      locking/mutex: Enable optimistic spinning of woken waiter · b341afb3
      Waiman Long authored
      This patch makes the waiter that sets the HANDOFF flag start spinning
      instead of sleeping until the handoff is complete or the owner
      sleeps. Otherwise, the handoff will cause the optimistic spinners to
      abort spinning as the handed-off owner may not be running.

      locking/mutex: Restructure wait loop · 5bbd7e64
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      Doesn't really matter yet, but pull the HANDOFF and trylock out from
      under the wait_lock.
      
      The intention is to add an optimistic spin loop here, which requires
      we do not hold the wait_lock, so shuffle code around in preparation.
      
      Also clarify the purpose of taking the wait_lock in the wait loop, its
      tempting to want to avoid it altogether, but the cancellation cases
      need to to avoid losing wakeups.

      locking/mutex: Add lock handoff to avoid starvation · 9d659ae1
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      Implement lock handoff to avoid lock starvation.
      
      Lock starvation is possible because mutex_lock() allows lock stealing,
      where a running (or optimistic spinning) task beats the woken waiter
      to the acquire.
      
      Lock stealing is an important performance optimization because waiting
      for a waiter to wake up and get runtime can take a significant time,
      during which everyboy would stall on the lock.
      
      The down-side is of course that it allows for starvation.
      
      This patch has the waiter requesting a handoff if it fails to acquire
      the lock upon waking. This re-introduces some of the wait time,
      because once we do a handoff we have to wait for the waiter to wake up
      again.
      
      A future patch will add a round of optimistic spinning to attempt to
      alleviate this penalty, but if that turns out to not be enough, we can
      add a counter and only request handoff after multiple failed wakeups.
      
      There are a few tricky implementation details:
      
       - accepting a handoff must only be done in the wait-loop. Since the
         handoff condition is owner == current, it can easily cause
         recursive locking trouble.
      
       - accepting the handoff must be careful to provide the ACQUIRE
         semantics.
      
       - having the HANDOFF bit set on unlock requires care, we must not
         clear the owner.
      
       - we must be careful to not leave HANDOFF set after we've acquired
         the lock. The tricky scenario is setting the HANDOFF bit on an
         unlocked mutex.

      locking/mutex: Rework mutex::owner · 3ca0ff57
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      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.

      mm: unexport __get_user_pages() · 0d731759
      Lorenzo Stoakes authored
      This patch unexports the low-level __get_user_pages() function.
      
      Recent refactoring of the get_user_pages* functions allow flags to be
      passed through get_user_pages() which eliminates the need for access to
      this function from its one user, kvm.
      
      We can see that the two calls to get_user_pages() which replace
      __get_user_pages() in kvm_main.c are equivalent by examining their call
      stacks:
      
        get_user_page_nowait():
          get_user_pages(start, 1, flags, page, NULL)
          __get_user_pages_locked(current, current->mm, start, 1, page, NULL, NULL,
      			    false, flags | FOLL_TOUCH)
          __get_user_pages(current, current->mm, start, 1,
      		     flags | FOLL_TOUCH | FOLL_GET, page, NULL, NULL)
      
        check_user_page_hwpoison():
          get_user_pages(addr, 1, flags, NULL, NULL)
          __get_user_pages_locked(current, current->mm, addr, 1, NULL, NULL, NULL,
      			    false, flags | FOLL_TOUCH)

      proc: don't use FOLL_FORCE for reading cmdline and environment · 272ddc8b
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Now that Lorenzo cleaned things up and made the FOLL_FORCE users
      explicit, it becomes obvious how some of them don't really need
      FOLL_FORCE at all.
      
      So remove FOLL_FORCE from the proc code that reads the command line and
      arguments from user space.
      
      The mem_rw() function actually does want FOLL_FORCE, because gdd (and
      possibly many other debuggers) use it as a much more convenient version
      of PTRACE_PEEKDATA, but we should consider making the FOLL_FORCE part
      conditional on actually being a ptracer.  This does not actually do
      that, just moves adds a comment to that effect and moves the gup_flags
      settings next to each other.

       "Here are the outstanding target-pending fixes for v4.9-rc2.
      
        This includes:
      
         - Fix v4.1.y+ reference leak regression with concurrent TMR
           ABORT_TASK + session shutdown. (Vaibhav Tandon)
      
         - Enable tcm_fc w/ SCF_USE_CPUID to avoid host exchange timeouts
           (Hannes)
      
         - target/user error sense handling fixes. (Andy + MNC + HCH)
      
         - Fix iscsi-target NOP_OUT error path iscsi_cmd descriptor leak
           (Varun)
      
         - Two EXTENDED_COPY SCSI status fixes for ESX VAAI (Dinesh Israni +
           Nixon Vincent)
      
         - Revert a v4.8 residual overflow change, that breaks sg_inq with
           small allocation lengths.
      
        There are a number of folks stress testing the v4.1.y regression fix
        in their environments, and more folks doing iser-target I/O stress
        testing atop recent v4.x.y code.
      
        There is also one v4.2.y+ RCU conversion regression related to
        explicit NodeACL configfs changes, that is still being tracked down"

      gpio: ath79: Fix module autoload · 6d8d271e
      Javier Martinez Canillas authored
      If the driver is built as a module, autoload won't work because the module
      alias information is not filled. So user-space can't match the registered
      device with the corresponding module.
      
      Export the module alias information using the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro.
      
      Before this patch:
      
      $ modinfo drivers/gpio/gpio-ath79.ko | grep alias
      $
      
      After this patch:
      
      $ modinfo drivers/gpio/gpio-ath79.ko | grep alias

      Apparently trying to poke a disabled or non-existent APIC
      leads to a box that doesn't even boot. Let's not do that.
      
      No real clue if this is the right fix, but at least my
      P3 machine boots again.
