* locking/mcs: Use smp_cond_load_acquire() in MCS spin loopJason Low2018-04-271-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For qspinlocks on ARM64, we would like to use WFE instead of purely spinning. Qspinlocks internally have lock contenders spin on an MCS lock. Update arch_mcs_spin_lock_contended() such that it uses the new smp_cond_load_acquire() so that ARM64 can also override this spin loop with its own implementation using WFE. On x86, this can also be cheaper than spinning on smp_load_acquire().

* License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman2017-11-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

* locking/mcs: Fix mcs_spin_lock() orderingPeter Zijlstra2016-02-291-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Similar to commit b4b29f94856a ("locking/osq: Fix ordering of node initialisation in osq_lock") the use of xchg_acquire() is fundamentally broken with MCS like constructs. Furthermore, it turns out we rely on the global transitivity of this operation because the unlock path observes the pointer with a READ_ONCE(), not an smp_load_acquire(). This is non-critical because the MCS code isn't actually used and mostly serves as documentation, a stepping stone to the more complex things we've build on top of the idea.

While currently only arm64 supports such optimizations, updating corresponding locking primitives serves for other archs to immediately benefit as well, once the necessary machinery is implemented of course.

* locking/qspinlock: Introduce a simple generic 4-byte queued spinlockWaiman Long2015-05-081-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* locking: Remove ACCESS_ONCE() usageDavidlohr Bueso2015-02-241-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the new standardized functions, we can replace all ACCESS_ONCE() calls across relevant locking - this includes lockref and seqlock while at it. ACCESS_ONCE() does not work reliably on non-scalar types. For example gcc 4.6 and 4.7 might remove the volatile tag for such accesses during the SRA (scalar replacement of aggregates) step: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145 Update the new calls regardless of if it is a scalar type, this is cleaner than having three alternatives.

* locking/mcs: Better differentiate between MCS variantsDavidlohr Bueso2015-01-141-16/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have two flavors of the MCS spinlock: standard and cancelable (OSQ). While each one is independent of the other, we currently mix and match them. This patch: - Moves the OSQ code out of mcs_spinlock.h (which only deals with the traditional version) into include/linux/osq_lock.h. No unnecessary code is added to the more global header file, anything locks that make use of OSQ must include it anyway. - Renames mcs_spinlock.c to osq_lock.c. This file only contains osq code. - Introduces a CONFIG_LOCK_SPIN_ON_OWNER in order to only build osq_lock if there is support for it.

* arch, locking: Ciao arch_mutex_cpu_relax()Davidlohr Bueso2014-07-171-2/+2

It was added a few years ago to address the fact that common cpu_relax() calls include yielding on s390, and thus impact the optimistic spinning functionality of mutexes. Nowadays we use this function well beyond mutexes: rwsem, qrwlock, mcs and lockref. Since the macro that defines the call is in the mutex header, any users must include mutex.h and the naming is misleading as well. This patch (i) renames the call to cpu_relax_lowlatency ("relax, but only if you can do it with very low latency") and (ii) defines it in each arch's asm/processor.h local header, just like for regular cpu_relax functions. On all archs, except s390, cpu_relax_lowlatency is simply cpu_relax, and thus we can take it out of mutex.h. While this can seem redundant, I believe it is a good choice as it allows us to move out arch specific logic from generic locking primitives and enables future(?) archs to transparently define it, similarly to System Z.

* locking/spinlocks/mcs: Convert osq lock to atomic_t to reduce overheadJason Low2014-07-161-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The cancellable MCS spinlock is currently used to queue threads that are doing optimistic spinning. It uses per-cpu nodes, where a thread obtaining the lock would access and queue the local node corresponding to the CPU that it's running on. Currently, the cancellable MCS lock is implemented by using pointers to these nodes. In this patch, instead of operating on pointers to the per-cpu nodes, we store the CPU numbers in which the per-cpu nodes correspond to in atomic_t. A similar concept is used with the qspinlock. By operating on the CPU # of the nodes using atomic_t instead of pointers to those nodes, this can reduce the overhead of the cancellable MCS spinlock by 32 bits (on 64 bit systems).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the per-cpu nodes structure for the cancellable MCS spinlock is named "optimistic_spin_queue". However, in a follow up patch in the series we will be introducing a new structure that serves as the new "handle" for the lock. It would make more sense if that structure is named "optimistic_spin_queue". Additionally, since the current use of the "optimistic_spin_queue" structure are "nodes", it might be better if we rename them to "node" anyway. This preparatory patch renames all current "optimistic_spin_queue" to "optimistic_spin_node".

* locking/mutexes: Introduce cancelable MCS lock for adaptive spinningPeter Zijlstra2014-03-111-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since we want a task waiting for a mutex_lock() to go to sleep and reschedule on need_resched() we must be able to abort the mcs_spin_lock() around the adaptive spin. Therefore implement a cancelable mcs lock.

* locking: Move mcs_spinlock.h into kernel/locking/Peter Zijlstra2014-03-111-0/+114
The mcs_spinlock code is not meant (or suitable) as a generic locking primitive, therefore take it away from the normal includes and place it in kernel/locking/. This way the locking primitives implemented there can use it as part of their implementation but we do not risk it getting used inapropriately.
