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.

The QUEUED_LOCK_STAT option to report queued spinlocks event counts
was previously allowed only on x86 architecture. To make the locking
event counting code more useful, it is now renamed to a more generic
LOCK_EVENT_COUNTS config option. This new option will be available to
all the architectures that use qspinlock at the moment.
Other locking code can now start to use the generic locking event
counting code by including lock_events.h and put the new locking event
names into the lock_events_list.h header file.
My experience with lock event counting is that it gives valuable insight
on how the locking code works and what can be done to make it better. I
would like to extend this benefit to other locking code like mutex and
rwsem in the near future.
The PV qspinlock specific code will stay in qspinlock_stat.h. The
locking event counters will now reside in the <debugfs>/lock_event_counts
directory.

The percpu event counts used by qspinlock code can be useful for
other locking code as well. So a new set of lockevent_* counting APIs
is introduced with the lock event names extracted out into the new
lock_events_list.h header file for easier addition in the future.
The existing qstat_inc() calls are replaced by either lockevent_inc() or
lockevent_cond_inc() calls.
The qstat_hop() call is renamed to lockevent_pv_hop(). The "reset_counters"
debugfs file is also renamed to ".reset_counts".

Currently, the DEBUG_RWSEMS_WARN_ON() macro just dumps a stack trace

process.
Enhance the DEBUG_RWSEMS_WARN_ON() macro to also show the current

about what is wrong with the rwsem. The debug_locks_off() function is
called as is done inside DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON().

When rwsem_down_read_failed*() return, the read lock is acquired
indirectly by others. So debug checks are added in __down_read() and

Currently, we have two different implementation of rwsem:
1) CONFIG_RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK (rwsem-spinlock.c)
2) CONFIG_RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM (rwsem-xadd.c)
As we are going to use a single generic implementation for rwsem-xadd.c
and no architecture-specific code will be needed, there is no point
in keeping two different implementations of rwsem. In most cases, the
performance of rwsem-spinlock.c will be worse. It also doesn't get all
the performance tuning and optimizations that had been implemented in
rwsem-xadd.c over the years.
For simplication, we are going to remove rwsem-spinlock.c and make all
architectures use a single implementation of rwsem - rwsem-xadd.c.
All references to RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK and RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM
in the code are removed.

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.

Currently, lock_torture_cleanup() uses the values of cxt.lwsa and cxt.lrsa
to detect bad parameters that prevented locktorture from initializing,
let alone running. In this case, lock_torture_cleanup() does no cleanup
aside from invoking torture_cleanup_begin() and torture_cleanup_end(),
as required to permit future torture tests to run. However, this
heuristic fails if the run with bad parameters was preceded by a previous
run that actually ran: In this case, both cxt.lwsa and cxt.lrsa will
remain non-zero, which means that the current lock_torture_cleanup()
invocation will be unable to detect the fact that it should skip cleanup,
which can result in charming outcomes such as double frees.
This commit therefore NULLs out both cxt.lwsa and cxt.lrsa at the end
of any run that actually ran.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest part of this tree is the new auto-generated atomics API
wrappers by Mark Rutland.
The primary motivation was to allow instrumentation without uglifying
the primary source code.
The linecount increase comes from adding the auto-generated files to
the Git space as well:
include/asm-generic/atomic-instrumented.h | 1689 ++++++++++++++++--
include/asm-generic/atomic-long.h | 1174 ++++++++++---
include/linux/atomic-fallback.h | 2295 +++++++++++++++++++++++++
include/linux/atomic.h | 1241 +------------
I preferred this approach, so that the full call stack of the (already
complex) locking APIs is still fully visible in 'git grep'.
But if this is excessive we could certainly hide them.
There's a separate build-time mechanism to determine whether the
headers are out of date (they should never be stale if we do our job
right).
Anyway, nothing from this should be visible to regular kernel
developers.
Other changes:
- Add support for dynamic keys, which removes a source of false
positives in the workqueue code, among other things (Bart Van
Assche)
- Updates to tools/memory-model (Andrea Parri, Paul E. McKenney)
- qspinlock, wake_q and lockdep micro-optimizations (Waiman Long)
- misc other updates and enhancements"

A shortcoming of the current lockdep implementation is that it requires
lock keys to be allocated statically. That forces all instances of lock
objects that occur in a given data structure to share a lock key. Since
lock dependency analysis groups lock objects per key sharing lock keys
can cause false positive lockdep reports. Make it possible to avoid
such false positive reports by allowing lock keys to be allocated
dynamically. Require that dynamically allocated lock keys are
registered before use by calling lockdep_register_key(). Complain about
attempts to register the same lock key pointer twice without calling
lockdep_unregister_key() between successive registration calls.
The purpose of the new lock_keys_hash[] data structure that keeps
track of all dynamic keys is twofold:
- Verify whether the lockdep_register_key() and lockdep_unregister_key()
functions are used correctly.
- Avoid that lockdep_init_map() complains when encountering a dynamically
allocated key.

Instead of leaving lock classes that are no longer in use in the
lock_classes array, reuse entries from that array that are no longer in
use. Maintain a linked list of free lock classes with list head
'free_lock_class'. Only add freed lock classes to the free_lock_classes
list after a grace period to avoid that a lock_classes[] element would
be reused while an RCU reader is accessing it. Since the lockdep
selftests run in a context where sleeping is not allowed and since the
selftests require that lock resetting/zapping works with debug_locks
off, make the behavior of lockdep_free_key_range() and
lockdep_reset_lock() depend on whether or not these are called from
the context of the lockdep selftests.
Thanks to Peter for having shown how to modify get_pending_free()
such that that function does not have to sleep.

commit 56222b212e ("futex: Drop hb->lock before enqueueing on the
rtmutex") changed the locking rules in the futex code so that the hash
bucket lock is not longer held while the waiter is enqueued into the
rtmutex wait list. This made the lock and the unlock path symmetric, but
unfortunately the possible early exit from __rt_mutex_proxy_start() due to
a detected deadlock was not updated accordingly. That allows a concurrent
unlocker to observe inconsitent state which triggers the warning in the
unlock path.
futex_lock_pi() futex_unlock_pi()
lock(hb->lock)
queue(hb_waiter) lock(hb->lock)
lock(rtmutex->wait_lock)
unlock(hb->lock)
// acquired hb->lock
hb_waiter = futex_top_waiter()
lock(rtmutex->wait_lock)
__rt_mutex_proxy_start()
---> fail
remove(rtmutex_waiter);
---> returns -EDEADLOCK
unlock(rtmutex->wait_lock)
// acquired wait_lock
wake_futex_pi()
rt_mutex_next_owner()
--> returns NULL
--> WARN
lock(hb->lock)
unqueue(hb_waiter)
The problem is caused by the remove(rtmutex_waiter) in the failure case of
__rt_mutex_proxy_start() as this lets the unlocker observe a waiter in the
hash bucket but no waiter on the rtmutex, i.e. inconsistent state.
The original commit handles this correctly for the other early return cases
(timeout, signal) by delaying the removal of the rtmutex waiter until the
returning task reacquired the hash bucket lock.
Treat the failure case of __rt_mutex_proxy_start() in the same way and let
the existing cleanup code handle the eventual handover of the rtmutex
gracefully. The regular rt_mutex_proxy_start() gains the rtmutex waiter
removal for the failure case, so that the other callsites are still
operating correctly.
Add proper comments to the code so all these details are fully documented.
Thanks to Peter for helping with the analysis and writing the really
valuable code comments.

Four queue nodes per CPU are allocated to enable up to 4 nesting levels
using the per-CPU nodes. Nested NMIs are possible in some architectures.
Still it is very unlikely that we will ever hit more than 4 nested
levels with contention in the slowpath.
When that rare condition happens, however, it is likely that the system
will hang or crash shortly after that. It is not good and we need to
handle this exception case.
This is done by spinning directly on the lock using repeated trylock.
This alternative code path should only be used when there is nested
NMIs. Assuming that the locks used by those NMI handlers will not be
heavily contended, a simple TAS locking should work out.

Some users, specifically futexes and rwsems, required fixes
that allowed the callers to be safe when wakeups occur before
they are expected by wake_up_q(). Such scenarios also play
games and rely on reference counting, and until now were
pivoting on wake_q doing it. With the wake_q_add() call being
moved down, this can no longer be the case. As such we end up
with a a double task refcounting overhead; and these callers
care enough about this (being rather core-ish).
This patch introduces a wake_q_add_safe() call that serves
for callers that have already done refcounting and therefore the
task is 'safe' from wake_q point of view (int that it requires
reference throughout the entire queue/>wakeup cycle). In the one
case it has internal reference counting, in the other case it
consumes the reference counting.

Beyond a certain point in the CPU-hotplug offline process, timers get
stranded on the outgoing CPU, and won't fire until that CPU comes back
online, which might well be never. This commit therefore adds a hook
in torture_onoff_init() that is invoked from torture_offline(), which
rcutorture uses to occasionally wait for a grace period. This should
result in failures for RCU implementations that rely on stranded timers
eventually firing in the absence of the CPU coming back online.

It was found that when debug_locks was turned off because of a problem
found by the lockdep code, the system performance could drop quite
significantly when the lock_stat code was also configured into the
kernel. For instance, parallel kernel build time on a 4-socket x86-64
server nearly doubled.
Further analysis into the cause of the slowdown traced back to the
frequent call to debug_locks_off() from the __lock_acquired() function
probably due to some inconsistent lockdep states with debug_locks
off. The debug_locks_off() function did an unconditional atomic xchg
to write a 0 value into debug_locks which had already been set to 0.
This led to severe cacheline contention in the cacheline that held
debug_locks. As debug_locks is being referenced in quite a few different
places in the kernel, this greatly slow down the system performance.
To prevent that trashing of debug_locks cacheline, lock_acquired()
and lock_contended() now checks the state of debug_locks before
proceeding. The debug_locks_off() function is also modified to check
debug_locks before calling __debug_locks_off().

The qspinlock code supports up to 4 levels of slowpath nesting using
four per-CPU mcs_spinlock structures. For 64-bit architectures, they
fit nicely in one 64-byte cacheline.
For para-virtualized (PV) qspinlocks it needs to store more information
in the per-CPU node structure than there is space for. It uses a trick
to use a second cacheline to hold the extra information that it needs.
So PV qspinlock needs to access two extra cachelines for its information
whereas the native qspinlock code only needs one extra cacheline.
Freshly added counter profiling of the qspinlock code, however, revealed
that it was very rare to use more than two levels of slowpath nesting.
So it doesn't make sense to penalize PV qspinlock code in order to have
four mcs_spinlock structures in the same cacheline to optimize for a case
in the native qspinlock code that rarely happens.
Extend the per-CPU node structure to have two more long words when PV
qspinlock locks are configured to hold the extra data that it needs.
As a result, the PV qspinlock code will enjoy the same benefit of using
just one extra cacheline like the native counterpart, for most cases.

Queued spinlock supports up to 4 levels of lock slowpath nesting -
user context, soft IRQ, hard IRQ and NMI. However, we are not sure how
often the nesting happens.
So add 3 more per-CPU stat counters to track the number of instances where
nesting index goes to 1, 2 and 3 respectively.
On a dual-socket 64-core 128-thread Zen server, the following were the
new stat counter values under different circumstances:
State slowpath index1 index2 index3
----- -------- ------ ------ -------
After bootup 1,012,150 82 0 0
After parallel build + perf-top 125,195,009 82 0 0
So the chance of having more than 2 levels of nesting is extremely low.

On x86 we cannot do fetch_or() with a single instruction and thus end up
using a cmpxchg loop, this reduces determinism. Replace the fetch_or()
with a composite operation: tas-pending + load.
Using two instructions of course opens a window we previously did not
have. Consider the scenario:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
1) lock
trylock -> (0,0,1)
2) lock
trylock /* fail */
3) unlock -> (0,0,0)
4) lock
trylock -> (0,0,1)
5) tas-pending -> (0,1,1)
load-val <- (0,1,0) from 3
6) clear-pending-set-locked -> (0,0,1)
FAIL: _2_ owners
where 5) is our new composite operation. When we consider each part of
the qspinlock state as a separate variable (as we can when
_Q_PENDING_BITS == 8) then the above is entirely possible, because
tas-pending will only RmW the pending byte, so the later load is able
to observe prior tail and lock state (but not earlier than its own
trylock, which operates on the whole word, due to coherence).
To avoid this we need 2 things:
- the load must come after the tas-pending (obviously, otherwise it
can trivially observe prior state).
- the tas-pending must be a full word RmW instruction, it cannot be an XCHGB for
example, such that we cannot observe other state prior to setting
pending.
On x86 we can realize this by using "LOCK BTS m32, r32" for
tas-pending followed by a regular load.
Note that observing later state is not a problem:
- if we fail to observe a later unlock, we'll simply spin-wait for
that store to become visible.
- if we observe a later xchg_tail(), there is no difference from that
xchg_tail() having taken place before the tas-pending.

A sizable portion of the CPU cycles spent on the __lock_acquire() is used
up by the atomic increment of the class->ops stat counter. By taking it out
from the lock_class structure and changing it to a per-cpu per-lock-class
counter, we can reduce the amount of cacheline contention on the class
structure when multiple CPUs are trying to acquire locks of the same
class simultaneously.
To limit the increase in memory consumption because of the percpu nature
of that counter, it is now put back under the CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP
config option. So the memory consumption increase will only occur if
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP is defined. The lock_class structure, however,
is reduced in size by 16 bytes on 64-bit archs after ops removal and
a minor restructuring of the fields.
This patch also fixes a bug in the increment code as the counter is of
the 'unsigned long' type, but atomic_inc() was used to increment it.

If requesting b_mutex fails with -EDEADLK, the error variable
is reassigned to the return value from calling ww_mutex_lock
on a_mutex again. If this call fails, a_mutex is not locked.
It is, however, unconditionally unlocked subsequently, causing
the reported warning. Fix the problem by using two error variables.
With this change, the selftest still fails as follows:
cyclic deadlock not resolved, ret[7/8] = -35

The static __lock_acquire() function has only two callers:
1) lock_acquire()
2) reacquire_held_locks()
In lock_acquire(), raw_local_irq_save() is called beforehand. So
IRQs must have been disabled. So the check:
DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(!irqs_disabled())
is kind of redundant in this case. So move the above check
to reacquire_held_locks() to eliminate redundant code in the
lock_acquire() path.

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.

It was discovered that a constant stream of readers with occassional
writers pounding on a rwsem may cause many of the readers to enter the
slowpath unnecessarily thus increasing latency and lowering performance.
In the current code, a reader entering the slowpath critical section
will unconditionally set the WAITING_BIAS, if not set yet, and clear
its active count even if no one is in the wait queue and no writer
is present. This causes some incoming readers to observe the presence
of waiters in the wait queue and hence have to go into the slowpath
themselves.
With sufficient numbers of readers and a relatively short lock hold time,
the WAITING_BIAS may be repeatedly turned on and off and a substantial
portion of the readers will go into the slowpath sustaining a rather
long queue in the wait queue spinlock and repeated WAITING_BIAS on/off
cycle until the logjam is broken opportunistically.
To avoid this situation from happening, an additional check is added to
detect the special case that the reader in the critical section is the
only one in the wait queue and no writer is present. When that happens,
it can just exit the slowpath and return immediately as its active count
has already been set in the lock. Other incoming readers won't observe
the presence of waiters and so will not be forced into the slowpath.
The issue was found in a customer site where they had an application
that pounded on the pread64 syscalls heavily on an XFS filesystem. The
application was run in a recent 4-socket boxes with a lot of CPUs. They
saw significant spinlock contention in the rwsem_down_read_failed() call.
With this patch applied, the system CPU usage went down from 85% to 57%,
and the spinlock contention in the pread64 syscalls was gone.

- Restructure of lockdep and latency tracers
This is the biggest change. Joel Fernandes restructured the hooks
from irqs and preemption disabling and enabling. He got rid of
a lot of the preprocessor #ifdef mess that they caused.
He turned both lockdep and the latency tracers to use trace events
inserted in the preempt/irqs disabling paths. But unfortunately,
these started to cause issues in corner cases. Thus, parts of the
code was reverted back to where lockde and the latency tracers
just get called directly (without using the trace events).
But because the original change cleaned up the code very nicely
we kept that, as well as the trace events for preempt and irqs
disabling, but they are limited to not being called in NMIs.
- Have trace events use SRCU for "rcu idle" calls. This was required
for the preempt/irqs off trace events. But it also had to not
allow them to be called in NMI context. Waiting till Paul makes
an NMI safe SRCU API.
- New notrace SRCU API to allow trace events to use SRCU.
- Addition of mcount-nop option support
- SPDX headers replacing GPL templates.
- Various other fixes and clean ups.
- Some fixes are marked for stable, but were not fully tested
before the merge window opened.

Pull RCU updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A large update to RCU:
Preparatory work for consolidating the RCU flavors:
- Introduce grace-period sequence numbers to the RCU-bh, RCU-preempt,
and RCU-sched flavors, replacing the old ->gpnum and ->completed
pair of fields.
This change allows lockless code to obtain the complete
grace-period state with a single READ_ONCE(), which is needed to
maintain tolerable lock contention during the upcoming
consolidation of the three RCU flavors.
Note that grace-period sequence numbers are already used by
rcu_barrier(), expedited RCU grace periods, and SRCU, and are thus
already heavily used and well-tested. Joel Fernandes contributed a
number of excellent fixes and improvements.
- Clean up some grace-period-reporting loose ends, including
improving the handling of quiescent states from offline CPUs and
fixing some false-positive WARN_ON_ONCE() invocations.
(Strictly speaking, the WARN_ON_ONCE() invocations were quite
correct, but their invariants were (harmlessly) violated by the
earlier sloppy handling of quiescent states from offline CPUs.)
In addition, improve grace-period forward-progress guarantees so as
to allow removal of fail-safe checks that required otherwise
needless lock acquisitions. Finally, add more diagnostics to help
debug the upcoming consolidation of the RCU-bh, RCU-preempt, and
RCU-sched flavors.

- SRCU updates

Joel Fernandes created a nice patch that cleaned up the duplicate hooks used
by lockdep and irqsoff latency tracer. It made both use tracepoints. But it
caused lockdep to trigger several false positives. We have not figured out
why yet, but removing lockdep from using the trace event hooks and just call
its helper functions directly (like it use to), makes the problem go away.
This is a partial revert of the clean up patch c3bc8fd637 ("tracing:
Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage") that adds direct
calls for lockdep, but also keeps most of the clean up done to get rid of
the horrible preprocessor if statements.

Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
This patch detaches the preemptirq tracepoints from the tracers and
keeps it separate.
Advantages:
* Lockdep and irqsoff event can now run in parallel since they no longer
have their own calls.
* This unifies the usecase of adding hooks to an irqsoff and irqson
event, and a preemptoff and preempton event.
3 users of the events exist:
- Lockdep
- irqsoff and preemptoff tracers
- irqs and preempt trace events
The unification cleans up several ifdefs and makes the code in preempt
tracer and irqsoff tracers simpler. It gets rid of all the horrific
ifdeferry around PROVE_LOCKING and makes configuration of the different
users of the tracepoints more easy and understandable. It also gets rid
of the time_* function calls from the lockdep hooks used to call into
the preemptirq tracer which is not needed anymore. The negative delta in
lines of code in this patch is quite large too.
In the patch we introduce a new CONFIG option PREEMPTIRQ_TRACEPOINTS
as a single point for registering probes onto the tracepoints. With
this,
the web of config options for preempt/irq toggle tracepoints and its
users becomes:
PREEMPT_TRACER PREEMPTIRQ_EVENTS IRQSOFF_TRACER PROVE_LOCKING
| | \ | |
\ (selects) / \ \ (selects) /
TRACE_PREEMPT_TOGGLE ----> TRACE_IRQFLAGS
\ /
\ (depends on) /
PREEMPTIRQ_TRACEPOINTS
Other than the performance tests mentioned in the previous patch, I also
ran the locking API test suite. I verified that all tests cases are
passing.
I also injected issues by not registering lockdep probes onto the
tracepoints and I see failures to confirm that the probes are indeed
working.

no need to disable preemption in uses of get_lock_stats anyway since

A patchset worked out together with Peter Zijlstra. Ingo is OK with taking
it through the DRM tree:
This is a small fallout from a work to allow batching WW mutex locks and
unlocks.
Our Wound-Wait mutexes actually don't use the Wound-Wait algorithm but
the Wait-Die algorithm. One could perhaps rename those mutexes tree-wide to
"Wait-Die mutexes" or "Deadlock Avoidance mutexes". Another approach suggested
here is to implement also the "Wound-Wait" algorithm as a per-WW-class
choice, as it has advantages in some cases. See for example
http://www.mathcs.emory.edu/~cheung/Courses/554/Syllabus/8-recv+serial/deadlock-compare.html
Now Wound-Wait is a preemptive algorithm, and the preemption is implemented
using a lazy scheme: If a wounded transaction is about to go to sleep on
a contended WW mutex, we return -EDEADLK. That is sufficient for deadlock
prevention. Since with WW mutexes we also require the aborted transaction to
sleep waiting to lock the WW mutex it was aborted on, this choice also provides
a suitable WW mutex to sleep on. If we were to return -EDEADLK on the first
WW mutex lock after the transaction was wounded whether the WW mutex was
contended or not, the transaction might frequently be restarted without a wait,
which is far from optimal. Note also that with the lazy preemption scheme,
contrary to Wait-Die there will be no rollbacks on lock contention of locks
held by a transaction that has completed its locking sequence.
The modeset locks are then changed from Wait-Die to Wound-Wait since the
typical locking pattern of those locks very well matches the criterion for
a substantial reduction in the number of rollbacks. For reservation objects,
the benefit is more unclear at this point and they remain using Wait-Die.

The current Wound-Wait mutex algorithm is actually not Wound-Wait but
Wait-Die. Implement also Wound-Wait as a per-ww-class choice. Wound-Wait
is, contrary to Wait-Die a preemptive algorithm and is known to generate
fewer backoffs. Testing reveals that this is true if the
number of simultaneous contending transactions is small.
As the number of simultaneous contending threads increases, Wait-Wound
becomes inferior to Wait-Die in terms of elapsed time.
Possibly due to the larger number of held locks of sleeping transactions.
Update documentation and callers.

This commit adds "#define pr_fmt(fmt) fmt" to the torture-test files
in order to keep the current dmesg format. Once Joe's commits have
hit mainline, these definitions will be changed in order to automatically
generate the dmesg line prefix that the scripts expect. This will have
the beneficial side-effect of allowing printk() formats to be used more
widely and of shortening some pr_*() lines.

Some bugs reproduce quickly only at high CPU-hotplug rates, so the
rcutorture TREE03 scenario now has only 200 milliseconds spacing between
CPU-hotplug operations. At this rate, the torture-test pair of console
messages per operation becomes a bit voluminous. This commit therefore
converts the torture-test set of "verbose" kernel-boot arguments from
bool to int, and prints the extra console messages only when verbose=2.
The default is still verbose=1.

Pull locking fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of fixes and updates for the locking code:
- Prevent lockdep from updating irq state within its own code and
thereby confusing itself.
- Buid fix for older GCCs which mistreat anonymous unions
- Add a missing lockdep annotation in down_read_non_onwer() which
causes up_read_non_owner() to emit a lockdep splat
- Remove the custom alpha dec_and_lock() implementation which is
incorrect in terms of ordering and use the generic one.
The remaining two commits are not strictly fixes. They provide irqsave
variants of atomic_dec_and_lock() and refcount_dec_and_lock(). These
are required to merge the relevant updates and cleanups into different
maintainer trees for 4.19, so routing them into mainline without
actual users is the sanest approach.
They should have been in -rc1, but last weekend I took the liberty to
just avoid computers in order to regain some mental sanity"

While debugging where things were going wrong with mapping
enabling/disabling interrupts with the lockdep state and actual real
enabling and disabling interrupts, I had to silent the IRQ
disabling/enabling in debug_check_no_locks_freed() because it was
always showing up as it was called before the splat was.
Use raw_local_irq_save/restore() for not only debug_check_no_locks_freed()
but for all internal lockdep functions, as they hide useful information
about where interrupts were used incorrectly last.

Looking into the rwsem.c file, it was discovered that the corresponding

This is fixed now, and the warning should be gone.

To work properly with the rwsem debug code, we need to annotate that the
rwsem ownership is unknown during the tranfer period until a brave soul
comes forward to acquire the ownership. During that period, optimistic
spinning will be disabled.

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.

Calling lockdep_print_held_locks() on a running thread is considered unsafe.
Since all callers should follow that rule and the sanity check is not heavy,
this patch moves the sanity check to inside lockdep_print_held_locks().
As a side effect of this patch, the number of locks held by running threads
will be printed as well. This change will be preferable when we want to
know which threads might be relevant to a problem but are unable to print
any clues because that thread is running.

Currently, the qspinlock_stat code tracks only statistical counts in the
PV qspinlock code. However, it may also be useful to track the number
of locking operations done via the pending code vs. the MCS lock queue
slowpath for the non-PV case.
The qspinlock stat code is modified to do that. The stat counter
pv_lock_slowpath is renamed to lock_slowpath so that it can be used by
both the PV and non-PV cases.

The qspinlock slowpath must ensure that the MCS node is fully initialised
before it can be reached by another other CPU. This is currently enforced
by using a RELEASE operation when updating the tail and also when linking
the node into the waitqueue, since the control dependency off xchg_tail
is insufficient to enforce sufficient ordering, see:
95bcade33a ("locking/qspinlock: Ensure node is initialised before updating prev->next")
Back-to-back RELEASE operations may be expensive on some architectures,
particularly those that implement them using fences under the hood. We
can replace the two RELEASE operations with a single smp_wmb() fence and
use RELAXED operations for the subsequent publishing of the node.

For qspinlocks on ARM64, we would like to use WFE instead
of purely spinning. Qspinlocks internally have lock
contenders spin on an MCS lock.
Update arch_mcs_spin_lock_contended() such that it uses
the new smp_cond_load_acquire() so that ARM64 can also
override this spin loop with its own implementation using WFE.
On x86, this can also be cheaper than spinning on
smp_load_acquire().

When a queued locker reaches the head of the queue, it claims the lock
by setting _Q_LOCKED_VAL in the lockword. If there isn't contention, it
must also clear the tail as part of this operation so that subsequent
lockers can avoid taking the slowpath altogether.
Currently this is expressed as a cmpxchg() loop that practically only
runs up to two iterations. This is confusing to the reader and unhelpful
to the compiler. Rewrite the cmpxchg() loop without the loop, so that a
failed cmpxchg() implies that there is contention and we just need to
write to _Q_LOCKED_VAL without considering the rest of the lockword.

The qspinlock locking slowpath utilises a "pending" bit as a simple form
of an embedded test-and-set lock that can avoid the overhead of explicit
queuing in cases where the lock is held but uncontended. This bit is
managed using a cmpxchg() loop which tries to transition the uncontended
lock word from (0,0,0) -> (0,0,1) or (0,0,1) -> (0,1,1).
Unfortunately, the cmpxchg() loop is unbounded and lockers can be starved
indefinitely if the lock word is seen to oscillate between unlocked
(0,0,0) and locked (0,0,1). This could happen if concurrent lockers are
able to take the lock in the cmpxchg() loop without queuing and pass it
around amongst themselves.
This patch fixes the problem by unconditionally setting _Q_PENDING_VAL
using atomic_fetch_or, and then inspecting the old value to see whether
we need to spin on the current lock owner, or whether we now effectively
hold the lock. The tricky scenario is when concurrent lockers end up
queuing on the lock and the lock becomes available, causing us to see
a lockword of (n,0,0). With pending now set, simply queuing could lead
to deadlock as the head of the queue may not have observed the pending
flag being cleared. Conversely, if the head of the queue did observe
pending being cleared, then it could transition the lock from (n,0,0) ->
(0,0,1) meaning that any attempt to "undo" our setting of the pending
bit could race with a concurrent locker trying to set it.
We handle this race by preserving the pending bit when taking the lock
after reaching the head of the queue and leaving the tail entry intact
if we saw pending set, because we know that the tail is going to be
updated shortly.

If a locker taking the qspinlock slowpath reads a lock value indicating
that only the pending bit is set, then it will spin whilst the
concurrent pending->locked transition takes effect.
Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that such a transition will ever be
observed since concurrent lockers could continuously set pending and
hand over the lock amongst themselves, leading to starvation. Whilst
this would probably resolve in practice, it means that it is not
possible to prove liveness properties about the lock and means that lock
acquisition time is unbounded.
Rather than removing the pending->locked spinning from the slowpath
altogether (which has been shown to heavily penalise a 2-threaded
locking stress test on x86), this patch replaces the explicit spinning
with a call to atomic_cond_read_relaxed and allows the architecture to
provide a bound on the number of spins. For architectures that can
respond to changes in cacheline state in their smp_cond_load implementation,
it should be sufficient to use the default bound of 1.

'struct __qspinlock' provides a handy union of fields so that
subcomponents of the lockword can be accessed by name, without having to
manage shifts and masks explicitly and take endianness into account.
This is useful in qspinlock.h and also potentially in arch headers, so
move the 'struct __qspinlock' into 'struct qspinlock' and kill the extra
definition.

The lock debug output in print_lock() has a few shortcomings:
- It prints the hlock->acquire_ip field in %px and %pS format. That's
redundant information.
- It lacks information about the lock object itself. The lock class is
not helpful to identify a particular instance of a lock.
Change the output so it prints:
- hlock->instance to allow identification of a particular lock instance.
- only the %pS format of hlock->ip_acquire which is sufficient to decode
the actual code line with faddr2line.
The resulting output is:

In -RT task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() may return with -EAGAIN due to
(->pi_blocked_on == PI_WAKEUP_INPROGRESS) before it added itself as a
waiter. In such a case remove_waiter() must not be called because without a
waiter it will trigger the BUG_ON() statement.
This was initially reported by Yimin Deng. Thomas Gleixner fixed it then
with an explicit check for waiters before calling remove_waiter().
Instead of an explicit NULL check before calling rt_mutex_top_waiter() make
the function return NULL if there are no waiters. With that fixed the now
pointless NULL check is removed from rt_mutex_slowlock().

This happens with the following even sequence:
preempt_schedule_irq();
local_irq_enable();
__schedule():
local_irq_disable(); // irq off
...
rcu_note_context_switch():
rcu_note_preempt_context_switch():
rcu_read_unlock_special():
local_irq_save(flags);
...
raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(...,flags); // irq remains off
rt_mutex_futex_unlock():
raw_spin_lock_irq();
...
raw_spin_unlock_irq(); // accidentally set irq on
<return to __schedule()>
rq_lock():
raw_spin_lock(); // acquiring rq->lock with irq on
which means rq->lock becomes a HARDIRQ-unsafe lock, which can cause
deadlocks in scheduler code.
This problem was introduced by commit 02a7c234e5 ("rcu: Suppress
lockdep false-positive ->boost_mtx complaints"). That brought the user
of rt_mutex_futex_unlock() with irq off.
To fix this, replace the *lock_irq() in rt_mutex_futex_unlock() with
*lock_irq{save,restore}() to make it safe to call rt_mutex_futex_unlock()
with irq off.

When queuing on the qspinlock, the count field for the current CPU's head
node is incremented. This needn't be atomic because locking in e.g. IRQ
context is balanced and so an IRQ will return with node->count as it
found it.
However, the compiler could in theory reorder the initialisation of
node[idx] before the increment of the head node->count, causing an
IRQ to overwrite the initialised node and potentially corrupt the lock
state.
Avoid the potential for this harmful compiler reordering by placing a
barrier() between the increment of the head node->count and the subsequent
node initialisation.

When a locker ends up queuing on the qspinlock locking slowpath, we
initialise the relevant mcs node and publish it indirectly by updating
the tail portion of the lock word using xchg_tail. If we find that there
was a pre-existing locker in the queue, we subsequently update their
->next field to point at our node so that we are notified when it's our
turn to take the lock.
This can be roughly illustrated as follows:
/* Initialise the fields in node and encode a pointer to node in tail */
tail = initialise_node(node);
/*
* Exchange tail into the lockword using an atomic read-modify-write
* operation with release semantics
*/
old = xchg_tail(lock, tail);
/* If there was a pre-existing waiter ... */
if (old & _Q_TAIL_MASK) {
prev = decode_tail(old);
smp_read_barrier_depends();
/* ... then update their ->next field to point to node.
WRITE_ONCE(prev->next, node);
}
The conditional update of prev->next therefore relies on the address
dependency from the result of xchg_tail ensuring order against the
prior initialisation of node. However, since the release semantics of
the xchg_tail operation apply only to the write portion of the RmW,
then this ordering is not guaranteed and it is possible for the CPU
to return old before the writes to node have been published, consequently
allowing us to point prev->next to an uninitialised node.
This patch fixes the problem by making the update of prev->next a RELEASE
operation, which also removes the reliance on dependency ordering.

Lockdep is assigning lock keys when a lock was looked up. This is
unnecessary; if the lock has never been registered then it is known that it
is not locked. It also complicates the calling convention. Switch to

<preempted>
<scheduled in>
rt_mutex_wait_proxy_lock()
__rt_mutex_slowlock()
try_to_take_rt_mutex() /* fails, lock held by stealer */
if (timeout && !timeout->task)
return -ETIMEDOUT;
fixup_owner()
/* lock wasn't acquired, so,
fixup_pi_state_owner skipped */
return -ETIMEDOUT;
/* At this point, we've returned -ETIMEDOUT to userspace, but the
* futex word shows waiter to be the owner, and the pi_mutex has
* stealer as the owner */
futex_lock(LOCK_PI, uaddr2)
-> bails with EDEADLK, futex word says we're owner.
And suggested that what commit:
73d786bd04 ("futex: Rework inconsistent rt_mutex/futex_q state")
removes from fixup_owner() looks to be just what is needed. And indeed
it is -- I completely missed that requeue_pi could also result in this
case. So we need to restore that, except that subsequent patches, like
commit:
16ffa12d74 ("futex: Pull rt_mutex_futex_unlock() out from under hb->lock")
changed all the locking rules. Even without that, the sequence:
- if (rt_mutex_futex_trylock(&q->pi_state->pi_mutex)) {
- locked = 1;
- goto out;
- }
- raw_spin_lock_irq(&q->pi_state->pi_mutex.wait_lock);
- owner = rt_mutex_owner(&q->pi_state->pi_mutex);
- if (!owner)
- owner = rt_mutex_next_owner(&q->pi_state->pi_mutex);
- raw_spin_unlock_irq(&q->pi_state->pi_mutex.wait_lock);
- ret = fixup_pi_state_owner(uaddr, q, owner);
already suggests there were races; otherwise we'd never have to look
at next_owner.
So instead of doing 3 consecutive wait_lock sections with who knows
what races, we do it all in a single section. Additionally, the usage
of pi_state->owner in fixup_owner() was only safe because only the
rt_mutex owner would modify it, which this additional case wrecks.
Luckily the values can only change away and not to the value we're
testing, this means we can do a speculative test and double check once
we have the wait_lock.

This code (CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE=y and CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETIONS=y),
while it found a number of old bugs initially, was also causing too many
false positives that caused people to disable lockdep - which is arguably
a worse overall outcome.
If we disable cross-release by default but keep the code upstream then
in practice the most likely outcome is that we'll allow the situation
to degrade gradually, by allowing entropy to introduce more and more
false positives, until it overwhelms maintenance capacity.
Another bad side effect was that people were trying to work around
the false positives by uglifying/complicating unrelated code. There's
a marked difference between annotating locking operations and
uglifying good code just due to bad lock debugging code ...
This gradual decrease in quality happened to a number of debugging
facilities in the kernel, and lockdep is pretty complex already,
so we cannot risk this outcome.
Either cross-release checking can be done right with no false positives,
or it should not be included in the upstream kernel.
( Note that it might make sense to maintain it out of tree and go through
the false positives every now and then and see whether new bugs were
introduced. )

When CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBEAK=y, locking structures grow an extra int ->break_lock
field which is used to implement raw_spin_is_contended() by setting the field
to 1 when waiting on a lock and clearing it to zero when holding a lock.
However, there are a few problems with this approach:
- There is a write-write race between a CPU successfully taking the lock
(and subsequently writing break_lock = 0) and a waiter waiting on
the lock (and subsequently writing break_lock = 1). This could result
in a contended lock being reported as uncontended and vice-versa.
- On machines with store buffers, nothing guarantees that the writes
to break_lock are visible to other CPUs at any particular time.
- READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE are not used, so the field is potentially
susceptible to harmful compiler optimisations,
Consequently, the usefulness of this field is unclear and we'd be better off
removing it and allowing architectures to implement raw_spin_is_contended() by
providing a definition of arch_spin_is_contended(), as they can when
CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK=n.

Commit:
a8a217c221 ("locking/core: Remove {read,spin,write}_can_lock()")
removed the definition of raw_spin_can_lock(), causing the GENERIC_LOCKBREAK
spin_lock() routines to poll the ->break_lock field when waiting on a lock.
This has been reported to cause a deadlock during boot on s390, because
the ->break_lock field is also set by the waiters, and can potentially
remain set indefinitely if no other CPUs come in to take the lock after
it has been released.
This patch removes the explicit spinning on ->break_lock from the waiters,
instead relying on the outer trylock() operation to determine when the
lock is available.

The purpose of torture_runnable is to allow rcutorture and locktorture
to be started and stopped via sysfs when they are built into the kernel
(as in not compiled as loadable modules). However, the 0444 permissions
for both instances of torture_runnable prevent this use case from ever
being put into practice. Given that there have been no complaints
about this deficiency, it is reasonable to conclude that no one actually
makes use of this sysfs capability. The perf_runnable module parameter
for rcuperf is in the same situation.
This commit therefore removes both torture_runnable instances as well
as perf_runnable.
