Josh Poimboeuf 55a76b59b5 locking/rwsem/x86: Add stack frame dependency for ____down_write()
Arnd reported the following objtool warning:

  kernel/locking/rwsem.o: warning: objtool: down_write_killable()+0x16: call without frame pointer save/setup

The warning means gcc placed the ____down_write() inline asm (and its
call instruction) before the frame pointer setup in
down_write_killable(), which breaks frame pointer convention and can
result in incorrect stack traces.

Force the stack frame to be created before the call instruction by
listing the stack pointer as an output operand in the inline asm
statement.

Jan Beulich c907420fda locking/rwsem, x86: Drop a bogus cc clobber
With the addition of uses of GCC's condition code outputs in commit:

  35ccfb7114 ("x86, asm: Use CC_SET()/CC_OUT() in <asm/rwsem.h>")

... there's now an overlap of outputs and clobbers in __down_write_trylock().

Such overlaps are generally getting tagged with an error (occasionally
even with an ICE). I can't really tell why plain GCC 6.2 doesn't detect
this (judging by the code it is meant to), while the slightly modified
one I use does. Since condition code clobbers are never necessary on x86
(other than perhaps for documentation purposes, which doesn't really
get done consistently), remove it altogether rather than inventing
something like CC_CLOBBER (to accompany CC_SET/CC_OUT).

The gcc people have confirmed that using "bool" when combined with

emits.  Change the output types and intermediate variables of as many
operations as practical to "bool".

Now that all the architectures implement the necessary glue code
we can introduce down_write_killable(). The only difference wrt. regular
down_write() is that the slow path waits in TASK_KILLABLE state and the

Michel Lespinasse a31a369b07 x86 rwsem: avoid taking slow path when stealing write lock
modify __down_write[_nested] and __down_write_trylock to grab the write
lock whenever the active count is 0, even if there are queued waiters
(they must be writers pending wakeup, since the active count is 0).

Note that this is an optimization only; architectures without this
optimization will still work fine:

- __down_write() would take the slow path which would take the wait_lock
  and then try stealing the lock (as in the spinlocked rwsem implementation)

- __down_write_trylock() would fail, but callers must be ready to deal
  with that - since there are some writers pending wakeup, they could
  have raced with us and obtained the lock before we steal it.

Avi Kivity 0d1622d7f5 x86-64, rwsem: Avoid store forwarding hazard in __downgrade_write
The Intel Architecture Optimization Reference Manual states that a short
load that follows a long store to the same object will suffer a store
forwading penalty, particularly if the two accesses use different addresses.
Trivially, a long load that follows a short store will also suffer a penalty.

__downgrade_write() in rwsem incurs both penalties:  the increment operation
will not be able to reuse a recently-loaded rwsem value, and its result will
not be reused by any recently-following rwsem operation.

A comment in the code states that this is because 64-bit immediates are
special and expensive; but while they are slightly special (only a single
instruction allows them), they aren't expensive: a test shows that two loops,
one loading a 32-bit immediate and one loading a 64-bit immediate, both take
1.5 cycles per iteration.

Fix this by changing __downgrade_write to use the same add instruction on
i386 and on x86_64, so that it uses the same operand size as all the other
rwsem functions.

H. Peter Anvin 1838ef1d78 x86-64, rwsem: 64-bit xadd rwsem implementation
For x86-64, 32767 threads really is not enough.  Change rwsem_count_t
to a signed long, so that it is 64 bits on x86-64.

This required the following changes to the assembly code:

a) %z0 doesn't work on all versions of gcc!  At least gcc 4.4.2 as
   shipped with Fedora 12 emits "ll" not "q" for 64 bits, even for
   integer operands.  Newer gccs apparently do this correctly, but
   avoid this problem by using the _ASM_ macros instead of %z.
b) 64 bits immediates are only allowed in "movq $imm,%reg"
   constructs... no others.  Change some of the constraints to "e",
   and fix the one case where we would have had to use an invalid
   immediate -- in that case, we only care about the upper half
   anyway, so just access the upper half.

Linus Torvalds 5d0b7235d8 x86: clean up rwsem type system
The fast version of the rwsems (the code that uses xadd) has
traditionally only worked on x86-32, and as a result it mixes different
kinds of types wildly - they just all happen to be 32-bit.  We have
"long", we have "__s32", and we have "int".

To make it work on x86-64, the types suddenly matter a lot more.  It can
be either a 32-bit or 64-bit signed type, and both work (with the caveat
that a 32-bit counter will only have 15 bits of effective write
counters, so it's limited to 32767 users).  But whatever type you
choose, it needs to be used consistently.

This makes a new 'rwsem_counter_t', that is a 32-bit signed type.  For a
64-bit type, you'd need to also update the BIAS values.

Linus Torvalds 59c33fa779 x86-32: clean up rwsem inline asm statements
This makes gcc use the right register names and instruction operand sizes
automatically for the rwsem inline asm statements.

So instead of using "(%%eax)" to specify the memory address that is the
semaphore, we use "(%1)" or similar. And instead of forcing the operation
to always be 32-bit, we use "%z0", taking the size from the actual
semaphore data structure itself.

This doesn't actually matter on x86-32, but if we want to use the same
inline asm for x86-64, we'll need to have the compiler generate the proper
64-bit names for the registers (%rax instead of %eax), and if we want to
use a 64-bit counter too (in order to avoid the 15-bit limit on the
write counter that limits concurrent users to 32767 threads), we'll need
to be able to generate instructions with "q" accesses rather than "l".

Since this header currently isn't enabled on x86-64, none of that matters,
but we do want to use the xadd version of the semaphores rather than have
to take spinlocks to do a rwsem. The mm->mmap_sem can be heavily contended
when you have lots of threads all taking page faults, and the fallback
rwsem code that uses a spinlock performs abysmally badly in that case.

[ hpa: modified the patch to skip size suffixes entirely when they are
  redundant due to register operands. ]

H. Peter Anvin 1965aae3c9 x86: Fix ASM_X86__ header guards
Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:

a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
