Pull locking fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of fixes and updates for the locking code:
- Prevent lockdep from updating irq state within its own code and
thereby confusing itself.
- Buid fix for older GCCs which mistreat anonymous unions
- Add a missing lockdep annotation in down_read_non_onwer() which
causes up_read_non_owner() to emit a lockdep splat
- Remove the custom alpha dec_and_lock() implementation which is
incorrect in terms of ordering and use the generic one.
The remaining two commits are not strictly fixes. They provide irqsave
variants of atomic_dec_and_lock() and refcount_dec_and_lock(). These
are required to merge the relevant updates and cleanups into different
maintainer trees for 4.19, so routing them into mainline without
actual users is the sanest approach.
They should have been in -rc1, but last weekend I took the liberty to
just avoid computers in order to regain some mental sanity"

While debugging where things were going wrong with mapping
enabling/disabling interrupts with the lockdep state and actual real
enabling and disabling interrupts, I had to silent the IRQ
disabling/enabling in debug_check_no_locks_freed() because it was
always showing up as it was called before the splat was.
Use raw_local_irq_save/restore() for not only debug_check_no_locks_freed()
but for all internal lockdep functions, as they hide useful information
about where interrupts were used incorrectly last.

It was found that the use of up_read_non_owner() in NFS was causing
the following warning when DEBUG_RWSEMS was configured.
DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(sem->owner != ((struct task_struct *)(1UL << 0)))
Looking into the rwsem.c file, it was discovered that the corresponding
down_read_non_owner() function was not setting the owner field properly.
This is fixed now, and the warning should be gone.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Lots of tidying up changes all across the map for Linux's formal
memory/locking-model tooling, by Alan Stern, Akira Yokosawa, Andrea
Parri, Paul E. McKenney and SeongJae Park.
Notable changes beyond an overall update in the tooling itself is the
tidying up of spin_is_locked() semantics, which spills over into the
kernel proper as well.
- qspinlock improvements: the locking algorithm now guarantees forward
progress whereas the previous implementation in mainline could starve
threads indefinitely in cmpxchg() loops. Also other related cleanups
to the qspinlock code (Will Deacon)
- misc smaller improvements, cleanups and fixes all across the locking
subsystem

The filesystem freezing code needs to transfer ownership of a rwsem
embedded in a percpu-rwsem from the task that does the freezing to
another one that does the thawing by calling percpu_rwsem_release()
after freezing and percpu_rwsem_acquire() before thawing.
However, the new rwsem debug code runs afoul with this scheme by warning
that the task that releases the rwsem isn't the one that acquires it,
as reported by Amir Goldstein:
DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(sem->owner != get_current())

To work properly with the rwsem debug code, we need to annotate that the
rwsem ownership is unknown during the tranfer period until a brave soul
comes forward to acquire the ownership. During that period, optimistic
spinning will be disabled.

There are use cases where a rwsem can be acquired by one task, but
released by another task. In thess cases, optimistic spinning may need
to be disabled. One example will be the filesystem freeze/thaw code
where the task that freezes the filesystem will acquire a write lock
on a rwsem and then un-owns it before returning to userspace. Later on,
another task will come along, acquire the ownership, thaw the filesystem
and release the rwsem.
Bit 0 of the owner field was used to designate that it is a reader
owned rwsem. It is now repurposed to mean that the owner of the rwsem
is not known. If only bit 0 is set, the rwsem is reader owned. If bit
0 and other bits are set, it is writer owned with an unknown owner.
One such value for the latter case is (-1L). So we can set owner to 1 for
reader-owned, -1 for writer-owned. The owner is unknown in both cases.
To handle transfer of rwsem ownership, the higher level code should
set the owner field to -1 to indicate a write-locked rwsem with unknown
owner. Optimistic spinning will be disabled in this case.
Once the higher level code figures who the new owner is, it can then
set the owner field accordingly.

Calling lockdep_print_held_locks() on a running thread is considered unsafe.
Since all callers should follow that rule and the sanity check is not heavy,
this patch moves the sanity check to inside lockdep_print_held_locks().
As a side effect of this patch, the number of locks held by running threads
will be printed as well. This change will be preferable when we want to
know which threads might be relevant to a problem but are unable to print
any clues because that thread is running.

Currently, the qspinlock_stat code tracks only statistical counts in the
PV qspinlock code. However, it may also be useful to track the number
of locking operations done via the pending code vs. the MCS lock queue
slowpath for the non-PV case.
The qspinlock stat code is modified to do that. The stat counter
pv_lock_slowpath is renamed to lock_slowpath so that it can be used by
both the PV and non-PV cases.

The qspinlock slowpath must ensure that the MCS node is fully initialised
before it can be reached by another other CPU. This is currently enforced
by using a RELEASE operation when updating the tail and also when linking
the node into the waitqueue, since the control dependency off xchg_tail
is insufficient to enforce sufficient ordering, see:
95bcade33a ("locking/qspinlock: Ensure node is initialised before updating prev->next")
Back-to-back RELEASE operations may be expensive on some architectures,
particularly those that implement them using fences under the hood. We
can replace the two RELEASE operations with a single smp_wmb() fence and
use RELAXED operations for the subsequent publishing of the node.

Update arch_mcs_spin_lock_contended() such that it uses

When a queued locker reaches the head of the queue, it claims the lock
by setting _Q_LOCKED_VAL in the lockword. If there isn't contention, it
must also clear the tail as part of this operation so that subsequent
lockers can avoid taking the slowpath altogether.
Currently this is expressed as a cmpxchg() loop that practically only
runs up to two iterations. This is confusing to the reader and unhelpful
to the compiler. Rewrite the cmpxchg() loop without the loop, so that a
failed cmpxchg() implies that there is contention and we just need to
write to _Q_LOCKED_VAL without considering the rest of the lockword.

The qspinlock locking slowpath utilises a "pending" bit as a simple form
of an embedded test-and-set lock that can avoid the overhead of explicit
queuing in cases where the lock is held but uncontended. This bit is
managed using a cmpxchg() loop which tries to transition the uncontended
lock word from (0,0,0) -> (0,0,1) or (0,0,1) -> (0,1,1).
Unfortunately, the cmpxchg() loop is unbounded and lockers can be starved
indefinitely if the lock word is seen to oscillate between unlocked
(0,0,0) and locked (0,0,1). This could happen if concurrent lockers are
able to take the lock in the cmpxchg() loop without queuing and pass it
around amongst themselves.
This patch fixes the problem by unconditionally setting _Q_PENDING_VAL
using atomic_fetch_or, and then inspecting the old value to see whether
we need to spin on the current lock owner, or whether we now effectively
hold the lock. The tricky scenario is when concurrent lockers end up
queuing on the lock and the lock becomes available, causing us to see
a lockword of (n,0,0). With pending now set, simply queuing could lead
to deadlock as the head of the queue may not have observed the pending
flag being cleared. Conversely, if the head of the queue did observe
pending being cleared, then it could transition the lock from (n,0,0) ->
(0,0,1) meaning that any attempt to "undo" our setting of the pending
bit could race with a concurrent locker trying to set it.
We handle this race by preserving the pending bit when taking the lock
after reaching the head of the queue and leaving the tail entry intact
if we saw pending set, because we know that the tail is going to be
updated shortly.

If a locker taking the qspinlock slowpath reads a lock value indicating
that only the pending bit is set, then it will spin whilst the
concurrent pending->locked transition takes effect.
Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that such a transition will ever be
observed since concurrent lockers could continuously set pending and
hand over the lock amongst themselves, leading to starvation. Whilst
this would probably resolve in practice, it means that it is not
possible to prove liveness properties about the lock and means that lock
acquisition time is unbounded.
Rather than removing the pending->locked spinning from the slowpath
altogether (which has been shown to heavily penalise a 2-threaded
locking stress test on x86), this patch replaces the explicit spinning
with a call to atomic_cond_read_relaxed and allows the architecture to
provide a bound on the number of spins. For architectures that can
respond to changes in cacheline state in their smp_cond_load implementation,
it should be sufficient to use the default bound of 1.

'struct __qspinlock' provides a handy union of fields so that

This is useful in qspinlock.h and also potentially in arch headers, so

For a rwsem, locking can either be exclusive or shared. The corresponding
exclusive or shared unlock must be used. Otherwise, the protected data

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

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:

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().

rq_lock():

which means rq->lock becomes a HARDIRQ-unsafe lock, which can cause
deadlocks in scheduler code.
This problem was introduced by commit 02a7c234e5 ("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.

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.

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.

__rt_mutex_slowlock()
try_to_take_rt_mutex() /* fails, lock held by stealer */
if (timeout && !timeout->task)
return -ETIMEDOUT;
fixup_owner()
/* lock wasn't acquired, so,
fixup_pi_state_owner skipped */
return -ETIMEDOUT;
/* At this point, we've returned -ETIMEDOUT to userspace, but the
* futex word shows waiter to be the owner, and the pi_mutex has
* stealer as the owner */
futex_lock(LOCK_PI, uaddr2)
-> bails with EDEADLK, futex word says we're owner.
And suggested that what commit:
73d786bd04 ("futex: Rework inconsistent rt_mutex/futex_q state")
removes from fixup_owner() looks to be just what is needed. And indeed
it is -- I completely missed that requeue_pi could also result in this
case. So we need to restore that, except that subsequent patches, like
commit:
16ffa12d74 ("futex: Pull rt_mutex_futex_unlock() out from under hb->lock")
changed all the locking rules. Even without that, the sequence:
- if (rt_mutex_futex_trylock(&q->pi_state->pi_mutex)) {
- locked = 1;
- goto out;
- }
- raw_spin_lock_irq(&q->pi_state->pi_mutex.wait_lock);
- owner = rt_mutex_owner(&q->pi_state->pi_mutex);
- if (!owner)
- owner = rt_mutex_next_owner(&q->pi_state->pi_mutex);
- raw_spin_unlock_irq(&q->pi_state->pi_mutex.wait_lock);
- ret = fixup_pi_state_owner(uaddr, q, owner);
already suggests there were races; otherwise we'd never have to look
at next_owner.
So instead of doing 3 consecutive wait_lock sections with who knows
what races, we do it all in a single section. Additionally, the usage
of pi_state->owner in fixup_owner() was only safe because only the
rt_mutex owner would modify it, which this additional case wrecks.
Luckily the values can only change away and not to the value we're
testing, this means we can do a speculative test and double check once
we have the wait_lock.

This code (CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE=y and CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETIONS=y),
while it found a number of old bugs initially, was also causing too many
false positives that caused people to disable lockdep - which is arguably
a worse overall outcome.
If we disable cross-release by default but keep the code upstream then
in practice the most likely outcome is that we'll allow the situation
to degrade gradually, by allowing entropy to introduce more and more
false positives, until it overwhelms maintenance capacity.
Another bad side effect was that people were trying to work around
the false positives by uglifying/complicating unrelated code. There's
a marked difference between annotating locking operations and
uglifying good code just due to bad lock debugging code ...
This gradual decrease in quality happened to a number of debugging
facilities in the kernel, and lockdep is pretty complex already,
so we cannot risk this outcome.
Either cross-release checking can be done right with no false positives,
or it should not be included in the upstream kernel.
( Note that it might make sense to maintain it out of tree and go through
the false positives every now and then and see whether new bugs were
introduced. )

When CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBEAK=y, locking structures grow an extra int ->break_lock
field which is used to implement raw_spin_is_contended() by setting the field
to 1 when waiting on a lock and clearing it to zero when holding a lock.
However, there are a few problems with this approach:
- There is a write-write race between a CPU successfully taking the lock
(and subsequently writing break_lock = 0) and a waiter waiting on
the lock (and subsequently writing break_lock = 1). This could result
in a contended lock being reported as uncontended and vice-versa.
- On machines with store buffers, nothing guarantees that the writes
to break_lock are visible to other CPUs at any particular time.
- READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE are not used, so the field is potentially
susceptible to harmful compiler optimisations,
Consequently, the usefulness of this field is unclear and we'd be better off
removing it and allowing architectures to implement raw_spin_is_contended() by
providing a definition of arch_spin_is_contended(), as they can when
CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK=n.

Commit:
a8a217c221 ("locking/core: Remove {read,spin,write}_can_lock()")
removed the definition of raw_spin_can_lock(), causing the GENERIC_LOCKBREAK
spin_lock() routines to poll the ->break_lock field when waiting on a lock.
This has been reported to cause a deadlock during boot on s390, because
the ->break_lock field is also set by the waiters, and can potentially
remain set indefinitely if no other CPUs come in to take the lock after
it has been released.
This patch removes the explicit spinning on ->break_lock from the waiters,
instead relying on the outer trylock() operation to determine when the
lock is available.

The purpose of torture_runnable is to allow rcutorture and locktorture
to be started and stopped via sysfs when they are built into the kernel
(as in not compiled as loadable modules). However, the 0444 permissions
for both instances of torture_runnable prevent this use case from ever
being put into practice. Given that there have been no complaints
about this deficiency, it is reasonable to conclude that no one actually
makes use of this sysfs capability. The perf_runnable module parameter
for rcuperf is in the same situation.
This commit therefore removes both torture_runnable instances as well
as perf_runnable.
