      x86/asm: Use CC_SET/CC_OUT in percpu_cmpxchg8b_double() to micro-optimize code generation · 1966c5e5
      Uros Bizjak 提交于
      Use CC_SET(z)/CC_OUT(z) instead of explicit SETZ instruction.
      
      Using these two defines, the compiler that supports generation of
      condition code outputs from inline assembly flags generates e.g.:
      
        cmpxchg8b %fs:(%esi)
        jne    172255 <__kmalloc+0x65>
      
      instead of:
      
        cmpxchg8b %fs:(%esi)
        sete   %al
        test   %al,%al
        je     172255 <__kmalloc+0x65>
      
      Note that older compilers now generate:
      
        cmpxchg8b %fs:(%esi)
        sete   %cl
        test   %cl,%cl
        je     173a85 <__kmalloc+0x65>
      
      since we have to mark that cmpxchg8b instruction outputs to %eax
      register and this way clobbers the value in the register.

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
      makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
      
      By default all files without license information are under the default
      license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
      
      Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
      SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
      shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
      
      This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
      Philippe Ombredanne.
      
      How this work was done:
      
      Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
      the use cases:
       - file had no licensing information it it.
       - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
       - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
      
      Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
      where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
      had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
      
      The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
      a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
      output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
      tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
      base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
      
      The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
      assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
      results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
      to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
      immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
       - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
       - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
         lines of source
       - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
         lines).
      
      All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
      
      The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
      identifiers to apply.
      
       - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
         considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
         COPYING file license applied.
      
         For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0                                              11139
      
         and resulted in the first patch in this series.
      
         If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
         Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930
      
         and resulted in the second patch in this series.
      
       - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
         of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
         any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
         it (per prior point).  Results summary:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
         GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
         LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
         GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
         ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
         LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
         LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1
      
         and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
      
       - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
         the concluded license(s).
      
       - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
         license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
         licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
      
       - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
         resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
         which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
      
       - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
         confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
       - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
         the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
         in time.
      
      In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
      spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
      source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
      by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
      FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
      disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
      Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
      they are related.
      
      Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
      for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
      files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
      in about 15000 files.
      
      In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
      copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
      correct identifier.
      
      Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
      inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
      version early this week with:
       - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
         license ids and scores
       - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
         files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
       - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
         was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
         SPDX license was correct
      
      This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
      worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
      different types of files to be modified.
      
      These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
      parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
      format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
      based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
      distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
      comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
      generate the patches.

      percpu: invoke __verify_pcpu_ptr() from the generic part of accessors and operations · 6fbc07bb
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      __verify_pcpu_ptr() is used to verify that a specified parameter is
      actually an percpu pointer by percpu accessor and operation
      implementations.  Currently, where it's called isn't clearly defined
      and we just ensure that it's invoked at least once for all accessors
      and operations.
      
      The lack of clarity on when it should be called isn't nice and given
      that this is a completely generic issue, there's no reason to make
      archs worry about it.
      
      This patch updates __verify_pcpu_ptr() invocations such that it's
      always invoked from the final generic wrapper once per access or
      operation.  As this is already the case for {raw|this}_cpu_*()
      definitions through __pcpu_size_*(), only the {raw|per|this}_cpu_ptr()
      accessors need to be updated.
      
      This change makes it unnecessary for archs to worry about
      __verify_pcpu_ptr().  x86's arch_raw_cpu_ptr() is updated accordingly.

      percpu: introduce arch_raw_cpu_ptr() · bbc344e1
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Currently, archs can override raw_cpu_ptr() directly; however, we
      wanna build a layer of indirection in the generic part of percpu so
      that we can implement generic features there without affecting archs.
      
      Introduce arch_raw_cpu_ptr() which is used to define raw_cpu_ptr() by
      generic percpu code.  The two are identical for now.  x86 is currently
      the only arch which overrides raw_cpu_ptr() and is converted to
      define arch_raw_cpu_ptr() instead.
      
      This doesn't introduce any functional difference.

      percpu: add raw_cpu_ops · b3ca1c10
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      The kernel has never been audited to ensure that this_cpu operations are
      consistently used throughout the kernel.  The code generated in many
      places can be improved through the use of this_cpu operations (which
      uses a segment register for relocation of per cpu offsets instead of
      performing address calculations).
      
      The patch set also addresses various consistency issues in general with
      the per cpu macros.
      
      A. The semantics of __this_cpu_ptr() differs from this_cpu_ptr only
         because checks are skipped. This is typically shown through a raw_
         prefix. So this patch set changes the places where __this_cpu_ptr()
         is used to raw_cpu_ptr().
      
      B. There has been the long term wish by some that __this_cpu operations
         would check for preemption. However, there are cases where preemption
         checks need to be skipped. This patch set adds raw_cpu operations that
         do not check for preemption and then adds preemption checks to the
         __this_cpu operations.
      
      C. The use of __get_cpu_var is always a reference to a percpu variable
         that can also be handled via a this_cpu operation. This patch set
         replaces all uses of __get_cpu_var with this_cpu operations.
      
      D. We can then use this_cpu RMW operations in various places replacing
         sequences of instructions by a single one.
      
      E. The use of this_cpu operations throughout will allow other arches than
         x86 to implement optimized references and RMV operations to work with
         per cpu local data.
      
      F. The use of this_cpu operations opens up the possibility to
         further optimize code that relies on synchronization through
         per cpu data.
      
      The patch set works in a couple of stages:
      
      I. Patch 1 adds the additional raw_cpu operations and raw_cpu_ptr().
          Also converts the existing __this_cpu_xx_# primitive in the x86
          code to raw_cpu_xx_#.
      
      II. Patch 2-4 use the raw_cpu operations in places that would give
           us false positives once they are enabled.
      
      III. Patch 5 adds preemption checks to __this_cpu operations to allow
          checking if preemption is properly disabled when these functions
          are used.
      
      IV. Patches 6-20 are patches that simply replace uses of __get_cpu_var
         with this_cpu_ptr. They do not depend on any changes to the percpu
         code. No preemption tests are skipped if they are applied.
      
      V. Patches 21-46 are conversion patches that use this_cpu operations
         in various kernel subsystems/drivers or arch code.
      
      VI.  Patches 47/48 (not included in this series) remove no longer used
          functions (__this_cpu_ptr and __get_cpu_var).  These should only be
          applied after all the conversion patches have made it and after we
          have done additional passes through the kernel to ensure that none of
          the uses of these functions remain.
      
      This patch (of 46):
      
      The patches following this one will add preemption checks to __this_cpu
      ops so we need to have an alternative way to use this_cpu operations
      without preemption checks.
      
      raw_cpu_ops will be the basis for all other ops since these will be the
      operations that do not implement any checks.
      
      Primitive operations are renamed by this patch from __this_cpu_xxx to
      raw_cpu_xxxx.
      
      Also change the uses of the x86 percpu primitives in preempt.h.
      These depend directly on asm/percpu.h (header #include nesting issue).

      percpu: fix this_cpu_sub() subtrahend casting for unsigneds · bd09d9a3
      Greg Thelen 提交于
      this_cpu_sub() is implemented as negation and addition.
      
      This patch casts the adjustment to the counter type before negation to
      sign extend the adjustment.  This helps in cases where the counter type
      is wider than an unsigned adjustment.  An alternative to this patch is
      to declare such operations unsupported, but it seemed useful to avoid
      surprises.
      
      This patch specifically helps the following example:
        unsigned int delta = 1
        preempt_disable()
        this_cpu_write(long_counter, 0)
        this_cpu_sub(long_counter, delta)
        preempt_enable()
      
      Before this change long_counter on a 64 bit machine ends with value
      0xffffffff, rather than 0xffffffffffffffff.  This is because
      this_cpu_sub(pcp, delta) boils down to this_cpu_add(pcp, -delta),
      which is basically:
        long_counter = 0 + 0xffffffff

      x86: Fix and improve percpu_cmpxchg{8,16}b_double() · cebef5be
      Jan Beulich 提交于
      They had several problems/shortcomings:
      
      Only the first memory operand was mentioned in the 2x32bit asm()
      operands, and 2x64-bit version had a memory clobber. The first
      allowed the compiler to not recognize the need to re-load the
      data in case it had it cached in some register, and the second
      was overly destructive.
      
      The memory operand in the 2x32-bit asm() was declared to only be
      an output.
      
      The types of the local copies of the old and new values were
      incorrect (as in other per-CPU ops, the types of the per-CPU
      variables accessed should be used here, to make sure the
      respective types are compatible).
      
      The __dummy variable was pointless (and needlessly initialized
      in the 2x32-bit case), given that local copies of the inputs
      already exist.
      
      The 2x64-bit variant forced the address of the first object into
      %rsi, even though this is needed only for the call to the
      emulation function. The real cmpxchg16b can operate on an
      memory.
      
      At once also change the return value type to what it really is -
      'bool'.

      Looking at assembly code, I found:
      
      list = this_cpu_xchg(irq_work_list, NULL);
      
      gives this wrong code : (gcc-4.1.2 cross compiler)
      
      ffffffff810bc45e:
      	mov    %gs:0xead0,%rax
      	cmpxchg %rax,%gs:0xead0
      	jne    ffffffff810bc45e <irq_work_run+0x3e>
      	test   %rax,%rax
      	je     ffffffff810bc4aa <irq_work_run+0x8a>
      
      Tell gcc we dirty eax/rax register in percpu_xchg_op()
      
      Compiler must use another register to store pxo_new__
      
      We also dont need to reload percpu value after a jump,
      since a 'failed' cmpxchg already updated eax/rax
      
      Wrong generated code was :
      	xor     %rax,%rax   /* load 0 into %rax */
      1:	mov     %gs:0xead0,%rax
      	cmpxchg %rax,%gs:0xead0
      	jne     1b
      	test    %rax,%rax
      
      After patch :
      
      	xor     %rdx,%rdx   /* load 0 into %rdx */
      	mov     %gs:0xead0,%rax
      1:	cmpxchg %rdx,%gs:0xead0
      	jne     1b:
      	test    %rax,%rax

      cpuops: Use cmpxchg for xchg to avoid lock semantics · 8270137a
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      Use cmpxchg instead of xchg to realize this_cpu_xchg.
      
      xchg will cause LOCK overhead since LOCK is always implied but cmpxchg
      will not.
      
      Baselines:
      
      xchg()		= 18 cycles (no segment prefix, LOCK semantics)
      __this_cpu_xchg = 1 cycle
      
      (simulated using this_cpu_read/write, two prefixes. Looks like the
      cpu can use loop optimization to get rid of most of the overhead)
      
      Cycles before:
      
      this_cpu_xchg	 = 37 cycles (segment prefix and LOCK (implied by xchg))
      
      After:
      
      this_cpu_xchg	= 11 cycle (using cmpxchg without lock semantics)
