rtmutex: Warn if trylock is called from hard/softirq context
rt_mutex_trylock() must be called from thread context. It can be
called from atomic regions (preemption or interrupts disabled), but
not from hard/softirq/nmi context. Add a warning to alert abusers.
The reasons for this are:
1) There is a potential deadlock in the slowpath
2) Another cpu which blocks on the rtmutex will boost the task
which allegedly locked the rtmutex, but that cannot work
because the hard/softirq context borrows the task context.

locking/rtmutex: Drop usage of __HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG
The rtmutex code is the only user of __HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG and we have a few
other user of cmpxchg() which do not care about __HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG. This
define was first introduced in 23f78d4a0 ("[PATCH] pi-futex: rt mutex core")
which is v2.6.18. The generic cmpxchg was introduced later in 068fbad288
("Add cmpxchg_local to asm-generic for per cpu atomic operations") which is
v2.6.25.
Back then something was required to get rtmutex working with the fast
path on architectures without cmpxchg and this seems to be the result.
It popped up recently on rt-users because ARM (v6+) does not define
__HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG (even that it implements it) which results in slower
locking performance in the fast path.
To put some numbers on it: preempt -RT, am335x, 10 loops of
100000 invocations of rt_spin_lock() + rt_spin_unlock() (time "total" is
the average of the 10 loops for the 100000 invocations, "loop" is
"total / 100000 * 1000"):
cmpxchg | slowpath used || cmpxchg used
| total | loop || total | loop
--------|-----------|-------||------------|-------
ARMv6 | 9129.4 us | 91 ns || 3311.9 us | 33 ns
generic | 9360.2 us | 94 ns || 10834.6 us | 108 ns
----------------------------||--------------------
Forcing it to generic cmpxchg() made things worse for the slowpath and
even worse in cmpxchg() path. It boils down to 14ns more per lock+unlock
in a cache hot loop so it might not be that much in real world.
The last test was a substitute for pre ARMv6 machine but then I was able
to perform the comparison on imx28 which is ARMv5 and therefore is
always is using the generic cmpxchg implementation. And the numbers:
| total | loop
-------- |----------- |--------
slowpath | 263937.2 us | 2639 ns
cmpxchg | 16934.2 us | 169 ns
--------------------------------
The numbers are larger since the machine is slower in general. However,
letting rtmutex use cmpxchg() instead the slowpath seem to improve things.
Since from the ARM (tested on am335x + imx28) point of view always
using cmpxchg() in rt_mutex_lock() + rt_mutex_unlock() makes sense I
would drop the define.

We use a callee saved call for the unlock function which reduces the
i-cache footprint and allows 'inlining' of SPIN_UNLOCK functions
again.
We further optimize the unlock path by patching the direct call with a
"movb $0,%arg1" if we are indeed using the native unlock code. This
makes the unlock code almost as fast as the !PARAVIRT case.
This significantly lowers the overhead of having
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS enabled, even for native code.

locking/pvqspinlock: Implement simple paravirt support for the qspinlock

paravirt along with a special unlock path.
The second slowpath is generated by adding a few pv hooks to the
normal slowpath, but where those will compile away for the native
case, they expand into special wait/wake code for the pv version.
The actual MCS queue can use extra storage in the mcs_nodes[] array to
keep track of state and therefore uses directed wakeups.
The head contender has no such storage directly visible to the
unlocker. So the unlocker searches a hash table with open addressing
using a simple binary Galois linear feedback shift register.

locking/qspinlock: Use a simple write to grab the lock
Currently, atomic_cmpxchg() is used to get the lock. However, this
is not really necessary if there is more than one task in the queue
and the queue head don't need to reset the tail code. For that case,
a simple write to set the lock bit is enough as the queue head will
be the only one eligible to get the lock as long as it checks that
both the lock and pending bits are not set. The current pending bit
waiting code will ensure that the bit will not be set as soon as the
tail code in the lock is set.

When we allow for a max NR_CPUS < 2^14 we can optimize the pending
wait-acquire and the xchg_tail() operations.
By growing the pending bit to a byte, we reduce the tail to 16bit.
This means we can use xchg16 for the tail part and do away with all
the repeated compxchg() operations.
This in turn allows us to unconditionally acquire; the locked state
as observed by the wait loops cannot change. And because both locked
and pending are now a full byte we can use simple stores for the
state transition, obviating one atomic operation entirely.
This optimization is needed to make the qspinlock achieve performance
parity with ticket spinlock at light load.
All this is horribly broken on Alpha pre EV56 (and any other arch that
cannot do single-copy atomic byte stores).

Because the qspinlock needs to touch a second cacheline (the per-cpu
mcs_nodes[]); add a pending bit and allow a single in-word spinner
before we punt to the second cacheline.
It is possible so observe the pending bit without the locked bit when
the last owner has just released but the pending owner has not yet
taken ownership.
In this case we would normally queue -- because the pending bit is
already taken. However, in this case the pending bit is guaranteed
to be released 'soon', therefore wait for it and avoid queueing.

locking/qspinlock: Introduce a simple generic 4-byte queued spinlock
This patch introduces a new generic queued spinlock implementation that
can serve as an alternative to the default ticket spinlock. Compared
with the ticket spinlock, this queued spinlock should be almost as fair
as the ticket spinlock. It has about the same speed in single-thread
and it can be much faster in high contention situations especially when
the spinlock is embedded within the data structure to be protected.
Only in light to moderate contention where the average queue depth
is around 1-3 will this queued spinlock be potentially a bit slower
due to the higher slowpath overhead.
This queued spinlock is especially suit to NUMA machines with a large
number of cores as the chance of spinlock contention is much higher
in those machines. The cost of contention is also higher because of
slower inter-node memory traffic.
Due to the fact that spinlocks are acquired with preemption disabled,
the process will not be migrated to another CPU while it is trying
to get a spinlock. Ignoring interrupt handling, a CPU can only be
contending in one spinlock at any one time. Counting soft IRQ, hard
IRQ and NMI, a CPU can only have a maximum of 4 concurrent lock waiting
activities. By allocating a set of per-cpu queue nodes and used them
to form a waiting queue, we can encode the queue node address into a
much smaller 24-bit size (including CPU number and queue node index)
leaving one byte for the lock.
Please note that the queue node is only needed when waiting for the
lock. Once the lock is acquired, the queue node can be released to
be used later.

locking/rwsem: Reduce spinlock contention in wakeup after up_read()/up_write()
In up_write()/up_read(), rwsem_wake() will be called whenever it
detects that some writers/readers are waiting. The rwsem_wake()
function will take the wait_lock and call __rwsem_do_wake() to do the
real wakeup. For a heavily contended rwsem, doing a spin_lock() on
wait_lock will cause further contention on the heavily contended rwsem
cacheline resulting in delay in the completion of the up_read/up_write
operations.
This patch makes the wait_lock taking and the call to __rwsem_do_wake()
optional if at least one spinning writer is present. The spinning
writer will be able to take the rwsem and call rwsem_wake() later
when it calls up_write(). With the presence of a spinning writer,
rwsem_wake() will now try to acquire the lock using trylock. If that
fails, it will just quit.

pinctrl: Don't just pretend to protect pinctrl_maps, do it for real
Way back, when the world was a simpler place and there was no war, no
evil, and no kernel bugs, there was just a single pinctrl lock. That
was how the world was when (57291ce pinctrl: core device tree mapping
table parsing support) was written. In that case, there were
instances where the pinctrl mutex was already held when
pinctrl_register_map() was called, hence a "locked" parameter was
passed to the function to indicate that the mutex was already locked
(so we shouldn't lock it again).
A few years ago in (42fed7b pinctrl: move subsystem mutex to
pinctrl_dev struct), we switched to a separate pinctrl_maps_mutex.
...but (oops) we forgot to re-think about the whole "locked" parameter
for pinctrl_register_map(). Basically the "locked" parameter appears
to still refer to whether the bigger pinctrl_dev mutex is locked, but
we're using it to skip locks of our (now separate) pinctrl_maps_mutex.
That's kind of a bad thing(TM). Probably nobody noticed because most
of the calls to pinctrl_register_map happen at boot time and we've got
synchronous device probing. ...and even cases where we're
asynchronous don't end up actually hitting the race too often. ...but
after banging my head against the wall for a bug that reproduced 1 out
of 1000 reboots and lots of looking through kgdb, I finally noticed
this.
Anyway, we can now safely remove the "locked" parameter and go back to
a war-free, evil-free, and kernel-bug-free world.

x86/fpu: Always restore_xinit_state() when use_eager_cpu()
The following commit:
f893959b0898 ("x86/fpu: Don't abuse drop_init_fpu() in flush_thread()")
removed drop_init_fpu() usage from flush_thread(). This seems to break
things for me - the Go 1.4 test suite fails all over the place with
floating point comparision errors (offending commit found through
bisection).
The functional change was that flush_thread() after this commit
only calls restore_init_xstate() when both use_eager_fpu() and
!used_math() are true. drop_init_fpu() (now fpu_reset_state()) calls
restore_init_xstate() regardless of whether current used_math() - apply
the same logic here.
Switch used_math() -> tsk_used_math(tsk) to consistently use the grabbed
tsk instead of current, like in the rest of flush_thread().

mm/memory-failure: call shake_page() when error hits thp tail page
Currently memory_failure() calls shake_page() to sweep pages out from
pcplists only when the victim page is 4kB LRU page or thp head page.
But we should do this for a thp tail page too.
Consider that a memory error hits a thp tail page whose head page is on
a pcplist when memory_failure() runs. Then, the current kernel skips
shake_pages() part, so hwpoison_user_mappings() returns without calling
split_huge_page() nor try_to_unmap() because PageLRU of the thp head is
still cleared due to the skip of shake_page().
As a result, me_huge_page() runs for the thp, which is broken behavior.
One effect is a leak of the thp. And another is to fail to isolate the
memory error, so later access to the error address causes another MCE,
which kills the processes which used the thp.
This patch fixes this problem by calling shake_page() for thp tail case.

This can be easily achieved by adding x86_hyper_xen_hvm.set_cpu_features

xen/events: Clear cpu_evtchn_mask before resuming
When a guest is resumed, the hypervisor may change event channel
assignments. If this happens and the guest uses 2-level events it
is possible for the interrupt to be claimed by wrong VCPU since
cpu_evtchn_mask bits may be stale. This can happen even though
evtchn_2l_bind_to_cpu() attempts to clear old bits: irq_info that
is passed in is not necessarily the original one (from pre-migration
times) but instead is freshly allocated during resume and so any
information about which CPU the channel was bound to is lost.
Thus we should clear the mask during resume.
We also need to make sure that bits for xenstore and console channels
are set when these two subsystems are resumed. While rebind_evtchn_irq()
(which is invoked for both of them on a resume) calls irq_set_affinity(),
the latter will in fact postpone setting affinity until handling the
interrupt. But because cpu_evtchn_mask will have bits for these two
cleared we won't be able to take the interrupt.
With that in mind, we need to bind those two channels explicitly in
rebind_evtchn_irq(). We will keep irq_set_affinity() so that we have a
pass through generic irq affinity code later, in case something needs
to be updated there as well.
(Also replace cpumask_of(0) with cpumask_of(info->cpu) in
rebind_evtchn_irq(): it should be set to zero in preceding
xen_irq_info_evtchn_setup().)
