* locking/Documentation: Fix missed s/lock/acquire renamesSeongJae Park2016-04-131-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The terms 'lock'/'unlock' were changed to 'acquire'/'release' by the following commit: 2e4f5382d12a4 ("locking/doc: Rename LOCK/UNLOCK to ACQUIRE/RELEASE") However, the commit missed to change the table of contents - fix that. Also, the dumb rename changed the section name 'Locking functions' to an actively misleading 'Acquiring functions' section name. Rename it to 'Lock acquisition functions' instead.

* locking/Documentation: Clarify relationship of barrier() to control dependenciesPaul E. McKenney2016-04-131-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current documentation claims that the compiler ignores barrier(), which is not the case. Instead, the compiler carefully pays attention to barrier(), but in a creative way that still manages to destroy the control dependency. This commit sets the story straight.

* documentation: Transitivity is not cumulativityPaul E. McKenney2016-03-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | The "transitivity" section mentions cumulativity in a potentially confusing way. Contrary to the current wording, cumulativity is not transitivity, but rather a hardware discipline that can be used to implement transitivity on ARM and PowerPC CPUs. This commit therefore deletes the mention of cumulativity. Reported-by: Luc Maranget <luc.maranget@inria.fr> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Guests running within virtual machines might be affected by SMP effects even if the guest itself is compiled without SMP support. This is an artifact of interfacing with an SMP host while running an UP kernel. Using mandatory barriers for this use-case would be possible but is often suboptimal. In particular, virtio uses a bunch of confusing ifdefs to work around this, while xen just uses the mandatory barriers. To better handle this case, low-level virt_mb() etc macros are made available. These are implemented trivially using the low-level __smp_xxx macros, the purpose of these wrappers is to annotate those specific cases. These have the same effect as smp_mb() etc when SMP is enabled, but generate identical code for SMP and non-SMP systems. For example, virtual machine guests should use virt_mb() rather than smp_mb() when synchronizing against a (possibly SMP) host.

* atomic: remove all traces of READ_ONCE_CTRL() and atomic*_read_ctrl()Linus Torvalds2015-11-041-32/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This seems to be a mis-reading of how alpha memory ordering works, and is not backed up by the alpha architecture manual. The helper functions don't do anything special on any other architectures, and the arguments that support them being safe on other architectures also argue that they are safe on alpha. Basically, the "control dependency" is between a previous read and a subsequent write that is dependent on the value read. Even if the subsequent write is actually done speculatively, there is no way that such a speculative write could be made visible to other cpu's until it has been committed, which requires validating the speculation. Note that most weakely ordered architectures (very much including alpha) do not guarantee any ordering relationship between two loads that depend on each other on a control dependency: read A if (val == 1) read B because the conditional may be predicted, and the "read B" may be speculatively moved up to before reading the value A. So we require the user to insert a smp_rmb() between the two accesses to be correct: read A; if (A == 1) smp_rmb() read B Alpha is further special in that it can break that ordering even if the *address* of B depends on the read of A, because the cacheline that is read later may be stale unless you have a memory barrier in between the pointer read and the read of the value behind a pointer: read ptr read offset(ptr) whereas all other weakly ordered architectures guarantee that the data dependency (as opposed to just a control dependency) will order the two accesses. As a result, alpha needs a "smp_read_barrier_depends()" in between those two reads for them to be ordered. The coontrol dependency that "READ_ONCE_CTRL()" and "atomic_read_ctrl()" had was a control dependency to a subsequent *write*, however, and nobody can finalize such a subsequent write without having actually done the read. And were you to write such a value to a "stale" cacheline (the way the unordered reads came to be), that would seem to lose the write entirely. So the things that make alpha able to re-order reads even more aggressively than other weak architectures do not seem to be relevant for a subsequent write. Alpha memory ordering may be strange, but there's no real indication that it is *that* strange. Also, the alpha architecture reference manual very explicitly talks about the definition of "Dependence Constraints" in section 5.6.1.7, where a preceding read dominates a subsequent write. Such a dependence constraint admittedly does not impose a BEFORE (alpha architecture term for globally visible ordering), but it does guarantee that there can be no "causal loop". I don't see how you could avoid such a loop if another cpu could see the stored value and then impact the value of the first read. Put another way: the read and the write could not be seen as being out of order wrt other cpus. So I do not see how these "x_ctrl()" functions can currently be necessary. I may have to eat my words at some point, but in the absense of clear proof that alpha actually needs this, or indeed even an explanation of how alpha could _possibly_ need it, I do not believe these functions are called for. And if it turns out that alpha really _does_ need a barrier for this case, that barrier still should not be "smp_read_barrier_depends()". We'd have to make up some new speciality barrier just for alpha, along with the documentation for why it really is necessary.

| | * smp: Make control dependencies work on Alpha, improve documentationPaul E. McKenney2015-05-271-22/+33
| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current formulation of control dependencies fails on DEC Alpha, which does not respect dependencies of any kind unless an explicit memory barrier is provided. This means that the current fomulation of control dependencies fails on Alpha. This commit therefore creates a READ_ONCE_CTRL() that has the same overhead on non-Alpha systems, but causes Alpha to produce the needed ordering. This commit also applies READ_ONCE_CTRL() to the one known use of control dependencies. Use of READ_ONCE_CTRL() also has the beneficial effect of adding a bit of self-documentation to control dependencies. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our current documentation claims that, when followed by an ACQUIRE, smp_mb__before_spinlock() orders prior loads against subsequent loads and stores, which isn't the intent. This commit therefore fixes the documentation to state that this sequence orders only prior stores against subsequent loads and stores. In addition, the original intent of smp_mb__before_spinlock() was to only order prior loads against subsequent stores, however, people have started using it as if it ordered prior loads against subsequent loads and stores. This commit therefore also updates smp_mb__before_spinlock()'s header comment to reflect this new reality. Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: "Paul E.

* arch: Add lightweight memory barriers dma_rmb() and dma_wmb()Alexander Duyck2014-12-121-0/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a number of situations where the mandatory barriers rmb() and wmb() are used to order memory/memory operations in the device drivers and those barriers are much heavier than they actually need to be. For example in the case of PowerPC wmb() calls the heavy-weight sync instruction when for coherent memory operations all that is really needed is an lsync or eieio instruction. This commit adds a coherent only version of the mandatory memory barriers rmb() and wmb(). In most cases this should result in the barrier being the same as the SMP barriers for the SMP case, however in some cases we use a barrier that is somewhere in between rmb() and smp_rmb(). For example on ARM the rmb barriers break down as follows: Barrier Call Explanation --------- -------- ---------------------------------- rmb() dsb() Data synchronization barrier - system dma_rmb() dmb(osh) data memory barrier - outer sharable smp_rmb() dmb(ish) data memory barrier - inner sharable These new barriers are not as safe as the standard rmb() and wmb(). Specifically they do not guarantee ordering between coherent and incoherent memories. The primary use case for these would be to enforce ordering of reads and writes when accessing coherent memory that is shared between the CPU and a device. It may also be noted that there is no dma_mb(). Most architectures don't provide a good mechanism for performing a coherent only full barrier without resorting to the same mechanism used in mb(). As such there isn't much to be gained in trying to define such a function.

But the first example without barriers reads as A=3 READ A B=4 READ B There are 4 outcomes in the first example. But if someone new to the concept tries to insert barriers like this: A=3 READ A www rrrrrr B=4 READ B he will still get all 4 possible outcomes, because "READ A" is first.
