2019-07-31locking/lockdep: Fix lock used or unused stats errorYuyang Du1-2/+3
[ Upstream commit 68d41d8c94a31dfb8233ab90b9baf41a2ed2da68 ] The stats variable nr_unused_locks is incremented every time a new lock class is register and decremented when the lock is first used in __lock_acquire(). And after all, it is shown and checked in lockdep_stats. However, under configurations that either CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS or CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is not defined: The commit: 091806515124b20 ("locking/lockdep: Consolidate lock usage bit initialization") missed marking the LOCK_USED flag at IRQ usage initialization because as mark_usage() is not called. And the commit: 886532aee3cd42d ("locking/lockdep: Move mark_lock() inside CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS && CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING") further made mark_lock() not defined such that the LOCK_USED cannot be marked at all when the lock is first acquired. As a result, we fix this by not showing and checking the stats under such configurations for lockdep_stats.

2019-05-21locking/rwsem: Prevent decrement of reader count before incrementWaiman Long1-14/+30
[ Upstream commit a9e9bcb45b1525ba7aea26ed9441e8632aeeda58 ] During my rwsem testing, it was found that after a down_read(), the reader count may occasionally become 0 or even negative. Consequently, a writer may steal the lock at that time and execute with the reader in parallel thus breaking the mutual exclusion guarantee of the write lock. In other words, both readers and writer can become rwsem owners simultaneously. The current reader wakeup code does it in one pass to clear waiter->task and put them into wake_q before fully incrementing the reader count. Once waiter->task is cleared, the corresponding reader may see it, finish the critical section and do unlock to decrement the count before the count is incremented. This is not a problem if there is only one reader to wake up as the count has been pre-incremented by 1. It is a problem if there are more than one readers to be woken up and writer can steal the lock. The wakeup was actually done in 2 passes before the following v4.9 commit: 70800c3c0cc5 ("locking/rwsem: Scan the wait_list for readers only once") To fix this problem, the wakeup is now done in two passes again. In the first pass, we collect the readers and count them. The reader count is then fully incremented. In the second pass, the waiter->task is then cleared and they are put into wake_q to be woken up later.

2019-02-12futex: Handle early deadlock return correctlyThomas Gleixner1-5/+32
commit 1a1fb985f2e2b85ec0d3dc2e519ee48389ec2434 upstream. commit 56222b212e8e ("futex: Drop hb->lock before enqueueing on the rtmutex") changed the locking rules in the futex code so that the hash bucket lock is not longer held while the waiter is enqueued into the rtmutex wait list. This made the lock and the unlock path symmetric, but unfortunately the possible early exit from __rt_mutex_proxy_start() due to a detected deadlock was not updated accordingly. That allows a concurrent unlocker to observe inconsitent state which triggers the warning in the unlock path. futex_lock_pi() futex_unlock_pi() lock(hb->lock) queue(hb_waiter) lock(hb->lock) lock(rtmutex->wait_lock) unlock(hb->lock) // acquired hb->lock hb_waiter = futex_top_waiter() lock(rtmutex->wait_lock) __rt_mutex_proxy_start() ---> fail remove(rtmutex_waiter); ---> returns -EDEADLOCK unlock(rtmutex->wait_lock) // acquired wait_lock wake_futex_pi() rt_mutex_next_owner() --> returns NULL --> WARN lock(hb->lock) unqueue(hb_waiter) The problem is caused by the remove(rtmutex_waiter) in the failure case of __rt_mutex_proxy_start() as this lets the unlocker observe a waiter in the hash bucket but no waiter on the rtmutex, i.e. inconsistent state. The original commit handles this correctly for the other early return cases (timeout, signal) by delaying the removal of the rtmutex waiter until the returning task reacquired the hash bucket lock. Treat the failure case of __rt_mutex_proxy_start() in the same way and let the existing cleanup code handle the eventual handover of the rtmutex gracefully. The regular rt_mutex_proxy_start() gains the rtmutex waiter removal for the failure case, so that the other callsites are still operating correctly. Add proper comments to the code so all these details are fully documented. Thanks to Peter for helping with the analysis and writing the really valuable code comments.

2018-12-21locking/qspinlock, x86: Provide liveness guaranteePeter Zijlstra1-1/+16
commit 7aa54be2976550f17c11a1c3e3630002dea39303 upstream. On x86 we cannot do fetch_or() with a single instruction and thus end up using a cmpxchg loop, this reduces determinism. Replace the fetch_or() with a composite operation: tas-pending + load. Using two instructions of course opens a window we previously did not have. Consider the scenario: CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 1) lock trylock -> (0,0,1) 2) lock trylock /* fail */ 3) unlock -> (0,0,0) 4) lock trylock -> (0,0,1) 5) tas-pending -> (0,1,1) load-val <- (0,1,0) from 3 6) clear-pending-set-locked -> (0,0,1) FAIL: _2_ owners where 5) is our new composite operation. When we consider each part of the qspinlock state as a separate variable (as we can when _Q_PENDING_BITS == 8) then the above is entirely possible, because tas-pending will only RmW the pending byte, so the later load is able to observe prior tail and lock state (but not earlier than its own trylock, which operates on the whole word, due to coherence). To avoid this we need 2 things: - the load must come after the tas-pending (obviously, otherwise it can trivially observe prior state). - the tas-pending must be a full word RmW instruction, it cannot be an XCHGB for example, such that we cannot observe other state prior to setting pending. On x86 we can realize this by using "LOCK BTS m32, r32" for tas-pending followed by a regular load. Note that observing later state is not a problem: - if we fail to observe a later unlock, we'll simply spin-wait for that store to become visible. - if we observe a later xchg_tail(), there is no difference from that xchg_tail() having taken place before the tas-pending.

2018-12-21locking/qspinlock: Kill cmpxchg() loop when claiming lock from head of queueWill Deacon1-11/+8
commit c61da58d8a9ba9238250a548f00826eaf44af0f7 upstream. When a queued locker reaches the head of the queue, it claims the lock by setting _Q_LOCKED_VAL in the lockword. If there isn't contention, it must also clear the tail as part of this operation so that subsequent lockers can avoid taking the slowpath altogether. Currently this is expressed as a cmpxchg() loop that practically only runs up to two iterations. This is confusing to the reader and unhelpful to the compiler. Rewrite the cmpxchg() loop without the loop, so that a failed cmpxchg() implies that there is contention and we just need to write to _Q_LOCKED_VAL without considering the rest of the lockword.

2018-12-21locking/qspinlock: Remove unbounded cmpxchg() loop from locking slowpathWill Deacon2-49/+58
commit 59fb586b4a07b4e1a0ee577140ab4842ba451acd upstream. The qspinlock locking slowpath utilises a "pending" bit as a simple form of an embedded test-and-set lock that can avoid the overhead of explicit queuing in cases where the lock is held but uncontended. This bit is managed using a cmpxchg() loop which tries to transition the uncontended lock word from (0,0,0) -> (0,0,1) or (0,0,1) -> (0,1,1). Unfortunately, the cmpxchg() loop is unbounded and lockers can be starved indefinitely if the lock word is seen to oscillate between unlocked (0,0,0) and locked (0,0,1). This could happen if concurrent lockers are able to take the lock in the cmpxchg() loop without queuing and pass it around amongst themselves. This patch fixes the problem by unconditionally setting _Q_PENDING_VAL using atomic_fetch_or, and then inspecting the old value to see whether we need to spin on the current lock owner, or whether we now effectively hold the lock. The tricky scenario is when concurrent lockers end up queuing on the lock and the lock becomes available, causing us to see a lockword of (n,0,0). With pending now set, simply queuing could lead to deadlock as the head of the queue may not have observed the pending flag being cleared. Conversely, if the head of the queue did observe pending being cleared, then it could transition the lock from (n,0,0) -> (0,0,1) meaning that any attempt to "undo" our setting of the pending bit could race with a concurrent locker trying to set it. We handle this race by preserving the pending bit when taking the lock after reaching the head of the queue and leaving the tail entry intact if we saw pending set, because we know that the tail is going to be updated shortly.

commit 625e88be1f41b53cec55827c984e4a89ea8ee9f9 upstream. 'struct __qspinlock' provides a handy union of fields so that subcomponents of the lockword can be accessed by name, without having to manage shifts and masks explicitly and take endianness into account.

2018-12-21locking/qspinlock: Bound spinning on pending->locked transition in slowpathWill Deacon1-3/+17
commit 6512276d97b160d90b53285bd06f7f201459a7e3 upstream. If a locker taking the qspinlock slowpath reads a lock value indicating that only the pending bit is set, then it will spin whilst the concurrent pending->locked transition takes effect. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that such a transition will ever be observed since concurrent lockers could continuously set pending and hand over the lock amongst themselves, leading to starvation. Whilst this would probably resolve in practice, it means that it is not possible to prove liveness properties about the lock and means that lock acquisition time is unbounded. Rather than removing the pending->locked spinning from the slowpath altogether (which has been shown to heavily penalise a 2-threaded locking stress test on x86), this patch replaces the explicit spinning with a call to atomic_cond_read_relaxed and allows the architecture to provide a bound on the number of spins. For architectures that can respond to changes in cacheline state in their smp_cond_load implementation, it should be sufficient to use the default bound of 1.

2018-12-21locking/qspinlock: Ensure node is initialised before updating prev->nextWill Deacon1-6/+7
commit 95bcade33a8af38755c9b0636e36a36ad3789fe6 upstream. When a locker ends up queuing on the qspinlock locking slowpath, we initialise the relevant mcs node and publish it indirectly by updating the tail portion of the lock word using xchg_tail. If we find that there was a pre-existing locker in the queue, we subsequently update their ->next field to point at our node so that we are notified when it's our turn to take the lock. This can be roughly illustrated as follows: /* Initialise the fields in node and encode a pointer to node in tail */ tail = initialise_node(node); /* * Exchange tail into the lockword using an atomic read-modify-write * operation with release semantics */ old = xchg_tail(lock, tail); /* If there was a pre-existing waiter ... */ if (old & _Q_TAIL_MASK) { prev = decode_tail(old); smp_read_barrier_depends(); /* ... then update their ->next field to point to node. WRITE_ONCE(prev->next, node); } The conditional update of prev->next therefore relies on the address dependency from the result of xchg_tail ensuring order against the prior initialisation of node. However, since the release semantics of the xchg_tail operation apply only to the write portion of the RmW, then this ordering is not guaranteed and it is possible for the CPU to return old before the writes to node have been published, consequently allowing us to point prev->next to an uninitialised node. This patch fixes the problem by making the update of prev->next a RELEASE operation, which also removes the reliance on dependency ordering.

commit 548095dea63ffc016d39c35b32c628d033638aca upstream. Queued spinlocks are not used by DEC Alpha, and furthermore operations such as READ_ONCE() and release/relaxed RMW atomics are being changed to imply smp_read_barrier_depends(). This commit therefore removes the now-redundant smp_read_barrier_depends() from queued_spin_lock_slowpath(), and adjusts the comments accordingly. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2018-11-13locking/lockdep: Fix debug_locks off performance problemWaiman Long1-2/+2
[ Upstream commit 9506a7425b094d2f1d9c877ed5a78f416669269b ] It was found that when debug_locks was turned off because of a problem found by the lockdep code, the system performance could drop quite significantly when the lock_stat code was also configured into the kernel. For instance, parallel kernel build time on a 4-socket x86-64 server nearly doubled. Further analysis into the cause of the slowdown traced back to the frequent call to debug_locks_off() from the __lock_acquired() function probably due to some inconsistent lockdep states with debug_locks off. The debug_locks_off() function did an unconditional atomic xchg to write a 0 value into debug_locks which had already been set to 0. This led to severe cacheline contention in the cacheline that held debug_locks. As debug_locks is being referenced in quite a few different places in the kernel, this greatly slow down the system performance. To prevent that trashing of debug_locks cacheline, lock_acquired() and lock_contended() now checks the state of debug_locks before proceeding. The debug_locks_off() function is also modified to check debug_locks before calling __debug_locks_off().

2018-06-21locking/rwsem: Add a new RWSEM_ANONYMOUSLY_OWNED flagWaiman Long3-21/+28
[ Upstream commit d7d760efad70c7a030725499bf9f342f04af24dd ] There are use cases where a rwsem can be acquired by one task, but released by another task. In thess cases, optimistic spinning may need to be disabled. One example will be the filesystem freeze/thaw code where the task that freezes the filesystem will acquire a write lock on a rwsem and then un-owns it before returning to userspace. Later on, another task will come along, acquire the ownership, thaw the filesystem and release the rwsem. Bit 0 of the owner field was used to designate that it is a reader owned rwsem. It is now repurposed to mean that the owner of the rwsem is not known. If only bit 0 is set, the rwsem is reader owned. If bit 0 and other bits are set, it is writer owned with an unknown owner. One such value for the latter case is (-1L). So we can set owner to 1 for reader-owned, -1 for writer-owned. The owner is unknown in both cases. To handle transfer of rwsem ownership, the higher level code should set the owner field to -1 to indicate a write-locked rwsem with unknown owner. Optimistic spinning will be disabled in this case. Once the higher level code figures who the new owner is, it can then set the owner field accordingly.

2018-04-26locking/qspinlock: Ensure node->count is updated before initialising nodeWill Deacon1-0/+8
[ Upstream commit 11dc13224c975efcec96647a4768a6f1bb7a19a8 ] When queuing on the qspinlock, the count field for the current CPU's head node is incremented. This needn't be atomic because locking in e.g. IRQ context is balanced and so an IRQ will return with node->count as it found it. However, the compiler could in theory reorder the initialisation of node[idx] before the increment of the head node->count, causing an IRQ to overwrite the initialised node and potentially corrupt the lock state. Avoid the potential for this harmful compiler reordering by placing a barrier() between the increment of the head node->count and the subsequent node initialisation.

KASan is a replacement that is able to work without the limitation of kmemcheck (single CPU, slow). KASan is already upstream. We are also not aware of any users of kmemcheck (or users who don't consider KASan as a suitable replacement). The only objection was that since KASAN wasn't supported by all GCC versions provided by distros at that time we should hold off for 2 years, and try again. Now that 2 years have passed, and all distros provide gcc that supports KASAN, kill kmemcheck again for the very same reasons.

2018-01-23futex: Avoid violating the 10th rule of futexPeter Zijlstra2-7/+20
commit c1e2f0eaf015fb7076d51a339011f2383e6dd389 upstream. Julia reported futex state corruption in the following scenario: waiter waker stealer (prio > waiter) futex(WAIT_REQUEUE_PI, uaddr, uaddr2, timeout=[N ms]) futex_wait_requeue_pi() futex_wait_queue_me() freezable_schedule() <scheduled out> futex(LOCK_PI, uaddr2) futex(CMP_REQUEUE_PI, uaddr, uaddr2, 1, 0) /* requeues waiter to uaddr2 */ futex(UNLOCK_PI, uaddr2) wake_futex_pi() cmp_futex_value_locked(uaddr2, waiter) wake_up_q() <woken by waker> <hrtimer_wakeup() fires, clears sleeper->task> futex(LOCK_PI, uaddr2) __rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock() try_to_take_rt_mutex() /* steals lock */ rt_mutex_set_owner(lock, stealer) <preempted> <scheduled in> rt_mutex_wait_proxy_lock() __rt_mutex_slowlock() try_to_take_rt_mutex() /* fails, lock held by stealer */ if (timeout && !timeout->task) return -ETIMEDOUT; fixup_owner() /* lock wasn't acquired, so, fixup_pi_state_owner skipped */ return -ETIMEDOUT; /* At this point, we've returned -ETIMEDOUT to userspace, but the * futex word shows waiter to be the owner, and the pi_mutex has * stealer as the owner */ futex_lock(LOCK_PI, uaddr2) -> bails with EDEADLK, futex word says we're owner. And suggested that what commit: 73d786bd043e ("futex: Rework inconsistent rt_mutex/futex_q state") removes from fixup_owner() looks to be just what is needed. And indeed it is -- I completely missed that requeue_pi could also result in this case. So we need to restore that, except that subsequent patches, like commit: 16ffa12d7425 ("futex: Pull rt_mutex_futex_unlock() out from under hb->lock") changed all the locking rules. Even without that, the sequence: - if (rt_mutex_futex_trylock(&q->pi_state->pi_mutex)) { - locked = 1; - goto out; - } - raw_spin_lock_irq(&q->pi_state->pi_mutex.wait_lock); - owner = rt_mutex_owner(&q->pi_state->pi_mutex); - if (!owner) - owner = rt_mutex_next_owner(&q->pi_state->pi_mutex); - raw_spin_unlock_irq(&q->pi_state->pi_mutex.wait_lock); - ret = fixup_pi_state_owner(uaddr, q, owner); already suggests there were races; otherwise we'd never have to look at next_owner. So instead of doing 3 consecutive wait_lock sections with who knows what races, we do it all in a single section. Additionally, the usage of pi_state->owner in fixup_owner() was only safe because only the rt_mutex owner would modify it, which this additional case wrecks. Luckily the values can only change away and not to the value we're testing, this means we can do a speculative test and double check once we have the wait_lock.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman17-0/+17
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make an
