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: Exit read lock slowpath if queue empty & no writer
It was discovered that a constant stream of readers with occassional writers pounding on a rwsem may cause many of the readers to enter the slowpath unnecessarily thus increasing latency and lowering performance. In the current code, a reader entering the slowpath critical section will unconditionally set the WAITING_BIAS, if not set yet, and clear its active count even if no one is in the wait queue and no writer is present. This causes some incoming readers to observe the presence of waiters in the wait queue and hence have to go into the slowpath themselves. With sufficient numbers of readers and a relatively short lock hold time, the WAITING_BIAS may be repeatedly turned on and off and a substantial portion of the readers will go into the slowpath sustaining a rather long queue in the wait queue spinlock and repeated WAITING_BIAS on/off cycle until the logjam is broken opportunistically. To avoid this situation from happening, an additional check is added to detect the special case that the reader in the critical section is the only one in the wait queue and no writer is present. When that happens, it can just exit the slowpath and return immediately as its active count has already been set in the lock. Other incoming readers won't observe the presence of waiters and so will not be forced into the slowpath. The issue was found in a customer site where they had an application that pounded on the pread64 syscalls heavily on an XFS filesystem. The application was run in a recent 4-socket boxes with a lot of CPUs. They saw significant spinlock contention in the rwsem_down_read_failed() call. With this patch applied, the system CPU usage went down from 85% to 57%, and the spinlock contention in the pread64 syscalls was gone.

locking/percpu-rwsem: Annotate rwsem ownership transfer by setting RWSEM_OWNER_UNKNOWN
The filesystem freezing code needs to transfer ownership of a rwsem embedded in a percpu-rwsem from the task that does the freezing to another one that does the thawing by calling percpu_rwsem_release() after freezing and percpu_rwsem_acquire() before thawing. However, the new rwsem debug code runs afoul with this scheme by warning that the task that releases the rwsem isn't the one that acquires it, as reported by Amir Goldstein: DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(sem->owner != get_current()) WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1401 at /home/amir/build/src/linux/kernel/locking/rwsem.c:133 up_write+0x59/0x79 Call Trace: percpu_up_write+0x1f/0x28 thaw_super_locked+0xdf/0x120 do_vfs_ioctl+0x270/0x5f1 ksys_ioctl+0x52/0x71 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x16/0x19 do_syscall_64+0x5d/0x167 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe To work properly with the rwsem debug code, we need to annotate that the rwsem ownership is unknown during the tranfer period until a brave soul comes forward to acquire the ownership. During that period, optimistic spinning will be disabled.

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.

locking/rwsem-xadd: Fix missed wakeup due to reordering of load
If a spinner is present, there is a chance that the load of
rwsem_has_spinner() in rwsem_wake() can be reordered with
respect to decrement of rwsem count in __up_write() leading
to wakeup being missed:
spinning writer up_write caller
--------------- -----------------------
[S] osq_unlock() [L] osq
spin_lock(wait_lock)
sem->count=0xFFFFFFFF00000001
+0xFFFFFFFF00000000
count=sem->count
MB
sem->count=0xFFFFFFFE00000001
-0xFFFFFFFF00000001
spin_trylock(wait_lock)
return
rwsem_try_write_lock(count)
spin_unlock(wait_lock)
schedule()
Reordering of atomic_long_sub_return_release() in __up_write()
and rwsem_has_spinner() in rwsem_wake() can cause missing of
wakeup in up_write() context. In spinning writer, sem->count
and local variable count is 0XFFFFFFFE00000001. It would result
in rwsem_try_write_lock() failing to acquire rwsem and spinning
writer going to sleep in rwsem_down_write_failed().
The smp_rmb() will make sure that the spinner state is
consulted after sem->count is updated in up_write context.

Note, that we shouldn't wake anybody up in EINTR path, as: We check for (waiter.task) under spinlock before we go to out_nolock path. Current task wasn't able to be woken up, so there are a writer, owning the sem, or a writer, which is the first waiter. In the both cases we shouldn't wake anybody. If there is a writer, owning the sem, and we were the only waiter, remove RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS, as there are no waiters anymore.

locking/mutex: Break out of expensive busy-loop on {mutex,rwsem}_spin_on_owner() when owner vCPU is preempted
An over-committed guest with more vCPUs than pCPUs has a heavy overload in the two spin_on_owner. This blames on the lock holder preemption issue.

sched/wake_q: Rename WAKE_Q to DEFINE_WAKE_Q
Currently the wake_q data structure is defined by the WAKE_Q() macro. This macro, however, looks like a function doing something as "wake" is a verb. Even checkpatch.pl was confused as it reported warnings like WARNING: Missing a blank line after declarations #548: FILE: kernel/futex.c:3665: + int ret; + WAKE_Q(wake_q); This patch renames the WAKE_Q() macro to DEFINE_WAKE_Q() which clarifies what the macro is doing and eliminates the checkpatch.pl warnings.

locking/rwsem: Scan the wait_list for readers only once
When wanting to wakeup readers, __rwsem_mark_wakeup() currently
iterates the wait_list twice while looking to wakeup the first N
queued reader-tasks. While this can be quite inefficient, it was
there such that a awoken reader would be first and foremost
acknowledged by the lock counter.
Keeping the same logic, we can further benefit from the use of
wake_qs and avoid entirely the first wait_list iteration that sets
the counter as wake_up_process() isn't going to occur right away,
and therefore we maintain the counter->list order of going about
things.
Other than saving cycles with O(n) "scanning", this change also
nicely cleans up a good chunk of __rwsem_mark_wakeup(); both
visually and less tedious to read.
For example, the following improvements where seen on some will
it scale microbenchmarks, on a 48-core Haswell:

Other runs that saw improvements include context_switch and pipe; and
as expected, this is particularly highlighted on larger thread counts
as it becomes more expensive to walk the list twice.
No change in wakeup ordering or semantics.

We currently return a rw_semaphore structure, which is the same lock we passed to the function's argument in the first place. While there are several functions that choose this return value, the callers use it, for example, for things like ERR_PTR. This is not the case for __rwsem_mark_wake(), and in addition this function is really about the lock waiters (which we know there are at this point), so its somewhat odd to be returning the sem structure.

In __rwsem_do_wake(), the reader wakeup code will assume a writer has stolen the lock if the active reader/writer count is not 0. However, this is not as reliable an indicator as the original "< RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS" check. If another reader is present, the code will still break out and exit even if the writer is gone.

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: Optimize write lock by reducing operations in slowpath
When acquiring the rwsem write lock in the slowpath, we first try to set count to RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS. When that is successful, we then atomically add the RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS in cases where there are other tasks on the wait list. This causes write lock operations to often issue multiple atomic operations. We can instead make the list_is_singular() check first, and then set the count accordingly, so that we issue at most 1 atomic operation when acquiring the write lock and reduce unnecessary cacheline contention.

locking/rwsem: Rework zeroing reader waiter->task
Readers that are awoken will expect a nil ->task indicating
that a wakeup has occurred. Because of the way readers are
implemented, there's a small chance that the waiter will never
block in the slowpath (rwsem_down_read_failed), and therefore
requires some form of reference counting to avoid the following
scenario:
rwsem_down_read_failed() rwsem_wake()
get_task_struct();
spin_lock_irq(&wait_lock);
list_add_tail(&waiter.list)
spin_unlock_irq(&wait_lock);
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&wait_lock)
__rwsem_do_wake()
while (1) {
set_task_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
waiter->task = NULL
if (!waiter.task) // true
break;
schedule() // never reached
__set_task_state(TASK_RUNNING);
do_exit();
wake_up_process(tsk); // boom
... and therefore race with do_exit() when the caller returns.
There is also a mismatch between the smp_mb() and its documentation,
in that the serialization is done between reading the task and the
nil store. Furthermore, in addition to having the overlapping of
loads and stores to waiter->task guaranteed to be ordered within
that CPU, both wake_up_process() originally and now wake_q_add()
already imply barriers upon successful calls, which serves the
comment.
Now, as an alternative to perhaps inverting the checks in the blocker
side (which has its own penalty in that schedule is unavoidable),
with lockless wakeups this situation is naturally addressed and we
can just use the refcount held by wake_q_add(), instead doing so
explicitly. Of course, we must guarantee that the nil store is done
as the _last_ operation in that the task must already be marked for
deletion to not fall into the race above. Spurious wakeups are also
handled transparently in that the task's reference is only removed
when wake_up_q() is actually called _after_ the nil store.

locking/rwsem: Enable lockless waiter wakeup(s)
As wake_qs gain users, we can teach rwsems about them such that waiters can be awoken without the wait_lock. This is for both readers and writer, the former being the most ideal candidate as we can batch the wakeups shortening the critical region that much more -- ie writer task blocking a bunch of tasks waiting to service page-faults (mmap_sem readers). In general applying wake_qs to rwsem (xadd) is not difficult as the wait_lock is intended to be released soon _anyways_, with the exception of when a writer slowpath will proactively wakeup any queued readers if it sees that the lock is owned by a reader, in which we simply do the wakeups with the lock held (see comment in __rwsem_down_write_failed_common()). Similar to other locking primitives, delaying the waiter being awoken does allow, at least in theory, the lock to be stolen in the case of writers, however no harm was seen in this (in fact lock stealing tends to be a _good_ thing in most workloads), and this is a tiny window anyways. Some page-fault (pft) and mmap_sem intensive benchmarks show some pretty constant reduction in systime (by up to ~8 and ~10%) on a 2-socket, 12 core AMD box.

locking/rwsem: Fix down_write_killable()
The new signal_pending exit path in __rwsem_down_write_failed_common() was fingered as breaking his kernel by Tetsuo Handa. Upon inspection it was found that there are two things wrong with it; - it forgets to remove WAITING_BIAS if it leaves the list empty, or - it forgets to wake further waiters that were blocked on the now removed waiter. Especially the first issue causes new lock attempts to block and stall indefinitely, as the code assumes that pending waiters mean there is an owner that will wake when it releases the lock.

locking/rwsem: Introduce basis for down_write_killable()
Introduce a generic implementation necessary for down_write_killable(). This is a trivial extension of the already existing down_write() call which can be interrupted by SIGKILL. This patch doesn't provide down_write_killable() yet because arches have to provide the necessary pieces before. rwsem_down_write_failed() which is a generic slow path for the write lock is extended to take a task state and renamed to __rwsem_down_write_failed_common(). The return value is either a valid semaphore pointer or ERR_PTR(-EINTR). rwsem_down_write_failed_killable() is exported as a new way to wait for the lock and be killable. For rwsem-spinlock implementation the current __down_write() it updated in a similar way as __rwsem_down_write_failed_common() except it doesn't need new exports just visible __down_write_killable(). Architectures which are not using the generic rwsem implementation are supposed to provide their __down_write_killable() implementation and use rwsem_down_write_failed_killable() for the slow path.

locking/rwsem: Reduce spinlock contention in wakeup after up_read()/up_write()
In up_write()/up_read(), rwsem_wake() will be called whenever it detects that some writers/readers are waiting. The rwsem_wake() function will take the wait_lock and call __rwsem_do_wake() to do the real wakeup. For a heavily contended rwsem, doing a spin_lock() on wait_lock will cause further contention on the heavily contended rwsem cacheline resulting in delay in the completion of the up_read/up_write operations. This patch makes the wait_lock taking and the call to __rwsem_do_wake() optional if at least one spinning writer is present. The spinning writer will be able to take the rwsem and call rwsem_wake() later when it calls up_write(). With the presence of a spinning writer, rwsem_wake() will now try to acquire the lock using trylock. If that fails, it will just quit.

locking: Remove ACCESS_ONCE() usage
With the new standardized functions, we can replace all ACCESS_ONCE() calls across relevant locking - this includes lockref and seqlock while at it. ACCESS_ONCE() does not work reliably on non-scalar types. For example gcc 4.6 and 4.7 might remove the volatile tag for such accesses during the SRA (scalar replacement of aggregates) step: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145 Update the new calls regardless of if it is a scalar type, this is cleaner than having three alternatives.

locking/rwsem: Avoid deceiving lock spinners
When readers hold the semaphore, the ->owner is nil. As such, and unlike mutexes, '!owner' does not necessarily imply that the lock is free. This will cause writers to potentially spin excessively as they've been mislead to thinking they have a chance of acquiring the lock, instead of blocking. This patch therefore enhances the counter check when the owner is not set by the time we've broken out of the loop. Otherwise we can return true as a new owner has the lock and thus we want to continue spinning. While at it, we can make rwsem_spin_on_owner() less ambiguos and return right away under need_resched conditions.

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/spinlocks/mcs: Convert osq lock to atomic_t to reduce overhead
The cancellable MCS spinlock is currently used to queue threads that are doing optimistic spinning. It uses per-cpu nodes, where a thread obtaining the lock would access and queue the local node corresponding to the CPU that it's running on. Currently, the cancellable MCS lock is implemented by using pointers to these nodes. In this patch, instead of operating on pointers to the per-cpu nodes, we store the CPU numbers in which the per-cpu nodes correspond to in atomic_t. A similar concept is used with the qspinlock. By operating on the CPU # of the nodes using atomic_t instead of pointers to those nodes, this can reduce the overhead of the cancellable MCS spinlock by 32 bits (on 64 bit systems).

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
