locking/rwsem: Add DEBUG_RWSEMS to look for lock/unlock mismatches

2018-03-31T05:30:50+00:00

For a rwsem, locking can either be exclusive or shared. The corresponding
exclusive or shared unlock must be used. Otherwise, the protected data
structures may get corrupted or the lock may be in an inconsistent state.

In order to detect such anomaly, a new configuration option DEBUG_RWSEMS
is added which can be enabled to look for such mismatches and print
warnings that that happens.

lockdep: Make the lock debug output more useful

2018-03-29T12:41:40+00:00

The lock debug output in print_lock() has a few shortcomings:

 - It prints the hlock->acquire_ip field in %px and %pS format. That's
   redundant information.

 - It lacks information about the lock object itself. The lock class is
   not helpful to identify a particular instance of a lock.

Change the output so it prints:

 - hlock->instance to allow identification of a particular lock instance.

 - only the %pS format of hlock->ip_acquire which is sufficient to decode
   the actual code line with faddr2line.

The resulting output is:

3 locks held by a.out/31106:

locking/rtmutex: Handle non enqueued waiters gracefully in remove_waiter()

2018-03-28T21:01:30+00:00

In -RT task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() may return with -EAGAIN due to
(->pi_blocked_on == PI_WAKEUP_INPROGRESS) before it added itself as a
waiter. In such a case remove_waiter() must not be called because without a
waiter it will trigger the BUG_ON() statement.

This was initially reported by Yimin Deng. Thomas Gleixner fixed it then
with an explicit check for waiters before calling remove_waiter().

Instead of an explicit NULL check before calling rt_mutex_top_waiter() make
the function return NULL if there are no waiters. With that fixed the now
pointless NULL check is removed from rt_mutex_slowlock().

Add kernel-doc for mutex_lock_killable() and mutex_lock_io().  Reword the

rtmutex: Make rt_mutex_futex_unlock() safe for irq-off callsites

When running rcutorture with TREE03 config, CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y, and
kernel cmdline argument "rcutorture.gp_exp=1", lockdep reports a
HARDIRQ-safe->HARDIRQ-unsafe deadlock:

This happens with the following even sequence:

	    ...
	    rcu_note_context_switch():
	      rcu_note_preempt_context_switch():
	        rcu_read_unlock_special():
	          local_irq_save(flags);
	          ...
		  raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(...,flags); // irq remains off
	          rt_mutex_futex_unlock():
	            raw_spin_lock_irq();
	            ...
	            raw_spin_unlock_irq(); // accidentally set irq on

	    
	    rq_lock():
	      raw_spin_lock(); // acquiring rq->lock with irq on

which means rq->lock becomes a HARDIRQ-unsafe lock, which can cause
deadlocks in scheduler code.

This problem was introduced by commit 02a7c234e540 ("rcu: Suppress
lockdep false-positive ->boost_mtx complaints"). That brought the user
of rt_mutex_futex_unlock() with irq off.

To fix this, replace the *lock_irq() in rt_mutex_futex_unlock() with
*lock_irq{save,restore}() to make it safe to call rt_mutex_futex_unlock()
with irq off.

locking/qspinlock: Ensure node->count is updated before initialising node

2018-02-13T13:50:14+00:00

When queuing on the qspinlock, the count field for the current CPU's head
node is incremented. This needn't be atomic because locking in e.g. IRQ
context is balanced and so an IRQ will return with node->count as it
found it.

However, the compiler could in theory reorder the initialisation of
node[idx] before the increment of the head node->count, causing an
IRQ to overwrite the initialised node and potentially corrupt the lock
state.

Avoid the potential for this harmful compiler reordering by placing a
barrier() between the increment of the head node->count and the subsequent
node initialisation.

locking/qspinlock: Ensure node is initialised before updating prev->next

2018-02-13T13:50:14+00:00

When a locker ends up queuing on the qspinlock locking slowpath, we
initialise the relevant mcs node and publish it indirectly by updating
the tail portion of the lock word using xchg_tail. If we find that there
was a pre-existing locker in the queue, we subsequently update their
->next field to point at our node so that we are notified when it's our
turn to take the lock.

This can be roughly illustrated as follows:

  /* Initialise the fields in node and encode a pointer to node in tail */
  tail = initialise_node(node);

  /*
   * Exchange tail into the lockword using an atomic read-modify-write
   * operation with release semantics
   */
  old = xchg_tail(lock, tail);

  /* If there was a pre-existing waiter ... */
  if (old & _Q_TAIL_MASK) {
	prev = decode_tail(old);
	smp_read_barrier_depends();

	/* ... then update their ->next field to point to node.
	WRITE_ONCE(prev->next, node);
  }

The conditional update of prev->next therefore relies on the address
dependency from the result of xchg_tail ensuring order against the
prior initialisation of node. However, since the release semantics of
the xchg_tail operation apply only to the write portion of the RmW,
then this ordering is not guaranteed and it is possible for the CPU
to return old before the writes to node have been published, consequently
allowing us to point prev->next to an uninitialised node.

This patch fixes the problem by making the update of prev->next a RELEASE
operation, which also removes the reliance on dependency ordering.
