Sebastian Andrzej Siewior c401830b01 lockdep: Let lock_is_held_type() detect recursive read as read
[ Upstream commit 2507003a1d ]

lock_is_held_type(, 1) detects acquired read locks. It only recognized
locks acquired with lock_acquire_shared(). Read locks acquired with
lock_acquire_shared_recursive() are not recognized because a `2' is
stored as the read value.

Rework the check to additionally recognise lock's read value one and two
as a read held lock.

Yanfei Xu 562d350a88 locking/rwsem: Disable preemption for spinning region
[ Upstream commit 7cdacc5f52 ]

The spinning region rwsem_spin_on_owner() should not be preempted,
however the rwsem_down_write_slowpath() invokes it and don't disable
preemption. Fix it by adding a pair of preempt_disable/enable().

Boqun Feng 81121524f1 locking/rwbase: Take care of ordering guarantee for fastpath reader
Readers of rwbase can lock and unlock without taking any inner lock, if
that happens, we need the ordering provided by atomic operations to
satisfy the ordering semantics of lock/unlock. Without that, considering
the follow case:

	{ X = 0 initially }

	CPU 0			CPU 1
	=====			=====
				rt_write_lock();
				X = 1
				rt_write_unlock():
				  atomic_add(READER_BIAS - WRITER_BIAS, ->readers);
				  // ->readers is READER_BIAS.
	rt_read_lock():
	  if ((r = atomic_read(->readers)) < 0) // True
	    atomic_try_cmpxchg(->readers, r, r + 1); // succeed.
	  <acquire the read lock via fast path>

	r1 = X;	// r1 may be 0, because nothing prevent the reordering
	        // of "X=1" and atomic_add() on CPU 1.

Therefore audit every usage of atomic operations that may happen in a
fast path, and add necessary barriers.

Peter Zijlstra e548057270 locking/rtmutex: Fix ww_mutex deadlock check
Dan reported that rt_mutex_adjust_prio_chain() can be called with
.orig_waiter == NULL however commit a055fcc132 ("locking/rtmutex: Return
success on deadlock for ww_mutex waiters") unconditionally dereferences it.

Since both call-sites that have .orig_waiter == NULL don't care for the
return value, simply disable the deadlock squash by adding the NULL check.

Notably, both callers use the deadlock condition as a termination condition
for the iteration; once detected, it is sure that (de)boosting is done.
Arguably step [3] would be a more natural termination point, but it's
dubious whether adding a third deadlock detection state would improve the
code.

Linus Torvalds e5e726f7bb Updates for locking and atomics:
The regular pile:
 
   - A few improvements to the mutex code
 
   - Documentation updates for atomics to clarify the difference between
     cmpxchg() and try_cmpxchg() and to explain the forward progress
     expectations.
 
   - Simplification of the atomics fallback generator
 
   - The addition of arch_atomic_long*() variants and generic arch_*()
     bitops based on them.
 
   - Add the missing might_sleep() invocations to the down*() operations of
     semaphores.
 
 The PREEMPT_RT locking core:
 
   - Scheduler updates to support the state preserving mechanism for
     'sleeping' spin- and rwlocks on RT. This mechanism is carefully
     preserving the state of the task when blocking on a 'sleeping' spin- or
     rwlock and takes regular wake-ups targeted at the same task into
     account. The preserved or updated (via a regular wakeup) state is
     restored when the lock has been acquired.
 
   - Restructuring of the rtmutex code so it can be utilized and extended
     for the RT specific lock variants.
 
   - Restructuring of the ww_mutex code to allow sharing of the ww_mutex
     specific functionality for rtmutex based ww_mutexes.
 
   - Header file disentangling to allow substitution of the regular lock
     implementations with the PREEMPT_RT variants without creating an
     unmaintainable #ifdef mess.
 
   - Shared base code for the PREEMPT_RT specific rw_semaphore and rwlock
     implementations. Contrary to the regular rw_semaphores and rwlocks the
     PREEMPT_RT implementation is writer unfair because it is infeasible to
     do priority inheritance on multiple readers. Experience over the years
     has shown that real-time workloads are not the typical workloads which
     are sensitive to writer starvation. The alternative solution would be
     to allow only a single reader which has been tried and discarded as it
     is a major bottleneck especially for mmap_sem. Aside of that many of
     the writer starvation critical usage sites have been converted to a
     writer side mutex/spinlock and RCU read side protections in the past
     decade so that the issue is less prominent than it used to be.
 
   - The actual rtmutex based lock substitutions for PREEMPT_RT enabled
     kernels which affect mutex, ww_mutex, rw_semaphore, spinlock_t and
     rwlock_t. The spin/rw_lock*() functions disable migration across the
     critical section to preserve the existing semantics vs. per CPU
     variables.
 
   - Rework of the futex REQUEUE_PI mechanism to handle the case of early
     wake-ups which interleave with a re-queue operation to prevent the
     situation that a task would be blocked on both the rtmutex associated
     to the outer futex and the rtmutex based hash bucket spinlock.
 
     While this situation cannot happen on !RT enabled kernels the changes
     make the underlying concurrency problems easier to understand in
     general. As a result the difference between !RT and RT kernels is
     reduced to the handling of waiting for the critical section. !RT
     kernels simply spin-wait as before and RT kernels utilize rcu_wait().
 
   - The substitution of local_lock for PREEMPT_RT with a spinlock which
     protects the critical section while staying preemptible. The CPU
     locality is established by disabling migration.
 
   The underlying concepts of this code have been in use in PREEMPT_RT for
   way more than a decade. The code has been refactored several times over
   the years and this final incarnation has been optimized once again to be
   as non-intrusive as possible, i.e. the RT specific parts are mostly
   isolated.
 
   It has been extensively tested in the 5.14-rt patch series and it has
   been verified that !RT kernels are not affected by these changes.

Peter Zijlstra a055fcc132 locking/rtmutex: Return success on deadlock for ww_mutex waiters
ww_mutexes can legitimately cause a deadlock situation in the lock graph
which is resolved afterwards by the wait/wound mechanics. The rtmutex chain
walk can detect such a deadlock and returns EDEADLK which in turn skips the
wait/wound mechanism and returns EDEADLK to the caller. That's wrong
because both lock chains might get EDEADLK or the wrong waiter would back
out.

Detect that situation and return 'success' in case that the waiter which
initiated the chain walk is a ww_mutex with context. This allows the
wait/wound mechanics to resolve the situation according to the rules.

Peter Zijlstra 6467822b8c locking/rtmutex: Prevent spurious EDEADLK return caused by ww_mutexes
rtmutex based ww_mutexes can legitimately create a cycle in the lock graph
which can be observed by a blocker which didn't cause the problem:

   P1: A, ww_A, ww_B
   P2: ww_B, ww_A
   P3: A

P3 might therefore be trapped in the ww_mutex induced cycle and run into
the lock depth limitation of rt_mutex_adjust_prio_chain() which returns
-EDEADLK to the caller.

Disable the deadlock detection walk when the chain walk observes a
ww_mutex to prevent this looping.

Thomas Gleixner 37e8abff2b locking/rtmutex: Dequeue waiter on ww_mutex deadlock
The rt_mutex based ww_mutex variant queues the new waiter first in the
lock's rbtree before evaluating the ww_mutex specific conditions which
might decide that the waiter should back out. This check and conditional
exit happens before the waiter is enqueued into the PI chain.

The failure handling at the call site assumes that the waiter, if it is the
top most waiter on the lock, is queued in the PI chain and then proceeds to
adjust the unmodified PI chain, which results in RB tree corruption.

Dequeue the waiter from the lock waiter list in the ww_mutex error exit
path to prevent this.

Thomas Gleixner c3123c4314 locking/rtmutex: Dont dereference waiter lockless
The new rt_mutex_spin_on_onwer() loop checks whether the spinning waiter is
still the top waiter on the lock by utilizing rt_mutex_top_waiter(), which
is broken because that function contains a sanity check which dereferences
the top waiter pointer to check whether the waiter belongs to the
lock. That's wrong in the lockless spinwait case:

 CPU 0							CPU 1
 rt_mutex_lock(lock)					rt_mutex_lock(lock);
   queue(waiter0)
   waiter0 == rt_mutex_top_waiter(lock)
   rt_mutex_spin_on_onwer(lock, waiter0) {		queue(waiter1)
   					 		waiter1 == rt_mutex_top_waiter(lock)
   							...
     top_waiter = rt_mutex_top_waiter(lock)
       leftmost = rb_first_cached(&lock->waiters);
							-> signal
							dequeue(waiter1)
							destroy(waiter1)
       w = rb_entry(leftmost, ....)
       BUG_ON(w->lock != lock)	 <- UAF

The BUG_ON() is correct for the case where the caller holds lock->wait_lock
which guarantees that the leftmost waiter entry cannot vanish. For the
lockless spinwait case it's broken.

Create a new helper function which avoids the pointer dereference and just
compares the leftmost entry pointer with current's waiter pointer to
validate that currrent is still elegible for spinning.

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior b857174e68 locking/ww_mutex: Initialize waiter.ww_ctx properly
The consolidation of the debug code for mutex waiter intialization sets
waiter::ww_ctx to a poison value unconditionally. For regular mutexes this
is intended to catch the case where waiter_ww_ctx is dereferenced
accidentally.

For ww_mutex the poison value has to be overwritten either with a context
pointer or NULL for ww_mutexes without context.

The rework broke this as it made the store conditional on the context
pointer instead of the argument which signals whether ww_mutex code should
be compiled in or optiized out. As a result waiter::ww_ctx ends up with the
poison pointer for contextless ww_mutexes which causes a later dereference of
the poison pointer because it is != NULL.

Use the build argument instead so for ww_mutex the poison value is always
overwritten.

Steven Rostedt 992caf7f17 locking/rtmutex: Add adaptive spinwait mechanism
Going to sleep when locks are contended can be quite inefficient when the
contention time is short and the lock owner is running on a different CPU.

The MCS mechanism cannot be used because MCS is strictly FIFO ordered while
for rtmutex based locks the waiter ordering is priority based.

Provide a simple adaptive spinwait mechanism which currently restricts the
spinning to the top priority waiter.

[ tglx: Provide a contemporary changelog, extended it to all rtmutex based
  	locks and updated it to match the other spin on owner implementations ]

Gregory Haskins 48eb3f4fcf locking/rtmutex: Implement equal priority lock stealing
The current logic only allows lock stealing to occur if the current task is
of higher priority than the pending owner.

Significant throughput improvements can be gained by allowing the lock
stealing to include tasks of equal priority when the contended lock is a
spin_lock or a rw_lock and the tasks are not in a RT scheduling task.

The assumption was that the system will make faster progress by allowing
the task already on the CPU to take the lock rather than waiting for the
system to wake up a different task.

This does add a degree of unfairness, but in reality no negative side
effects have been observed in the many years that this has been used in the
RT kernel.

Thomas Gleixner 51711e825a locking/rtmutex: Prevent lockdep false positive with PI futexes
On PREEMPT_RT the futex hashbucket spinlock becomes 'sleeping' and rtmutex
based. That causes a lockdep false positive because some of the futex
functions invoke spin_unlock(&hb->lock) with the wait_lock of the rtmutex
associated to the pi_futex held.  spin_unlock() in turn takes wait_lock of
the rtmutex on which the spinlock is based which makes lockdep notice a
lock recursion.

Give the futex/rtmutex wait_lock a separate key.

Thomas Gleixner c014ef69b3 locking/rtmutex: Add wake_state to rt_mutex_waiter
Regular sleeping locks like mutexes, rtmutexes and rw_semaphores are always
entering and leaving a blocking section with task state == TASK_RUNNING.

On a non-RT kernel spinlocks and rwlocks never affect the task state, but
on RT kernels these locks are converted to rtmutex based 'sleeping' locks.

So in case of contention the task goes to block, which requires to carefully
preserve the task state, and restore it after acquiring the lock taking
regular wakeups for the task into account, which happened while the task was
blocked. This state preserving is achieved by having a separate task state
for blocking on a RT spin/rwlock and a saved_state field in task_struct
along with careful handling of these wakeup scenarios in try_to_wake_up().

To avoid conditionals in the rtmutex code, store the wake state which has
to be used for waking a lock waiter in rt_mutex_waiter which allows to
handle the regular and RT spin/rwlocks by handing it to wake_up_state().

Thomas Gleixner 42254105df locking/rwsem: Add rtmutex based R/W semaphore implementation
The RT specific R/W semaphore implementation used to restrict the number of
readers to one, because a writer cannot block on multiple readers and
inherit its priority or budget.

The single reader restricting was painful in various ways:

 - Performance bottleneck for multi-threaded applications in the page fault
   path (mmap sem)

 - Progress blocker for drivers which are carefully crafted to avoid the
   potential reader/writer deadlock in mainline.

The analysis of the writer code paths shows that properly written RT tasks
should not take them. Syscalls like mmap(), file access which take mmap sem
write locked have unbound latencies, which are completely unrelated to mmap
sem. Other R/W sem users like graphics drivers are not suitable for RT tasks
either.

So there is little risk to hurt RT tasks when the RT rwsem implementation is
done in the following way:

 - Allow concurrent readers

 - Make writers block until the last reader left the critical section. This
   blocking is not subject to priority/budget inheritance.

 - Readers blocked on a writer inherit their priority/budget in the normal
   way.

There is a drawback with this scheme: R/W semaphores become writer unfair
though the applications which have triggered writer starvation (mostly on
mmap_sem) in the past are not really the typical workloads running on a RT
system. So while it's unlikely to hit writer starvation, it's possible. If
there are unexpected workloads on RT systems triggering it, the problem
has to be revisited.

Thomas Gleixner 943f0edb75 locking/rt: Add base code for RT rw_semaphore and rwlock
On PREEMPT_RT, rw_semaphores and rwlocks are substituted with an rtmutex and
a reader count. The implementation is writer unfair, as it is not feasible
to do priority inheritance on multiple readers, but experience has shown
that real-time workloads are not the typical workloads which are sensitive
to writer starvation.

The inner workings of rw_semaphores and rwlocks on RT are almost identical
except for the task state and signal handling. rw_semaphores are not state
preserving over a contention, they are expected to enter and leave with state
== TASK_RUNNING. rwlocks have a mechanism to preserve the state of the task
at entry and restore it after unblocking taking potential non-lock related
wakeups into account. rw_semaphores can also be subject to signal handling
interrupting a blocked state, while rwlocks ignore signals.

To avoid code duplication, provide a shared implementation which takes the
small difference vs. state and signals into account. The code is included
into the relevant rw_semaphore/rwlock base code and compiled for each use
case separately.
