The 'invalid wait context' splat doesn't print all the information
required to reconstruct / validate the error, specifically the
irq-context state is missing.

<title>locking/percpu-rwsem: Fix a task_struct refcount</title>

The following commit:

  7f26482a872c ("locking/percpu-rwsem: Remove the embedded rwsem")

introduced task_struct memory leaks due to messing up the task_struct
refcount.

At the beginning of percpu_rwsem_wake_function(), it calls get_task_struct(),
but if the trylock failed, it will remain in the waitqueue. However, it
will run percpu_rwsem_wake_function() again with get_task_struct() to
increase the refcount but then only call put_task_struct() once the trylock
succeeded.

Fix it by adjusting percpu_rwsem_wake_function() a bit to guard against
when percpu_rwsem_wait() observing !private, terminating the wait and
doing a quick exit() while percpu_rwsem_wake_function() then doing
wake_up_process(p) as a use-after-free.

Pull x86 entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Convert the 32bit syscalls to be pt_regs based which removes the
   requirement to push all 6 potential arguments onto the stack and
   consolidates the interface with the 64bit variant

 - The first small portion of the exception and syscall related entry
   code consolidation which aims to address the recently discovered
   issues vs. RCU, int3, NMI and some other exceptions which can
   interrupt any context. The bulk of the changes is still work in
   progress and aimed for 5.8.

 - A few lockdep namespace cleanups which have been applied into this
   branch to keep the prerequisites for the ongoing work confined.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Continued user-access cleanups in the futex code.

   - percpu-rwsem rewrite that uses its own waitqueue and atomic_t
     instead of an embedded rwsem. This addresses a couple of
     weaknesses, but the primary motivation was complications on the -rt
     kernel.

   - Introduce raw lock nesting detection on lockdep
     (CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING=y), document the raw_lock vs. normal
     lock differences. This too originates from -rt.

   - Reuse lockdep zapped chain_hlocks entries, to conserve RAM
     footprint on distro-ish kernels running into the "BUG:
     MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_HLOCKS too low!" depletion of the lockdep
     chain-entries pool.

   - Misc cleanups, smaller fixes and enhancements - see the changelog
     for details"

Set current-&gt;irq_config = 1 for hrtimers which are not marked to expire in
hard interrupt context during hrtimer_init(). These timers will expire in
softirq context on PREEMPT_RT.

Setting this allows lockdep to differentiate these timers. If a timer is
marked to expire in hard interrupt context then the timer callback is not
supposed to acquire a regular spinlock instead of a raw_spinlock in the
expiry callback.

<title>lockdep: Introduce wait-type checks</title>

<id>urn:sha1:de8f5e4f2dc1f032b46afda0a78cab5456974f89</id>
<content type='text'>
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(&amp;foo);
  spin_lock(&amp;bar);
  spin_unlock(&amp;bar);
  raw_spin_unlock(&amp;foo);

 [ BUG: Invalid wait context ]
 -----------------------------
 swapper/0/1 is trying to lock:
 ffffc90000013f20 (&amp;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 (&amp;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.

	   failure with CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK + !CONFIG_LOCKDEP]
[ tglx: Add the config option ]
