The generated atomic headers are only intended to be included directly
by <linux/atomic.h>, but are spread across include/linux/ and
include/asm-generic/, where people mnay be encouraged to include them.
This patch centralizes them under include/linux/atomic/.
Other than the header guards and hashes, there is no change to any of
the generated headers as a result of this patch.

Prefer __always_inline for atomic wrappers. When building for size
(CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE), some compilers appear to be less inclined to
inline even relatively small static inline functions that are assumed to
be inlinable such as atomic ops. This can cause problems, for example in
UACCESS regions.
By using __always_inline, we let the real implementation and not the
wrapper determine the final inlining preference.
For x86 tinyconfig we observe:
- vmlinux baseline: 1316204
- vmlinux with patch: 1315988 (-216 bytes)
This came up when addressing UACCESS warnings with CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE
in the KCSAN runtime:

We currently check the atomic headers at build-time to ensure they
haven't been modified directly, and these checks require regenerating
the headers in full. As this takes a few seconds, even when
parallelized, this is too slow to run for every kernel build.
Instead, we can generate a hash of each header as we generate them,
which we can cheaply check at build time (~0.16s for all headers).
This patch does so, updating headers with their hashes using the new
gen-atomics.sh script. As some users apparently build the kernel wihout
coreutils, lacking sha1sum, the checks are skipped in this case.
Presumably, most developers have a working coreutils installation.

As a step towards ensuring the atomic* APIs are consistent, let's switch
to wrappers generated by gen-atomic-long.h, using the same table that
gen-atomic-fallbacks.h uses to fill in gaps in the atomic_* and
atomic64_* APIs.
These are checked in rather than generated with Kbuild, since:
* This allows inspection of the atomics with git grep and ctags on a
pristine tree, which Linus strongly prefers being able to do.
* The fallbacks are not affected by machine details or configuration
options, so it is not necessary to regenerate them to take these into
account.
* These are included by files required *very* early in the build process
(e.g. for generating bounds.h), and we'd rather not complicate the
top-level Kbuild file with dependencies.
Other than *_INIT() and *_cond_read_acquire(), all API functions are
implemented as static inline C functions, ensuring consistent type
promotion and/or truncation without requiring explicit casts to be
applied to parameters or return values.
Since we typedef atomic_long_t to either atomic_t or atomic64_t, we know
these types are equivalent, and don't require explicit casts between
them. However, as the try_cmpxchg*() functions take a pointer for the
'old' parameter, which may be an int or s64, an explicit cast is
generated for this.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch (i.e.
existing code should not be affected). However, this introduces a number
of functions into the atomic_long_* API, bringing it into line with the
atomic_* and atomic64_* APIs.

And add the (missing) atomic_long_try_cmpxchg*() wrappery.

atomic_cond_read_relaxed()
Whilst we currently provide smp_cond_load_acquire() and
atomic_cond_read_acquire(), there are cases where the ACQUIRE semantics are
not required because of a subsequent fence or release operation once the
conditional loop has exited.
This patch adds relaxed versions of the conditional spinning primitives
to avoid unnecessary barrier overhead on architectures such as arm64.

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.

smp_cond_load_acquire() provides a way to spin on a variable with acquire
semantics until some conditional expression involving the variable is
satisfied. Architectures such as arm64 can potentially enter a low-power
state, waking up only when the value of the variable changes, which
reduces the system impact of tight polling loops.
This patch makes the same interface available to users of atomic_t,
atomic64_t and atomic_long_t, rather than require messy accesses to the
structure internals.

With the inclusion of atomic FETCH-OP variants, many places in the
kernel can make use of atomic_fetch_$op() to avoid the callers that
need to compute the value/state _before_ the operation.
Peter Zijlstra laid out the machinery but we are still missing the
simpler dec,inc() calls (which future patches will make use of).
This patch only deals with the generic code, as at least right now
no arch actually implement them -- which is similar to what the
OP-RETURN primitives currently do.

Sometimes gcc mysteriously doesn't inline
very small functions we expect to be inlined. See
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66122
With this .config:
http://busybox.net/~vda/kernel_config_OPTIMIZE_INLINING_and_Os,
atomic_long_inc(), atomic_long_dec() and atomic_long_add()
functions get deinlined about 40 times. Examples of disassembly:
<atomic_long_inc> (21 copies, 147 calls):
55 push %rbp

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.

atomics
Similar to what we have for regular add/sub calls. For now, no actual arch
implements them, so everyone falls back to the default atomics... iow,
nothing changes. These will be used in future primitives.

Provide atomic_read_ctrl() to mirror READ_ONCE_CTRL(), such that we can
more conveniently use atomics in control dependencies.
Since we can assume atomic_read() implies a READ_ONCE(), we must only
emit an extra smp_read_barrier_depends() in order to upgrade to
READ_ONCE_CTRL() semantics.

The existing asm-generic/atomic.h only defines the
atomic_long type. This renames it to atomic-long.h
so we have a place to add a truly generic atomic.h
that can be used on all non-SMP systems.
