* License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman2017-11-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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/ww_mutex: Add waiters in stamp orderNicolai Hähnle2017-01-141-0/+3

Keep adding waiters that have no context in FIFO order and take care not to starve them. While adding our task as a waiter, back off if we detect that there is a waiter with a lower stamp in front of us. Make sure to call lock_contended even when we back off early. For w/w mutexes, being first in the wait list is only stable when taking the lock without a context. Therefore, the purpose of the first flag is split into two: 'first' remains to indicate whether we want to spin optimistically, while 'handoff' indicates that we should be prepared to accept a handoff. For w/w locking with a context, we always accept handoffs after the first schedule(), to handle the following sequence of events: 1. Task #0 unlocks and hands off to Task #2 which is first in line 2. Task #1 adds itself in front of Task #2 3. Task #2 wakes up and must accept the handoff even though it is no longer first in line Signed-off-by: Nicolai Hähnle <nicolai.haehnle@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: =?UTF-8?q?Nicolai=20H=C3=A4hnle?= <Nicolai.Haehnle@amd.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Daniel Vetter <daniel@ffwll.ch> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Maarten Lankhorst <dev@mblankhorst.nl> Cc: Paul E.

| * locking/mutex: Fix mutex handoffPeter Zijlstra2017-01-141-1/+1

At that point it would find itself at the front of the queue, request a handoff and instantly claim ownership and continue, since owner would point to itself. Avoid this scenario and simplify the code by introducing a third low bit to signal handoff pickup. So once we request handoff, unlock clears the handoff bit and sets the pickup bit along with the new owner. This also removes the need for the .handoff argument to __mutex_trylock(), since that becomes superfluous with PICKUP. In order to guarantee enough low bits, ensure task_struct alignment is at least L1_CACHE_BYTES (which seems a good ideal regardless).

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We sometimes end up propagating IO blocking through mutexes; however, because there currently is no way of annotating mutex sleeps as iowait, there are cases where iowait and /proc/stat:procs_blocked report misleading numbers obscuring the actual state of the system. This patch adds mutex_lock_io() so that mutex sleeps can be marked as iowait in those cases.

* locking/mutex: Rework mutex::ownerPeter Zijlstra2016-10-251-16/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current mutex implementation has an atomic lock word and a non-atomic owner field. This disparity leads to a number of issues with the current mutex code as it means that we can have a locked mutex without an explicit owner (because the owner field has not been set, or already cleared). This leads to a number of weird corner cases, esp. between the optimistic spinning and debug code. Where the optimistic spinning code needs the owner field updated inside the lock region, the debug code is more relaxed because the whole lock is serialized by the wait_lock. Also, the spinning code itself has a few corner cases where we need to deal with a held lock without an owner field. Furthermore, it becomes even more of a problem when trying to fix starvation cases in the current code. We end up stacking special case on special case. To solve this rework the basic mutex implementation to be a single atomic word that contains the owner and uses the low bits for extra state. This matches how PI futexes and rt_mutex already work. By having the owner an integral part of the lock state a lot of the problems dissapear and we get a better option to deal with starvation cases, direct owner handoff. Changing the basic mutex does however invalidate all the arch specific mutex code; this patch leaves that unused in-place, a later patch will remove that.

* arch, locking: Ciao arch_mutex_cpu_relax()Davidlohr Bueso2014-07-171-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The arch_mutex_cpu_relax() function, introduced by 34b133f, is hacky and ugly. It was added a few years ago to address the fact that common cpu_relax() calls include yielding on s390, and thus impact the optimistic spinning functionality of mutexes. Nowadays we use this function well beyond mutexes: rwsem, qrwlock, mcs and lockref. Since the macro that defines the call is in the mutex header, any users must include mutex.h and the naming is misleading as well. This patch (i) renames the call to cpu_relax_lowlatency ("relax, but only if you can do it with very low latency") and (ii) defines it in each arch's asm/processor.h local header, just like for regular cpu_relax functions. On all archs, except s390, cpu_relax_lowlatency is simply cpu_relax, and thus we can take it out of mutex.h. While this can seem redundant, I believe it is a good choice as it allows us to move out arch specific logic from generic locking primitives and enables future(?) archs to transparently define it, similarly to System Z.

* locking/spinlocks/mcs: Convert osq lock to atomic_t to reduce overheadJason Low2014-07-161-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* mutex: Add w/w mutex slowpath debuggingDaniel Vetter2013-06-261-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Injects EDEADLK conditions at pseudo-random interval, with exponential backoff up to UINT_MAX (to ensure that every lock operation still completes in a reasonable time). This way we can test the wound slowpath even for ww mutex users where contention is never expected, and the ww deadlock avoidance algorithm is only needed for correctness against malicious userspace. An example would be protecting kernel modesetting properties, which thanks to single-threaded X isn't really expected to contend, ever. I've looked into using the CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION infrastructure, but decided against it for two reasons: - EDEADLK handling is mandatory for ww mutex users and should never affect the outcome of a syscall. This is in contrast to -ENOMEM injection. So fine configurability isn't required. - The fault injection framework only allows to set a simple probability for failure. Now the probability that a ww mutex acquire stage with N locks will never complete (due to too many injected EDEADLK backoffs) is zero. But the expected number of ww_mutex_lock operations for the completely uncontended case would be O(exp(N)). The per-acuiqire ctx exponential backoff solution choosen here only results in O(log N) overhead due to injection and so O(log N * N) lock operations. This way we can fail with high probability (and so have good test coverage even for fancy backoff and lock acquisition paths) without running into patalogical cases. Note that EDEADLK will only ever be injected when we managed to acquire the lock. This prevents any behaviour changes for users which rely on the EALREADY semantics.

* mutex: Queue mutex spinners with MCS lock to reduce cacheline contentionWaiman Long2013-04-191-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current mutex spinning code (with MUTEX_SPIN_ON_OWNER option turned on) allow multiple tasks to spin on a single mutex concurrently. A potential problem with the current approach is that when the mutex becomes available, all the spinning tasks will try to acquire the mutex more or less simultaneously. As a result, there will be a lot of cacheline bouncing especially on systems with a large number of CPUs. This patch tries to reduce this kind of contention by putting the mutex spinners into a queue so that only the first one in the queue will try to acquire the mutex. This will reduce contention and allow all the tasks to move forward faster. The queuing of mutex spinners is done using an MCS lock based implementation which will further reduce contention on the mutex cacheline than a similar ticket spinlock based implementation. This patch will add a new field into the mutex data structure for holding the MCS lock. This expands the mutex size by 8 bytes for 64-bit system and 4 bytes for 32-bit system. This overhead will be avoid if the MUTEX_SPIN_ON_OWNER option is turned off. The following table shows the jobs per minute (JPM) scalability data on an 8-node 80-core Westmere box with a 3.7.10 kernel. The numactl command is used to restrict the running of the fserver workloads to 1/2/4/8 nodes with hyperthreading off. +-----------------+-----------+-----------+-------------+----------+ | Configuration | Mean JPM | Mean JPM | Mean JPM | % Change | | | w/o patch | patch 1 | patches 1&2 | 1->1&2 | +-----------------+------------------------------------------------+ | | User Range 1100 - 2000 | +-----------------+------------------------------------------------+ | 8 nodes, HT off | 227972 | 227237 | 305043 | +34.2% | | 4 nodes, HT off | 393503 | 381558 | 394650 | +3.4% | | 2 nodes, HT off | 334957 | 325240 | 338853 | +4.2% | | 1 node , HT off | 198141 | 197972 | 198075 | +0.1% | +-----------------+------------------------------------------------+ | | User Range 200 - 1000 | +-----------------+------------------------------------------------+ | 8 nodes, HT off | 282325 | 312870 | 332185 | +6.2% | | 4 nodes, HT off | 390698 | 378279 | 393419 | +4.0% | | 2 nodes, HT off | 336986 | 326543 | 340260 | +4.2% | | 1 node , HT off | 197588 | 197622 | 197582 | 0.0% | +-----------------+-----------+-----------+-------------+----------+ At low user range 10-100, the JPM differences were within +/-1%. So they are not that interesting. The fserver workload uses mutex spinning extensively. With just the mutex change in the first patch, there is no noticeable change in performance. Rather, there is a slight drop in performance. This mutex spinning patch more than recovers the lost performance and show a significant increase of +30% at high user load with the full 8 nodes. Similar improvements were also seen in a 3.8 kernel. The table below shows the %time spent by different kernel functions as reported by perf when running the fserver workload at 1500 users with all 8 nodes. +-----------------------+-----------+---------+-------------+ | Function | % time | % time | % time | | | w/o patch | patch 1 | patches 1&2 | +-----------------------+-----------+---------+-------------+ | __read_lock_failed | 34.96% | 34.91% | 29.14% | | __write_lock_failed | 10.14% | 10.68% | 7.51% | | mutex_spin_on_owner | 3.62% | 3.42% | 2.33% | | mspin_lock | N/A | N/A | 9.90% | | __mutex_lock_slowpath | 1.46% | 0.81% | 0.14% | | _raw_spin_lock | 2.25% | 2.50% | 1.10% | +-----------------------+-----------+---------+-------------+ The fserver workload for an 8-node system is dominated by the contention in the read/write lock. Mutex contention also plays a role. With the first patch only, mutex contention is down (as shown by the __mutex_lock_slowpath figure) which help a little bit. We saw only a few percents improvement with that. By applying patch 2 as well, the single mutex_spin_on_owner figure is now split out into an additional mspin_lock figure. The time increases from 3.42% to 11.23%. It shows a great reduction in contention among the spinners leading to a 30% improvement. The time ratio 9.9/2.33=4.3 indicates that there are on average 4+ spinners waiting in the spin_lock loop for each spinner in the mutex_spin_on_owner loop. Contention in other locking functions also go down by quite a lot. The table below shows the performance change of both patches 1 & 2 over patch 1 alone in other AIM7 workloads (at 8 nodes, hyperthreading off). +--------------+---------------+----------------+-----------------+ | Workload | mean % change | mean % change | mean % change | | | 10-100 users | 200-1000 users | 1100-2000 users | +--------------+---------------+----------------+-----------------+ | alltests | 0.0% | -0.8% | +0.6% | | five_sec | -0.3% | +0.8% | +0.8% | | high_systime | +0.4% | +2.4% | +2.1% | | new_fserver | +0.1% | +14.1% | +34.2% | | shared | -0.5% | -0.3% | -0.4% | | short | -1.7% | -9.8% | -8.3% | +--------------+---------------+----------------+-----------------+ The short workload is the only one that shows a decline in performance probably due to the spinner locking and queuing overhead.

* mutexes, sched: Introduce arch_mutex_cpu_relax()Gerald Schaefer2010-11-261-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The spinning mutex implementation uses cpu_relax() in busy loops as a compiler barrier. Depending on the architecture, cpu_relax() may do more than needed in this specific mutex spin loops. On System z we also give up the time slice of the virtual cpu in cpu_relax(), which prevents effective spinning on the mutex. This patch replaces cpu_relax() in the spinning mutex code with arch_mutex_cpu_relax(), which can be defined by each architecture that selects HAVE_ARCH_MUTEX_CPU_RELAX. The default is still cpu_relax(), so this patch should not affect other architectures than System z for now.

* mutex: implement adaptive spinningPeter Zijlstra2009-01-141-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change mutex contention behaviour such that it will sometimes busy wait on acquisition - moving its behaviour closer to that of spinlocks. This concept got ported to mainline from the -rt tree, where it was originally implemented for rtmutexes by Steven Rostedt, based on work by Gregory Haskins. Testing with Ingo's test-mutex application (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/8/50) gave a 345% boost for VFS scalability on my testbox: # ./test-mutex-shm V 16 10 | grep "^avg ops" avg ops/sec: 296604 # ./test-mutex-shm V 16 10 | grep "^avg ops" avg ops/sec: 85870 The key criteria for the busy wait is that the lock owner has to be running on a (different) cpu. The idea is that as long as the owner is running, there is a fair chance it'll release the lock soon, and thus we'll be better off spinning instead of blocking/scheduling. Since regular mutexes (as opposed to rtmutexes) do not atomically track the owner, we add the owner in a non-atomic fashion and deal with the races in the slowpath. Furthermore, to ease the testing of the performance impact of this new code, there is means to disable this behaviour runtime (without having to reboot the system), when scheduler debugging is enabled (CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y), by issuing the following command: # echo NO_OWNER_SPIN > /debug/sched_features This command re-enables spinning again (this is also the default): # echo OWNER_SPIN > /debug/sched_features Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

* [PATCH] lockdep: avoid lockdep warning in mdNeilBrown2006-12-081-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | md_open takes ->reconfig_mutex which causes lockdep to complain. This (normally) doesn't have deadlock potential as the possible conflict is with a reconfig_mutex in a different device. I say "normally" because if a loop were created in the array->member hierarchy a deadlock could happen. However that causes bigger problems than a deadlock and should be fixed independently. So we flag the lock in md_open as a nested lock. This requires defining mutex_lock_interruptible_nested.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Generic lock debugging: - generalized lock debugging framework. For example, a bug in one lock subsystem turns off debugging in all lock subsystems. - got rid of the caller address passing (__IP__/__IP_DECL__/etc.) from the mutex/rtmutex debugging code: it caused way too much prototype hackery, and lockdep will give the same information anyway. - ability to do silent tests - check lock freeing in vfree too. - more finegrained debugging options, to allow distributions to turn off more expensive debugging features. There's no separate 'held mutexes' list anymore - but there's a 'held locks' stack within lockdep, which unifies deadlock detection across all lock classes. (this is independent of the lockdep validation stuff - lockdep first checks whether we are holding a lock already) Here are the current debugging options: CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y which do: config DEBUG_MUTEXES bool "Mutex debugging, basic checks" config DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC bool "Detect incorrect freeing of live mutexes" Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
