commit 495f53d5cca0f939eaed9dca90b67e7e6fb0e30c upstream.

Currently, when a lock class is allocated, nr_unused_locks will be
increased by 1, until it gets used: nr_unused_locks will be decreased by
1 in mark_lock(). However, one scenario is missed: a lock class may be
zapped without even being used once. This could result into a situation
that nr_unused_locks != 0 but no unused lock class is active in the
system, and when `cat /proc/lockdep_stats`, a WARN_ON() will
be triggered in a CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP=y kernel:

  [...] DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(debug_atomic_read(nr_unused_locks) != nr_unused)
  [...] WARNING: CPU: 41 PID: 1121 at kernel/locking/lockdep_proc.c:283 lockdep_stats_show+0xba9/0xbd0

And as a result, lockdep will be disabled after this.

Therefore, nr_unused_locks needs to be accounted correctly at
zap_class() time.

commit a6f88ac32c6e63e69c595bfae220d8641704c9b7 upstream.

There is a deadlock scenario between lockdep and rcu when
rcu nocb feature is enabled, just as following call stack:

     rcuop/x
-000|queued_spin_lock_slowpath(lock = 0xFFFFFF817F2A8A80, val = ?)

-012|ret_from_fork(asm)

rcuop/x and rcuop/y are rcu nocb threads with the same nocb gp thread.
This patch release the graph lock before lockdep call_rcu.

[ Upstream commit bca4104b00fec60be330cd32818dd5c70db3d469 ]

Kent reported an occasional KASAN splat in lockdep. Mark then noted:

&gt; I suspect the dodgy access is to chain_block_buckets[-1], which hits the last 4
&gt; bytes of the redzone and gets (incorrectly/misleadingly) attributed to
&gt; nr_large_chain_blocks.

That would mean @size == 0, at which point size_to_bucket() returns -1
and the above happens.

alloc_chain_hlocks() has 'size - req', for the first with the
precondition 'size &gt;= rq', which allows the 0.

This code is trying to split a block, del_chain_block() takes what we
need, and add_chain_block() puts back the remainder, except in the
above case the remainder is 0 sized and things go sideways.

<title>lockdep: fix static memory detection even more</title>

<id>0a6b58c5cd0dfd7961e725212f0fc8dfc5d96195</id>
<content type='text'>
On the parisc architecture, lockdep reports for all static objects which
are in the __initdata section (e.g. "setup_done" in devtmpfs,
"kthreadd_done" in init/main.c) this warning:

	INFO: trying to register non-static key.

The warning itself is wrong, because those objects are in the __initdata
section, but the section itself is on parisc outside of range from
_stext to _end, which is why the static_obj() functions returns a wrong
answer.

While fixing this issue, I noticed that the whole existing check can
be simplified a lot.
Instead of checking against the _stext and _end symbols (which include
code areas too) just check for the .data and .bss segments (since we check a
data object). This can be done with the existing is_kernel_core_data()
macro.

In addition objects in the __initdata section can be checked with
init_section_contains(), and is_kernel_rodata() allows keys to be in the
_ro_after_init section.

This partly reverts and simplifies commit bac59d18c701 ("x86/setup: Fix static
memory detection").

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Introduce cmpxchg128() -- aka. the demise of cmpxchg_double()

   The cmpxchg128() family of functions is basically &amp; functionally the
   same as cmpxchg_double(), but with a saner interface.

   Instead of a 6-parameter horror that forced u128 - u64/u64-halves
   layout details on the interface and exposed users to complexity,
   fragility &amp; bugs, use a natural 3-parameter interface with u128
   types.

 - Restructure the generated atomic headers, and add kerneldoc comments
   for all of the generic atomic{,64,_long}_t operations.

   The generated definitions are much cleaner now, and come with
   documentation.

 - Implement lock_set_cmp_fn() on lockdep, for defining an ordering when
   taking multiple locks of the same type.

   This gets rid of one use of lockdep_set_novalidate_class() in the
   bcache code.

 - Fix raw_cpu_generic_try_cmpxchg() bug due to an unintended variable
   shadowing generating garbage code on Clang on certain ARM builds.

<title>lockdep: Add lock_set_cmp_fn() annotation</title>

This implements a new interface to lockdep, lock_set_cmp_fn(), for
defining a custom ordering when taking multiple locks of the same
class.

This is an alternative to subclasses, but can not fully replace them
since subclasses allow lock hierarchies with other clasees
inter-twined, while this relies on pure class nesting.

Specifically, if A is our nesting class then:

  A/0 &lt;- B &lt;- A/1

Would be a valid lock order with subclasses (each subclass really is a
full class from the validation PoV) but not with this annotation,
which requires all nesting to be consecutive.

Example output:

<content type='text'>
There is an explicit wait-type violation in debug_object_fill_pool()
for PREEMPT_RT=n kernels which allows them to more easily fill the
object pool and reduce the chance of allocation failures.

Lockdep's wait-type checks are designed to check the PREEMPT_RT
locking rules even for PREEMPT_RT=n kernels and object to this, so
create a lockdep annotation to allow this to stand.

Specifically, create a 'lock' type that overrides the inner wait-type
while it is held -- allowing one to temporarily raise it, such that
the violation is hidden.

<title>locking/lockdep: Improve the deadlock scenario print for sync and read lock</title>

<id>0471db447cb7de56bbe2fedd9256b4d2b8ef642a</id>
<content type='text'>
Lock scenario print is always a weak spot of lockdep splats. Improvement
can be made if we rework the dependency search and the error printing.

However without touching the graph search, we can improve a little for
the circular deadlock case, since we have the to-be-added lock
dependency, and know whether these two locks are read/write/sync.

In order to know whether a held_lock is sync or not, a bit was
"stolen" from -&gt;references, which reduce our limit for the same lock
class nesting from 2^12 to 2^11, and it should still be good enough.

Besides, since we now have bit in held_lock for sync, we don't need the
"hardirqoffs being 1" trick, and also we can avoid the __lock_release()
if we jump out of __lock_acquire() before the held_lock stored.

With these changes, a deadlock case evolved with read lock and sync gets
a better print-out from:

	[...]  Possible unsafe locking scenario:
	[...]
	[...]        CPU0                    CPU1
	[...]        ----                    ----
	[...]   lock(srcuA);

	[...]                                lock(srcuA);
	[...]   lock(srcuB);

<title>locking/lockdep: Introduce lock_sync()</title>

Currently, functions like synchronize_srcu() do not have lockdep
annotations resembling those of other write-side locking primitives.
Such annotations might look as follows:

	lock_acquire();
	lock_release();

Such annotations would tell lockdep that synchronize_srcu() acts like
an empty critical section that waits for other (read-side) critical
sections to finish.  This would definitely catch some deadlock, but
as pointed out by Paul Mckenney [1], this could also introduce false
positives because of irq-safe/unsafe detection.  Of course, there are
tricks could help with this:

	might_sleep(); // Existing statement in __synchronize_srcu().
	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING)) {
		local_irq_disable();
		lock_acquire();
		lock_release();
		local_irq_enable();
	}

But it would be better for lockdep to provide a separate annonation for
functions like synchronize_srcu(), so that people won't need to repeat
the ugly tricks above.

Therefore introduce lock_sync(), which is simply an lock+unlock
pair with no irq safe/unsafe deadlock check.  This works because the
to-be-annontated functions do not create real critical sections, and
there is therefore no way that irq can create extra dependencies.
