lockdep: fix static memory detection even more

2023-08-21T20:46:24Z

On the parisc architecture, lockdep reports for all static objects which are in the __initdata section (e.g. "setup_done" in devtmpfs, "kthreadd_done" in init/main.c) this warning: INFO: trying to register non-static key. The warning itself is wrong, because those objects are in the __initdata section, but the section itself is on parisc outside of range from _stext to _end, which is why the static_obj() functions returns a wrong answer. While fixing this issue, I noticed that the whole existing check can be simplified a lot. Instead of checking against the _stext and _end symbols (which include code areas too) just check for the .data and .bss segments (since we check a data object). This can be done with the existing is_kernel_core_data() macro. In addition objects in the __initdata section can be checked with init_section_contains(), and is_kernel_rodata() allows keys to be in the _ro_after_init section. This partly reverts and simplifies commit bac59d18c701 ("x86/setup: Fix static memory detection").

x86/qspinlock-paravirt: Fix missing-prototype warning

__pv_queued_spin_unlock_slowpath() is defined in a header file as a global function, and designed to be called from inline asm, but there is no prototype visible in the definition: kernel/locking/qspinlock_paravirt.h:493:1: error: no previous \ prototype for '__pv_queued_spin_unlock_slowpath' [-Werror=missing-prototypes] Add this to the x86 header that contains the inline asm calling it, and ensure this gets included before the definition, rather than after it.

locking/rtmutex: Fix task->pi_waiters integrity

2023-07-17T11:59:10Z

Henry reported that rt_mutex_adjust_prio_check() has an ordering problem and puts the lie to the comment in [7]. Sharing the sort key between lock->waiters and owner->pi_waiters *does* create problems, since unlike what the comment claims, holding [L] is insufficient. Notably, consider: A / \ M1 M2 | | B C That is, task A owns both M1 and M2, B and C block on them. In this case a concurrent chain walk (B & C) will modify their resp. sort keys in [7] while holding M1->wait_lock and M2->wait_lock. So holding [L] is meaningless, they're different Ls. This then gives rise to a race condition between [7] and [11], where the requeue of pi_waiters will observe an inconsistent tree order. B C (holds M1->wait_lock, (holds M2->wait_lock, holds B->pi_lock) holds A->pi_lock) [7] waiter_update_prio(); ... [8] raw_spin_unlock(B->pi_lock); ... [10] raw_spin_lock(A->pi_lock); [11] rt_mutex_enqueue_pi(); // observes inconsistent A->pi_waiters // tree order Fixing this means either extending the range of the owner lock from [10-13] to [6-13], with the immediate problem that this means [6-8] hold both blocked and owner locks, or duplicating the sort key. Since the locking in chain walk is horrible enough without having to consider pi_lock nesting rules, duplicate the sort key instead. By giving each tree their own sort key, the above race becomes harmless, if C sees B at the old location, then B will correct things (if they need correcting) when it walks up the chain and reaches A.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar: - Introduce cmpxchg128() -- aka. the demise of cmpxchg_double() The cmpxchg128() family of functions is basically & functionally the same as cmpxchg_double(), but with a saner interface. Instead of a 6-parameter horror that forced u128 - u64/u64-halves layout details on the interface and exposed users to complexity, fragility & bugs, use a natural 3-parameter interface with u128 types. - Restructure the generated atomic headers, and add kerneldoc comments for all of the generic atomic{,64,_long}_t operations. The generated definitions are much cleaner now, and come with documentation. - Implement lock_set_cmp_fn() on lockdep, for defining an ordering when taking multiple locks of the same type. This gets rid of one use of lockdep_set_novalidate_class() in the bcache code. - Fix raw_cpu_generic_try_cmpxchg() bug due to an unintended variable shadowing generating garbage code on Clang on certain ARM builds. * tag 'locking-core-2023-06-27' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (43 commits) locking/atomic: scripts: fix ${atomic}_dec_if_positive() kerneldoc percpu: Fix self-assignment of __old in raw_cpu_generic_try_cmpxchg() locking/atomic: treewide: delete arch_atomic_*() kerneldoc locking/atomic: docs: Add atomic operations to the driver basic API documentation locking/atomic: scripts: generate kerneldoc comments docs: scripts: kernel-doc: accept bitwise negation like ~@var locking/atomic: scripts: simplify raw_atomic*() definitions locking/atomic: scripts: simplify raw_atomic_long*() definitions locking/atomic: scripts: split pfx/name/sfx/order locking/atomic: scripts: restructure fallback ifdeffery locking/atomic: scripts: build raw_atomic_long*() directly locking/atomic: treewide: use raw_atomic*_() locking/atomic: scripts: add trivial raw_atomic*_() locking/atomic: scripts: factor out order template generation locking/atomic: scripts: remove leftover "${mult}" locking/atomic: scripts: remove bogus order parameter locking/atomic: xtensa: add preprocessor symbols locking/atomic: x86: add preprocessor symbols locking/atomic: sparc: add preprocessor symbols locking/atomic: sh: add preprocessor symbols ...

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney: "Documentation updates Miscellaneous fixes, perhaps most notably: - Remove RCU_NONIDLE(). The new visibility of most of the idle loop to RCU has obsoleted this API. - Make the RCU_SOFTIRQ callback-invocation time limit also apply to the rcuc kthreads that invoke callbacks for CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. - Add a jiffies-based callback-invocation time limit to handle long-running callbacks. (The local_clock() function is only invoked once per 32 callbacks due to its high overhead.) - Stop rcu_tasks_invoke_cbs() from using never-onlined CPUs, which fixes a bug that can occur on systems with non-contiguous CPU numbering. kvfree_rcu updates: - Eliminate the single-argument variant of k[v]free_rcu() now that all uses have been converted to k[v]free_rcu_mightsleep(). - Add WARN_ON_ONCE() checks for k[v]free_rcu*() freeing callbacks too soon.
