Pull the "Linux kernel memory model" tooling implementation from Paul E. McKenney:

 'This pull request contains a single commit that adds a memory model to
  the tools directory.  This memory model can (roughly speaking) be thought
  of as an automated version of memory-barriers.txt.  It is written in the
  "cat" language, which is executable by the externally provided "herd7"
  simulator, which exhaustively explores the state space of small litmus
  tests.'

LINUX KERNEL MEMORY MODEL
=========================
============
INTRODUCTION
============
This directory contains the memory model of the Linux kernel, written
in the "cat" language and executable by the (externally provided)
"herd7" simulator, which exhaustively explores the state space of
small litmus tests.
In addition, the "klitmus7" tool (also externally provided) may be used
to convert a litmus test to a Linux kernel module, which in turn allows
that litmus test to be exercised within the Linux kernel.
============
REQUIREMENTS
============
The "herd7" and "klitmus7" tools must be downloaded separately:
https://github.com/herd/herdtools7
See "herdtools7/INSTALL.md" for installation instructions.
Alternatively, Abhishek Bhardwaj has kindly provided a Docker image
of these tools at "abhishek40/memory-model". Abhishek suggests the
following commands to install and use this image:
- Users should install Docker for their distribution.
- docker run -itd abhishek40/memory-model
- docker attach <id-emitted-from-the-previous-command>
Gentoo users might wish to make use of Patrick McLean's package:
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/dev-util/herdtools7
These packages may not be up-to-date with respect to the GitHub
repository.
==================
BASIC USAGE: HERD7
==================
The memory model is used, in conjunction with "herd7", to exhaustively
explore the state space of small litmus tests.
For example, to run SB+mbonceonces.litmus against the memory model:
$ herd7 -conf linux-kernel.cfg litmus-tests/SB+mbonceonces.litmus
Here is the corresponding output:
Test SB+mbonceonces Allowed
States 3
0:r0=0; 1:r0=1;
0:r0=1; 1:r0=0;
0:r0=1; 1:r0=1;
No
Witnesses
Positive: 0 Negative: 3
Condition exists (0:r0=0 /\ 1:r0=0)
Observation SB+mbonceonces Never 0 3
Time SB+mbonceonces 0.01
Hash=d66d99523e2cac6b06e66f4c995ebb48
The "Positive: 0 Negative: 3" and the "Never 0 3" each indicate that
this litmus test's "exists" clause can not be satisfied.
See "herd7 -help" or "herdtools7/doc/" for more information.
=====================
BASIC USAGE: KLITMUS7
=====================
The "klitmus7" tool converts a litmus test into a Linux kernel module,
which may then be loaded and run.
For example, to run SB+mbonceonces.litmus against hardware:
$ mkdir mymodules
$ klitmus7 -o mymodules litmus-tests/SB+mbonceonces.litmus
$ cd mymodules ; make
$ sudo sh run.sh
The corresponding output includes:
Test SB+mbonceonces Allowed
Histogram (3 states)
644580 :>0:r0=1; 1:r0=0;
644328 :>0:r0=0; 1:r0=1;
711092 :>0:r0=1; 1:r0=1;
No
Witnesses
Positive: 0, Negative: 2000000
Condition exists (0:r0=0 /\ 1:r0=0) is NOT validated
Hash=d66d99523e2cac6b06e66f4c995ebb48
Observation SB+mbonceonces Never 0 2000000
Time SB+mbonceonces 0.16
The "Positive: 0 Negative: 2000000" and the "Never 0 2000000" indicate
that during two million trials, the state specified in this litmus
test's "exists" clause was not reached.
And, as with "herd7", please see "klitmus7 -help" or "herdtools7/doc/"
for more information.
====================
DESCRIPTION OF FILES
====================
Documentation/cheatsheet.txt
Quick-reference guide to the Linux-kernel memory model.
Documentation/explanation.txt
Describes the memory model in detail.
Documentation/recipes.txt
Lists common memory-ordering patterns.
Documentation/references.txt
Provides background reading.
linux-kernel.bell
Categorizes the relevant instructions, including memory
references, memory barriers, atomic read-modify-write operations,
lock acquisition/release, and RCU operations.
More formally, this file (1) lists the subtypes of the various
event types used by the memory model and (2) performs RCU
read-side critical section nesting analysis.
linux-kernel.cat
Specifies what reorderings are forbidden by memory references,
memory barriers, atomic read-modify-write operations, and RCU.
More formally, this file specifies what executions are forbidden
by the memory model. Allowed executions are those which
satisfy the model's "coherence", "atomic", "happens-before",
"propagation", and "rcu" axioms, which are defined in the file.
linux-kernel.cfg
Convenience file that gathers the common-case herd7 command-line
arguments.
linux-kernel.def
Maps from C-like syntax to herd7's internal litmus-test
instruction-set architecture.
litmus-tests
Directory containing a few representative litmus tests, which
are listed in litmus-tests/README. A great deal more litmus
tests are available at https://github.com/paulmckrcu/litmus.
lock.cat
Provides a front-end analysis of lock acquisition and release,
for example, associating a lock acquisition with the preceding
and following releases and checking for self-deadlock.
More formally, this file defines a performance-enhanced scheme
for generation of the possible reads-from and coherence order
relations on the locking primitives.

===========
LIMITATIONS
===========
The Linux-kernel memory model has the following limitations:
1. Compiler optimizations are not modeled. Of course, the use
of READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() limits the compiler's ability
to optimize, but there is Linux-kernel code that uses bare C
memory accesses. Handling this code is on the to-do list.
For more information, see Documentation/explanation.txt (in
particular, the "THE PROGRAM ORDER RELATION: po AND po-loc"
and "A WARNING" sections).
2. Multiple access sizes for a single variable are not supported,
and neither are misaligned or partially overlapping accesses.
3. Exceptions and interrupts are not modeled. In some cases,
this limitation can be overcome by modeling the interrupt or
exception with an additional process.
4. I/O such as MMIO or DMA is not supported.
5. Self-modifying code (such as that found in the kernel's
alternatives mechanism, function tracer, Berkeley Packet Filter
JIT compiler, and module loader) is not supported.
6. Complete modeling of all variants of atomic read-modify-write
operations, locking primitives, and RCU is not provided.
For example, call_rcu() and rcu_barrier() are not supported.
However, a substantial amount of support is provided for these
operations, as shown in the linux-kernel.def file.
The "herd7" tool has some additional limitations of its own, apart from
the memory model:
1. Non-trivial data structures such as arrays or structures are
not supported. However, pointers are supported, allowing trivial
linked lists to be constructed.
2. Dynamic memory allocation is not supported, although this can
be worked around in some cases by supplying multiple statically
allocated variables.
Some of these limitations may be overcome in the future, but others are
more likely to be addressed by incorporating the Linux-kernel memory model
into other tools.

This directory contains the following litmus tests:
CoRR+poonceonce+Once.litmus
Test of read-read coherence, that is, whether or not two
successive reads from the same variable are ordered.
CoRW+poonceonce+Once.litmus
Test of read-write coherence, that is, whether or not a read
from a given variable followed by a write to that same variable
are ordered.
CoWR+poonceonce+Once.litmus
Test of write-read coherence, that is, whether or not a write
to a given variable followed by a read from that same variable
are ordered.
CoWW+poonceonce.litmus
Test of write-write coherence, that is, whether or not two
successive writes to the same variable are ordered.
IRIW+mbonceonces+OnceOnce.litmus
Test of independent reads from independent writes with smp_mb()
between each pairs of reads. In other words, is smp_mb()
sufficient to cause two different reading processes to agree on
the order of a pair of writes, where each write is to a different
variable by a different process.
IRIW+poonceonces+OnceOnce.litmus
Test of independent reads from independent writes with nothing
between each pairs of reads. In other words, is anything at all
needed to cause two different reading processes to agree on the
order of a pair of writes, where each write is to a different
variable by a different process.
ISA2+poonceonces.litmus
As below, but with store-release replaced with WRITE_ONCE()
and load-acquire replaced with READ_ONCE().
ISA2+pooncerelease+poacquirerelease+poacquireonce.litmus
Can a release-acquire chain order a prior store against
a later load?
LB+ctrlonceonce+mbonceonce.litmus
Does a control dependency and an smp_mb() suffice for the
load-buffering litmus test, where each process reads from one
of two variables then writes to the other?
LB+poacquireonce+pooncerelease.litmus
Does a release-acquire pair suffice for the load-buffering
litmus test, where each process reads from one of two variables then
writes to the other?
LB+poonceonces.litmus
As above, but with store-release replaced with WRITE_ONCE()
and load-acquire replaced with READ_ONCE().
MP+onceassign+derefonce.litmus
As below, but with rcu_assign_pointer() and an rcu_dereference().
MP+polocks.litmus
As below, but with the second access of the writer process
and the first access of reader process protected by a lock.
MP+poonceonces.litmus
As below, but without the smp_rmb() and smp_wmb().
MP+pooncerelease+poacquireonce.litmus
As below, but with a release-acquire chain.
MP+porevlocks.litmus
As below, but with the first access of the writer process
and the second access of reader process protected by a lock.
MP+wmbonceonce+rmbonceonce.litmus
Does a smp_wmb() (between the stores) and an smp_rmb() (between
the loads) suffice for the message-passing litmus test, where one
process writes data and then a flag, and the other process reads
the flag and then the data. (This is similar to the ISA2 tests,
but with two processes instead of three.)
R+mbonceonces.litmus
This is the fully ordered (via smp_mb()) version of one of
the classic counterintuitive litmus tests that illustrates the
effects of store propagation delays.
R+poonceonces.litmus
As above, but without the smp_mb() invocations.
SB+mbonceonces.litmus
This is the fully ordered (again, via smp_mb() version of store
buffering, which forms the core of Dekker's mutual-exclusion
algorithm.
SB+poonceonces.litmus
As above, but without the smp_mb() invocations.
S+poonceonces.litmus
As below, but without the smp_wmb() and acquire load.
S+wmbonceonce+poacquireonce.litmus
Can a smp_wmb(), instead of a release, and an acquire order
a prior store against a subsequent store?
WRC+poonceonces+Once.litmus
WRC+pooncerelease+rmbonceonce+Once.litmus
These two are members of an extension of the MP litmus-test class
in which the first write is moved to a separate process.
Z6.0+pooncelock+pooncelock+pombonce.litmus
Is the ordering provided by a spin_unlock() and a subsequent
spin_lock() sufficient to make ordering apparent to accesses
by a process not holding the lock?
Z6.0+pooncelock+poonceLock+pombonce.litmus
As above, but with smp_mb__after_spinlock() immediately
following the spin_lock().
Z6.0+pooncerelease+poacquirerelease+mbonceonce.litmus
Is the ordering provided by a release-acquire chain sufficient
to make ordering apparent to accesses by a process that does
not participate in that release-acquire chain?
A great many more litmus tests are available here:
