* [PATCH] lockdep: debug_show_all_locks & debug_show_held_locks vs. debug_locksJarek Poplawski2007-03-221-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | lockdep's data shouldn't be used when debug_locks == 0 because it's not updated after this, so it's more misleading than helpful. PS: probably lockdep's current-> fields should be reset after it turns debug_locks off: so, after printing a bug report, but before return from exported functions, but there are really a lot of these possibilities (e.g. after DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON), so, something could be missed. (Of course direct use of this fields isn't recommended either.)

* [PATCH] fix section mismatch warning in lockdepSam Ravnborg2007-03-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | lockdep_init() is marked __init but used in several places outside __init code. This causes following warnings: $ scripts/mod/modpost kernel/lockdep.o WARNING: kernel/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:lockdep_init from .text.lockdep_init_map after 'lockdep_init_map' (at offset 0x105) WARNING: kernel/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:lockdep_init from .text.lockdep_reset_lock after 'lockdep_reset_lock' (at offset 0x35) WARNING: kernel/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:lockdep_init from .text.__lock_acquire after '__lock_acquire' (at offset 0xb2) The warnings are less obviously due to heavy inlining by gcc - this is not altered. Fix the section mismatch warnings by removing the __init marking, which seems obviously wrong.

* [PATCH] lockdep: more unlock-on-error fixesJarek Poplawski2007-02-111-4/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - returns after DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON added in 3 places - debug_locks checking after lookup_chain_cache() added in __lock_acquire() - locking for testing and changing global variable max_lockdep_depth added in __lock_acquire() From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> My __acquire_lock() cleanup introduced a locking bug: on SMP systems we'd release a non-owned graph lock. Fix this by moving the graph unlock back, and by leaving the max_lockdep_depth variable update possibly racy. (we dont care, it's just statistics) Also add some minimal debugging code to graph_unlock()/graph_lock(), which caught this locking bug.

* [PATCH] lockdep: fix possible races while disabling lock-debuggingIngo Molnar2006-12-131-65/+105
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jarek Poplawski noticed that lockdep global state could be accessed in a racy way if one CPU did a lockdep assert (shutting lockdep down), while the other CPU would try to do something that changes its global state. This patch fixes those races and cleans up lockdep's internal locking by adding a graph_lock()/graph_unlock()/debug_locks_off_graph_unlock helpers. (Also note that as we all know the Linux kernel is, by definition, bug-free and perfect, so this code never triggers, so these fixes are highly theoretical. I wrote this patch for aesthetic reasons alone.)

* [PATCH] lockdep: print irq-trace info on assertsIngo Molnar2006-12-131-5/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | When we print an assert due to scheduling-in-atomic bugs, and if lockdep is enabled, then the IRQ tracing information of lockdep can be printed to pinpoint the code location that disabled interrupts.

* | [PATCH] lockdep: increase max allowed recursion depthIngo Molnar2006-10-171-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In general, lockdep warnings are intended to be non-fatal, so I have put in various practical limits on internal data structure failure modes. We haven't had a /single/ lockdep-internal crash ever since lockdep went upstream [the unwinder crashes are outside of lockdep], and that's largely due to the good internal checks it does. Recursion within the dependency graph is currently limited to 20, that's probably not enough on some many-CPU boxes - this patch doubles it to 40. I have written the lockdep functions to have as small stackframes as possible, so 40 should be OK too. (The practical recursion limit should be somewhere between 100 and 200 entries. If we hit that then I'll change the algorithm to be iteration-based. Graph walking logic is so easy to program via recursion, so i'd like to keep recursion as long as possible.)

The current hash is: #define iterate_chain_key(key1, key2) \ (((key1) << MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS/2) ^ \ ((key1) >> (64-MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS/2)) ^ \ (key2)) where MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS is 11. This hash is pretty good as it will shift by 5 bits in every iteration, where every new ID 'mixed' into the hash would have up to 11 bits. But because there was a 6 bits overlap between subsequent IDs and their high bits tended to be similar, there was a chance for accidental chain-hash collision for a low number of locks held. the solution is to shift by 11 bits: #define iterate_chain_key(key1, key2) \ (((key1) << MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS) ^ \ ((key1) >> (64-MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS)) ^ \ (key2)) This keeps the hash perfect up to 5 locks held, but even above that the hash is still good because 11 bits is a relative prime to the total 64 bits, so a complete match will only occur after 64 held locks (which doesnt happen in Linux). Even after 5 locks held, entropy of the 5 IDs mixed into the hash is already good enough so that overlap doesnt generate a colliding hash ID. with this change the false positives went away.

* [PATCH] lockdep: allow read_lock() recursion of same classIngo Molnar2006-07-031-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> lockdep so far only allowed read-recursion for the same lock instance. This is enough in the overwhelming majority of cases, but a hostap case triggered and reported by Miles Lane relies on same-class different-instance recursion. So we relax the restriction on read-lock recursion. (This change does not allow rwsem read-recursion, which is still forbidden.)

Do 'make oldconfig' and accept all the defaults for new config options - reboot into the kernel and if everything goes well it should boot up fine and you should have /proc/lockdep and /proc/lockdep_stats files. Typically if the lock validator finds some problem it will print out voluminous debug output that begins with "BUG: ..." and which syslog output can be used by kernel developers to figure out the precise locking scenario. What does the lock validator do? It "observes" and maps all locking rules as they occur dynamically (as triggered by the kernel's natural use of spinlocks, rwlocks, mutexes and rwsems). Whenever the lock validator subsystem detects a new locking scenario, it validates this new rule against the existing set of rules. If this new rule is consistent with the existing set of rules then the new rule is added transparently and the kernel continues as normal. If the new rule could create a deadlock scenario then this condition is printed out. When determining validity of locking, all possible "deadlock scenarios" are considered: assuming arbitrary number of CPUs, arbitrary irq context and task context constellations, running arbitrary combinations of all the existing locking scenarios. In a typical system this means millions of separate scenarios. This is why we call it a "locking correctness" validator - for all rules that are observed the lock validator proves it with mathematical certainty that a deadlock could not occur (assuming that the lock validator implementation itself is correct and its internal data structures are not corrupted by some other kernel subsystem). [see more details and conditionals of this statement in include/linux/lockdep.h and Documentation/lockdep-design.txt] Furthermore, this "all possible scenarios" property of the validator also enables the finding of complex, highly unlikely multi-CPU multi-context races via single single-context rules, increasing the likelyhood of finding bugs drastically. In practical terms: the lock validator already found a bug in the upstream kernel that could only occur on systems with 3 or more CPUs, and which needed 3 very unlikely code sequences to occur at once on the 3 CPUs. That bug was found and reported on a single-CPU system (!). So in essence a race will be found "piecemail-wise", triggering all the necessary components for the race, without having to reproduce the race scenario itself! In its short existence the lock validator found and reported many bugs before they actually caused a real deadlock. To further increase the efficiency of the validator, the mapping is not per "lock instance", but per "lock-class". For example, all struct inode objects in the kernel have inode->inotify_mutex. If there are 10,000 inodes cached, then there are 10,000 lock objects. But ->inotify_mutex is a single "lock type", and all locking activities that occur against ->inotify_mutex are "unified" into this single lock-class. The advantage of the lock-class approach is that all historical ->inotify_mutex uses are mapped into a single (and as narrow as possible) set of locking rules - regardless of how many different tasks or inode structures it took to build this set of rules. The set of rules persist during the lifetime of the kernel. To see the rough magnitude of checking that the lock validator does, here's a portion of /proc/lockdep_stats, fresh after bootup: lock-classes: 694 [max: 2048] direct dependencies: 1598 [max: 8192] indirect dependencies: 17896 all direct dependencies: 16206 dependency chains: 1910 [max: 8192] in-hardirq chains: 17 in-softirq chains: 105 in-process chains: 1065 stack-trace entries: 38761 [max: 131072] combined max dependencies: 2033928 hardirq-safe locks: 24 hardirq-unsafe locks: 176 softirq-safe locks: 53 softirq-unsafe locks: 137 irq-safe locks: 59 irq-unsafe locks: 176 The lock validator has observed 1598 actual single-thread locking patterns, and has validated all possible 2033928 distinct locking scenarios.
