2016-12-06lockdep: Fix report formattingDmitry Vyukov
Since commit: 4bcc595ccd80 ("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing continuation lines") printk() requires KERN_CONT to continue log messages. Lots of printk() in lockdep.c and print_ip_sym() don't have it. As the result lockdep reports are completely messed up. Add missing KERN_CONT and inline print_ip_sym() where necessary. Example of a messed up report: 0-rc5+ #41 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------- syz-executor0/5036 is trying to acquire lock: ( rtnl_mutex ){+.+.+.} , at: [<ffffffff86b3d6ac>] rtnl_lock+0x1c/0x20 but task is already holding lock: ( &net->packet.sklist_lock ){+.+...} , at: [<ffffffff873541a6>] packet_diag_dump+0x1a6/0x1920 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #3 ( &net->packet.sklist_lock +.+...} ... Without this patch all scripts that parse kernel bug reports are broken.

This is a left over from the original rtmutex implementation which used both bit0 and bit1 in the owner pointer. Commit: 8161239a8bcc ("rtmutex: Simplify PI algorithm and make highest prio task get lock") ... removed the usage of bit1, but kept the extra mask around. This is confusing at best.

2016-12-02locking/rtmutex: Prevent dequeue vs. unlock raceThomas Gleixner
David reported a futex/rtmutex state corruption. It's caused by the following problem: CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 l->owner=T1 rt_mutex_lock(l) lock(l->wait_lock) l->owner = T1 | HAS_WAITERS; enqueue(T2) boost() unlock(l->wait_lock) schedule() rt_mutex_lock(l) lock(l->wait_lock) l->owner = T1 | HAS_WAITERS; enqueue(T3) boost() unlock(l->wait_lock) schedule() signal(->T2) signal(->T3) lock(l->wait_lock) dequeue(T2) deboost() unlock(l->wait_lock) lock(l->wait_lock) dequeue(T3) ===> wait list is now empty deboost() unlock(l->wait_lock) lock(l->wait_lock) fixup_rt_mutex_waiters() if (wait_list_empty(l)) { owner = l->owner & ~HAS_WAITERS; l->owner = owner ==> l->owner = T1 } lock(l->wait_lock) rt_mutex_unlock(l) fixup_rt_mutex_waiters() if (wait_list_empty(l)) { owner = l->owner & ~HAS_WAITERS; cmpxchg(l->owner, T1, NULL) ===> Success (l->owner = NULL) l->owner = owner ==> l->owner = T1 } That means the problem is caused by fixup_rt_mutex_waiters() which does the RMW to clear the waiters bit unconditionally when there are no waiters in the rtmutexes rbtree. This can be fatal: A concurrent unlock can release the rtmutex in the fastpath because the waiters bit is not set. If the cmpxchg() gets in the middle of the RMW operation then the previous owner, which just unlocked the rtmutex is set as the owner again when the write takes place after the successfull cmpxchg(). The solution is rather trivial: verify that the owner member of the rtmutex has the waiters bit set before clearing it. This does not require a cmpxchg() or other atomic operations because the waiters bit can only be set and cleared with the rtmutex wait_lock held. It's also safe against the fast path unlock attempt. The unlock attempt via cmpxchg() will either see the bit set and take the slowpath or see the bit cleared and release it atomically in the fastpath. It's remarkable that the test program provided by David triggers on ARM64 and MIPS64 really quick, but it refuses to reproduce on x86-64, while the problem exists there as well. That refusal might explain that this got not discovered earlier despite the bug existing from day one of the rtmutex implementation more than 10 years ago. Thanks to David for meticulously instrumenting the code and providing the information which allowed to decode this subtle problem.

2016-10-25locking/mutex: Add lock handoff to avoid starvationPeter Zijlstra
Implement lock handoff to avoid lock starvation. Lock starvation is possible because mutex_lock() allows lock stealing, where a running (or optimistic spinning) task beats the woken waiter to the acquire. Lock stealing is an important performance optimization because waiting for a waiter to wake up and get runtime can take a significant time, during which everyboy would stall on the lock. The down-side is of course that it allows for starvation. This patch has the waiter requesting a handoff if it fails to acquire the lock upon waking. This re-introduces some of the wait time, because once we do a handoff we have to wait for the waiter to wake up again. A future patch will add a round of optimistic spinning to attempt to alleviate this penalty, but if that turns out to not be enough, we can add a counter and only request handoff after multiple failed wakeups. There are a few tricky implementation details: - accepting a handoff must only be done in the wait-loop. Since the handoff condition is owner == current, it can easily cause recursive locking trouble. - accepting the handoff must be careful to provide the ACQUIRE semantics. - having the HANDOFF bit set on unlock requires care, we must not clear the owner. - we must be careful to not leave HANDOFF set after we've acquired the lock. The tricky scenario is setting the HANDOFF bit on an unlocked mutex.

2016-10-25locking/mutex: Rework mutex::ownerPeter Zijlstra
The current mutex implementation has an atomic lock word and a non-atomic owner field. This disparity leads to a number of issues with the current mutex code as it means that we can have a locked mutex without an explicit owner (because the owner field has not been set, or already cleared). This leads to a number of weird corner cases, esp. between the optimistic spinning and debug code. Where the optimistic spinning code needs the owner field updated inside the lock region, the debug code is more relaxed because the whole lock is serialized by the wait_lock. Also, the spinning code itself has a few corner cases where we need to deal with a held lock without an owner field. Furthermore, it becomes even more of a problem when trying to fix starvation cases in the current code. We end up stacking special case on special case. To solve this rework the basic mutex implementation to be a single atomic word that contains the owner and uses the low bits for extra state. This matches how PI futexes and rt_mutex already work. By having the owner an integral part of the lock state a lot of the problems dissapear and we get a better option to deal with starvation cases, direct owner handoff. Changing the basic mutex does however invalidate all the arch specific mutex code; this patch leaves that unused in-place, a later patch will remove that.

2016-09-22stop_machine: Remove stop_cpus_lock and lg_double_lock/unlock()Oleg Nesterov
stop_two_cpus() and stop_cpus() use stop_cpus_lock to avoid the deadlock, we need to ensure that the stopper functions can't be queued "backwards" from one another. This doesn't look nice; if we use lglock then we do not really need stopper->lock, cpu_stop_queue_work() could use lg_local_lock() under local_irq_save(). OTOH it would be even better to avoid lglock in stop_machine.c and remove lg_double_lock(). This patch adds "bool stop_cpus_in_progress" set/cleared by queue_stop_cpus_work(), and changes cpu_stop_queue_two_works() to busy wait until it is cleared. queue_stop_cpus_work() sets stop_cpus_in_progress = T lockless, but after it queues a work on CPU1 it must be visible to stop_two_cpus(CPU1, CPU2) which checks it under the same lock.

2016-09-22locking/pv-qspinlock: Use cmpxchg_release() in __pv_queued_spin_unlock()Pan Xinhui
cmpxchg_release() is more lighweight than cmpxchg() on some archs(e.g. PPC), moreover, in __pv_queued_spin_unlock() we only needs a RELEASE in the fast path(pairing with *_try_lock() or *_lock()). And the slow path has smp_store_release too. So it's safe to use cmpxchg_release here.

2016-08-18locking/rwsem: Scan the wait_list for readers only onceDavidlohr Bueso
When wanting to wakeup readers, __rwsem_mark_wakeup() currently iterates the wait_list twice while looking to wakeup the first N queued reader-tasks. While this can be quite inefficient, it was there such that a awoken reader would be first and foremost acknowledged by the lock counter. Keeping the same logic, we can further benefit from the use of wake_qs and avoid entirely the first wait_list iteration that sets the counter as wake_up_process() isn't going to occur right away, and therefore we maintain the counter->list order of going about things. Other than saving cycles with O(n) "scanning", this change also nicely cleans up a good chunk of __rwsem_mark_wakeup(); both visually and less tedious to read. For example, the following improvements where seen on some will it scale microbenchmarks, on a 48-core Haswell: v4.7 v4.7-rwsem-v1 Hmean signal1-processes-8 5792691.42 ( 0.00%) 5771971.04 ( -0.36%) Hmean signal1-processes-12 6081199.96 ( 0.00%) 6072174.38 ( -0.15%) Hmean signal1-processes-21 3071137.71 ( 0.00%) 3041336.72 ( -0.97%) Hmean signal1-processes-48 3712039.98 ( 0.00%) 3708113.59 ( -0.11%) Hmean signal1-processes-79 4464573.45 ( 0.00%) 4682798.66 ( 4.89%) Hmean signal1-processes-110 4486842.01 ( 0.00%) 4633781.71 ( 3.27%) Hmean signal1-processes-141 4611816.83 ( 0.00%) 4692725.38 ( 1.75%) Hmean signal1-processes-172 4638157.05 ( 0.00%) 4714387.86 ( 1.64%) Hmean signal1-processes-203 4465077.80 ( 0.00%) 4690348.07 ( 5.05%) Hmean signal1-processes-224 4410433.74 ( 0.00%) 4687534.43 ( 6.28%) Stddev signal1-processes-8 6360.47 ( 0.00%) 8455.31 ( 32.94%) Stddev signal1-processes-12 4004.98 ( 0.00%) 9156.13 (128.62%) Stddev signal1-processes-21 3273.14 ( 0.00%) 5016.80 ( 53.27%) Stddev signal1-processes-48 28420.25 ( 0.00%) 26576.22 ( -6.49%) Stddev signal1-processes-79 22038.34 ( 0.00%) 18992.70 (-13.82%) Stddev signal1-processes-110 23226.93 ( 0.00%) 17245.79 (-25.75%) Stddev signal1-processes-141 6358.98 ( 0.00%) 7636.14 ( 20.08%) Stddev signal1-processes-172 9523.70 ( 0.00%) 4824.75 (-49.34%) Stddev signal1-processes-203 13915.33 ( 0.00%) 9326.33 (-32.98%) Stddev signal1-processes-224 15573.94 ( 0.00%) 10613.82 (-31.85%) Other runs that saw improvements include context_switch and pipe; and as expected, this is particularly highlighted on larger thread counts as it becomes more expensive to walk the list twice.

While there are several functions that choose this return value, the callers use it, for example, for things like ERR_PTR.

2016-08-10locking/percpu-rwsem: Optimize readers and reduce global impactPeter Zijlstra
Currently the percpu-rwsem switches to (global) atomic ops while a writer is waiting; which could be quite a while and slows down releasing the readers. This patch cures this problem by ordering the reader-state vs reader-count (see the comments in __percpu_down_read() and percpu_down_write()). This changes a global atomic op into a full memory barrier, which doesn't have the global cacheline contention. This also enables using the percpu-rwsem with rcu_sync disabled in order to bias the implementation differently, reducing the writer latency by adding some cost to readers.

2016-08-10locking/pvstat: Separate wait_again and spurious wakeup statsWaiman Long
Currently there are overlap in the pvqspinlock wait_again and spurious_wakeup stat counters. Because of lock stealing, it is no longer possible to accurately determine if spurious wakeup has happened in the queue head. As they track both the queue node and queue head status, it is also hard to tell how many of those comes from the queue head and how many from the queue node. This patch changes the accounting rules so that spurious wakeup is only tracked in the queue node. The wait_again count, however, is only tracked in the queue head when the vCPU failed to acquire the lock after a vCPU kick. This should give a much better indication of the wait-kick dynamics in the queue node and the queue head.

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.

2016-06-08locking/rwsem: Convert sem->count to 'atomic_long_t'Jason Low
Convert the rwsem count variable to an atomic_long_t since we use it as an atomic variable. This also allows us to remove the rwsem_atomic_{add,update}() "abstraction" which would now be an unnecesary level of indirection. In follow up patches, we also remove the rwsem_atomic_{add,update}() definitions across the various architectures.

2016-06-08locking/qspinlock: Add commentsPeter Zijlstra
I figured we need to document the spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait() constraints somwehere. Ideally 'someone' would rewrite Documentation/atomic_ops.txt and we could find a place in there. But currently that document is stale to the point of hardly being useful.

2016-06-08locking/qspinlock: Clarify xchg_tail() orderingPeter Zijlstra
While going over the code I noticed that xchg_tail() is a RELEASE but had no obvious pairing commented. It pairs with a somewhat unique address dependency through decode_tail(). So the store-release of xchg_tail() is paired by the address dependency of the load of xchg_tail followed by the dereference from the pointer computed from that load. The @old -> @prev transformation itself is pure, and therefore does not depend on external state, so that is immaterial wrt. ordering.

2016-06-08locking/qspinlock: Fix spin_unlock_wait() some morePeter Zijlstra
While this prior commit: 54cf809b9512 ("locking,qspinlock: Fix spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait()") ... fixes spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait() for the usage in ipc/sem and netfilter, it does not in fact work right for the usage in task_work and futex. So while the 2 locks crossed problem: spin_lock(A) spin_lock(B) if (!spin_is_locked(B)) spin_unlock_wait(A) foo() foo(); ... works with the smp_mb() injected by both spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait(), this is not sufficient for: flag = 1; smp_mb(); spin_lock() spin_unlock_wait() if (!flag) // add to lockless list // iterate lockless list ... because in this scenario, the store from spin_lock() can be delayed past the load of flag, uncrossing the variables and loosing the guarantee. This patch reworks spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait() to work in both cases by exploiting the observation that while the lock byte store can be delayed, the contender must have registered itself visibly in other state contained in the word. It also allows for architectures to override both functions, as PPC and ARM64 have an additional issue for which we currently have no generic solution.

2016-06-08locking/rtmutex: Only warn once on a trylock from bad contextSebastian Andrzej Siewior
One warning should be enough to get one motivated to fix this. It is possible that this happens more than once and that starts flooding the output. Later the prints will be suppressed so we only get half of it. Depending on the console system used it might not be helpful.
