d7bc3197b4 lockdep: Make print_lock() robust against concurrent release
During sysrq's show-held-locks command it is possible that
hlock_class() returns NULL for a given lock. The result is then (after
the warning):

	|BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000001c
	|IP: [<c1088145>] get_usage_chars+0x5/0x100
	|Call Trace:
	| [<c1088263>] print_lock_name+0x23/0x60
	| [<c1576b57>] print_lock+0x5d/0x7e

	| [<c1315c48>] sysrq_handle_showlocks+0x8/0x10

This *might* happen because the thread on the other CPU drops the lock
after we are looking ->lockdep_depth and ->held_locks points no longer
to a lock that is held.

The fix here is to simply ignore it and continue.

01ac33c1f9 locking/mutex: Further simplify mutex_spin_on_owner()
Similar to what Linus suggested for rwsem_spin_on_owner(), in
mutex_spin_on_owner() instead of having while (true) and
breaking out of the spin loop on lock->owner != owner, we can
have the loop directly check for while (lock->owner == owner) to
improve the readability of the code.

It also shrinks the code a bit:

35a9393c95 lockdep: Fix the module unload key range freeing logic
Module unload calls lockdep_free_key_range(), which removes entries
from the data structures. Most of the lockdep code OTOH assumes the
data structures are append only; in specific see the comments in
add_lock_to_list() and look_up_lock_class().

Clearly this has only worked by accident; make it work proper. The
actual scenario to make it go boom would involve the memory freed by
the module unlock being re-allocated and re-used for a lock inside of
a rcu-sched grace period. This is a very unlikely scenario, still
better plug the hole.

Use RCU list iteration in all places and ammend the comments.

Change lockdep_free_key_range() to issue a sync_sched() between
removal from the lists and returning -- which results in the memory
being freed. Further ensure the callers are placed correctly and
comment the requirements.

9198f6edfd locking/rwsem: Fix lock optimistic spinning when owner is not running
Ming reported soft lockups occurring when running xfstest due to
the following tip:locking/core commit:

  b3fd4f03ca ("locking/rwsem: Avoid deceiving lock spinners")

When doing optimistic spinning in rwsem, threads should stop
spinning when the lock owner is not running. While a thread is
spinning on owner, if the owner reschedules, owner->on_cpu
returns false and we stop spinning.

However, this commit essentially caused the check to get
ignored because when we break out of the spin loop due to
!on_cpu, we continue spinning if sem->owner != NULL.

This patch fixes this by making sure we stop spinning if the
owner is not running. Furthermore, just like with mutexes,
refactor the code such that we don't have separate checks for
owner_running(). This makes it more straightforward in terms of
why we exit the spin on owner loop and we would also avoid
needing to "guess" why we broke out of the loop to make this
more readable.

9d3e2d02f5 locking/rtmutex: Set state back to running on error
The "usual" path is:

 - rt_mutex_slowlock()
 - set_current_state()
 - task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() (ret 0)
 - __rt_mutex_slowlock()
   - sleep or not but do return with __set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING)
 - back to caller.

In the early error case where task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() return
-EDEADLK we never change the task's state back to RUNNING. I
assume this is intended. Without this change after ww_mutex
using rt_mutex the selftest passes but later I get plenty of:

  | bad: scheduling from the idle thread!

4d3199e4ca locking: Remove ACCESS_ONCE() usage
With the new standardized functions, we can replace all
ACCESS_ONCE() calls across relevant locking - this includes
lockref and seqlock while at it.

ACCESS_ONCE() does not work reliably on non-scalar types.
For example gcc 4.6 and 4.7 might remove the volatile tag
for such accesses during the SRA (scalar replacement of
aggregates) step:

  https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145

Update the new calls regardless of if it is a scalar type,
this is cleaner than having three alternatives.

1a99367023 locking/rwsem: Check for active lock before bailing on spinning
37e9562453 ("locking/rwsem: Allow conservative optimistic
spinning when readers have lock") forced the default for
optimistic spinning to be disabled if the lock owner was
nil, which makes much sense for readers. However, while
it is not our priority, we can make some optimizations
for write-mostly workloads. We can bail the spinning step
and still be conservative if there are any active tasks,
otherwise there's really no reason not to spin, as the
semaphore is most likely unlocked.

This patch recovers most of a Unixbench 'execl' benchmark
throughput by sleeping less and making better average system
usage:

b3fd4f03ca locking/rwsem: Avoid deceiving lock spinners
When readers hold the semaphore, the ->owner is nil. As such,
and unlike mutexes, '!owner' does not necessarily imply that
the lock is free. This will cause writers to potentially spin
excessively as they've been mislead to thinking they have a
chance of acquiring the lock, instead of blocking.

This patch therefore enhances the counter check when the owner
is not set by the time we've broken out of the loop. Otherwise
we can return true as a new owner has the lock and thus we want
to continue spinning. While at it, we can make rwsem_spin_on_owner()
less ambiguos and return right away under need_resched conditions.

7a215f89a0 locking/rwsem: Set lock ownership ASAP
In order to optimize the spinning step, we need to set the lock
owner as soon as the lock is acquired; after a successful counter
cmpxchg operation, that is. This is particularly useful as rwsems
need to set the owner to nil for readers, so there is a greater
chance of falling out of the spinning. Currently we only set the
owner much later in the game, in the more generic level -- latency
can be specially bad when waiting for a node->next pointer when
releasing the osq in up_write calls.

As such, update the owner inside rwsem_try_write_lock (when the
lock is obtained after blocking) and rwsem_try_write_lock_unqueued
(when the lock is obtained while spinning). This requires creating
a new internal rwsem.h header to share the owner related calls.

Also cleanup some headers for mutex and rwsem.

be1f7bf217 locking/mutex: Refactor mutex_spin_on_owner()
As suggested by Davidlohr, we could refactor mutex_spin_on_owner().

Currently, we split up owner_running() with mutex_spin_on_owner().
When the owner changes, we make duplicate owner checks which are not
necessary. It also makes the code a bit obscure as we are using a
second check to figure out why we broke out of the loop.

This patch modifies it such that we remove the owner_running() function
and the mutex_spin_on_owner() loop directly checks for if the owner changes,
if the owner is not running, or if we need to reschedule. If the owner
changes, we break out of the loop and return true. If the owner is not
running or if we need to reschedule, then break out of the loop and return
false.

07d2413a61 locking/mutex: In mutex_spin_on_owner(), return true when owner changes
In the mutex_spin_on_owner(), we return true only if lock->owner == NULL.
This was beneficial in situations where there were multiple threads
simultaneously spinning for the mutex. If another thread got the lock
while other spinner(s) were also doing mutex_spin_on_owner(), then the
other spinners would stop spinning. This workaround helped reduce the
chance that many spinners were simultaneously spinning for the mutex
which can help reduce contention in highly contended cases.

However, recent changes were made to the optimistic spinning code such
that instead of having all spinners simultaneously spin for the mutex,
we queue the spinners with an MCS lock such that only one thread spins
for the mutex at a time. Furthermore, the OSQ optimizations ensure that
spinners in the queue will stop waiting if it needs to reschedule.

Now, we don't have to worry about multiple threads spinning on owner
at the same time, and if lock->owner is not NULL at this point, it likely
means another thread happens to obtain the lock in the fastpath. In this
case, it would make sense for the spinner to continue spinning as long
as the spinner doesn't need to schedule and the mutex owner is running.

This patch changes this so that mutex_spin_on_owner() returns true when
the lock owner changes, which means a thread will only stop spinning
if it either needs to reschedule or if the lock owner is not running.

We saw up to a 5% performance improvement in the fserver workload with
this patch.

8d1e5a1a1c locking/rtmutex: Avoid a NULL pointer dereference on deadlock
With task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() returning early -EDEADLK we never
add the waiter to the waitqueue. Later, we try to remove it via
remove_waiter() and go boom in rt_mutex_top_waiter() because
rb_entry() gives a NULL pointer.

( Tested on v3.18-RT where rtmutex is used for regular mutex and I
  tried to get one twice in a row. )

Not sure when this started but I guess 397335f004 ("rtmutex: Fix
deadlock detector for real") or commit 3d5c9340d1 ("rtmutex:

afffc6c180 locking/rtmutex: Optimize setting task running after being blocked
We explicitly mark the task running after returning from
a __rt_mutex_slowlock() call, which does the actual sleeping
via wait-wake-trylocking. As such, this patch does two things:

(1) refactors the code so that setting current to TASK_RUNNING
    is done by __rt_mutex_slowlock(), and not by the callers. The
    downside to this is that it becomes a bit unclear when at what
    point we block. As such I've added a comment that the task
    blocks when calling __rt_mutex_slowlock() so readers can figure
    out when it is running again.

(2) relaxes setting current's state through __set_current_state(),
    instead of it's more expensive barrier alternative. There was no
    need for the implied barrier as we're obviously not planning on
    blocking.

036cc30c6b locking/osq: No need for load/acquire when acquire-polling
Both mutexes and rwsems took a performance hit when we switched
over from the original mcs code to the cancelable variant (osq).
The reason being the use of smp_load_acquire() when polling for
node->locked. This is not needed as reordering is not an issue,
as such, relax the barrier semantics. Paul describes the scenario
nicely: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/19/405

  - If we start polling before the insertion is complete, all that
    happens is that the first few polls have no chance of seeing a lock
    grant.

  - Ordering the polling against the initialization -- the above
    xchg() is already doing that for us.

The smp_load_acquire() when unqueuing make sense. In addition,
we don't need to worry about leaking the critical region as
osq is only used internally.

This impacts both regular and large levels of concurrency,
ie on a 40 core system with a disk intensive workload:

	disk-1               804.83 (  0.00%)      828.16 (  2.90%)

d84b6728c5 locking/mcs: Better differentiate between MCS variants
We have two flavors of the MCS spinlock: standard and cancelable (OSQ).
While each one is independent of the other, we currently mix and match
them. This patch:

  - Moves the OSQ code out of mcs_spinlock.h (which only deals with the traditional
    version) into include/linux/osq_lock.h. No unnecessary code is added to the
    more global header file, anything locks that make use of OSQ must include
    it anyway.

  - Renames mcs_spinlock.c to osq_lock.c. This file only contains osq code.

  - Introduces a CONFIG_LOCK_SPIN_ON_OWNER in order to only build osq_lock
    if there is support for it.

6f942a1f26 locking/mutex: Don't assume TASK_RUNNING
We're going to make might_sleep() test for TASK_RUNNING, because
blocking without TASK_RUNNING will destroy the task state by setting
it to TASK_RUNNING.

There are a few occasions where its 'valid' to call blocking
primitives (and mutex_lock in particular) and not have TASK_RUNNING,
typically such cases are right before we set TASK_RUNNING anyhow.

Robustify the code by not assuming this; this has the beneficial side
effect of allowing optional code emission for fixing the above
might_sleep() false positives.

8acd91e862 locking/lockdep: Revert qrwlock recusive stuff
Commit f0bab73cb5 ("locking/lockdep: Restrict the use of recursive
read_lock() with qrwlock") changed lockdep to try and conform to the
qrwlock semantics which differ from the traditional rwlock semantics.

In particular qrwlock is fair outside of interrupt context, but in
interrupt context readers will ignore all fairness.

The problem modeling this is that read and write side have different
lock state (interrupts) semantics but we only have a single
representation of these. Therefore lockdep will get confused, thinking
the lock can cause interrupt lock inversions.

So revert it for now; the old rwlock semantics were already imperfectly
modeled and the qrwlock extra won't fit either.

If we want to properly fix this, I think we need to resurrect the work
by Gautham did a few years ago that split the read and write state of
locks:

   http://lwn.net/Articles/332801/

FWIW the locking selftest that would've failed (and was reported by
Borislav earlier) is something like:

  RL(X1);	/* IRQ-ON */
  LOCK(A);
  UNLOCK(A);
  RU(X1);

  IRQ_ENTER();
  RL(X1);	/* IN-IRQ */
  RU(X1);
  IRQ_EXIT();

At which point it would report that because A is an IRQ-unsafe lock we
can suffer the following inversion:

	CPU0		CPU1

	lock(A)
			lock(X1)
			lock(A)
	<IRQ>
	 lock(X1)

And this is 'wrong' because X1 can recurse (assuming the above lock are
in fact read-lock) but lockdep doesn't know about this.

debfab74e4 locking/rwsem: Avoid double checking before try acquiring write lock
Commit 9b0fc9c09f ("rwsem: skip initial trylock in rwsem_down_write_failed")
checks for if there are known active lockers in order to avoid write trylocking
using expensive cmpxchg() when it likely wouldn't get the lock.

However, a subsequent patch was added such that we directly
check for sem->count == RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS right before trying
that cmpxchg().

Thus, commit 9b0fc9c09f now just adds overhead.

This patch modifies it so that we only do a check for if
count == RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS.

Also, add a comment on why we do an "extra check" of count
before the cmpxchg().

e34191fad8 locktorture: Support rwlocks
Add a "rw_lock" torture test to stress kernel rwlocks and their irq
variant. Reader critical regions are 5x longer than writers. As such
a similar ratio of lock acquisitions is seen in the statistics. In the
case of massive contention, both hold the lock for 1/10 of a second.

4a3b427f0b locktorture: Support rwsems
We can easily do so with our new reader lock support. Just an arbitrary
design default: readers have higher (5x) critical region latencies than
writers: 50 ms and 10 ms, respectively.

4f6332c1dc locktorture: Add infrastructure for torturing read locks
Most of it is based on what we already have for writers. This allows
readers to be very independent (and thus configurable), enabling
future module parameters to control things such as rw distribution.
Furthermore, readers have their own delaying function, allowing us
to test different rw critical region latencies, and stress locking
internals. Similarly, statistics, for now will only serve for the
number of lock acquisitions -- as opposed to writers, readers have
no failure detection.

In addition, introduce a new nreaders_stress module parameter. The
default number of readers will be the same number of writers threads.
Writer threads are interleaved with readers. Documentation is updated,
respectively.

d36a7a0d5e torture: Address race in module cleanup
When performing module cleanups by calling torture_cleanup() the
'torture_type' string in nullified However, callers are not necessarily
done, and might still need to reference the variable. This impacts
both rcutorture and locktorture, causing printing things like:

[   94.226618] (null)-torture: Stopping lock_torture_writer task
[   94.226624] (null)-torture: Stopping lock_torture_stats task

Thus delay this operation until the very end of the cleanup process.
The consequence (which shouldn't matter for this kid of program) is,
of course, that we delay the window between rmmod and modprobing,
for instance in module_torture_begin().

f095bfc0ea locktorture: Teach about lock debugging
Regular locks are very different than locks with debugging. For instance
for mutexes, debugging forces to only take the slowpaths. As such, the
locktorture module should take this into account when printing related
information -- specifically when printing user passed parameters, it seems
the right place for such info.

42ddc75ddd locktorture: Support mutexes
Add a "mutex_lock" torture test. The main difference with the already
existing spinlock tests is that the latency of the critical region
is much larger. We randomly delay for (arbitrarily) either 500 ms or,
otherwise, 25 ms. While this can considerably reduce the amount of
writes compared to non blocking locks, if run long enough it can have
the same torturous effect. Furthermore it is more representative of
mutex hold times and can stress better things like thrashing.
