b4abf91047 rtmutex: Make wait_lock irq safe
Sasha reported a lockdep splat about a potential deadlock between RCU boosting
rtmutex and the posix timer it_lock.

CPU0					CPU1

rtmutex_lock(&rcu->rt_mutex)
  spin_lock(&rcu->rt_mutex.wait_lock)
					local_irq_disable()
					spin_lock(&timer->it_lock)
					spin_lock(&rcu->mutex.wait_lock)
--> Interrupt
    spin_lock(&timer->it_lock)

This is caused by the following code sequence on CPU1

     rcu_read_lock()
     x = lookup();
     if (x)
     	spin_lock_irqsave(&x->it_lock);
     rcu_read_unlock();
     return x;

We could fix that in the posix timer code by keeping rcu read locked across
the spinlocked and irq disabled section, but the above sequence is common and
there is no reason not to support it.

Taking rt_mutex.wait_lock irq safe prevents the deadlock.

b4b29f9485 locking/osq: Fix ordering of node initialisation in osq_lock
The Cavium guys reported a soft lockup on their arm64 machine, caused by
commit c55a6ffa62 ("locking/osq: Relax atomic semantics"):

    mutex_optimistic_spin+0x9c/0x1d0
    __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x44/0x158
    mutex_lock+0x54/0x58
    kernfs_iop_permission+0x38/0x70
    __inode_permission+0x88/0xd8
    inode_permission+0x30/0x6c
    link_path_walk+0x68/0x4d4
    path_openat+0xb4/0x2bc
    do_filp_open+0x74/0xd0
    do_sys_open+0x14c/0x228
    SyS_openat+0x3c/0x48
    el0_svc_naked+0x24/0x28

This is because in osq_lock we initialise the node for the current CPU:

    node->locked = 0;
    node->next = NULL;
    node->cpu = curr;

and then publish the current CPU in the lock tail:

    old = atomic_xchg_acquire(&lock->tail, curr);

Once the update to lock->tail is visible to another CPU, the node is
then live and can be both read and updated by concurrent lockers.

Unfortunately, the ACQUIRE semantics of the xchg operation mean that
there is no guarantee the contents of the node will be visible before
lock tail is updated.  This can lead to lock corruption when, for
example, a concurrent locker races to set the next field.

cd0272fab7 locking/pvqspinlock: Queue node adaptive spinning
In an overcommitted guest where some vCPUs have to be halted to make
forward progress in other areas, it is highly likely that a vCPU later
in the spinlock queue will be spinning while the ones earlier in the
queue would have been halted. The spinning in the later vCPUs is then
just a waste of precious CPU cycles because they are not going to
get the lock soon as the earlier ones have to be woken up and take
their turn to get the lock.

This patch implements an adaptive spinning mechanism where the vCPU
will call pv_wait() if the previous vCPU is not running.

Linux kernel builds were run in KVM guest on an 8-socket, 4
cores/socket Westmere-EX system and a 4-socket, 8 cores/socket
Haswell-EX system. Both systems are configured to have 32 physical
CPUs. The kernel build times before and after the patch were:

		    Westmere			Haswell
  Patch		32 vCPUs    48 vCPUs	32 vCPUs    48 vCPUs
  -----		--------    --------    --------    --------
  Before patch   3m02.3s     5m00.2s     1m43.7s     3m03.5s
  After patch    3m03.0s     4m37.5s	 1m43.0s     2m47.2s

For 32 vCPUs, this patch doesn't cause any noticeable change in
performance. For 48 vCPUs (over-committed), there is about 8%
performance improvement.

1c4941fd53 locking/pvqspinlock: Allow limited lock stealing
This patch allows one attempt for the lock waiter to steal the lock
when entering the PV slowpath. To prevent lock starvation, the pending
bit will be set by the queue head vCPU when it is in the active lock
spinning loop to disable any lock stealing attempt.  This helps to
reduce the performance penalty caused by lock waiter preemption while
not having much of the downsides of a real unfair lock.

The pv_wait_head() function was renamed as pv_wait_head_or_lock()
as it was modified to acquire the lock before returning. This is
necessary because of possible lock stealing attempts from other tasks.

Linux kernel builds were run in KVM guest on an 8-socket, 4
cores/socket Westmere-EX system and a 4-socket, 8 cores/socket
Haswell-EX system. Both systems are configured to have 32 physical
CPUs. The kernel build times before and after the patch were:

                    Westmere                    Haswell

  Before patch   3m15.6s    10m56.1s     1m44.1s     5m29.1s
  After patch    3m02.3s     5m00.2s     1m43.7s     3m03.5s

For the overcommited case (48 vCPUs), this patch is able to reduce
kernel build time by more than 54% for Westmere and 44% for Haswell.

45e898b735 locking/pvqspinlock: Collect slowpath lock statistics
This patch enables the accumulation of kicking and waiting related
PV qspinlock statistics when the new QUEUED_LOCK_STAT configuration
option is selected. It also enables the collection of data which
enable us to calculate the kicking and wakeup latencies which have
a heavy dependency on the CPUs being used.

The statistical counters are per-cpu variables to minimize the
performance overhead in their updates. These counters are exported
via the debugfs filesystem under the qlockstat directory.  When the
corresponding debugfs files are read, summation and computing of the
required data are then performed.

The measured latencies for different CPUs are:

	CPU		Wakeup		Kicking
	---		------		-------
	Haswell-EX	63.6us		 7.4us
	Westmere-EX	67.6us		 9.3us

The measured latencies varied a bit from run-to-run. The wakeup
latency is much higher than the kicking latency.

A sample of statistical counters after system bootup (with vCPU
overcommit) was:

	pv_hash_hops=1.00
	pv_kick_unlock=1148
	pv_kick_wake=1146
	pv_latency_kick=11040
	pv_latency_wake=194840
	pv_spurious_wakeup=7
	pv_wait_again=4
	pv_wait_head=23
	pv_wait_node=1129

b3e0b1b6d8 locking, sched: Introduce smp_cond_acquire() and use it
Introduce smp_cond_acquire() which combines a control dependency and a
read barrier to form acquire semantics.

This primitive has two benefits:

 - it documents control dependencies,
 - its typically cheaper than using smp_load_acquire() in a loop.

d78045306c locking/pvqspinlock, x86: Optimize the PV unlock code path
The unlock function in queued spinlocks was optimized for better
performance on bare metal systems at the expense of virtualized guests.

For x86-64 systems, the unlock call needs to go through a
PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK() which saves and restores 8 64-bit
registers before calling the real __pv_queued_spin_unlock()
function. The thunk code may also be in a separate cacheline from
__pv_queued_spin_unlock().

This patch optimizes the PV unlock code path by:

 1) Moving the unlock slowpath code from the fastpath into a separate
    __pv_queued_spin_unlock_slowpath() function to make the fastpath
    as simple as possible..

 2) For x86-64, hand-coded an assembly function to combine the register
    saving thunk code with the fastpath code. Only registers that
    are used in the fastpath will be saved and restored. If the
    fastpath fails, the slowpath function will be called via another
    PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK(). For 32-bit, it falls back to the C
    __pv_queued_spin_unlock() code as the thunk saves and restores
    only one 32-bit register.

With a microbenchmark of 5M lock-unlock loop, the table below shows
the execution times before and after the patch with different number
of threads in a VM running on a 32-core Westmere-EX box with x86-64
4.2-rc1 based kernels:

aa68744f80 locking/qspinlock: Avoid redundant read of next pointer
With optimistic prefetch of the next node cacheline, the next pointer
may have been properly inititalized. As a result, the reading
of node->next in the contended path may be redundant. This patch

81b5598665 locking/qspinlock: Prefetch the next node cacheline
A queue head CPU, after acquiring the lock, will have to notify
the next CPU in the wait queue that it has became the new queue
head. This involves loading a new cacheline from the MCS node of the
next CPU. That operation can be expensive and add to the latency of
locking operation.

This patch addes code to optmistically prefetch the next MCS node
cacheline if the next pointer is defined and it has been spinning
for the MCS lock for a while. This reduces the locking latency and
improves the system throughput.

The performance change will depend on whether the prefetch overhead
can be hidden within the latency of the lock spin loop. On really
short critical section, there may not be performance gain at all. With
longer critical section, however, it was found to have a performance
boost of 5-10% over a range of different queue depths with a spinlock
loop microbenchmark.

d0164adc89 mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd
__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts.  They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve".  __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".

Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available.  Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.

This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative.  High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH.  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim.  __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim.  __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.

This patch then converts a number of sites

o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
  pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.

o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
  into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
  are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.

o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
  helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
  checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
  positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
  is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
  flag manipulations.

o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
  and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.

The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.

The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL.  They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.  It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - More gradual enhancements to atomic ops: new atomic*_read_ctrl()
     ops, synchronize atomic_{read,set}() ordering requirements between
     architectures, add atomic_long_t bitops.  (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Add _{relaxed|acquire|release}() variants for inc/dec atomics and
     use them in various locking primitives: mutex, rtmutex, mcs, rwsem.
     This enables weakly ordered architectures (such as arm64) to make
     use of more locking related optimizations.  (Davidlohr Bueso)

   - Implement atomic[64]_{inc,dec}_relaxed() on ARM.  (Will Deacon)

   - Futex kernel data cache footprint micro-optimization.  (Rasmus
     Villemoes)

   - pvqspinlock runtime overhead micro-optimization.  (Waiman Long)

a36a99618b locktorture: Fix module unwind when bad torture_type specified
The locktorture module has a list of torture types, and specifying
a type not on this list is supposed to cleanly fail the module load.
Unfortunately, the "fail" happens without the "cleanly".  This commit
therefore adds the needed clean-up after an incorrect torture_type.

Change percpu_down_read() to use __down_read(), this way we can
do rwsem_acquire_read() unconditionally at the start to make this
code more symmetric and clean.

001dac627f locking/percpu-rwsem: Make use of the rcu_sync infrastructure
Currently down_write/up_write calls synchronize_sched_expedited()
twice, which is evil.  Change this code to rely on rcu-sync primitives.
This avoids the _expedited "big hammer", and this can be faster in
the contended case or even in the case when a single thread does
down_write/up_write in a loop.

Of course, a single down_write() will take more time, but otoh it
will be much more friendly to the whole system.

To simplify the review this patch doesn't update the comments, fixed
by the next change.

This is the temporary ugly hack which will be reverted later. We only
need it to ensure that the next patch will not break "change sb_writers
to use percpu_rw_semaphore" patches routed via the VFS tree.

The alloc_super()->destroy_super() error path assumes that it is safe
to call percpu_free_rwsem() after kzalloc() without percpu_init_rwsem(),
so let's not disappoint it.

095777c417 locktorture: Support rtmutex torturing
Real time mutexes is one of the few general primitives
that we do not have in locktorture. Address this -- a few
considerations:

o To spice things up, enable competing thread(s) to become
rt, such that we can stress different prio boosting paths
in the rtmutex code. Introduce a ->task_boost callback,
only used by rtmutex-torturer. Tasks will boost/deboost
around every 50k (arbitrarily) lock/unlock operations.

o Hold times are similar to what we have for other locks:
only occasionally having longer hold times (per ~200k ops).
So we roughly do two full rt boost+deboosting ops with
short hold times.

One should spin on the variable with a load, not a RMW.

77e430e3e4 locking/qrwlock: Make use of _{acquire|release|relaxed}() atomics
The qrwlock implementation is slightly heavy in its use of memory
barriers, mainly through the use of _cmpxchg() and _return() atomics, which
imply full barrier semantics.

This patch modifies the qrwlock code to use the more relaxed atomic
routines so that we can reduce the unnecessary barrier overhead on
weakly-ordered architectures.

75d2270280 locking/pvqspinlock: Only kick CPU at unlock time
For an over-committed guest with more vCPUs than physical CPUs
available, it is possible that a vCPU may be kicked twice before
getting the lock - once before it becomes queue head and once again
before it gets the lock. All these CPU kicking and halting (VMEXIT)
can be expensive and slow down system performance.

This patch adds a new vCPU state (vcpu_hashed) which enables the code
to delay CPU kicking until at unlock time. Once this state is set,
the new lock holder will set _Q_SLOW_VAL and fill in the hash table
on behalf of the halted queue head vCPU. The original vcpu_halted
state will be used by pv_wait_node() only to differentiate other
queue nodes from the qeue head.

ffffeaf318 locking/qrwlock: Reduce reader/writer to reader lock transfer latency
Currently, a reader will check first to make sure that the writer mode
byte is cleared before incrementing the reader count. That waiting is
not really necessary. It increases the latency in the reader/writer
to reader transition and reduces readers performance.

This patch eliminates that waiting. It also has the side effect
of reducing the chance of writer lock stealing and improving the
fairness of the lock. Using a locking microbenchmark, a 10-threads 5M
locking loop of mostly readers (RW ratio = 10,000:1) has the following
performance numbers in a Haswell-EX box:

        Kernel          Locking Rate (Kops/s)

3b3fdf10a8 locking/pvqspinlock: Order pv_unhash() after cmpxchg() on unlock slowpath
When we unlock in __pv_queued_spin_unlock(), a failed cmpxchg() on the lock
value indicates that we need to take the slow-path and unhash the
corresponding node blocked on the lock.

Since a failed cmpxchg() does not provide any memory-ordering guarantees,
it is possible that the node data could be read before the cmpxchg() on
weakly-ordered architectures and therefore return a stale value, leading
to hash corruption and/or a BUG().

This patch adds an smb_rmb() following the failed cmpxchg operation, so
that the unhashing is ordered after the lock has been checked.

cba77f03f2 locking/pvqspinlock: Fix kernel panic in locking-selftest
Enabling locking-selftest in a VM guest may cause the following
kernel panic:

  kernel BUG at .../kernel/locking/qspinlock_paravirt.h:137!

This is due to the fact that the pvqspinlock unlock function is
expecting either a _Q_LOCKED_VAL or _Q_SLOW_VAL in the lock
byte. This patch prevents that bug report by ignoring it when
debug_locks_silent is set. Otherwise, a warning will be printed
if it contains an unexpected value.

With this patch applied, the kernel locking-selftest completed
without any noise.
