* locking/rwlock: Provide RT variantThomas Gleixner2021-08-171-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Similar to rw_semaphores, on RT the rwlock substitution is not writer fair, because it's not feasible to have a writer inherit its priority to multiple readers. Readers blocked on a writer follow the normal rules of priority inheritance. Like RT spinlocks, RT rwlocks are state preserving across the slow lock operations (contended case).

* lockdep: Introduce wait-type checksPeter Zijlstra2020-03-211-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend lockdep to validate lock wait-type context. The current wait-types are: LD_WAIT_FREE, /* wait free, rcu etc.. */ LD_WAIT_SPIN, /* spin loops, raw_spinlock_t etc.. */ LD_WAIT_CONFIG, /* CONFIG_PREEMPT_LOCK, spinlock_t etc.. */ LD_WAIT_SLEEP, /* sleeping locks, mutex_t etc.. */ Where lockdep validates that the current lock (the one being acquired) fits in the current wait-context (as generated by the held stack). This ensures that there is no attempt to acquire mutexes while holding spinlocks, to acquire spinlocks while holding raw_spinlocks and so on. In other words, its a more fancy might_sleep(). Obviously RCU made the entire ordeal more complex than a simple single value test because RCU can be acquired in (pretty much) any context and while it presents a context to nested locks it is not the same as it got acquired in. Therefore its necessary to split the wait_type into two values, one representing the acquire (outer) and one representing the nested context (inner). For most 'normal' locks these two are the same. [ To make static initialization easier we have the rule that: .outer == INV means .outer == .inner; because INV == 0. ] It further means that its required to find the minimal .inner of the held stack to compare against the outer of the new lock; because while 'normal' RCU presents a CONFIG type to nested locks, if it is taken while already holding a SPIN type it obviously doesn't relax the rules. Below is an example output generated by the trivial test code: raw_spin_lock(&foo); spin_lock(&bar); spin_unlock(&bar); raw_spin_unlock(&foo); [ BUG: Invalid wait context ] ----------------------------- swapper/0/1 is trying to lock: ffffc90000013f20 (&bar){....}-{3:3}, at: kernel_init+0xdb/0x187 other info that might help us debug this: 1 lock held by swapper/0/1: #0: ffffc90000013ee0 (&foo){+.+.}-{2:2}, at: kernel_init+0xd1/0x187 The way to read it is to look at the new -{n,m} part in the lock description; -{3:3} for the attempted lock, and try and match that up to the held locks, which in this case is the one: -{2,2}. This tells that the acquiring lock requires a more relaxed environment than presented by the lock stack. Currently only the normal locks and RCU are converted, the rest of the lockdep users defaults to .inner = INV which is ignored. More conversions can be done when desired. The check for spinlock_t nesting is not enabled by default. It's a separate config option for now as there are known problems which are currently addressed. The config option allows to identify these problems and to verify that the solutions found are indeed solving them. The config switch will be removed and the checks will permanently enabled once the vast majority of issues has been addressed.

* locking/spinlock/debug: Fix various data racesMarco Elver2019-11-291-16/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes various data races in spinlock_debug. By testing with KCSAN, it is observable that the console gets spammed with data races reports, suggesting these are extremely frequent. Example data race report: read to 0xffff8ab24f403c48 of 4 bytes by task 221 on cpu 2: debug_spin_lock_before kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:85 [inline] do_raw_spin_lock+0x9b/0x210 kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:112 __raw_spin_lock include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:143 [inline] _raw_spin_lock+0x39/0x40 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:151 spin_lock include/linux/spinlock.h:338 [inline] get_partial_node.isra.0.part.0+0x32/0x2f0 mm/slub.c:1873 get_partial_node mm/slub.c:1870 [inline] <snip> write to 0xffff8ab24f403c48 of 4 bytes by task 167 on cpu 3: debug_spin_unlock kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:103 [inline] do_raw_spin_unlock+0xc9/0x1a0 kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:138 __raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:159 [inline] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x2d/0x50 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:191 spin_unlock_irqrestore include/linux/spinlock.h:393 [inline] free_debug_processing+0x1b3/0x210 mm/slub.c:1214 __slab_free+0x292/0x400 mm/slub.c:2864 <snip> As a side-effect, with KCSAN, this eventually locks up the console, most likely due to deadlock, e.g. .. -> printk lock -> spinlock_debug -> KCSAN detects data race -> kcsan_print_report() -> printk lock -> deadlock. This fix will 1) avoid the data races, and 2) allow using lock debugging together with KCSAN.

* mmiowb: Hook up mmiowb helpers to spinlocks and generic I/O accessorsWill Deacon2019-04-081-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | Removing explicit calls to mmiowb() from driver code means that we must now call into the generic mmiowb_spin_{lock,unlock}() functions from the core spinlock code. In order to elide barriers following critical sections without any I/O writes, we also hook into the asm-generic I/O routines.

* locking/spinlock/debug: Remove spinlock lockup detection codeWaiman Long2017-02-101-81/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current spinlock lockup detection code can sometimes produce false positives because of the unfairness of the locking algorithm itself. So the lockup detection code is now removed. Instead, we are relying on the NMI watchdog to detect potential lockup. We won't have lockup detection if the watchdog isn't running. The commented-out read-write lock lockup detection code are also removed.
