Pull WW mutex support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds support for wound/wait style locks, which the graphics
guys would like to make use of in the TTM graphics subsystem.
Wound/wait mutexes are used when other multiple lock acquisitions of a
similar type can be done in an arbitrary order. The deadlock handling
used here is called wait/wound in the RDBMS literature: The older
tasks waits until it can acquire the contended lock. The younger
tasks needs to back off and drop all the locks it is currently
holding, ie the younger task is wounded.
See this LWN.net description of W/W mutexes:
https://lwn.net/Articles/548909/
The comments there outline specific usecases for this facility (which
have already been implemented for the DRM tree).
Also see Documentation/ww-mutex-design.txt for more details"

None of the ww_mutex codepaths should be taken in the 'normal'

Injects EDEADLK conditions at pseudo-random interval, with
exponential backoff up to UINT_MAX (to ensure that every lock
operation still completes in a reasonable time).
This way we can test the wound slowpath even for ww mutex users
where contention is never expected, and the ww deadlock
avoidance algorithm is only needed for correctness against
malicious userspace. An example would be protecting kernel
modesetting properties, which thanks to single-threaded X isn't
really expected to contend, ever.
I've looked into using the CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION
infrastructure, but decided against it for two reasons:
- EDEADLK handling is mandatory for ww mutex users and should
never affect the outcome of a syscall. This is in contrast to -ENOMEM
injection. So fine configurability isn't required.
- The fault injection framework only allows to set a simple
probability for failure. Now the probability that a ww mutex acquire
stage with N locks will never complete (due to too many injected
EDEADLK backoffs) is zero. But the expected number of ww_mutex_lock
operations for the completely uncontended case would be O(exp(N)).
The per-acuiqire ctx exponential backoff solution choosen here only
results in O(log N) overhead due to injection and so O(log N * N)
lock operations. This way we can fail with high probability (and so
have good test coverage even for fancy backoff and lock acquisition
paths) without running into patalogical cases.
Note that EDEADLK will only ever be injected when we managed to
acquire the lock. This prevents any behaviour changes for users
which rely on the EALREADY semantics.

When building a kernel using 'make -s', I expect to see an empty output,
except for build warnings and errors. The build_OID_registry code
always prints one line when run, which is not helpful to most people
building the kernels, and which makes it harder to automatically
check for build warnings.
Let's just remove the one line output.

Unlike kobject_set_name(), the kset_create_and_add() interface does not
provide a way to use format strings, so make sure that the interface
cannot be abused accidentally. It looks like all current callers use
static strings, so there's no existing flaw.

The umul_ppmm() macro for parisc uses the xmpyu assembler statement
which does calculation via a floating point register.
But usage of floating point registers inside the Linux kernel are not
allowed and gcc will stop compilation due to the -mdisable-fpregs
compiler option.
Fix this by disabling the umul_ppmm() and udiv_qrnnd() macros. The
mpilib will then use the generic built-in implementations instead.

There is a race between klist_remove and klist_release. klist_remove
uses a local var waiter saved on stack. When klist_release calls
wake_up_process(waiter->process) to wake up the waiter, waiter might run
immediately and reuse the stack. Then, klist_release calls
list_del(&waiter->list) to change previous
wait data and cause prior waiter thread corrupt.
The patch fixes it against kernel 3.9.

That function is only present with CONFIG_NET. Turns out that

In addition, commit 6d4f0139d642c45411a47879325891ce2a7c164a added
CONFIG_NET dependency to CONFIG_VMCI for memcpy_toiovec, so hoist

This patch tries to reduce the amount of cmpxchg calls in the writer
failed path by checking the counter value first before issuing the
instruction. If ->count is not set to RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS then there is
no point wasting a cmpxchg call.
Furthermore, Michel states "I suppose it helps due to the case where
someone else steals the lock while we're trying to acquire
sem->wait_lock."
Two very different workloads and machines were used to see how this
patch improves throughput: pgbench on a quad-core laptop and aim7 on a
large 8 socket box with 80 cores.
Some results comparing Michel's fast-path write lock stealing

"These patches extend Alex Shi's work (which added write lock stealing

I have unfortunately been unable to push this through -next before due

This change fixes a race condition where a reader might determine it
needs to block, but by the time it acquires the wait_lock the rwsem has
active readers and no queued waiters.
In this situation the reader can run in parallel with the existing
active readers; it does not need to block until the active readers
complete.
Thanks to Peter Hurley for noticing this possible race.

When we decide to wake up readers, we must first grant them as many read
locks as necessary, and then actually wake up all these readers. But in
order to know how many read shares to grant, we must first count the
readers at the head of the queue. This might take a while if there are
many readers, and we want to be protected against a writer stealing the
lock while we're counting. To that end, we grant the first reader lock
before counting how many more readers are queued.
We also require some adjustments to the wake_type semantics.
RWSEM_WAKE_NO_ACTIVE used to mean that we had found the count to be
RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS, in which case the rwsem was known to be free as
nobody could steal it while we hold the wait_lock. This doesn't make
sense once we implement fastpath write lock stealing, so we now use
RWSEM_WAKE_ANY in that case.
Similarly, when rwsem_down_write_failed found that a read lock was
active, it would use RWSEM_WAKE_READ_OWNED which signalled that new
readers could be woken without checking first that the rwsem was
available. We can't do that anymore since the existing readers might
release their read locks, and a writer could steal the lock before we
wake up additional readers. So, we have to use a new RWSEM_WAKE_READERS
value to indicate we only want to wake readers, but we don't currently
hold any read lock.

This is mostly for cleanup value:
- We don't need several gotos to handle the case where the first
waiter is a writer. Two simple tests will do (and generate very
similar code).
- In the remainder of the function, we know the first waiter is a reader,
so we don't have to double check that. We can use do..while loops
to iterate over the readers to wake (generates slightly better code).

Some small code simplifications can be achieved by doing more agressive
lock stealing:
- When rwsem_down_write_failed() notices that there are no active locks
(and thus no thread to wake us if we decided to sleep), it used to wake
the first queued process. However, stealing the lock is also sufficient
to deal with this case, so we don't need this check anymore.
- In try_get_writer_sem(), we can steal the lock even when the first waiter
is a reader. This is correct because the code path that wakes readers is
protected by the wait_lock. As to the performance effects of this change,
they are expected to be minimal: readers are still granted the lock
(rather than having to acquire it themselves) when they reach the front
of the wait queue, so we have essentially the same behavior as in
rwsem-spinlock.

When waking writers, we never grant them the lock - instead, they have
to acquire it themselves when they run, and remove themselves from the
wait_list when they succeed.
As a result, we can do a few simplifications in rwsem_down_write_failed():
- We don't need to check for !waiter.task since __rwsem_do_wake() doesn't
remove writers from the wait_list
- There is no point releaseing the wait_lock before entering the wait loop,
as we will need to reacquire it immediately. We can change the loop so
that the lock is always held at the start of each loop iteration.
- We don't need to get a reference on the task structure, since the task
is responsible for removing itself from the wait_list. There is no risk,
like in the rwsem_down_read_failed() case, that a task would wake up and
exit (thus destroying its task structure) while __rwsem_do_wake() is
still running - wait_lock protects against that.

When trying to acquire a read lock, the RWSEM_ACTIVE_READ_BIAS
adjustment doesn't cause other readers to block, so we never have to
worry about waking them back after canceling this adjustment in
rwsem_down_read_failed().
We also never want to steal the lock in rwsem_down_read_failed(), so we
don't have to grab the wait_lock either.

This change reduces the size of the spinlocked and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
sections in rwsem_down_failed_common():
- We only need the sem->wait_lock to insert ourselves on the wait_list;
the waiter node can be prepared outside of the wait_lock.
- The task state only needs to be set to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE immediately
before checking if we actually need to sleep; it doesn't need to protect
the entire function.

The help text for this config is duplicated across the x86, parisc, and
s390 Kconfig.debug files. Arnd Bergman noted that the help text was
slightly misleading and should be fixed to state that enabling this
option isn't a problem when using pre 4.4 gcc.
To simplify the rewording, consolidate the text into lib/Kconfig.debug
and modify it there to be more explicit about when you should say N to
this config.
Also, make the text a bit more generic by stating that this option
enables compile time checks so we can cover architectures which emit
warnings vs. ones which emit errors. The details of how an
architecture decided to implement the checks isn't as important as the
concept of compile time checking of copy_from_user() calls.
While we're doing this, remove all the copy_from_user_overflow() code
that's duplicated many times and place it into lib/ so that any
architecture supporting this option can get the function for free.
