this_cpu operations were implemented for arm64 in: 5284e1b4 arm64: xchg: Implement cmpxchg_double f97fc810 arm64: percpu: Implement this_cpu operations Unfortunately, it is possible for pre-emption to take place between address generation and data access. This can lead to cases where data is being manipulated by this_cpu for a different CPU than it was called on. Which effectively breaks the spec. This patch disables pre-emption for the this_cpu operations guaranteeing that address generation and data manipulation take place without a pre-emption in-between.

The generic this_cpu operations disable interrupts to ensure that the requested operation is protected from pre-emption. For arm64, this is overkill and can hurt throughput and latency. This patch provides arm64 specific implementations for the this_cpu operations. Rather than disable interrupts, we use the exclusive monitor or atomic operations as appropriate. The following operations are implemented: add, add_return, and, or, read, write, xchg. We also wire up a cmpxchg implementation from cmpxchg.h. Testing was performed using the percpu_test module and hackbench on a Juno board running 3.18-rc4.

The arm64 architecture has the ability to exclusively load and store a pair of registers from an address (ldxp/stxp). Also the SLUB can take advantage of a cmpxchg_double implementation to avoid taking some locks. This patch provides an implementation of cmpxchg_double for 64-bit pairs, and activates the logic required for the SLUB to use these functions (HAVE_ALIGNED_STRUCT_PAGE and HAVE_CMPXCHG_DOUBLE). Also definitions of this_cpu_cmpxchg_8 and this_cpu_cmpxchg_double_8 are wired up to cmpxchg_local and cmpxchg_double_local (rather than the stock implementations that perform non-atomic operations with interrupts disabled) as they are used by the SLUB. On a Juno platform running on only the A57s I get quite a noticeable performance improvement with 5 runs of hackbench on v3.17: Baseline | With Patch -----------------+----------- Mean 119.2312 | 106.1782 StdDev 0.4919 | 0.4494 (times taken to complete `./hackbench 100 process 1000', in seconds) Signed-off-by: NSteve Capper <steve.capper@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NWill Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

Some users of xchg() don't bother using the return value, which results in a compiler warning like the following (from kgdb): In file included from linux/arch/arm64/include/asm/atomic.h:27:0, from include/linux/atomic.h:4, from include/linux/spinlock.h:402, from include/linux/seqlock.h:35, from include/linux/time.h:5, from include/uapi/linux/timex.h:56, from include/linux/timex.h:56, from include/linux/sched.h:19, from include/linux/pid_namespace.h:4, from kernel/debug/debug_core.c:30: kernel/debug/debug_core.c: In function ‘kgdb_cpu_enter’: linux/arch/arm64/include/asm/cmpxchg.h:75:3: warning: value computed is not used [-Wunused-value] ((__typeof__(*(ptr)))__xchg((unsigned long)(x),(ptr),sizeof(*(ptr)))) ^ linux/arch/arm64/include/asm/atomic.h:132:30: note: in expansion of macro ‘xchg’ #define atomic_xchg(v, new) (xchg(&((v)->counter), new)) kernel/debug/debug_core.c:504:4: note: in expansion of macro ‘atomic_xchg’ atomic_xchg(&kgdb_active, cpu); ^ This patch makes use of the same trick as we do for cmpxchg, by assigning the return value to a dummy variable in the xchg() macro itself.

Linux requires a number of atomic operations to provide full barrier semantics, that is no memory accesses after the operation can be observed before any accesses up to and including the operation in program order. On arm64, these operations have been incorrectly implemented as follows: // A, B, C are independent memory locations <Access [A]> // atomic_op (B) 1: ldaxr x0, [B] // Exclusive load with acquire <op(B)> stlxr w1, x0, [B] // Exclusive store with release cbnz w1, 1b <Access [C]> The assumption here being that two half barriers are equivalent to a full barrier, so the only permitted ordering would be A -> B -> C (where B is the atomic operation involving both a load and a store). Unfortunately, this is not the case by the letter of the architecture and, in fact, the accesses to A and C are permitted to pass their nearest half barrier resulting in orderings such as Bl -> A -> C -> Bs or Bl -> C -> A -> Bs (where Bl is the load-acquire on B and Bs is the store-release on B). This is a clear violation of the full barrier requirement. The simple way to fix this is to implement the same algorithm as ARMv7 using explicit barriers: <Access [A]> // atomic_op (B) dmb ish // Full barrier 1: ldxr x0, [B] // Exclusive load <op(B)> stxr w1, x0, [B] // Exclusive store cbnz w1, 1b dmb ish // Full barrier <Access [C]> but this has the undesirable effect of introducing *two* full barrier instructions. A better approach is actually the following, non-intuitive sequence: <Access [A]> // atomic_op (B) 1: ldxr x0, [B] // Exclusive load <op(B)> stlxr w1, x0, [B] // Exclusive store with release cbnz w1, 1b dmb ish // Full barrier <Access [C]> The simple observations here are: - The dmb ensures that no subsequent accesses (e.g. the access to C) can enter or pass the atomic sequence. - The dmb also ensures that no prior accesses (e.g. the access to A) can pass the atomic sequence. - Therefore, no prior access can pass a subsequent access, or vice-versa (i.e. A is strictly ordered before C). - The stlxr ensures that no prior access can pass the store component of the atomic operation. The only tricky part remaining is the ordering between the ldxr and the access to A, since the absence of the first dmb means that we're now permitting re-ordering between the ldxr and any prior accesses. From an (arbitrary) observer's point of view, there are two scenarios: 1. We have observed the ldxr. This means that if we perform a store to [B], the ldxr will still return older data. If we can observe the ldxr, then we can potentially observe the permitted re-ordering with the access to A, which is clearly an issue when compared to the dmb variant of the code. Thankfully, the exclusive monitor will save us here since it will be cleared as a result of the store and the ldxr will retry. Notice that any use of a later memory observation to imply observation of the ldxr will also imply observation of the access to A, since the stlxr/dmb ensure strict ordering. 2. We have not observed the ldxr. This means we can perform a store and influence the later ldxr. However, that doesn't actually tell us anything about the access to [A], so we've not lost anything here either when compared to the dmb variant. This patch implements this solution for our barriered atomic operations, ensuring that we satisfy the full barrier requirements where they are needed.

Our uses of inline asm constraints for atomic operations are fairly wild and varied. We basically need to guarantee the following: 1. Any instructions with barrier implications (load-acquire/store-release) have a "memory" clobber 2. When performing exclusive accesses, the addresing mode is generated using the "Q" constraint 3. Atomic blocks which use the condition flags, have a "cc" clobber This patch addresses these concerns which, as well as fixing the semantics of the code, stops GCC complaining about impossible asm constraints.
