Waiman Long 11752adb68 locking/pvqspinlock: Implement hybrid PV queued/unfair locks 
Currently, all the lock waiters entering the slowpath will do one
lock stealing attempt to acquire the lock. That helps performance,
especially in VMs with over-committed vCPUs. However, the current
pvqspinlocks still don't perform as good as unfair locks in many cases.
On the other hands, unfair locks do have the problem of lock starvation
that pvqspinlocks don't have.

This patch combines the best attributes of an unfair lock and a
pvqspinlock into a hybrid lock with 2 modes - queued mode & unfair
mode. A lock waiter goes into the unfair mode when there are waiters
in the wait queue but the pending bit isn't set. Otherwise, it will
go into the queued mode waiting in the queue for its turn.

On a 2-socket 36-core E5-2699 v3 system (HT off), a kernel build
(make -j<n>) was done in a VM with unpinned vCPUs 3 times with the
best time selected and <n> is the number of vCPUs available. The build
times of the original pvqspinlock, hybrid pvqspinlock and unfair lock
with various number of vCPUs are as follows:

  vCPUs    pvqlock     hybrid pvqlock    unfair lock
  -----    -------     --------------    -----------
    30      342.1s         329.1s          329.1s
    36      314.1s         305.3s          307.3s
    45      345.0s         302.1s          306.6s
    54      365.4s         308.6s          307.8s
    72      358.9s         293.6s          303.9s
   108      343.0s         285.9s          304.2s

The hybrid pvqspinlock performs better or comparable to the unfair
lock.

By turning on QUEUED_LOCK_STAT, the table below showed the number
of lock acquisitions in unfair mode and queue mode after a kernel
build with various number of vCPUs.

  vCPUs    queued mode  unfair mode
  -----    -----------  -----------
    30      9,130,518      294,954
    36     10,856,614      386,809
    45      8,467,264   11,475,373
    54      6,409,987   19,670,855
    72      4,782,063   25,712,180

It can be seen that as the VM became more and more over-committed,
the ratio of locks acquired in unfair mode increases. This is all
done automatically to get the best overall performance as possible.

Using a kernel locking microbenchmark with number of locking
threads equals to the number of vCPUs available on the same machine,
the minimum, average and maximum (min/avg/max) numbers of locking
operations done per thread in a 5-second testing interval are shown
below:

  vCPUs         hybrid pvqlock             unfair lock
  -----         --------------             -----------
    36     822,135/881,063/950,363    75,570/313,496/  690,465
    54     542,435/581,664/625,937    35,460/204,280/  457,172
    72     397,500/428,177/499,299    17,933/150,679/  708,001
   108     257,898/288,150/340,871     3,085/181,176/1,257,109

It can be seen that the hybrid pvqspinlocks are more fair and
performant than the unfair locks in this test.

The table below shows the kernel build times on a smaller 2-socket
16-core 32-thread E5-2620 v4 system.

  vCPUs    pvqlock     hybrid pvqlock    unfair lock
  -----    -------     --------------    -----------
    16      436.8s         433.4s          435.6s
    36      366.2s         364.8s          364.5s
    48      423.6s         376.3s          370.2s
    64      433.1s         376.6s          376.8s

Again, the performance of the hybrid pvqspinlock was comparable to
that of the unfair lock.

Greg Kroah-Hartman b24413180f 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.

Waiman Long 34d54f3d69 locking/pvqspinlock: Relax cmpxchg's to improve performance on some architectures 
All the locking related cmpxchg's in the following functions are
replaced with the _acquire variants:

 - pv_queued_spin_steal_lock()
 - trylock_clear_pending()

This change should help performance on architectures that use LL/SC.

The cmpxchg in pv_kick_node() is replaced with a relaxed version
with explicit memory barrier to make sure that it is fully ordered
in the writing of next->lock and the reading of pn->state whether
the cmpxchg is a success or failure without affecting performance in
non-LL/SC architectures.

On a 2-socket 12-core 96-thread Power8 system with pvqspinlock
explicitly enabled, the performance of a locking microbenchmark
with and without this patch on a 4.13-rc4 kernel with Xinhui's PPC
qspinlock patch were as follows:

Pan Xinhui b193049375 locking/pv-qspinlock: Use cmpxchg_release() in __pv_queued_spin_unlock() 
cmpxchg_release() is more lighweight than cmpxchg() on some archs(e.g.
PPC), moreover, in __pv_queued_spin_unlock() we only needs a RELEASE in
the fast path(pairing with *_try_lock() or *_lock()). And the slow path
has smp_store_release too. So it's safe to use cmpxchg_release here.

Waiman Long 08be8f63c4 locking/pvstat: Separate wait_again and spurious wakeup stats 
Currently there are overlap in the pvqspinlock wait_again and
spurious_wakeup stat counters. Because of lock stealing, it is
no longer possible to accurately determine if spurious wakeup has
happened in the queue head.  As they track both the queue node and
queue head status, it is also hard to tell how many of those comes
from the queue head and how many from the queue node.

This patch changes the accounting rules so that spurious wakeup is
only tracked in the queue node. The wait_again count, however, is
only tracked in the queue head when the vCPU failed to acquire the
lock after a vCPU kick. This should give a much better indication of
the wait-kick dynamics in the queue node and the queue head.

Wanpeng Li 229ce63157 locking/pvqspinlock: Fix double hash race 
When the lock holder vCPU is racing with the queue head:

   CPU 0 (lock holder)    CPU1 (queue head)
   ===================    =================
   spin_lock();           spin_lock();
    pv_kick_node():        pv_wait_head_or_lock():
                            if (!lp) {
                             lp = pv_hash(lock, pn);
                             xchg(&l->locked, _Q_SLOW_VAL);
                            }
                            WRITE_ONCE(pn->state, vcpu_halted);
     cmpxchg(&pn->state,
      vcpu_halted, vcpu_hashed);
     WRITE_ONCE(l->locked, _Q_SLOW_VAL);
     (void)pv_hash(lock, pn);

In this case, lock holder inserts the pv_node of queue head into the
hash table and set _Q_SLOW_VAL unnecessary. This patch avoids it by
restoring/setting vcpu_hashed state after failing adaptive locking
spinning.

Waiman Long 32d62510f9 locking/pvqspinlock: Enable slowpath locking count tracking 
This patch enables the tracking of the number of slowpath locking
operations performed. This can be used to compare against the number
of lock stealing operations to see what percentage of locks are stolen
versus acquired via the regular slowpath.

Waiman Long cd0272fab7 locking/pvqspinlock: Queue node adaptive spinning 
In an overcommitted guest where some vCPUs have to be halted to make
forward progress in other areas, it is highly likely that a vCPU later
in the spinlock queue will be spinning while the ones earlier in the
queue would have been halted. The spinning in the later vCPUs is then
just a waste of precious CPU cycles because they are not going to
get the lock soon as the earlier ones have to be woken up and take
their turn to get the lock.

This patch implements an adaptive spinning mechanism where the vCPU
will call pv_wait() if the previous vCPU is not running.

Linux kernel builds were run in KVM guest on an 8-socket, 4
cores/socket Westmere-EX system and a 4-socket, 8 cores/socket
Haswell-EX system. Both systems are configured to have 32 physical
CPUs. The kernel build times before and after the patch were:

		    Westmere			Haswell
  Patch		32 vCPUs    48 vCPUs	32 vCPUs    48 vCPUs
  -----		--------    --------    --------    --------
  Before patch   3m02.3s     5m00.2s     1m43.7s     3m03.5s
  After patch    3m03.0s     4m37.5s	 1m43.0s     2m47.2s

For 32 vCPUs, this patch doesn't cause any noticeable change in
performance. For 48 vCPUs (over-committed), there is about 8%
performance improvement.

Waiman Long 1c4941fd53 locking/pvqspinlock: Allow limited lock stealing 
This patch allows one attempt for the lock waiter to steal the lock
when entering the PV slowpath. To prevent lock starvation, the pending
bit will be set by the queue head vCPU when it is in the active lock
spinning loop to disable any lock stealing attempt.  This helps to
reduce the performance penalty caused by lock waiter preemption while
not having much of the downsides of a real unfair lock.

The pv_wait_head() function was renamed as pv_wait_head_or_lock()
as it was modified to acquire the lock before returning. This is
necessary because of possible lock stealing attempts from other tasks.

Linux kernel builds were run in KVM guest on an 8-socket, 4
cores/socket Westmere-EX system and a 4-socket, 8 cores/socket
Haswell-EX system. Both systems are configured to have 32 physical
CPUs. The kernel build times before and after the patch were:

                    Westmere                    Haswell
  Patch         32 vCPUs    48 vCPUs    32 vCPUs    48 vCPUs
  -----         --------    --------    --------    --------
  Before patch   3m15.6s    10m56.1s     1m44.1s     5m29.1s
  After patch    3m02.3s     5m00.2s     1m43.7s     3m03.5s

For the overcommited case (48 vCPUs), this patch is able to reduce
kernel build time by more than 54% for Westmere and 44% for Haswell.

Waiman Long 45e898b735 locking/pvqspinlock: Collect slowpath lock statistics 
This patch enables the accumulation of kicking and waiting related
PV qspinlock statistics when the new QUEUED_LOCK_STAT configuration
option is selected. It also enables the collection of data which
enable us to calculate the kicking and wakeup latencies which have
a heavy dependency on the CPUs being used.

The statistical counters are per-cpu variables to minimize the
performance overhead in their updates. These counters are exported
via the debugfs filesystem under the qlockstat directory.  When the
corresponding debugfs files are read, summation and computing of the
required data are then performed.

The measured latencies for different CPUs are:

	CPU		Wakeup		Kicking
	---		------		-------
	Haswell-EX	63.6us		 7.4us
	Westmere-EX	67.6us		 9.3us

The measured latencies varied a bit from run-to-run. The wakeup
latency is much higher than the kicking latency.

A sample of statistical counters after system bootup (with vCPU
overcommit) was:

	pv_hash_hops=1.00
	pv_kick_unlock=1148
	pv_kick_wake=1146
	pv_latency_kick=11040
	pv_latency_wake=194840
	pv_spurious_wakeup=7
	pv_wait_again=4
	pv_wait_head=23
	pv_wait_node=1129

Waiman Long d78045306c locking/pvqspinlock, x86: Optimize the PV unlock code path 
The unlock function in queued spinlocks was optimized for better
performance on bare metal systems at the expense of virtualized guests.

For x86-64 systems, the unlock call needs to go through a
PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK() which saves and restores 8 64-bit
registers before calling the real __pv_queued_spin_unlock()
function. The thunk code may also be in a separate cacheline from
__pv_queued_spin_unlock().

This patch optimizes the PV unlock code path by:

 1) Moving the unlock slowpath code from the fastpath into a separate
    __pv_queued_spin_unlock_slowpath() function to make the fastpath
    as simple as possible..

 2) For x86-64, hand-coded an assembly function to combine the register
    saving thunk code with the fastpath code. Only registers that
    are used in the fastpath will be saved and restored. If the
    fastpath fails, the slowpath function will be called via another
    PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK(). For 32-bit, it falls back to the C
    __pv_queued_spin_unlock() code as the thunk saves and restores
    only one 32-bit register.

With a microbenchmark of 5M lock-unlock loop, the table below shows
the execution times before and after the patch with different number
of threads in a VM running on a 32-core Westmere-EX box with x86-64
4.2-rc1 based kernels:

Waiman Long 75d2270280 locking/pvqspinlock: Only kick CPU at unlock time 
For an over-committed guest with more vCPUs than physical CPUs
available, it is possible that a vCPU may be kicked twice before
getting the lock - once before it becomes queue head and once again
before it gets the lock. All these CPU kicking and halting (VMEXIT)
can be expensive and slow down system performance.

This patch adds a new vCPU state (vcpu_hashed) which enables the code
to delay CPU kicking until at unlock time. Once this state is set,
the new lock holder will set _Q_SLOW_VAL and fill in the hash table
on behalf of the halted queue head vCPU. The original vcpu_halted
state will be used by pv_wait_node() only to differentiate other
queue nodes from the qeue head.

Will Deacon 3b3fdf10a8 locking/pvqspinlock: Order pv_unhash() after cmpxchg() on unlock slowpath 
When we unlock in __pv_queued_spin_unlock(), a failed cmpxchg() on the lock
value indicates that we need to take the slow-path and unhash the
corresponding node blocked on the lock.

Since a failed cmpxchg() does not provide any memory-ordering guarantees,
it is possible that the node data could be read before the cmpxchg() on
weakly-ordered architectures and therefore return a stale value, leading
to hash corruption and/or a BUG().

This patch adds an smb_rmb() following the failed cmpxchg operation, so
that the unhashing is ordered after the lock has been checked.

Waiman Long cba77f03f2 locking/pvqspinlock: Fix kernel panic in locking-selftest 
Enabling locking-selftest in a VM guest may cause the following
kernel panic:

  kernel BUG at .../kernel/locking/qspinlock_paravirt.h:137!

This is due to the fact that the pvqspinlock unlock function is
expecting either a _Q_LOCKED_VAL or _Q_SLOW_VAL in the lock
byte. This patch prevents that bug report by ignoring it when
debug_locks_silent is set. Otherwise, a warning will be printed
if it contains an unexpected value.

With this patch applied, the kernel locking-selftest completed
without any noise.

Waiman Long a23db284fe locking/pvqspinlock: Implement simple paravirt support for the qspinlock 
Provide a separate (second) version of the spin_lock_slowpath for
paravirt along with a special unlock path.

The second slowpath is generated by adding a few pv hooks to the
normal slowpath, but where those will compile away for the native
case, they expand into special wait/wake code for the pv version.

The actual MCS queue can use extra storage in the mcs_nodes[] array to
keep track of state and therefore uses directed wakeups.

The head contender has no such storage directly visible to the
unlocker.  So the unlocker searches a hash table with open addressing
using a simple binary Galois linear feedback shift register.
