llist_del_first_this() deletes a specific entry from an llist, providing
it is at the head of the list. Multiple threads can call this
concurrently providing they each offer a different entry.
This can be uses for a set of worker threads which are on the llist when
they are idle. The head can always be woken, and when it is woken it
can remove itself, and possibly wake the next if there is an excess of
work to do.

try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old head->first value to "first" when
cmpxchg fails. There is no need to re-read the value in the loop.

Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in
llist_add_batch and llist_del_first. x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns
success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg.
Also, try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg
fails, enabling further code simplifications.
No functional change intended.

Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.
For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.
However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:

// Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and
// WRITE_ONCE()

llist_del_first reads entry->next, but it did not acquire visibility over
the entry node. As the result it can get a stale value of entry->next
(e.g. NULL or whatever garbage was there before the appending thread
wrote correct value). And then commit that value as llist head with
cmpxchg. That will corrupt llist.
Note there is a control-dependency between read of head->first and read of
entry->next, but it does not make the code correct. Kernel memory model
unambiguously says: "A load-load control dependency requires a full read
memory barrier".
Use smp_load_acquire to acquire visibility over the entry node.
The data race was found with KernelThreadSanitizer (KTSAN).

1. This is mostly theoretical, but llist_add*() need ACCESS_ONCE().
Otherwise it is not guaranteed that the first cmpxchg() uses the
same value for old_entry and new_last->next.
2. These helpers cache the result of cmpxchg() and read the initial
value of head->first before the main loop. I do not think this
makes sense. In the likely case cmpxchg() succeeds, otherwise
it doesn't hurt to reload head->first.
I think it would be better to simplify the code and simply read
->first before cmpxchg().

Merge tag 'split-asm_system_h-for-linus-20120328' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system
Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
"Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
dependencies.
I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
and made sure that they don't break.
The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().
This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.
The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).
These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.
(2) asm/switch_to.h
Move switch_to() and related stuff here.
(3) asm/exec.h
Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.
(4) asm/cmpxchg.h
Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().
(5) asm/bug.h
Move die() and related bits.
(6) asm/auxvec.h
Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.
Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."
Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

So about 4% faster. (!)
cpu_relax() stalls the pipeline, therefore, when used in a tight loop
it has the following benefits:
- allows SMT siblings to have a go;
- reduces pressure on the CPU interconnect.
However, cmpxchg loops are unfair and thus have unbounded completion
time, therefore we should avoid getting in such heavily contended
situations where the above benefits make any difference.
A typical cmpxchg loop should not go round more than a handfull of
times at worst, therefore adding extra delays just slows things down.
Since the llist primitives are new, there aren't any bad users yet,
and we should avoid growing them. Heavily contended sites should
generally be better off using the ticket locks for serialization since
they provide bounded completion times (fifo-fair over the cpus).

If in llist_add()/etc. functions the first cmpxchg() call succeeds, it is
not necessary to use cpu_relax() before the cmpxchg(). So cpu_relax() in
a busy loop involving cmpxchg() should go after cmpxchg() instead of before
that.
This patch fixes this for all involved llist functions.

Cmpxchg is used to implement adding new entry to the list, deleting
all entries from the list, deleting first entry of the list and some
other operations.
Because this is a single list, so the tail can not be accessed in O(1).
If there are multiple producers and multiple consumers, llist_add can
be used in producers and llist_del_all can be used in consumers. They
can work simultaneously without lock. But llist_del_first can not be
used here. Because llist_del_first depends on list->first->next does
not changed if list->first is not changed during its operation, but
llist_del_first, llist_add, llist_add (or llist_del_all, llist_add,
llist_add) sequence in another consumer may violate that.
If there are multiple producers and one consumer, llist_add can be
used in producers and llist_del_all or llist_del_first can be used in
the consumer.
This can be summarized as follow:
| add | del_first | del_all
add | - | - | -
del_first | | L | L
del_all | | | -
Where "-" stands for no lock is needed, while "L" stands for lock is
needed.
The list entries deleted via llist_del_all can be traversed with
traversing function such as llist_for_each etc. But the list entries
can not be traversed safely before deleted from the list. The order
of deleted entries is from the newest to the oldest added one. If you
want to traverse from the oldest to the newest, you must reverse the
order by yourself before traversing.
The basic atomic operation of this list is cmpxchg on long. On
architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation, the
list can NOT be used in NMI handler. So code uses the list in NMI
handler should depend on CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.
