, because most
fences only order accesses within a single thread. But the rcu-fence
relation is different; it can order (and induce visibility between)
accesses in different threads -- events which otherwise might be
concurrent. This makes it relevant to data-race detection.
This patch makes two changes to the memory model to incorporate the
new insight:
If a store is separated by a fence from another access,
the store is necessarily visible to the other access (as
reflected in the ww-vis and wr-vis relations). Similarly,
if a load is separated by a fence from another access then
the load necessarily executes before the other access (as
reflected in the rw-xbstar relation).
If a store is separated by a strong fence from a marked access
then it is necessarily visible to any access that executes
after the marked access (as reflected in the ww-vis and wr-vis
relations).
With these changes, the LKMM gives the desired result for Herbert's
litmus test and other related ones [2].

The rcu-fence relation in the Linux Kernel Memory Model is not well
named. It doesn't act like any other fence relation, in that it does
not relate events before a fence to events after that fence. All it
does is relate certain RCU events to one another (those that are
ordered by the RCU Guarantee); this induces an actual
strong-fence-like relation linking events preceding the first RCU
event to those following the second.
This patch renames rcu-fence, now called rcu-order. It adds a new
definition of rcu-fence, something which should have been present all
along because it is used in the rb relation. And it modifies the
fence and strong-fence relations by making them incorporate the new
rcu-fence.
As a result of this change, there is no longer any need to define
full-fence in the section for detecting data races. It can simply be
replaced by the updated strong-fence relation.
This change should have no effect on the operation of the memory model.

This patch adds data-race detection to the Linux-Kernel Memory Model.
As part of this effort, support is added for:

a new Preserved Program Order term: (addr ; [Plain] ; wmb)
Data races are marked with a special Flag warning in herd. It is
not guaranteed that the model will provide accurate predictions when a
data race is present.
The patch does not include documentation for the data-race detection
facility. The basic design has been explained in various emails, and

This commit checks that the return value of srcu_read_lock() is passed
to the matching srcu_read_unlock(), where "matching" is determined by
nesting. This check operates as follows:
1. srcu_read_lock() creates an integer token, which is stored into
the generated events.
2. srcu_read_unlock() records its second (token) argument into the
generated event.
3. A new herd primitive 'different-values' filters out pairs of events
with identical values from the relation passed as its argument.
4. The bell file applies the above primitive to the (srcu)
read-side-critical-section relation 'srcu-rscs' and flags non-empty
results.

Add support for SRCU. Herd creates srcu events and linux-kernel.def
associates them with three possible annotations (srcu-lock,
srcu-unlock, and sync-srcu) corresponding to the API routines
srcu_read_lock(), srcu_read_unlock(), and synchronize_srcu().
The linux-kernel.bell file now declares the annotations
and determines matching lock/unlock pairs delimiting SRCU read-side
critical sections, and it also checks for synchronize_srcu() calls
inside an RCU critical section (which would generate a "sleeping in
atomic context" error in real kernel code). The linux-kernel.cat file
now adds SRCU-induced ordering, analogous to the existing RCU-induced
ordering, to the gp and rcu-fence relations.
Curiously enough, these small changes to the model's .cat code are all
that is needed to describe SRCU.

In preparation for adding support for SRCU, refactor the definitions
of rcu-fence, rcu-rscsi, rcu-link, and rb by moving the po and po?
terms from the first two to the second two. An rcu-gp relation is
added; it is equivalent to gp with the po and po? terms removed.
This is necessary because for SRCU, we will have to use the loc
relation to check that the terms at the start and end of each disjunct
in the definition of rcu-fence refer to the same srcu_struct
location. If these terms are hidden behind po and po?, there's no way

"rcu-rscs", rename "rscs" to "rcu-rscsi", and remove the restriction
to only the outermost level of nesting.
The name change is needed for disambiguating RCU read-side critical
sections from SRCU read-side critical sections. Adding the "i" at the
end of "rcu-rscsi" emphasizes that the relation is inverted; it links
rcu_read_unlock() events to their corresponding preceding
rcu_read_lock() events.
The restriction to outermost nesting levels was never essential; it
was included mostly to show that it could be done. Rather than add
equivalent unnecessary code for SRCU lock nesting, it seemed better to
remove the existing code.

The https://github.com/paulmckrcu/litmus repository contains a large
number of C-language litmus tests that include "Result:" comments
predicting the verification result. This commit adds a number of scripts
that run tests on these litmus tests:
checkghlitmus.sh:
Runs all litmus tests in the https://github.com/paulmckrcu/litmus
archive that are C-language and that have "Result:" comment lines
documenting expected results, comparing the actual results to
those expected. Clones the repository if it has not already
been cloned into the "tools/memory-model/litmus" directory.
initlitmushist.sh
Run all litmus tests having no more than the specified number
of processes given a specified timeout, recording the results in
.litmus.out files. Clones the repository if it has not already
been cloned into the "tools/memory-model/litmus" directory.
newlitmushist.sh
For all new or updated litmus tests having no more than the
specified number of processes given a specified timeout, run
and record the results in .litmus.out files.
checklitmushist.sh
Run all litmus tests having .litmus.out files from previous
initlitmushist.sh or newlitmushist.sh runs, comparing the
herd output to that of the original runs.
The above scripts will run litmus tests concurrently, by default with
one job per available CPU. Giving any of these scripts the --help
argument will cause them to print usage information.
This commit also adds a number of helper scripts that are not intended
to be invoked from the command line:
cmplitmushist.sh: Compare the output of two different runs of the same
litmus test.
judgelitmus.sh: Compare the output of a litmus test to its "Result:"
comment line.
parseargs.sh: Parse command-line arguments.
runlitmushist.sh: Run the litmus tests whose pathnames are provided one
per line on standard input.
While in the area, this commit also makes the existing checklitmus.sh
and checkalllitmus.sh scripts use parseargs.sh in order to provide a
bit of uniformity. In addition, per-litmus-test status output is directed
to stdout, while end-of-test summary information is directed to stderr.
Finally, the error flag standardizes on "!!!" to assist those familiar
with rcutorture output.
The defaults for the parseargs.sh arguments may be overridden by using
environment variables: LKMM_DESTDIR for --destdir, LKMM_HERD_OPTIONS
for --herdoptions, LKMM_JOBS for --jobs, LKMM_PROCS for --procs, and
LKMM_TIMEOUT for --timeout.

The kernel documents smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() the following way:
"Place this after a lock-acquisition primitive to guarantee that
an UNLOCK+LOCK pair acts as a full barrier. This guarantee applies
if the UNLOCK and LOCK are executed by the same CPU or if the
UNLOCK and LOCK operate on the same lock variable."
Formalize in LKMM the above guarantee by defining (new) mb-links according
to the law:
([M] ; po ; [UL] ; (co | po) ; [LKW] ;
fencerel(After-unlock-lock) ; [M])
where the component ([UL] ; co ; [LKW]) identifies "UNLOCK+LOCK pairs on
the same lock variable" and the component ([UL] ; po ; [LKW]) identifies
"UNLOCK+LOCK pairs executed by the same CPU".
In particular, the LKMM forbids the following two behaviors (the second
litmus test below is based on:

More than one kernel developer has expressed the opinion that the LKMM
should enforce ordering of writes by locking. In other words, given
the following code:
WRITE_ONCE(x, 1);
spin_unlock(&s):
spin_lock(&s);
WRITE_ONCE(y, 1);
the stores to x and y should be propagated in order to all other CPUs,
even though those other CPUs might not access the lock s. In terms of
the memory model, this means expanding the cumul-fence relation.
Locks should also provide read-read (and read-write) ordering in a
similar way. Given:
READ_ONCE(x);
spin_unlock(&s);
spin_lock(&s);
READ_ONCE(y); // or WRITE_ONCE(y, 1);
the load of x should be executed before the load of (or store to) y.
The LKMM already provides this ordering, but it provides it even in
the case where the two accesses are separated by a release/acquire
pair of fences rather than unlock/lock. This would prevent
architectures from using weakly ordered implementations of release and
acquire, which seems like an unnecessary restriction. The patch
therefore removes the ordering requirement from the LKMM for that
case.
There are several arguments both for and against this change. Let us
refer to these enhanced ordering properties by saying that the LKMM
would require locks to be RCtso (a bit of a misnomer, but analogous to
RCpc and RCsc) and it would require ordinary acquire/release only to
be RCpc. (Note: In the following, the phrase "all supported
architectures" is meant not to include RISC-V. Although RISC-V is
indeed supported by the kernel, the implementation is still somewhat
in a state of flux and therefore statements about it would be
premature.)
Pros:
The kernel already provides RCtso ordering for locks on all
supported architectures, even though this is not stated
explicitly anywhere. Therefore the LKMM should formalize it.
In theory, guaranteeing RCtso ordering would reduce the need
for additional barrier-like constructs meant to increase the
ordering strength of locks.
Will Deacon and Peter Zijlstra are strongly in favor of
formalizing the RCtso requirement. Linus Torvalds and Will
would like to go even further, requiring locks to have RCsc
behavior (ordering preceding writes against later reads), but
they recognize that this would incur a noticeable performance
degradation on the POWER architecture. Linus also points out
that people have made the mistake, in the past, of assuming
that locking has stronger ordering properties than is
currently guaranteed, and this change would reduce the
likelihood of such mistakes.
Not requiring ordinary acquire/release to be any stronger than
RCpc may prove advantageous for future architectures, allowing
them to implement smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release()
with more efficient machine instructions than would be
possible if the operations had to be RCtso. Will and Linus
approve this rationale, hypothetical though it is at the
moment (it may end up affecting the RISC-V implementation).
The same argument may or may not apply to RMW-acquire/release;
see also the second Con entry below.
Linus feels that locks should be easy for people to use
without worrying about memory consistency issues, since they
are so pervasive in the kernel, whereas acquire/release is
much more of an "experts only" tool. Requiring locks to be
RCtso is a step in this direction.
Cons:
Andrea Parri and Luc Maranget think that locks should have the
same ordering properties as ordinary acquire/release (indeed,
Luc points out that the names "acquire" and "release" derive
from the usage of locks). Andrea points out that having
different ordering properties for different forms of acquires
and releases is not only unnecessary, it would also be
confusing and unmaintainable.
Locks are constructed from lower-level primitives, typically
RMW-acquire (for locking) and ordinary release (for unlock).
It is illogical to require stronger ordering properties from
the high-level operations than from the low-level operations
they comprise. Thus, this change would make
while (cmpxchg_acquire(&s, 0, 1) != 0)
cpu_relax();
an incorrect implementation of spin_lock(&s) as far as the
LKMM is concerned. In theory this weakness can be ameliorated
by changing the LKMM even further, requiring
RMW-acquire/release also to be RCtso (which it already is on
all supported architectures).
As far as I know, nobody has singled out any examples of code
in the kernel that actually relies on locks being RCtso.
(People mumble about RCU and the scheduler, but nobody has
pointed to any actual code. If there are any real cases,
their number is likely quite small.) If RCtso ordering is not
needed, why require it?
A handful of locking constructs (qspinlocks, qrwlocks, and
mcs_spinlocks) are built on top of smp_cond_load_acquire()
instead of an RMW-acquire instruction. It currently provides
only the ordinary acquire semantics, not the stronger ordering
this patch would require of locks. In theory this could be
ameliorated by requiring smp_cond_load_acquire() in
combination with ordinary release also to be RCtso (which is
currently true on all supported architectures).
On future weakly ordered architectures, people may be able to
implement locks in a non-RCtso fashion with significant
performance improvement. Meeting the RCtso requirement would
necessarily add run-time overhead.
Overall, the technical aspects of these arguments seem relatively
minor, and it appears mostly to boil down to a matter of opinion.
Since the opinions of senior kernel maintainers such as Linus,
Peter, and Will carry more weight than those of Luc and Andrea, this
patch changes the model in accordance with the maintainers' wishes.
