Patch series "rbtree: Cache leftmost node internally", v4.
A series to extending rbtrees to internally cache the leftmost node such
that we can have fast overlap check optimization for all interval tree
users[1]. The benefits of this series are that:
(i) Unify users that do internal leftmost node caching.
(ii) Optimize all interval tree users.
(iii) Convert at least two new users (epoll and procfs) to the new interface.
This patch (of 16):
Red-black tree semantics imply that nodes with smaller or greater (or
equal for duplicates) keys always be to the left and right,
respectively. For the kernel this is extremely evident when considering
our rb_first() semantics. Enabling lookups for the smallest node in the
tree in O(1) can save a good chunk of cycles in not having to walk down
the tree each time. To this end there are a few core users that
explicitly do this, such as the scheduler and rtmutexes. There is also
the desire for interval trees to have this optimization allowing faster
overlap checking.
This patch introduces a new 'struct rb_root_cached' which is just the
root with a cached pointer to the leftmost node. The reason why the
regular rb_root was not extended instead of adding a new structure was
that this allows the user to have the choice between memory footprint
and actual tree performance. The new wrappers on top of the regular
rb_root calls are:
- rb_first_cached(cached_root) -- which is a fast replacement
for rb_first.
- rb_insert_color_cached(node, cached_root, new)
- rb_erase_cached(node, cached_root)
In addition, augmented cached interfaces are also added for basic
insertion and deletion operations; which becomes important for the
interval tree changes.
With the exception of the inserts, which adds a bool for updating the
new leftmost, the interfaces are kept the same. To this end, porting rb
users to the cached version becomes really trivial, and keeping current
rbtree semantics for users that don't care about the optimization
requires zero overhead.

Prepare to mark sensitive kernel structures for randomization by making
sure they're using designated initializers. These were identified
during allyesconfig builds of x86, arm, and arm64, with most initializer
fixes extracted from grsecurity.

Change the insert and erase code such that lockless searches are
non-fatal.
In and of itself an rbtree cannot be correctly searched while
in-modification, we can however provide weaker guarantees that will
allow the rbtree to be used in conjunction with other techniques, such
as latches; see 9b0fd802e8 ("seqcount: Add raw_write_seqcount_latch()").
For this to work we need the following guarantees from the rbtree
code:
1) a lockless reader must not see partial stores, this would allow it
to observe nodes that are invalid memory.
2) there must not be (temporary) loops in the tree structure in the
modifier's program order, this would cause a lookup which
interrupts the modifier to get stuck indefinitely.
For 1) we must use WRITE_ONCE() for all updates to the tree structure;
in particular this patch only does rb_{left,right} as those are the
only element required for simple searches.
It generates slightly worse code, probably because volatile. But in
pointer chasing heavy code a few instructions more should not matter.
For 2) I have carefully audited the code and drawn every intermediate
link state and not found a loop.

The comment is copied from Documentation/rbtree.txt, but this comment is
so important that it should also be in the code.

lib/rbtree.c declared __rb_erase_color() as __always_inline void, and
then exported it with EXPORT_SYMBOL.
This was because __rb_erase_color() must be exported for augmented
rbtree users, but it must also be inlined into rb_erase() so that the
dummy callback can get optimized out of that call site.
(Actually with a modern compiler, none of the dummy callback functions
should even be generated as separate text functions).
The above usage is legal C, but it was unusual enough for some compilers
to warn about it. This change makes things more explicit, with a static
__always_inline ____rb_erase_color function for use in rb_erase(), and a
separate non-inline __rb_erase_color function for use in
rb_erase_augmented call sites.

rb_erase_augmented() is a static function annotated with
__always_inline. This causes a compile failure when attempting to use
the rbtree implementation as a library (e.g. kvm tool):
rbtree_augmented.h:125:24: error: expected `=', `,', `;', `asm' or `__attribute__' before `void'
Include linux/compiler.h in rbtree_augmented.h so that the __always_inline
macro is resolved correctly.

Provide rb_insert_augmented() and rb_erase_augmented() through a new
rbtree_augmented.h include file. rb_erase_augmented() is defined there as
an __always_inline function, in order to allow inlining of augmented
rbtree callbacks into it. Since this generates a relatively large
function, each augmented rbtree user should make sure to have a single
call site.
