Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar: "The tree got pretty big in this development cycle, but the net effect is pretty good: 115 files changed, 673 insertions(+), 1522 deletions(-) The main changes were: - Rework and generalize the mutex code to remove per arch mutex primitives. (Peter Zijlstra) - Add vCPU preemption support: add an interface to query the preemption status of vCPUs and use it in locking primitives - this optimizes paravirt performance. (Pan Xinhui, Juergen Gross, Christian Borntraeger) - Introduce cpu_relax_yield() and remov cpu_relax_lowlatency() to clean up and improve the s390 lock yielding machinery and its core kernel impact. (Christian Borntraeger) - Micro-optimize mutexes some more. (Waiman Long) - Reluctantly add the to-be-deprecated mutex_trylock_recursive() interface on a temporary basis, to give the DRM code more time to get rid of its locking hacks. Any other users will be NAK-ed on sight. (We turned off the deprecation warning for the time being to not pollute the build log.) (Peter Zijlstra) - Improve the rtmutex code a bit, in light of recent long lived bugs/races. (Thomas Gleixner) - Misc fixes, cleanups" * 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (36 commits) x86/paravirt: Fix bool return type for PVOP_CALL() x86/paravirt: Fix native_patch() locking/ww_mutex: Use relaxed atomics locking/rtmutex: Explain locking rules for rt_mutex_proxy_unlock()/init_proxy_locked() locking/rtmutex: Get rid of RT_MUTEX_OWNER_MASKALL x86/paravirt: Optimize native pv_lock_ops.vcpu_is_preempted() locking/mutex: Break out of expensive busy-loop on {mutex,rwsem}_spin_on_owner() when owner vCPU is preempted locking/osq: Break out of spin-wait busy waiting loop for a preempted vCPU in osq_lock() Documentation/virtual/kvm: Support the vCPU preemption check x86/xen: Support the vCPU preemption check x86/kvm: Support the vCPU preemption check x86/kvm: Support the vCPU preemption check kvm: Introduce kvm_write_guest_offset_cached() locking/core, x86/paravirt: Implement vcpu_is_preempted(cpu) for KVM and Xen guests locking/spinlocks, s390: Implement vcpu_is_preempted(cpu) locking/core, powerpc: Implement vcpu_is_preempted(cpu) sched/core: Introduce the vcpu_is_preempted(cpu) interface sched/wake_q: Rename WAKE_Q to DEFINE_WAKE_Q locking/core: Provide common cpu_relax_yield() definition locking/mutex: Don't mark mutex_trylock_recursive() as deprecated, temporarily ...

During page fault handling we check the last instruction to understand if the fault was for a read or for a write. By default we fall back to read. New instructions were added to the openrisc 1.1 spec for an atomic load/store pair (l.lwa/l.swa). This patch adds the opcode for l.swa (0x33) allowing it to be treated as a write operation.

The of_platform_populate call in the openrisc arch code is now redundant as the DT core provides a default call. Openrisc has a NULL match table which means only top level nodes with compatible strings will have devices creates. The default version will also descend nodes in the match table such as "simple-bus" which should be fine as openrisc doesn't have any of these (though it is preferred that memory-mapped peripherals be grouped under a bus node(s)).

Jonas Bonn authored
Fix signal handling for when signals are handled as the result of timers or exceptions, previous code assumed syscalls. This was noticeable with X crashing where it uses SIGALRM. This patch restores all regs before returning to userspace via _resume_userspace instead of via syscall return path. The rt_sigreturn syscall is more like a context switch than a function call; it entails a return from one context (the signal handler) to another (the process in question). For a context switch like this there are effectively no call-saved regs that remain constant across the transition.

Stefan Kristiansson authored
On OpenRISC, with its 8k pages, PAGE_SHIFT is defined to be 13. That makes the expression (1UL << (PAGE_SHIFT-2)) evaluate to 2048. The correct value for PTRS_PER_PGD should be 256. Correcting the PTRS_PER_PGD define unveiled a bug in map_ram(), where PTRS_PER_PGD was used when the intent was to iterate over a set of page table entries. This patch corrects that issue as well.

The original code causes a static checker warning because it has a continue inside a do { } while (0); loop. In that context, a continue and a break are equivalent. The intent was to go back to the start of the loop so the continue was a bug. I've added a retry label at the start and changed the continue to a goto retry. Then I removed the do { } while (0) loop and pulled the code in one indent level.

Dump and reset doesn't work unless cmpxchg64() is used both from packet and control plane paths. This approach is going to be slow though. Instead, use a percpu seqcount to fetch counters consistently, then subtract bytes and packets in case a reset was requested. The cpu that running over the reset code is guaranteed to own this stats exclusively, we have to turn counters into signed 64bit though so stats update on reset don't get wrong on underflow. This patch is based on original sketch from Eric Dumazet.

Commit: 3cded417 ("x86/paravirt: Optimize native pv_lock_ops.vcpu_is_preempted()") introduced a paravirt op with bool return type [*] It turns out that the PVOP_CALL*() macros miscompile when rettype is bool. Code that looked like: 83 ef 01 sub $0x1,%edi ff 15 32 a0 d8 00 callq *0xd8a032(%rip) # ffffffff81e28120 <pv_lock_ops+0x20> 84 c0 test %al,%al ended up looking like so after PVOP_CALL1() was applied: 83 ef 01 sub $0x1,%edi 48 63 ff movslq %edi,%rdi ff 14 25 20 81 e2 81 callq *0xffffffff81e28120 48 85 c0 test %rax,%rax Note how it tests the whole of %rax, even though a typical bool return function only sets %al, like: 0f 95 c0 setne %al c3 retq This is because ____PVOP_CALL() does: __ret = (rettype)__eax; and while regular integer type casts truncate the result, a cast to bool tests for any !0 value. Fix this by explicitly truncating to sizeof(rettype) before casting. [*] The actual bug should've been exposed in commit: 446f3dc8 ("locking/core, x86/paravirt: Implement vcpu_is_preempted(cpu) for KVM and Xen guests") but that didn't properly implement the paravirt call.
