locking/mutex: Test for initialized mutex

2019-07-25T13:39:27Z

An uninitialized/ zeroed mutex will go unnoticed because there is no check for it. There is a magic check in the unlock's slowpath path which might go unnoticed if the unlock happens in the fastpath. Add a ->magic check early in the mutex_lock() and mutex_trylock() path.

locking/lockdep: Clean up #ifdef checks

2019-07-25T13:39:26Z

As Will Deacon points out, CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING implies TRACE_IRQFLAGS, so the conditions I added in the previous patch, and some others in the same file can be simplified by only checking for the former. No functional change.

locking/lockdep: Hide unused 'class' variable

2019-07-25T13:39:25Z

The usage is now hidden in an #ifdef, so we need to move the variable itself in there as well to avoid this warning: kernel/locking/lockdep_proc.c:203:21: error: unused variable 'class' [-Werror,-Wunused-variable] Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Bart Van Assche Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Paul E.

lcoking/rwsem: Add missing ACQUIRE to read_slowpath sleep loop

2019-07-25T13:39:24Z

While reviewing another read_slowpath patch, both Will and I noticed another missing ACQUIRE, namely: X = 0; CPU0 CPU1 rwsem_down_read() for (;;) { set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); X = 1; rwsem_up_write(); rwsem_mark_wake() atomic_long_add(adjustment, &sem->count); smp_store_release(&waiter->task, NULL); if (!waiter.task) break; ... } r = X; Allows 'r == 0'.

locking/rwsem: Add missing ACQUIRE to read_slowpath exit when queue is empty

2019-07-25T13:39:23Z

LTP mtest06 has been observed to occasionally hit "still mapped when deleted" and following BUG_ON on arm64. The extra mapcount originated from pagefault handler, which handled pagefault for vma that has already been detached. vma is detached under mmap_sem write lock by detach_vmas_to_be_unmapped(), which also invalidates vmacache. When the pagefault handler (under mmap_sem read lock) calls find_vma(), vmacache_valid() wrongly reports vmacache as valid. After rwsem down_read() returns via 'queue empty' path (as of v5.2), it does so without an ACQUIRE on sem->count: down_read() __down_read() rwsem_down_read_failed() __rwsem_down_read_failed_common() raw_spin_lock_irq(&sem->wait_lock); if (list_empty(&sem->wait_list)) { if (atomic_long_read(&sem->count) >= 0) { raw_spin_unlock_irq(&sem->wait_lock); return sem; The problem can be reproduced by running LTP mtest06 in a loop and building the kernel (-j $NCPUS) in parallel. It does reproduces since v4.20 on arm64 HPE Apollo 70 (224 CPUs, 256GB RAM, 2 nodes). It triggers reliably in about an hour. The patched kernel ran fine for 10+ hours.

locking/rwsem: Don't call owner_on_cpu() on read-owner

2019-07-25T13:39:22Z

For writer, the owner value is cleared on unlock. For reader, it is left intact on unlock for providing better debugging aid on crash dump and the unlock of one reader may not mean the lock is free. As a result, the owner_on_cpu() shouldn't be used on read-owner as the task pointer value may not be valid and it might have been freed. That is the case in rwsem_spin_on_owner(), but not in rwsem_can_spin_on_owner(). This can lead to use-after-free error from KASAN. For example, BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in rwsem_down_write_slowpath (/home/miguel/kernel/linux/kernel/locking/rwsem.c:669 /home/miguel/kernel/linux/kernel/locking/rwsem.c:1125) Fix this by checking for RWSEM_READER_OWNED flag before calling owner_on_cpu().

docs: locking: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst

2019-07-15T11:53:27Z

Convert the locking documents to ReST and add them to the kernel development book where it belongs. Most of the stuff here is just to make Sphinx to properly parse the text file, as they're already in good shape, not requiring massive changes in order to be parsed. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Acked-by: Federico Vaga

locking/lockdep: Fix lock used or unused stats error

2019-07-13T09:24:53Z

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.

Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2019-07-08T23:12:03Z

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar: "The main changes in this cycle are: - rwsem scalability improvements, phase #2, by Waiman Long, which are rather impressive: "On a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system with 40 reader and writer locking threads, the min/mean/max locking operations done in a 5-second testing window before the patchset were: 40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/1,808/1,810 40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/50,344/151,255 After the patchset, they became: 40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 30,057/31,359/32,741 40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 94,466/95,845/97,098" There's a lot of changes to the locking implementation that makes it similar to qrwlock, including owner handoff for more fair locking. Another microbenchmark shows how across the spectrum the improvements are: "With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the total locking rates (in kops/s) on a 2-socket Skylake system with equal numbers of readers and writers (mixed) before and after this patchset were: # of Threads Before Patch After Patch ------------ ------------ ----------- 2 2,618 4,193 4 1,202 3,726 8 802 3,622 16 729 3,359 32 319 2,826 64 102 2,744" The changes are extensive and the patch-set has been through several iterations addressing various locking workloads. There might be more regressions, but unless they are pathological I believe we want to use this new implementation as the baseline going forward. - jump-label optimizations by Daniel Bristot de Oliveira: the primary motivation was to remove IPI disturbance of isolated RT-workload CPUs, which resulted in the implementation of batched jump-label updates. Beyond the improvement of the real-time characteristics kernel, in one test this patchset improved static key update overhead from 57 msecs to just 1.4 msecs - which is a nice speedup as well. - atomic64_t cross-arch type cleanups by Mark Rutland: over the last ~10 years of atomic64_t existence the various types used by the APIs only had to be self-consistent within each architecture - which means they became wildly inconsistent across architectures. Mark puts and end to this by reworking all the atomic64 implementations to use 's64' as the base type for atomic64_t, and to ensure that this type is consistently used for parameters and return values in the API, avoiding further problems in this area. - A large set of small improvements to lockdep by Yuyang Du: type cleanups, output cleanups, function return type and othr cleanups all around the place. - A set of percpu ops cleanups and fixes by Peter Zijlstra. - Misc other changes - please see the Git log for more details" * 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (82 commits) locking/lockdep: increase size of counters for lockdep statistics locking/atomics: Use sed(1) instead of non-standard head(1) option locking/lockdep: Move mark_lock() inside CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS && CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING x86/jump_label: Make tp_vec_nr static x86/percpu: Optimize raw_cpu_xchg() x86/percpu, sched/fair: Avoid local_clock() x86/percpu, x86/irq: Relax {set,get}_irq_regs() x86/percpu: Relax smp_processor_id() x86/percpu: Differentiate this_cpu_{}() and __this_cpu_{}() locking/rwsem: Guard against making count negative locking/rwsem: Adaptive disabling of reader optimistic spinning locking/rwsem: Enable time-based spinning on reader-owned rwsem locking/rwsem: Make rwsem->owner an atomic_long_t locking/rwsem: Enable readers spinning on writer locking/rwsem: Clarify usage of owner's nonspinaable bit locking/rwsem: Wake up almost all readers in wait queue locking/rwsem: More optimal RT task handling of null owner locking/rwsem: Always release wait_lock before waking up tasks locking/rwsem: Implement lock handoff to prevent lock starvation locking/rwsem: Make rwsem_spin_on_owner() return owner state ...
