lockdep: Introduce wait-type checks
Extend lockdep to validate lock wait-type context.
The current wait-types are:
LD_WAIT_FREE, /* wait free, rcu etc.. */
LD_WAIT_SPIN, /* spin loops, raw_spinlock_t etc.. */
LD_WAIT_CONFIG, /* CONFIG_PREEMPT_LOCK, spinlock_t etc.. */
LD_WAIT_SLEEP, /* sleeping locks, mutex_t etc.. */
Where lockdep validates that the current lock (the one being acquired)
fits in the current wait-context (as generated by the held stack).
This ensures that there is no attempt to acquire mutexes while holding
spinlocks, to acquire spinlocks while holding raw_spinlocks and so on. In
other words, its a more fancy might_sleep().
Obviously RCU made the entire ordeal more complex than a simple single
value test because RCU can be acquired in (pretty much) any context and
while it presents a context to nested locks it is not the same as it
got acquired in.
Therefore its necessary to split the wait_type into two values, one
representing the acquire (outer) and one representing the nested context
(inner). For most 'normal' locks these two are the same.
[ To make static initialization easier we have the rule that:
.outer == INV means .outer == .inner; because INV == 0. ]
It further means that its required to find the minimal .inner of the held
stack to compare against the outer of the new lock; because while 'normal'
RCU presents a CONFIG type to nested locks, if it is taken while already
holding a SPIN type it obviously doesn't relax the rules.
Below is an example output generated by the trivial test code:
raw_spin_lock(&foo);
spin_lock(&bar);
spin_unlock(&bar);
raw_spin_unlock(&foo);
[ BUG: Invalid wait context ]
-----------------------------
swapper/0/1 is trying to lock:
ffffc90000013f20 (&bar){....}-{3:3}, at: kernel_init+0xdb/0x187
other info that might help us debug this:
1 lock held by swapper/0/1:
#0: ffffc90000013ee0 (&foo){+.+.}-{2:2}, at: kernel_init+0xd1/0x187
The way to read it is to look at the new -{n,m} part in the lock
description; -{3:3} for the attempted lock, and try and match that up to
the held locks, which in this case is the one: -{2,2}.
This tells that the acquiring lock requires a more relaxed environment than
presented by the lock stack.
Currently only the normal locks and RCU are converted, the rest of the
lockdep users defaults to .inner = INV which is ignored. More conversions
can be done when desired.
The check for spinlock_t nesting is not enabled by default. It's a separate
config option for now as there are known problems which are currently
addressed. The config option allows to identify these problems and to
verify that the solutions found are indeed solving them.
The config switch will be removed and the checks will permanently enabled
once the vast majority of issues has been addressed.

locking/rwsem: Remove RWSEM_OWNER_UNKNOWN
Remove the now unused RWSEM_OWNER_UNKNOWN hack. This hack breaks PREEMPT_RT and getting rid of it was the entire motivation for re-writing the percpu rwsem. The biggest problem is that it is fundamentally incompatible with any form of Priority Inheritance, any exclusively held lock must have a distinct owner.

locking/percpu-rwsem: Remove the embedded rwsem
The filesystem freezer uses percpu-rwsem in a way that is effectively write_non_owner() and achieves this with a few horrible hacks that rely on the rwsem (!percpu) implementation. When PREEMPT_RT replaces the rwsem implementation with a PI aware variant this comes apart. Remove the embedded rwsem and implement it using a waitqueue and an atomic_t. - make readers_block an atomic, and use it, with the waitqueue for a blocking test-and-set write-side. - have the read-side wait for the 'lock' state to clear. Have the waiters use FIFO queueing and mark them (reader/writer) with a new WQ_FLAG. Use a custom wake_function to wake either a single writer or all readers until a writer.

locking/rwsem: Make handoff writer optimistically spin on owner
When the handoff bit is set by a writer, no other tasks other than
the setting writer itself is allowed to acquire the lock. If the
to-be-handoff'ed writer goes to sleep, there will be a wakeup latency
period where the lock is free, but no one can acquire it. That is less
than ideal.
To reduce that latency, the handoff writer will now optimistically spin
on the owner if it happens to be a on-cpu writer. It will spin until
it releases the lock and the to-be-handoff'ed writer can then acquire
the lock immediately without any delay. Of course, if the owner is not
a on-cpu writer, the to-be-handoff'ed writer will have to sleep anyway.
The optimistic spinning code is also modified to not stop spinning
when the handoff bit is set. This will prevent an occasional setting of
handoff bit from causing a bunch of optimistic spinners from entering
into the wait queue causing significant reduction in throughput.
On a 1-socket 22-core 44-thread Skylake system, the AIM7 shared_memory
workload was run with 7000 users. The throughput (jobs/min) of the
following kernels were as follows:
1) 5.2-rc6
- 8,092,486
2) 5.2-rc6 + tip's rwsem patches
- 7,567,568
3) 5.2-rc6 + tip's rwsem patches + this patch
- 7,954,545
Using perf-record(1), the %cpu time used by rwsem_down_write_slowpath(),
rwsem_down_write_failed() and their callees for the 3 kernels were 1.70%,
5.46% and 2.08% respectively.

locking/rwsem: Add missing ACQUIRE to read_slowpath exit when queue is empty
LTP mtest06 has been observed to occasionally hit "still mapped when
deleted" and following BUG_ON on arm64.
The extra mapcount originated from pagefault handler, which handled
pagefault for vma that has already been detached. vma is detached
under mmap_sem write lock by detach_vmas_to_be_unmapped(), which
also invalidates vmacache.
When the pagefault handler (under mmap_sem read lock) calls
find_vma(), vmacache_valid() wrongly reports vmacache as valid.
After rwsem down_read() returns via 'queue empty' path (as of v5.2),
it does so without an ACQUIRE on sem->count:
down_read()
__down_read()
rwsem_down_read_failed()
__rwsem_down_read_failed_common()
raw_spin_lock_irq(&sem->wait_lock);
if (list_empty(&sem->wait_list)) {
if (atomic_long_read(&sem->count) >= 0) {
raw_spin_unlock_irq(&sem->wait_lock);
return sem;
The problem can be reproduced by running LTP mtest06 in a loop and
building the kernel (-j $NCPUS) in parallel. It does reproduces since
v4.20 on arm64 HPE Apollo 70 (224 CPUs, 256GB RAM, 2 nodes). It
triggers reliably in about an hour.
The patched kernel ran fine for 10+ hours.

locking/rwsem: Don't call owner_on_cpu() on read-owner
For writer, the owner value is cleared on unlock. For reader, it is
left intact on unlock for providing better debugging aid on crash dump
and the unlock of one reader may not mean the lock is free.
As a result, the owner_on_cpu() shouldn't be used on read-owner
as the task pointer value may not be valid and it might have
been freed. That is the case in rwsem_spin_on_owner(), but not in
rwsem_can_spin_on_owner(). This can lead to use-after-free error from
KASAN. For example,
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in rwsem_down_write_slowpath
(/home/miguel/kernel/linux/kernel/locking/rwsem.c:669
/home/miguel/kernel/linux/kernel/locking/rwsem.c:1125)

owner_on_cpu().

locking/rwsem: Guard against making count negative
The upper bits of the count field is used as reader count. When sufficient number of active readers are present, the most significant bit will be set and the count becomes negative. If the number of active readers keep on piling up, we may eventually overflow the reader counts. This is not likely to happen unless the number of bits reserved for reader count is reduced because those bits are need for other purpose. To prevent this count overflow from happening, the most significant bit is now treated as a guard bit (RWSEM_FLAG_READFAIL). Read-lock attempts will now fail for both the fast and slow paths whenever this bit is set. So all those extra readers will be put to sleep in the wait list. Wakeup will not happen until the reader count reaches 0.

locking/rwsem: Adaptive disabling of reader optimistic spinning
Reader optimistic spinning is helpful when the reader critical section
is short and there aren't that many readers around. It makes readers
relatively more preferred than writers. When a writer times out spinning
on a reader-owned lock and set the nospinnable bits, there are two main
reasons for that.
1) The reader critical section is long, perhaps the task sleeps after
acquiring the read lock.
2) There are just too many readers contending the lock causing it to
take a while to service all of them.
In the former case, long reader critical section will impede the progress
of writers which is usually more important for system performance.
In the later case, reader optimistic spinning tends to make the reader
groups that contain readers that acquire the lock together smaller
leading to more of them. That may hurt performance in some cases. In
other words, the setting of nonspinnable bits indicates that reader
optimistic spinning may not be helpful for those workloads that cause it.
Therefore, any writers that have observed the setting of the writer
nonspinnable bit for a given rwsem after they fail to acquire the lock
via optimistic spinning will set the reader nonspinnable bit once they
acquire the write lock. Similarly, readers that observe the setting
of reader nonspinnable bit at slowpath entry will also set the reader
nonspinnable bit when they acquire the read lock via the wakeup path.
Once the reader nonspinnable bit is on, it will only be reset when
a writer is able to acquire the rwsem in the fast path or somehow a
reader or writer in the slowpath doesn't observe the nonspinable bit.
This is to discourage reader optmistic spinning on that particular
rwsem and make writers more preferred. This adaptive disabling of reader
optimistic spinning will alleviate some of the negative side effect of
this feature.
In addition, this patch tries to make readers in the spinning queue
follow the phase-fair principle after quitting optimistic spinning
by checking if another reader has somehow acquired a read lock after
this reader enters the optimistic spinning queue. If so and the rwsem
is still reader-owned, this reader is in the right read-phase and can
attempt to acquire the lock.
On a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system, the page_fault1 test of
the will-it-scale benchmark was run with various number of threads. The
number of operations done before reader optimistic spinning patches,
this patch and after this patch were:

locking/rwsem: Enable time-based spinning on reader-owned rwsem
When the rwsem is owned by reader, writers stop optimistic spinning
simply because there is no easy way to figure out if all the readers
are actively running or not. However, there are scenarios where
the readers are unlikely to sleep and optimistic spinning can help
performance.
This patch provides a simple mechanism for spinning on a reader-owned
rwsem by a writer. It is a time threshold based spinning where the
allowable spinning time can vary from 10us to 25us depending on the
condition of the rwsem.
When the time threshold is exceeded, the nonspinnable bits will be set
in the owner field to indicate that no more optimistic spinning will
be allowed on this rwsem until it becomes writer owned again. Not even
readers is allowed to acquire the reader-locked rwsem by optimistic
spinning for fairness.
We also want a writer to acquire the lock after the readers hold the
lock for a relatively long time. In order to give preference to writers
under such a circumstance, the single RWSEM_NONSPINNABLE bit is now split
into two - one for reader and one for writer. When optimistic spinning
is disabled, both bits will be set. When the reader count drop down
to 0, the writer nonspinnable bit will be cleared to allow writers to
spin on the lock, but not the readers. When a writer acquires the lock,
it will write its own task structure pointer into sem->owner and clear
the reader nonspinnable bit in the process.
The time taken for each iteration of the reader-owned rwsem spinning
loop varies. Below are sample minimum elapsed times for 16 iterations
of the loop.
System Time for 16 Iterations
------ ----------------------
1-socket Skylake ~800ns
4-socket Broadwell ~300ns
2-socket ThunderX2 (arm64) ~250ns
When the lock cacheline is contended, we can see up to almost 10X
increase in elapsed time. So 25us will be at most 500, 1300 and 1600
iterations for each of the above systems.
With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the total
locking rates (in kops/s) on a 8-socket IvyBridge-EX system with
equal numbers of readers and writers before and after this patch were
as follows:
# of Threads Pre-patch Post-patch

32 458 7,316
64 208 520
128 168 425
240 143 474
This patch gives a big boost in performance for mixed reader/writer
workloads.
With 32 locking threads, the rwsem lock event data were:
rwsem_opt_fail=79850
rwsem_opt_nospin=5069
rwsem_opt_rlock=597484
rwsem_opt_wlock=957339
rwsem_sleep_reader=57782
rwsem_sleep_writer=55663
With 64 locking threads, the data looked like:
rwsem_opt_fail=346723
rwsem_opt_nospin=6293
rwsem_opt_rlock=1127119
rwsem_opt_wlock=1400628
rwsem_sleep_reader=308201
rwsem_sleep_writer=72281
So a lot more threads acquired the lock in the slowpath and more threads
went to sleep.

locking/rwsem: Clarify usage of owner's nonspinaable bit
Bit 1 of sem->owner (RWSEM_ANONYMOUSLY_OWNED) is used to designate an anonymous owner - readers or an anonymous writer. The setting of this anonymous bit is used as an indicator that optimistic spinning cannot be done on this rwsem. With the upcoming reader optimistic spinning patches, a reader-owned rwsem can be spinned on for a limit period of time. We still need this bit to indicate a rwsem is nonspinnable, but not setting this bit loses its meaning that the owner is known. So rename the bit to RWSEM_NONSPINNABLE to clarify its meaning. This patch also fixes a DEBUG_RWSEMS_WARN_ON() bug in __up_write().

locking/rwsem: Wake up almost all readers in wait queue
When the front of the wait queue is a reader, other readers
immediately following the first reader will also be woken up at the
same time. However, if there is a writer in between. Those readers
behind the writer will not be woken up.
Because of optimistic spinning, the lock acquisition order is not FIFO
anyway. The lock handoff mechanism will ensure that lock starvation
will not happen.
Assuming that the lock hold times of the other readers still in the
queue will be about the same as the readers that are being woken up,
there is really not much additional cost other than the additional
latency due to the wakeup of additional tasks by the waker. Therefore
all the readers up to a maximum of 256 in the queue are woken up when
the first waiter is a reader to improve reader throughput. This is
somewhat similar in concept to a phase-fair R/W lock.
With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the total
locking rates (in kops/s) on a 8-socket IvyBridge-EX system with
equal numbers of readers and writers before and after this patch were
as follows:

locking/rwsem: More optimal RT task handling of null owner
An RT task can do optimistic spinning only if the lock holder is
actually running. If the state of the lock holder isn't known, there
is a possibility that high priority of the RT task may block forward
progress of the lock holder if it happens to reside on the same CPU.
This will lead to deadlock. So we have to make sure that an RT task
will not spin on a reader-owned rwsem.
When the owner is temporarily set to NULL, there are two cases
where we may want to continue spinning:
1) The lock owner is in the process of releasing the lock, sem->owner
is cleared but the lock has not been released yet.
2) The lock was free and owner cleared, but another task just comes
in and acquire the lock before we try to get it. The new owner may
be a spinnable writer.
So an RT task is now made to retry one more time to see if it can
acquire the lock or continue spinning on the new owning writer.
When testing on a 8-socket IvyBridge-EX system, the one additional retry
seems to improve locking performance of RT write locking threads under
heavy contentions. The table below shows the locking rates (in kops/s)
with various write locking threads before and after the patch.

locking/rwsem: Always release wait_lock before waking up tasks
With the use of wake_q, we can do task wakeups without holding the wait_lock. There is one exception in the rwsem code, though. It is when the writer in the slowpath detects that there are waiters ahead but the rwsem is not held by a writer. This can lead to a long wait_lock hold time especially when a large number of readers are to be woken up. Remediate this situation by releasing the wait_lock before waking up tasks and re-acquiring it afterward. The rwsem_try_write_lock() function is also modified to read the rwsem count directly to avoid stale count value.

locking/rwsem: Implement lock handoff to prevent lock starvation
Because of writer lock stealing, it is possible that a constant stream of incoming writers will cause a waiting writer or reader to wait indefinitely leading to lock starvation. This patch implements a lock handoff mechanism to disable lock stealing and force lock handoff to the first waiter or waiters (for readers) in the queue after at least a 4ms waiting period unless it is a RT writer task which doesn't need to wait. The waiting period is used to avoid discouraging lock stealing too much to affect performance. The setting and clearing of the handoff bit is serialized by the wait_lock. So racing is not possible. A rwsem microbenchmark was run for 5 seconds on a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system with a v5.1 based kernel and 240 write_lock threads with 5us sleep critical section. Before the patch, the min/mean/max numbers of locking operations for the locking threads were 1/7,792/173,696. After the patch, the figures became 5,842/6,542/7,458. It can be seen that the rwsem became much more fair, though there was a drop of about 16% in the mean locking operations done which was a tradeoff of having better fairness. Making the waiter set the handoff bit right after the first wakeup can impact performance especially with a mixed reader/writer workload. With the same microbenchmark with short critical section and equal number of reader and writer threads (40/40), the reader/writer locking operation counts with the current patch were: 40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/1,794/1,796 40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/34,956/86,081 By making waiter set handoff bit immediately after wakeup: 40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/44/46 40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/1,263/3,191 Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> Cc: H.

locking/rwsem: Code cleanup after files merging
After merging all the relevant rwsem code into one single file, there
are a number of optimizations and cleanups that can be done:
1) Remove all the EXPORT_SYMBOL() calls for functions that are not
accessed elsewhere.
2) Remove all the __visible tags as none of the functions will be
called from assembly code anymore.
3) Make all the internal functions static.
4) Remove some unneeded blank lines.
5) Remove the intermediate rwsem_down_{read|write}_failed*() functions
and rename __rwsem_down_{read|write}_failed_common() to
rwsem_down_{read|write}_slowpath().
6) Remove "__" prefix of __rwsem_mark_wake().
7) Use atomic_long_try_cmpxchg_acquire() as much as possible.
8) Remove the rwsem_rtrylock and rwsem_wtrylock lock events as they
are not that useful.
That enables the compiler to do better optimization and reduce code
size. The text+data size of rwsem.o on an x86-64 machine with gcc8 was
reduced from 10237 bytes to 5030 bytes with this change.

locking/rwsem: Merge rwsem.h and rwsem-xadd.c into rwsem.c
Now we only have one implementation of rwsem. Even though we still use xadd to handle reader locking, we use cmpxchg for writer instead. So the filename rwsem-xadd.c is not strictly correct. Also no one outside of the rwsem code need to know the internal implementation other than function prototypes for two internal functions that are called directly from percpu-rwsem.c. So the rwsem-xadd.c and rwsem.h files are now merged into rwsem.c in the following order: <upper part of rwsem.h> <rwsem-xadd.c> <lower part of rwsem.h> <rwsem.c> The rwsem.h file now contains only 2 function declarations for __up_read() and __down_read(). This is a code relocation patch with no code change at all except making __up_read() and __down_read() non-static functions so they can be used by percpu-rwsem.c.

locking/rwsem: Make owner store task pointer of last owning reader
Currently, when a reader acquires a lock, it only sets the RWSEM_READER_OWNED bit in the owner field. The other bits are simply not used. When debugging hanging cases involving rwsems and readers, the owner value does not provide much useful information at all. This patch modifies the current behavior to always store the task_struct pointer of the last rwsem-acquiring reader in a reader-owned rwsem. This may be useful in debugging rwsem hanging cases especially if only one reader is involved. However, the task in the owner field may not the real owner or one of the real owners at all when the owner value is examined, for example, in a crash dump. So it is just an additional hint about the past history. If CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS=y is enabled, the owner field will be checked at unlock time too to make sure the task pointer value is valid. That does have a slight performance cost and so is only enabled as part of that debug option. From the performance point of view, it is expected that the changes shouldn't have any noticeable performance impact. A rwsem microbenchmark (with 48 worker threads and 1:1 reader/writer ratio) was ran on a 2-socket 24-core 48-thread Haswell system. The locking rates on a 4.19-rc1 based kernel were as follows: 1) Unpatched kernel: 543.3 kops/s 2) Patched kernel: 549.2 kops/s 3) Patched kernel (CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS on): 546.6 kops/s There was actually a slight increase in performance (1.1%) in this particular case. Maybe it was caused by the elimination of a branch or just a testing noise. Turning on the CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS option also had less than the expected impact on performance. The least significant 2 bits of the owner value are now used to designate the rwsem is readers owned and the owners are anonymous.

locking/rwsem: Add a new RWSEM_ANONYMOUSLY_OWNED flag
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.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to <linux/sched/debug.h>
We are going to split <linux/sched/debug.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files. Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/debug.h> file that just maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and bisectable. Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

locking/rwsem: Add reader-owned state to the owner field
Currently, it is not possible to determine for sure if a reader
owns a rwsem by looking at the content of the rwsem data structure.
This patch adds a new state RWSEM_READER_OWNED to the owner field
to indicate that readers currently own the lock. This enables us to
address the following 2 issues in the rwsem optimistic spinning code:
1) rwsem_can_spin_on_owner() will disallow optimistic spinning if
the owner field is NULL which can mean either the readers own
the lock or the owning writer hasn't set the owner field yet.
In the latter case, we miss the chance to do optimistic spinning.
2) While a writer is waiting in the OSQ and a reader takes the lock,
the writer will continue to spin when out of the OSQ in the main
rwsem_optimistic_spin() loop as the owner field is NULL wasting
CPU cycles if some of readers are sleeping.
Adding the new state will allow optimistic spinning to go forward as
long as the owner field is not RWSEM_READER_OWNED and the owner is
running, if set, but stop immediately when that state has been reached.
On a 4-socket Haswell machine running on a 4.6-rc1 based kernel, the
fio test with multithreaded randrw and randwrite tests on the same
file on a XFS partition on top of a NVDIMM were run, the aggregated
bandwidths before and after the patch were as follows:
Test BW before patch BW after patch % change
---- --------------- -------------- --------
randrw 988 MB/s 1192 MB/s +21%
randwrite 1513 MB/s 1623 MB/s +7.3%
The perf profile of the rwsem_down_write_failed() function in randrw
before and after the patch were:
19.95% 5.88% fio [kernel.vmlinux] [k] rwsem_down_write_failed
14.20% 1.52% fio [kernel.vmlinux] [k] rwsem_down_write_failed
The actual CPU cycles spend in rwsem_down_write_failed() dropped from
5.88% to 1.52% after the patch.
The xfstests was also run and no regression was observed.

locking/rwsem: Set lock ownership ASAP
In order to optimize the spinning step, we need to set the lock owner as soon as the lock is acquired; after a successful counter cmpxchg operation, that is. This is particularly useful as rwsems need to set the owner to nil for readers, so there is a greater chance of falling out of the spinning. Currently we only set the owner much later in the game, in the more generic level -- latency can be specially bad when waiting for a node->next pointer when releasing the osq in up_write calls. As such, update the owner inside rwsem_try_write_lock (when the lock is obtained after blocking) and rwsem_try_write_lock_unqueued (when the lock is obtained while spinning). This requires creating a new internal rwsem.h header to share the owner related calls. Also cleanup some headers for mutex and rwsem.

locking/rwsem: Support optimistic spinning
We have reached the point where our mutexes are quite fine tuned
for a number of situations. This includes the use of heuristics
and optimistic spinning, based on MCS locking techniques.
Exclusive ownership of read-write semaphores are, conceptually,
just about the same as mutexes, making them close cousins. To
this end we need to make them both perform similarly, and
right now, rwsems are simply not up to it. This was discovered
by both reverting commit
