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.

Wound/wait mutexes are used when other multiple lock
acquisitions of a similar type can be done in an arbitrary
order. The deadlock handling used here is called wait/wound in
the RDBMS literature: The older tasks waits until it can acquire
the contended lock. The younger tasks needs to back off and drop
all the locks it is currently holding, i.e. the younger task is
wounded.

When building a kernel using 'make -s', I expect to see an empty output,
except for build warnings and errors. The build_OID_registry code
always prints one line when run, which is not helpful to most people
building the kernels, and which makes it harder to automatically
check for build warnings.
Let's just remove the one line output.

percpu-refcount was incorrectly using preempt_disable/enable() for RCU
critical sections against call_rcu(). 6a24474da8 ("percpu-refcount:
consistently use plain (non-sched) RCU") fixed it by converting the
preepmtion operations with rcu_read_[un]lock() citing that there isn't
any advantage in using sched-RCU over using the usual one; however,
rcu_read_[un]lock() for the preemptible RCU implementation -
CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, chosen when CONFIG_PREEMPT - are slightly
more expensive than preempt_disable/enable().
In a contrived microbench which repeats the followings,
- percpu_ref_get()
- copy 32 bytes of data into percpu buffer
- percpu_put_get()
- copy 32 bytes of data into percpu buffer
rcu_read_[un]lock() used in percpu_ref_get/put() makes it go slower by
about 15% when compared to using sched-RCU.
As the RCU critical sections are extremely short, using sched-RCU
shouldn't have any latency implications. Convert to RCU-sched.

Implement percpu_tryget() which stops giving out references once the
percpu_ref is visible as killed. Because the refcnt is per-cpu,
different CPUs will start to see a refcnt as killed at different
points in time and tryget() may continue to succeed on subset of cpus
for a while after percpu_ref_kill() returns.
For use cases where it's necessary to know when all CPUs start to see
the refcnt as dead, percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() is added. The new
function takes an extra argument @confirm_kill which is invoked when
the refcnt is guaranteed to be viewed as killed on all CPUs.
While this isn't the prettiest interface, it doesn't force synchronous
wait and is much safer than requiring the caller to do its own
call_rcu().
v2: Patch description rephrased to emphasize that tryget() may
continue to succeed on some CPUs after kill() returns as suggested
by Kent.
v3: Function comment in percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() updated warning
people to not depend on the implied RCU grace period from the
confirm callback as it's an implementation detail.

Normally, percpu_ref_init() initializes and percpu_ref_kill()
initiates destruction which completes asynchronously. The
asynchronous destruction can be problematic in init failure path where
the caller wants to destroy half-constructed object - distinguishing
half-constructed objects from the usual release method can be painful
for complex objects.
This patch implements percpu_ref_cancel_init() which synchronously
destroys the percpu_ref without invoking release. To avoid
unintentional misuses, the function requires the ref to have finished
percpu_ref_init() but never used and triggers WARN otherwise.
v2: Explain the weird name and usage restriction in the function
comment.

Two small changes.
* Unlike most init functions, percpu_ref_init() allocates memory and
may fail. Let's mark it with __must_check in case the caller
forgets.
* percpu_ref_kill_rcu() is unnecessarily using ACCESS_ONCE() to
dereference @ref->pcpu_count, which can be misleading. The pointer
is guaranteed to be valid and visible and can't change underneath
the function. Drop ACCESS_ONCE().

This implements a refcount with similar semantics to
atomic_get()/atomic_dec_and_test() - but percpu.
It also implements two stage shutdown, as we need it to tear down the
percpu counts. Before dropping the initial refcount, you must call
percpu_ref_kill(); this puts the refcount in "shutting down mode" and
switches back to a single atomic refcount with the appropriate
barriers (synchronize_rcu()).
It's also legal to call percpu_ref_kill() multiple times - it only
returns true once, so callers don't have to reimplement shutdown
synchronization.

The umul_ppmm() macro for parisc uses the xmpyu assembler statement
which does calculation via a floating point register.
But usage of floating point registers inside the Linux kernel are not
allowed and gcc will stop compilation due to the -mdisable-fpregs
compiler option.
Fix this by disabling the umul_ppmm() and udiv_qrnnd() macros. The
mpilib will then use the generic built-in implementations instead.

klist: del waiter from klist_remove_waiters before wakeup waitting process
driver core: print sysfs attribute name when warning about bogus permissions
driver core: export subsys_virtual_register
There is a race between klist_remove and klist_release. klist_remove
uses a local var waiter saved on stack. When klist_release calls
wake_up_process(waiter->process) to wake up the waiter, waiter might run
immediately and reuse the stack. Then, klist_release calls
list_del(&waiter->list) to change previous
wait data and cause prior waiter thread corrupt.
The patch fixes it against kernel 3.9.

That function is only present with CONFIG_NET. Turns out that
crypto/algif_skcipher.c also uses that outside net, but it actually

In addition, commit 6d4f0139d6 added

socket.h already includes uio.h, so no callers need updating; trying

This change fixes a race condition where a reader might determine it
needs to block, but by the time it acquires the wait_lock the rwsem has
active readers and no queued waiters.
In this situation the reader can run in parallel with the existing
active readers; it does not need to block until the active readers
complete.
Thanks to Peter Hurley for noticing this possible race.

When we decide to wake up readers, we must first grant them as many read
locks as necessary, and then actually wake up all these readers. But in
order to know how many read shares to grant, we must first count the
readers at the head of the queue. This might take a while if there are
many readers, and we want to be protected against a writer stealing the
lock while we're counting. To that end, we grant the first reader lock
before counting how many more readers are queued.
We also require some adjustments to the wake_type semantics.
RWSEM_WAKE_NO_ACTIVE used to mean that we had found the count to be
RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS, in which case the rwsem was known to be free as
nobody could steal it while we hold the wait_lock. This doesn't make
sense once we implement fastpath write lock stealing, so we now use
RWSEM_WAKE_ANY in that case.
Similarly, when rwsem_down_write_failed found that a read lock was
active, it would use RWSEM_WAKE_READ_OWNED which signalled that new
readers could be woken without checking first that the rwsem was
available. We can't do that anymore since the existing readers might
release their read locks, and a writer could steal the lock before we
wake up additional readers. So, we have to use a new RWSEM_WAKE_READERS
value to indicate we only want to wake readers, but we don't currently
hold any read lock.

This is mostly for cleanup value:
- We don't need several gotos to handle the case where the first
waiter is a writer. Two simple tests will do (and generate very
similar code).
- In the remainder of the function, we know the first waiter is a reader,
so we don't have to double check that. We can use do..while loops
to iterate over the readers to wake (generates slightly better code).

Some small code simplifications can be achieved by doing more agressive
lock stealing:
- When rwsem_down_write_failed() notices that there are no active locks
(and thus no thread to wake us if we decided to sleep), it used to wake
the first queued process. However, stealing the lock is also sufficient
to deal with this case, so we don't need this check anymore.
- In try_get_writer_sem(), we can steal the lock even when the first waiter
is a reader. This is correct because the code path that wakes readers is
protected by the wait_lock. As to the performance effects of this change,
they are expected to be minimal: readers are still granted the lock
(rather than having to acquire it themselves) when they reach the front
of the wait queue, so we have essentially the same behavior as in
rwsem-spinlock.

When waking writers, we never grant them the lock - instead, they have
to acquire it themselves when they run, and remove themselves from the
wait_list when they succeed.
As a result, we can do a few simplifications in rwsem_down_write_failed():
- We don't need to check for !waiter.task since __rwsem_do_wake() doesn't
remove writers from the wait_list
- There is no point releaseing the wait_lock before entering the wait loop,
as we will need to reacquire it immediately. We can change the loop so
that the lock is always held at the start of each loop iteration.
- We don't need to get a reference on the task structure, since the task
is responsible for removing itself from the wait_list. There is no risk,
like in the rwsem_down_read_failed() case, that a task would wake up and
exit (thus destroying its task structure) while __rwsem_do_wake() is
still running - wait_lock protects against that.

When trying to acquire a read lock, the RWSEM_ACTIVE_READ_BIAS
adjustment doesn't cause other readers to block, so we never have to

rwsem_down_read_failed().
We also never want to steal the lock in rwsem_down_read_failed(), so we
don't have to grab the wait_lock either.
