rt_mutex_trylock() must be called from thread context. It can be called from atomic regions (preemption or interrupts disabled), but not from hard/softirq/nmi context. Add a warning to alert abusers. The reasons for this are: 1) There is a potential deadlock in the slowpath 2) Another cpu which blocks on the rtmutex will boost the task which allegedly locked the rtmutex, but that cannot work because the hard/softirq context borrows the task context.

We removed the only user of this define in the rtmutex code. Get rid of it. Signed-off-by: -
Sebastian Andrzej Siewior authored
The rtmutex code is the only user of __HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG and we have a few other user of cmpxchg() which do not care about __HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG. This define was first introduced in 23f78d4a ("[PATCH] pi-futex: rt mutex core") which is v2.6.18. The generic cmpxchg was introduced later in 068fbad2 ("Add cmpxchg_local to asm-generic for per cpu atomic operations") which is v2.6.25. Back then something was required to get rtmutex working with the fast path on architectures without cmpxchg and this seems to be the result. It popped up recently on rt-users because ARM (v6+) does not define __HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG (even that it implements it) which results in slower locking performance in the fast path. To put some numbers on it: preempt -RT, am335x, 10 loops of 100000 invocations of rt_spin_lock() + rt_spin_unlock() (time "total" is the average of the 10 loops for the 100000 invocations, "loop" is "total / 100000 * 1000"): cmpxchg | slowpath used || cmpxchg used | total | loop || total | loop --------|-----------|-------||------------|------- ARMv6 | 9129.4 us | 91 ns || 3311.9 us | 33 ns generic | 9360.2 us | 94 ns || 10834.6 us | 108 ns ----------------------------||-------------------- Forcing it to generic cmpxchg() made things worse for the slowpath and even worse in cmpxchg() path. It boils down to 14ns more per lock+unlock in a cache hot loop so it might not be that much in real world. The last test was a substitute for pre ARMv6 machine but then I was able to perform the comparison on imx28 which is ARMv5 and therefore is always is using the generic cmpxchg implementation. And the numbers: | total | loop -------- |----------- |-------- slowpath | 263937.2 us | 2639 ns cmpxchg | 16934.2 us | 169 ns -------------------------------- The numbers are larger since the machine is slower in general. However, letting rtmutex use cmpxchg() instead the slowpath seem to improve things. Since from the ARM (tested on am335x + imx28) point of view always using cmpxchg() in rt_mutex_lock() + rt_mutex_unlock() makes sense I would drop the define. Signed-off-by:

Valentin Rothberg reported that we use CONFIG_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS in arch/x86/kernel/paravirt_patch_32.c, while the symbol is called CONFIG_QUEUED_SPINLOCK. (Note the extra 'S') But the typo was natural: the proper English term for such a generic object would be 'queued spinlocks' - so rename this and related symbols accordingly to the plural form.

We use the regular paravirt call patching to switch between: native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath() __pv_queued_spin_lock_slowpath() native_queued_spin_unlock() __pv_queued_spin_unlock() We use a callee saved call for the unlock function which reduces the i-cache footprint and allows 'inlining' of SPIN_UNLOCK functions again. We further optimize the unlock path by patching the direct call with a "movb $0,%arg1" if we are indeed using the native unlock code. This makes the unlock code almost as fast as the !PARAVIRT case. This significantly lowers the overhead of having CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS enabled, even for native code. Signed-off-by:

Provide a separate (second) version of the spin_lock_slowpath for paravirt along with a special unlock path. The second slowpath is generated by adding a few pv hooks to the normal slowpath, but where those will compile away for the native case, they expand into special wait/wake code for the pv version. The actual MCS queue can use extra storage in the mcs_nodes[] array to keep track of state and therefore uses directed wakeups. The head contender has no such storage directly visible to the unlocker. So the unlocker searches a hash table with open addressing using a simple binary Galois linear feedback shift register.

Currently, atomic_cmpxchg() is used to get the lock. However, this is not really necessary if there is more than one task in the queue and the queue head don't need to reset the tail code. For that case, a simple write to set the lock bit is enough as the queue head will be the only one eligible to get the lock as long as it checks that both the lock and pending bits are not set. The current pending bit waiting code will ensure that the bit will not be set as soon as the tail code in the lock is set. With that change, the are some slight improvement in the performance of the queued spinlock in the 5M loop micro-benchmark run on a 4-socket Westere-EX machine as shown in the tables below.

The disk workload of the AIM7 benchmark was run on a 4-socket Westmere-EX machine with both ext4 and xfs RAM disks at 3000 users on a 3.14 based kernel. The results of the test runs were: AIM7 XFS Disk Test kernel JPM Real Time Sys Time Usr Time ----- --- --------- -------- -------- ticketlock 5678233 3.17 96.61 5.81 qspinlock 5750799 3.13 94.83 5.97 AIM7 EXT4 Disk Test kernel JPM Real Time Sys Time Usr Time ----- --- --------- -------- -------- ticketlock 1114551 16.15 509.72 7.11 qspinlock 2184466 8.24 232.99 6.01 The ext4 filesystem run had a much higher spinlock contention than the xfs filesystem run.

When we allow for a max NR_CPUS < 2^14 we can optimize the pending wait-acquire and the xchg_tail() operations. By growing the pending bit to a byte, we reduce the tail to 16bit. This means we can use xchg16 for the tail part and do away with all the repeated compxchg() operations. This in turn allows us to unconditionally acquire; the locked state as observed by the wait loops cannot change. And because both locked and pending are now a full byte we can use simple stores for the state transition, obviating one atomic operation entirely. This optimization is needed to make the qspinlock achieve performance parity with ticket spinlock at light load. All this is horribly broken on Alpha pre EV56 (and any other arch that cannot do single-copy atomic byte stores). Signed-off-by:

This is a preparatory patch that extracts out the following 2 code snippets to prepare for the next performance optimization patch. 1) the logic for the exchange of new and previous tail code words into a new xchg_tail() function. 2) the logic for clearing the pending bit and setting the locked bit into a new clear_pending_set_locked() function. This patch also simplifies the trylock operation before queuing by calling queued_spin_trylock() directly. Signed-off-by: -
Peter Zijlstra (Intel) authored
Because the qspinlock needs to touch a second cacheline (the per-cpu mcs_nodes[]); add a pending bit and allow a single in-word spinner before we punt to the second cacheline. It is possible so observe the pending bit without the locked bit when the last owner has just released but the pending owner has not yet taken ownership. In this case we would normally queue -- because the pending bit is already taken. However, in this case the pending bit is guaranteed to be released 'soon', therefore wait for it and avoid queueing.

This patch makes the necessary changes at the x86 architecture specific layer to enable the use of queued spinlocks for x86-64. As x86-32 machines are typically not multi-socket. The benefit of queue spinlock may not be apparent. So queued spinlocks are not enabled. Currently, there is some incompatibilities between the para-virtualized spinlock code (which hard-codes the use of ticket spinlock) and the queued spinlocks. Therefore, the use of queued spinlocks is disabled when the para-virtualized spinlock is enabled. The arch/x86/include/asm/qspinlock.h header file includes some x86 specific optimization which will make the queueds spinlock code perform better than the generic implementation. Signed-off-by:

This patch introduces a new generic queued spinlock implementation that can serve as an alternative to the default ticket spinlock. Compared with the ticket spinlock, this queued spinlock should be almost as fair as the ticket spinlock. It has about the same speed in single-thread and it can be much faster in high contention situations especially when the spinlock is embedded within the data structure to be protected. Only in light to moderate contention where the average queue depth is around 1-3 will this queued spinlock be potentially a bit slower due to the higher slowpath overhead. This queued spinlock is especially suit to NUMA machines with a large number of cores as the chance of spinlock contention is much higher in those machines. The cost of contention is also higher because of slower inter-node memory traffic. Due to the fact that spinlocks are acquired with preemption disabled, the process will not be migrated to another CPU while it is trying to get a spinlock. Ignoring interrupt handling, a CPU can only be contending in one spinlock at any one time. Counting soft IRQ, hard IRQ and NMI, a CPU can only have a maximum of 4 concurrent lock waiting activities. By allocating a set of per-cpu queue nodes and used them to form a waiting queue, we can encode the queue node address into a much smaller 24-bit size (including CPU number and queue node index) leaving one byte for the lock. Please note that the queue node is only needed when waiting for the lock. Once the lock is acquired, the queue node can be released to be used later. Signed-off-by:

In up_write()/up_read(), rwsem_wake() will be called whenever it detects that some writers/readers are waiting. The rwsem_wake() function will take the wait_lock and call __rwsem_do_wake() to do the real wakeup. For a heavily contended rwsem, doing a spin_lock() on wait_lock will cause further contention on the heavily contended rwsem cacheline resulting in delay in the completion of the up_read/up_write operations. This patch makes the wait_lock taking and the call to __rwsem_do_wake() optional if at least one spinning writer is present. The spinning writer will be able to take the rwsem and call rwsem_wake() later when it calls up_write(). With the presence of a spinning writer, rwsem_wake() will now try to acquire the lock using trylock. If that fails, it will just quit. Suggested-by:

Way back, when the world was a simpler place and there was no war, no evil, and no kernel bugs, there was just a single pinctrl lock. That was how the world was when (57291ce2 pinctrl: core device tree mapping table parsing support) was written. In that case, there were instances where the pinctrl mutex was already held when pinctrl_register_map() was called, hence a "locked" parameter was passed to the function to indicate that the mutex was already locked (so we shouldn't lock it again). A few years ago in (42fed7ba pinctrl: move subsystem mutex to pinctrl_dev struct), we switched to a separate pinctrl_maps_mutex. ...but (oops) we forgot to re-think about the whole "locked" parameter for pinctrl_register_map(). Basically the "locked" parameter appears to still refer to whether the bigger pinctrl_dev mutex is locked, but we're using it to skip locks of our (now separate) pinctrl_maps_mutex. That's kind of a bad thing(TM). Probably nobody noticed because most of the calls to pinctrl_register_map happen at boot time and we've got synchronous device probing. ...and even cases where we're asynchronous don't end up actually hitting the race too often. ...but after banging my head against the wall for a bug that reproduced 1 out of 1000 reboots and lots of looking through kgdb, I finally noticed this. Anyway, we can now safely remove the "locked" parameter and go back to a war-free, evil-free, and kernel-bug-free world.

The functional change was that flush_thread() after this commit only calls restore_init_xstate() when both use_eager_fpu() and !used_math() are true. drop_init_fpu() (now fpu_reset_state()) calls restore_init_xstate() regardless of whether current used_math() - apply the same logic here. Switch used_math() -> tsk_used_math(tsk) to consistently use the grabbed tsk instead of current, like in the rest of flush_thread(). Tested-by:
