Introduce a ->task_boost callback, only used by rtmutex-torturer. Tasks will boost/deboost around every 50k (arbitrarily) lock/unlock operations. o Hold times are similar to what we have for other locks: only occasionally having longer hold times (per ~200k ops). So we roughly do two full rt boost+deboosting ops with short hold times. Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso <dbueso@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

* | locking/pvqspinlock: Only kick CPU at unlock timeWaiman Long2015-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* | locking/pvqspinlock: Order pv_unhash() after cmpxchg() on unlock slowpathWill Deacon2015-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* | locking/qrwlock: Better optimization for interrupt context readersWaiman Long2015-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The qrwlock is fair in the process context, but becoming unfair when in the interrupt context to support use cases like the tasklist_lock. The current code isn't that well-documented on what happens when in the interrupt context. The rspin_until_writer_unlock() will only spin if the writer has gotten the lock. If the writer is still in the waiting state, the increment in the reader count will cause the writer to remain in the waiting state and the new interrupt context reader will get the lock and return immediately. The current code, however, does an additional read of the lock value which is not necessary as the information has already been there in the fast path. This may sometime cause an additional cacheline transfer when the lock is highly contended. This patch passes the lock value information gotten in the fast path to the slow path to eliminate the additional read. It also documents the action for the interrupt context readers more clearly.

This is especially helpful for code with callbacks, where the upper layer assumes a lock remains taken but a lower layer thinks it maybe can drop and reacquire the lock. By unwittingly breaking up the lock, races can be introduced. Lock pinning is a lockdep annotation that helps with this, when you lockdep_pin_lock() a held lock, any unlock without a lockdep_unpin_lock() will produce a WARN. Think of this as a relative of lockdep_assert_held(), except you don't only assert its held now, but ensure it stays held until you release your assertion. RFC: a possible alternative API would be something like: int cookie = lockdep_pin_lock(&foo); ... lockdep_unpin_lock(&foo, cookie); Where we pick a random number for the pin_count; this makes it impossible to sneak a lock break in without also passing the right cookie along. I've not done this because it ends up generating code for !LOCKDEP, esp. if you need to pass the cookie around for some reason.

This way, once the next task is awoken, it will have a better chance to of finding the wait_lock free when continuing executing in __rt_mutex_slowlock() when trying to acquire the rtmutex, calling try_to_take_rt_mutex(). Upon contended scenarios, other tasks attempting take the lock may acquire it first, right after the wait_lock is released, but (a) this can also occur with the current code, as it relies on the spinlock fairness, and (b) we are dealing with the top-waiter anyway, so it will always take the lock next.

It can be called from atomic regions (preemption or interrupts disabled), but not from hard/softirq/nmi context. Add a warning to alert abusers. The reasons for this are: 1) There is a potential deadlock in the slowpath 2) Another cpu which blocks on the rtmutex will boost the task which allegedly locked the rtmutex, but that cannot work because the hard/softirq context borrows the task context.

| * | | locking/rtmutex: Drop usage of __HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHGSebastian Andrzej Siewior2015-05-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rtmutex code is the only user of __HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG and we have a few other user of cmpxchg() which do not care about __HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG. This define was first introduced in 23f78d4a0 ("[PATCH] pi-futex: rt mutex core") which is v2.6.18. The generic cmpxchg was introduced later in 068fbad288 ("Add cmpxchg_local to asm-generic for per cpu atomic operations") which is v2.6.25. Back then something was required to get rtmutex working with the fast path on architectures without cmpxchg and this seems to be the result. It popped up recently on rt-users because ARM (v6+) does not define __HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG (even that it implements it) which results in slower locking performance in the fast path. To put some numbers on it: preempt -RT, am335x, 10 loops of 100000 invocations of rt_spin_lock() + rt_spin_unlock() (time "total" is the average of the 10 loops for the 100000 invocations, "loop" is "total / 100000 * 1000"): cmpxchg | slowpath used || cmpxchg used | total | loop || total | loop --------|-----------|-------||------------|------- ARMv6 | 9129.4 us | 91 ns || 3311.9 us | 33 ns generic | 9360.2 us | 94 ns || 10834.6 us | 108 ns ----------------------------||-------------------- Forcing it to generic cmpxchg() made things worse for the slowpath and even worse in cmpxchg() path. It boils down to 14ns more per lock+unlock in a cache hot loop so it might not be that much in real world. The last test was a substitute for pre ARMv6 machine but then I was able to perform the comparison on imx28 which is ARMv5 and therefore is always is using the generic cmpxchg implementation. And the numbers: | total | loop -------- |----------- |-------- slowpath | 263937.2 us | 2639 ns cmpxchg | 16934.2 us | 169 ns -------------------------------- The numbers are larger since the machine is slower in general. However, letting rtmutex use cmpxchg() instead the slowpath seem to improve things. Since from the ARM (tested on am335x + imx28) point of view always using cmpxchg() in rt_mutex_lock() + rt_mutex_unlock() makes sense I would drop the define.

(Note the extra 'S') But the typo was natural: the proper English term for such a generic object would be 'queued spinlocks' - so rename this and related symbols accordingly to the plural form.
