Unless it was duplicate on purpose, to emphasize that a raw_spinlock_t
is always a spinning lock regardless of PREEMPT_RT or kernel config,
it's a bit odd that this text is duplicate. So, this patch just clean
it up, keeping the consistency with the other sections of the text.

The initial implementation of migrate_disable() for mainline was a
wrapper around preempt_disable(). RT kernels substituted this with
a real migrate disable implementation.
Later on mainline gained true migrate disable support, but the
documentation was not updated.
Update the documentation, remove the claims about migrate_disable()
mapping to preempt_disable() on non-PREEMPT_RT kernels.

Latch sequence counters are a multiversion concurrency control mechanism
where the seqcount_t counter even/odd value is used to switch between
two copies of protected data. This allows the seqcount_t read path to
safely interrupt its write side critical section (e.g. from NMIs).
Initially, latch sequence counters were implemented as a single write
function above plain seqcount_t: raw_write_seqcount_latch(). The read
side was expected to use plain seqcount_t raw_read_seqcount().
A specialized latch read function, raw_read_seqcount_latch(), was later
added. It became the standardized way for latch read paths. Due to the
dependent load, it has one read memory barrier less than the plain
seqcount_t raw_read_seqcount() API.
Only raw_write_seqcount_latch() and raw_read_seqcount_latch() should be
used with latch sequence counters. Having *unique* read and write path
APIs means that latch sequence counters are actually a data type of
their own -- just inappropriately overloading plain seqcount_t.
Introduce seqcount_latch_t. This adds type-safety and ensures that only
the correct latch-safe APIs are to be used.
Not to break bisection, let the latch APIs also accept plain seqcount_t
or seqcount_raw_spinlock_t. After converting all call sites to
seqcount_latch_t, only that new data type will be allowed.

* Explain what is a recursive read lock, and what deadlock cases
they could introduce.
* Introduce the notations for different types of dependencies, and
the definition of strong paths.
* Proof for a closed strong path is both sufficient and necessary
for deadlock detections with recursive read locks involved. The

- Untangle the header spaghetti which causes build failures in various
situations caused by the lockdep additions to seqcount to validate that
the write side critical sections are non-preemptible.
- The seqcount associated lock debug addons which were blocked by the
above fallout.
seqcount writers contrary to seqlock writers must be externally
serialized, which usually happens via locking - except for strict per
CPU seqcounts. As the lock is not part of the seqcount, lockdep cannot
validate that the lock is held.
This new debug mechanism adds the concept of associated locks.
sequence count has now lock type variants and corresponding
initializers which take a pointer to the associated lock used for
writer serialization. If lockdep is enabled the pointer is stored and
write_seqcount_begin() has a lockdep assertion to validate that the
lock is held.
Aside of the type and the initializer no other code changes are
required at the seqcount usage sites. The rest of the seqcount API is
unchanged and determines the type at compile time with the help of
_Generic which is possible now that the minimal GCC version has been
moved up.
Adding this lockdep coverage unearthed a handful of seqcount bugs which
have been addressed already independent of this.
While generaly useful this comes with a Trojan Horse twist: On RT
kernels the write side critical section can become preemtible if the
writers are serialized by an associated lock, which leads to the well
known reader preempts writer livelock. RT prevents this by storing the
associated lock pointer independent of lockdep in the seqcount and
changing the reader side to block on the lock when a reader detects
that a writer is in the write side critical section.

A sequence counter write side critical section must be protected by some
form of locking to serialize writers. If the serialization primitive is
not disabling preemption implicitly, preemption has to be explicitly
disabled before entering the write side critical section.
There is no built-in debugging mechanism to verify that the lock used
for writer serialization is held and preemption is disabled. Some usage
sites like dma-buf have explicit lockdep checks for the writer-side
lock, but this covers only a small portion of the sequence counter usage
in the kernel.
Add new sequence counter types which allows to associate a lock to the
sequence counter at initialization time. The seqcount API functions are
extended to provide appropriate lockdep assertions depending on the
seqcount/lock type.
For sequence counters with associated locks that do not implicitly
disable preemption, preemption protection is enforced in the sequence
counter write side functions. This removes the need to explicitly add
preempt_disable/enable() around the write side critical sections: the
write_begin/end() functions for these new sequence counter types
automatically do this.
Introduce the following seqcount types with associated locks:
seqcount_spinlock_t
seqcount_raw_spinlock_t
seqcount_rwlock_t
seqcount_mutex_t
seqcount_ww_mutex_t
Extend the seqcount read and write functions to branch out to the
specific seqcount_LOCKTYPE_t implementation at compile-time. This avoids
kernel API explosion per each new seqcount_LOCKTYPE_t added. Add such
compile-time type detection logic into a new, internal, seqlock header.
Document the proper seqcount_LOCKTYPE_t usage, and rationale, at
Documentation/locking/seqlock.rst.
If lockdep is disabled, this lock association is compiled out and has
neither storage size nor runtime overhead.

Proper documentation for the design and usage of sequence counters and
sequential locks does not exist. Complete the seqlock.h documentation as
follows:
- Divide all documentation on a seqcount_t vs. seqlock_t basis. The
description for both mechanisms was intermingled, which is incorrect
since the usage constrains for each type are vastly different.
- Add an introductory paragraph describing the internal design of, and
rationale for, sequence counters.
- Document seqcount_t writer non-preemptibility requirement, which was
not previously documented anywhere, and provide a clear rationale.
- Provide template code for seqcount_t and seqlock_t initialization
and reader/writer critical sections.
- Recommend using seqlock_t by default. It implicitly handles the
serialization and non-preemptibility requirements of writers.
At seqlock.h:
- Remove references to brlocks as they've long been removed from the
kernel.
- Remove references to gcc-3.x since the kernel's minimum supported
gcc version is 4.9.

preempt_disable() and local_irq_disable/save() are in principle per CPU big
kernel locks. This has several downsides:
- The protection scope is unknown
- Violation of protection rules is hard to detect by instrumentation
- For PREEMPT_RT such sections, unless in low level critical code, can
violate the preemptability constraints.
To address this PREEMPT_RT introduced the concept of local_locks which are
strictly per CPU.
The lock operations map to preempt_disable(), local_irq_disable/save() and
the enabling counterparts on non RT enabled kernels.
If lockdep is enabled local locks gain a lock map which tracks the usage
context. This will catch cases where an area is protected by
preempt_disable() but the access also happens from interrupt context. local
locks have identified quite a few such issues over the years, the most
recent example is:
b7d5dc2107 ("random: add a spinlock_t to struct batched_entropy")
Aside of the lockdep coverage this also improves code readability as it
precisely annotates the protection scope.
PREEMPT_RT substitutes these local locks with 'sleeping' spinlocks to
protect such sections while maintaining preemtability and CPU locality.
local locks can replace:
- preempt_enable()/disable() pairs
- local_irq_disable/enable() pairs
- local_irq_save/restore() pairs
They are also used to replace code which implicitly disables preemption
like:
- get_cpu()/put_cpu()
- get_cpu_var()/put_cpu_var()
with PREEMPT_RT friendly constructs.

Most of the stuff here is just to make Sphinx to properly

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.

This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned)
and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct
way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox.
The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present
in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their
usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal
the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as
a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise
anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers)
A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really
needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps
it is time to just throw them out.
A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first
counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last
is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX.
List of outdated 00-INDEX:
Documentation: (4/10)
Documentation/sysctl: (0/1)
Documentation/timers: (1/0)
Documentation/blockdev: (3/1)
Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1)
Documentation/locking: (0/1)
Documentation/devicetree: (0/5)
Documentation/power: (1/1)
Documentation/powerpc: (0/5)
Documentation/arm: (1/0)
Documentation/x86: (0/9)
Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1)
Documentation/scsi: (4/4)

Documentation/scheduler: (0/2)
Documentation/fb: (0/1)
Documentation/block: (0/1)
Documentation/networking: (6/37)
Documentation/vm: (1/3)
Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that
are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no
00-INDEX).
I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX,
but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If
we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not
if we just want to delete them anyway.
As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and
see where the discussion is going.

The current Wound-Wait mutex algorithm is actually not Wound-Wait but
Wait-Die. Implement also Wound-Wait as a per-ww-class choice. Wound-Wait
is, contrary to Wait-Die a preemptive algorithm and is known to generate
fewer backoffs. Testing reveals that this is true if the
number of simultaneous contending transactions is small.
As the number of simultaneous contending threads increases, Wait-Wound
becomes inferior to Wait-Die in terms of elapsed time.
Possibly due to the larger number of held locks of sleeping transactions.
Update documentation and callers.
