2020-05-19lockdep: Prepare for noinstr sectionsPeter Zijlstra1-1/+1
Force inlining and prevent instrumentation of all sorts by marking the functions which are invoked from low level entry code with 'noinstr'. Split the irqflags tracking into two parts. One which does the heavy lifting while RCU is watching and the final one which can be invoked after RCU is turned off.

2018-10-19locking/lockdep: Make global debug_locks* variables read-mostlyWaiman Long1-2/+2
Make the frequently used lockdep global variable debug_locks read-mostly. As debug_locks_silent is sometime used together with debug_locks, it is also made read-mostly so that they can be close together. With false cacheline sharing, cacheline contention problem can happen depending on what get put into the same cacheline as debug_locks.

2018-10-19locking/lockdep: Fix debug_locks off performance problemWaiman Long1-1/+1
It was found that when debug_locks was turned off because of a problem found by the lockdep code, the system performance could drop quite significantly when the lock_stat code was also configured into the kernel. For instance, parallel kernel build time on a 4-socket x86-64 server nearly doubled. Further analysis into the cause of the slowdown traced back to the frequent call to debug_locks_off() from the __lock_acquired() function probably due to some inconsistent lockdep states with debug_locks off. The debug_locks_off() function did an unconditional atomic xchg to write a 0 value into debug_locks which had already been set to 0. This led to severe cacheline contention in the cacheline that held debug_locks. As debug_locks is being referenced in quite a few different places in the kernel, this greatly slow down the system performance. To prevent that trashing of debug_locks cacheline, lock_acquired() and lock_contended() now checks the state of debug_locks before proceeding. The debug_locks_off() function is also modified to check debug_locks before calling __debug_locks_off().

2013-06-26mutex: Add support for wound/wait style locksMaarten Lankhorst1-0/+2
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, i.e. the younger task is wounded. For full documentation please read Documentation/ww-mutex-design.txt.

2012-03-08lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possiblePaul Gortmaker1-1/+1
For files only using THIS_MODULE and/or EXPORT_SYMBOL, map them onto including export.h -- or if the file isn't even using those, then just delete the include. Fix up any implicit include dependencies that were being masked by module.h along the way. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
2010-11-30Revert "debug_locks: set oops_in_progress if we will log messages."Dave Airlie1-2/+0
This reverts commit e0fdace10e75dac67d906213b780ff1b1a4cc360. On-list discussion seems to suggest that the robustness fixes for printk make this unnecessary and DaveM has also agreed in person at Kernel Summit and on list. The main problem with this code is once we hit a lockdep splat we always keep oops_in_progress set, the console layer uses oops_in_progress with KMS to decide when it should be showing the oops and not showing X, so it causes problems around suspend/resume time when a userspace resume can cause a console switch away from X, only if oops_in_progress is set (which is what we want if an oops actually is in progress, but not because we had a lockdep splat 2 days prior).

2010-02-25rcu: Introduce lockdep-based checking to RCU read-side primitivesPaul E. McKenney1-0/+1
Inspection is proving insufficient to catch all RCU misuses, which is understandable given that rcu_dereference() might be protected by any of four different flavors of RCU (RCU, RCU-bh, RCU-sched, and SRCU), and might also/instead be protected by any of a number of locking primitives. It is therefore time to enlist the aid of lockdep. This set of patches is inspired by earlier work by Peter Zijlstra and Thomas Gleixner, and takes the following approach: o Set up separate lockdep classes for RCU, RCU-bh, and RCU-sched. o Set up separate lockdep classes for each instance of SRCU. o Create primitives that check for being in an RCU read-side critical section. These return exact answers if lockdep is fully enabled, but if unsure, report being in an RCU read-side critical section. (We want to avoid false positives!) The primitives are: For RCU: rcu_read_lock_held(void) For RCU-bh: rcu_read_lock_bh_held(void) For RCU-sched: rcu_read_lock_sched_held(void) For SRCU: srcu_read_lock_held(struct srcu_struct *sp) o Add rcu_dereference_check(), which takes a second argument in which one places a boolean expression based on the above primitives and/or lockdep_is_held(). o A new kernel configuration parameter, CONFIG_PROVE_RCU, enables rcu_dereference_check(). This depends on CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING, and should be quite helpful during the transition period while CONFIG_PROVE_RCU-unaware patches are in flight. The existing rcu_dereference() primitive does no checking, but upcoming patches will change that. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2009-04-12lockdep: warn about lockdep disabling after kernel taintFrederic Weisbecker1-1/+1
Impact: provide useful missing info for developers Kernel taint can occur in several situations such as warnings, load of prorietary or staging modules, bad page, etc... But when such taint happens, a developer might still be working on the kernel, expecting that lockdep is still enabled. But a taint disables lockdep without ever warning about it. Such a kernel behaviour doesn't really help for kernel development. This patch adds this missing warning. Since the taint is done most of the time after the main message that explain the real source issue, it seems safe to warn about it inside add_taint() so that it appears at last, without hurting the main information. v2: Use a generic helper to disable lockdep instead of an open coded xchg().

2006-07-04[PATCH] lockdep: better lock debuggingIngo Molnar1-0/+45
Generic lock debugging: - generalized lock debugging framework. For example, a bug in one lock subsystem turns off debugging in all lock subsystems. - got rid of the caller address passing (__IP__/__IP_DECL__/etc.) from the mutex/rtmutex debugging code: it caused way too much prototype hackery, and lockdep will give the same information anyway. - ability to do silent tests - check lock freeing in vfree too. - more finegrained debugging options, to allow distributions to turn off more expensive debugging features. There's no separate 'held mutexes' list anymore - but there's a 'held locks' stack within lockdep, which unifies deadlock detection across all lock classes. (this is independent of the lockdep validation stuff - lockdep first checks whether we are holding a lock already) Here are the current debugging options: CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y which do: config DEBUG_MUTEXES bool "Mutex debugging, basic checks" config DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC bool "Detect incorrect freeing of live mutexes" Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
