Marco Elver 1a365e8223 locking/spinlock/debug: Fix various data races
This fixes various data races in spinlock_debug. By testing with KCSAN,
it is observable that the console gets spammed with data races reports,
suggesting these are extremely frequent.

Example data race report:

  read to 0xffff8ab24f403c48 of 4 bytes by task 221 on cpu 2:
   debug_spin_lock_before kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:85 [inline]
   do_raw_spin_lock+0x9b/0x210 kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:112
   __raw_spin_lock include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:143 [inline]
   _raw_spin_lock+0x39/0x40 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:151
   spin_lock include/linux/spinlock.h:338 [inline]
   get_partial_node.isra.0.part.0+0x32/0x2f0 mm/slub.c:1873
   get_partial_node mm/slub.c:1870 [inline]
  <snip>

  write to 0xffff8ab24f403c48 of 4 bytes by task 167 on cpu 3:
   debug_spin_unlock kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:103 [inline]
   do_raw_spin_unlock+0xc9/0x1a0 kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:138
   __raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:159 [inline]
   _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x2d/0x50 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:191
   spin_unlock_irqrestore include/linux/spinlock.h:393 [inline]
   free_debug_processing+0x1b3/0x210 mm/slub.c:1214
   __slab_free+0x292/0x400 mm/slub.c:2864
  <snip>

As a side-effect, with KCSAN, this eventually locks up the console, most
likely due to deadlock, e.g. .. -> printk lock -> spinlock_debug ->
KCSAN detects data race -> kcsan_print_report() -> printk lock ->
deadlock.

This fix will 1) avoid the data races, and 2) allow using lock debugging
together with KCSAN.

Will Deacon 60ca1e5a20 mmiowb: Hook up mmiowb helpers to spinlocks and generic I/O accessors
Removing explicit calls to mmiowb() from driver code means that we must
now call into the generic mmiowb_spin_{lock,unlock}() functions from the
core spinlock code. In order to elide barriers following critical
sections without any I/O writes, we also hook into the asm-generic I/O
routines.

Waiman Long bc88c10d7e locking/spinlock/debug: Remove spinlock lockup detection code
The current spinlock lockup detection code can sometimes produce false
positives because of the unfairness of the locking algorithm itself.

So the lockup detection code is now removed. Instead, we are relying
on the NMI watchdog to detect potential lockup. We won't have lockup
detection if the watchdog isn't running.

The commented-out read-write lock lockup detection code are also
removed.
