Whilst porting the generic qrwlock code over to arm64, it became apparent that any portable locking code needs finer-grained control of the memory-ordering guarantees provided by our atomic routines. In particular: xchg, cmpxchg, {add,sub}_return are often used in situations where full barrier semantics (currently the only option available) are not required. For example, when a reader increments a reader count to obtain a lock, checking the old value to see if a writer was present, only acquire semantics are strictly needed. This patch introduces three new ordering semantics for these operations: - *_relaxed: No ordering guarantees. This is similar to what we have already for the non-return atomics (e.g. atomic_add). - *_acquire: ACQUIRE semantics, similar to smp_load_acquire. - *_release: RELEASE semantics, similar to smp_store_release. In memory-ordering speak, this means that the acquire/release semantics are RCpc as opposed to RCsc. Consequently a RELEASE followed by an ACQUIRE does not imply a full barrier, as already documented in memory-barriers.txt. Currently, all the new macros are conditionally mapped to the full-mb variants, however if the *_relaxed version is provided by the architecture, then the acquire/release variants are constructed by supplementing the relaxed routine with an explicit barrier.

The kernel build bot showed a new warning triggered by commit: 76695af2 ("locking, arch: use WRITE_ONCE()/READ_ONCE() in smp_store_release()/smp_load_acquire()") because Sparse does not like WRITE_ONCE() accessing elements from the (sparse) RCU address space: fs/afs/inode.c:448:9: sparse: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces) fs/afs/inode.c:448:9: expected struct afs_permits *__val fs/afs/inode.c:448:9: got void [noderef] <asn:4>*<noident> Solution is to force cast away the sparse attributes for the initializer of the union in WRITE_ONCE(). (And as this now gets too long, also split the macro into multiple lines.)

There are various problems and short-comings with the current static_key interface: - static_key_{true,false}() read like a branch depending on the key value, instead of the actual likely/unlikely branch depending on init value. - static_key_{true,false}() are, as stated above, tied to the static_key init values STATIC_KEY_INIT_{TRUE,FALSE}. - we're limited to the 2 (out of 4) possible options that compile to a default NOP because that's what our arch_static_branch() assembly emits. So provide a new static_key interface: DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(name); DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(name); Which define a key of different types with an initial true/false value. Then allow: static_branch_likely() static_branch_unlikely() to take a key of either type and emit the right instruction for the case. This means adding a second arch_static_branch_jump() assembly helper which emits a JMP per default. In order to determine the right instruction for the right state, encode the branch type in the LSB of jump_entry::key. This is the final step in removing the naming confusion that has led to a stream of avoidable bugs such as: a833581e ("x86, perf: Fix static_key bug in load_mm_cr4()") ... but it also allows new static key combinations that will give us performance enhancements in the subsequent patches.

Instead of spreading the branch_default logic all over the place, concentrate it into the one jump_label_type() function. This does mean we need to actually increment/decrement the enabled count _before_ calling the update path, otherwise jump_label_type() will not see the right state.

For an over-committed guest with more vCPUs than physical CPUs available, it is possible that a vCPU may be kicked twice before getting the lock - once before it becomes queue head and once again before it gets the lock. All these CPU kicking and halting (VMEXIT) can be expensive and slow down system performance. This patch adds a new vCPU state (vcpu_hashed) which enables the code to delay CPU kicking until at unlock time. Once this state is set, the new lock holder will set _Q_SLOW_VAL and fill in the hash table on behalf of the halted queue head vCPU. The original vcpu_halted state will be used by pv_wait_node() only to differentiate other queue nodes from the qeue head.

Currently, a reader will check first to make sure that the writer mode byte is cleared before incrementing the reader count. That waiting is not really necessary. It increases the latency in the reader/writer to reader transition and reduces readers performance. This patch eliminates that waiting. It also has the side effect of reducing the chance of writer lock stealing and improving the fairness of the lock.

When we unlock in __pv_queued_spin_unlock(), a failed cmpxchg() on the lock value indicates that we need to take the slow-path and unhash the corresponding node blocked on the lock. Since a failed cmpxchg() does not provide any memory-ordering guarantees, it is possible that the node data could be read before the cmpxchg() on weakly-ordered architectures and therefore return a stale value, leading to hash corruption and/or a BUG(). This patch adds an smb_rmb() following the failed cmpxchg operation, so that the unhashing is ordered after the lock has been checked.

Ted Ts'o reports that his Lenovo T540p ThinkPad crashes at boot if attached to the docking station. This is a regression that he was able to bisect to commit 8c7b5ccb: "drm/i915: Use atomic helpers for computing changed flags:" The reason seems to be the new call to drm_atomic_helper_check_modeset() added to intel_modeset_compute_config(), which in turn calls update_connector_routing(), and somehow ends up picking a NULL crtc for the connector state, causing the subsequent drm_crtc_index() to OOPS. Daniel Vetter says that the fundamental issue seems to be confusion in the encoder selection, and this isn't the right fix, but while he chases down the proper fix, this at least avoids the NULL pointer dereference and makes Ted's docking station work again.

In RCU mode we might end up with dentry evicted just we check that it's a directory. In such case we should return ECHILD rather than ENOTDIR, so that pathwalk would be retries in non-RCU mode. Breakage had been introduced in commit b18825a7 - prior to that we were looking at nd->inode, which had been fetched before verifying that ->d_seq was still valid. That form of check would only be satisfied if at some point the pathname prefix would indeed have resolved to a non-directory. The fix consists of checking ->d_seq after we'd run into a non-directory dentry, and failing with ECHILD in case of mismatch. Note that all branches since 3.12 have that problem...

Commit 50649ab1 ("stmmac: drop driver from stmmac platform code") was a bit overzealous in removing code and dropped the MODULE_* macro's that are still needed since stmmac_platform can be a module. Fix this by putting the macro's remvoed in 50649ab1 back. This fixes the following errors when used as a module: stmmac_platform: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel. Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint stmmac_platform: Unknown symbol devm_kmalloc (err 0) stmmac_platform: Unknown symbol stmmac_suspend (err 0) stmmac_platform: Unknown symbol platform_get_irq_byname (err 0) stmmac_platform: Unknown symbol stmmac_dvr_remove (err 0) stmmac_platform: Unknown symbol platform_get_resource (err 0) stmmac_platform: Unknown symbol of_get_phy_mode (err 0) stmmac_platform: Unknown symbol of_property_read_u32_array (err 0) stmmac_platform: Unknown symbol of_alias_get_id (err 0) stmmac_platform: Unknown symbol stmmac_resume (err 0) stmmac_platform: Unknown symbol stmmac_dvr_probe (err 0) Fixes: 50649ab1 ("stmmac: drop driver from stmmac platform code") Reported-by: Igor Gnatenko <i.gnatenko.brain@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Joachim Eastwood <manabian@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
