49a7d46a (powerpc: Implement smp_cond_load_relaxed()) added busy-waiting pausing with a preferred SMT priority pattern, lowering the priority (reducing decode cycles) during the whole loop slowpath. However, data shows that while this pattern works well with simple spinlocks, queued spinlocks benefit more being kept in medium priority, with a cpu_relax() instead, being a low+medium combo on powerpc. Data is from three benchmarks on a Power9: 9008-22L 64 CPUs with 2 sockets and 8 threads per core. 1. locktorture. This is data for the lowest and most artificial/pathological level, with increasing thread counts pounding on the lock. Metrics are total ops/minute. Despite some small hits in the 4-8 range, scenarios are either neutral or favorable to this patch. +=========+==========+==========+=======+ | # tasks | vanilla | dirty | %diff | +=========+==========+==========+=======+ | 2 | 46718565 | 48751350 | 4.35 | +---------+----------+----------+-------+ | 4 | 51740198 | 50369082 | -2.65 | +---------+----------+----------+-------+ | 8 | 63756510 | 62568821 | -1.86 | +---------+----------+----------+-------+ | 16 | 67824531 | 70966546 | 4.63 | +---------+----------+----------+-------+ | 32 | 53843519 | 61155508 | 13.58 | +---------+----------+----------+-------+ | 64 | 53005778 | 53104412 | 0.18 | +---------+----------+----------+-------+ | 128 | 53331980 | 54606910 | 2.39 | +=========+==========+==========+=======+ 2. sockperf (tcp throughput) Here a client will do one-way throughput tests to a localhost server, with increasing message sizes, dealing with the sk_lock. This patch shows to put the performance of the qspinlock back to par with that of the simple lock: simple-spinlock vanilla dirty Hmean 14 73.50 ( 0.00%) 54.44 * -25.93%* 73.45 * -0.07%* Hmean 100 654.47 ( 0.00%) 385.61 * -41.08%* 771.43 * 17.87%* Hmean 300 2719.39 ( 0.00%) 2181.67 * -19.77%* 2666.50 * -1.94%* Hmean 500 4400.59 ( 0.00%) 3390.77 * -22.95%* 4322.14 * -1.78%* Hmean 850 6726.21 ( 0.00%) 5264.03 * -21.74%* 6863.12 * 2.04%* 3. dbench (tmpfs) Configured to run with up to ncpusx8 clients, it shows both latency and throughput metrics.

c6f5d02b (locking/spinlocks/arm64: Remove smp_mb() from arch_spin_is_locked()) made it pretty official that the call semantics do not imply any sort of barriers, and any user that gets creative must explicitly do any serialization. This creativity, however, is nowadays pretty limited: 1. spin_unlock_wait() has been removed from the kernel in favor of a lock/unlock combo. Furthermore, queued spinlocks have now for a number of years no longer relied on _Q_LOCKED_VAL for the call, but any non-zero value to indicate a locked state. There were cases where the delayed locked store could lead to breaking mutual exclusion with crossed locking; such as with sysv ipc and netfilter being the most extreme. 2. The auditing Andrea did in verified that remaining spin_is_locked() no longer rely on such semantics. Most callers just use it to assert a lock is taken, in a debug nature. The only user that gets cute is NOLOCK qdisc, as of: 96009c7d (sched: replace __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING bit with a spin lock) ... which ironically went in the next day after c6f5d02b. This change replaces test_bit() with spin_is_locked() to know whether to take the busylock heuristic to reduce contention on the main qdisc lock. So any races against spin_is_locked() for archs that use LL/SC for spin_lock() will be benign and not break any mutual exclusion; furthermore, both the seqlock and busylock have the same scope.

Russell Currey authored
The rfi_flush and entry_flush selftests work by using the PM_LD_MISS_L1 perf event to count L1D misses. The value of this event has changed over time: - Power7 uses 0x400f0 - Power8 and Power9 use both 0x400f0 and 0x3e054 - Power10 uses only 0x3e054 Rather than relying on raw values, configure perf to count L1D read misses in the most explicit way available. This fixes the selftests to work on systems without 0x400f0 as PM_LD_MISS_L1, and should change no behaviour for systems that the tests already worked on. The only potential downside is that referring to a specific perf event requires PMU support implemented in the kernel for that platform.

Pull x86 fixes from Borislav Petkov: - A couple of SEV-ES fixes and robustifications: verify usermode stack pointer in NMI is not coming from the syscall gap, correctly track IRQ states in the #VC handler and access user insn bytes atomically in same handler as latter cannot sleep. - Balance 32-bit fast syscall exit path to do the proper work on exit and thus not confuse audit and ptrace frameworks. - Two fixes for the ORC unwinder going "off the rails" into KASAN redzones and when ORC data is missing. * tag 'x86_urgent_for_v5.12_rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/sev-es: Use __copy_from_user_inatomic() x86/sev-es: Correctly track IRQ states in runtime #VC handler x86/sev-es: Check regs->sp is trusted before adjusting #VC IST stack x86/sev-es: Introduce ip_within_syscall_gap() helper x86/entry: Fix entry/exit mismatch on failed fast 32-bit syscalls x86/unwind/orc: Silence warnings caused by missing ORC data x86/unwind/orc: Disable KASAN checking in the ORC unwinder, part 2

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman: "Some more powerpc fixes for 5.12: - Fix wrong instruction encoding for lis in ppc_function_entry(), which could potentially lead to missed kprobes. - Fix SET_FULL_REGS on 32-bit and 64e, which prevented ptrace of non-volatile GPRs immediately after exec. - Clean up a missed SRR specifier in the recent interrupt rework. - Don't treat unrecoverable_exception() as an interrupt handler, it's called from other handlers so shouldn't do the interrupt entry/exit accounting itself. - Fix build errors caused by missing declarations for [en/dis]able_kernel_vsx(). Thanks to Christophe Leroy, Daniel Axtens, Geert Uytterhoeven, Jiri Olsa, Naveen N. Rao, and Nicholas Piggin" * tag 'powerpc-5.12-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux: powerpc/traps: unrecoverable_exception() is not an interrupt handler powerpc: Fix missing declaration of [en/dis]able_kernel_vsx() powerpc/64s/exception: Clean up a missed SRR specifier powerpc: Fix inverted SET_FULL_REGS bitop powerpc/64s: Use symbolic macros for function entry encoding powerpc/64s: Fix instruction encoding for lis in ppc_function_entry()
