Recent probing at the Linux Kernel Memory Model uncovered a
'surprise'. Strongly ordered architectures where the atomic RmW
primitive implies full memory ordering and
smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic() are a simple barrier() (such as MIPS
without WEAK_REORDERING_BEYOND_LLSC) fail for:
*x = 1;
atomic_inc(u);
smp_mb__after_atomic();
r0 = *y;
Because, while the atomic_inc() implies memory order, it
(surprisingly) does not provide a compiler barrier. This then allows
the compiler to re-order like so:
atomic_inc(u);
*x = 1;
smp_mb__after_atomic();
r0 = *y;
Which the CPU is then allowed to re-order (under TSO rules) like:
atomic_inc(u);
r0 = *y;
*x = 1;
And this very much was not intended. Therefore strengthen the atomic
RmW ops to include a compiler barrier.

The comment describing the loongson_llsc_mb() reorder case doesn't
make any sense what so ever. Instruction re-ordering is not an SMP
artifact, but rather a CPU local phenomenon. Clarify the comment by
explaining that these issue cause a coherence fail.
For the branch speculation case; if futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic()
needs one at the bne branch target, then surely the normal
__cmpxch_asm() implementation does too. We cannot rely on the
barriers from cmpxchg() because cmpxchg_local() is implemented with
the same macro, and branch prediction and speculation are, too, CPU
local.

Commit 46011e6ea3 ("MIPS: Make set_pte() SMP safe.") introduced an
open-coded version of cmpxchg() within set_pte(), that always operated
on a value the size of an unsigned long. That is, it used ll/sc
instructions when CONFIG_32BIT=y or lld/scd instructions when
CONFIG_64BIT=y.
This was broken for configurations in which pte_t is larger than an
unsigned long (with the exception of XPA configurations which have a
different implementation of set_pte()), because we no longer update the
whole PTE. Indeed commit 46011e6ea3 ("MIPS: Make set_pte() SMP safe.")
notes:
> The case of CONFIG_64BIT_PHYS_ADDR && CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32 is *not*
> handled.
In practice this affects Netlogic XLR/XLS systems including
nlm_xlr_defconfig.
Commit 82f4f66ddf ("MIPS: Remove open-coded cmpxchg() in set_pte()")
then replaced this open-coded version of cmpxchg() with an actual call
to cmpxchg(). Unfortunately the configurations mentioned above then fail
to build because cmpxchg() can only operate on values 32 bits or smaller
in size, resulting in:
arch/mips/include/asm/cmpxchg.h:166:11: error:
call to '__cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer' declared with
attribute error: Bad argument size for cmpxchg
One option that would fix the build failure & restore the previous
behaviour would be to cast the pte pointer to a pointer to unsigned
long, so that cmpxchg() would operate on just 32 bits of the PTE as it
has been since commit 46011e6ea3 ("MIPS: Make set_pte() SMP safe.").
That feels like an ugly hack though, and the behaviour of set_pte() is
likely a little broken.
Instead we take advantage of the fact that the affected configurations
already know at compile time that the CPU will support 64 bits (ie. have
hardcoded cpu_has_64bits in cpu-feature-overrides.h) in order to allow
cmpxchg64() to be used in these configurations. set_pte() then makes use
of cmpxchg64() when necessary.

We currently have 2 commonly used methods for switching ISA within
assembly code, then restoring the original ISA.
1) Using a pair of .set push & .set pop directives. For example:
.set push
.set mips32r2
<some_insn>
.set pop
2) Using .set mips0 to restore the ISA originally specified on the
command line. For example:
.set mips32r2
<some_insn>
.set mips0
Unfortunately method 2 does not work with nanoMIPS toolchains, where the
assembler rejects the .set mips0 directive like so:
Error: cannot change ISA from nanoMIPS to mips0
In preparation for supporting nanoMIPS builds, switch all instances of
method 2 in generic non-platform-specific code to use push & pop as in
method 1 instead. The .set push & .set pop is arguably cleaner anyway,
and if nothing else it's good to consistently use one method.

Commit 8263db4d77 ("MIPS: cmpxchg: Implement __cmpxchg() as a
function") refactored our implementation of __cmpxchg() to be a function
rather than a macro, with the aim of making it easier to read & modify.
Unfortunately the commit breaks use of cmpxchg() for signed 32 bit
values when we have a 64 bit kernel with kernel_uses_llsc == false,
because:
- In cmpxchg_local() we cast the old value to the type the pointer
points to, and then to an unsigned long. If the pointer points to a
signed type smaller than 64 bits then the old value will be sign
extended to 64 bits. That is, bits beyond the size of the pointed to
type will be set to 1 if the old value is negative. In the case of a
signed 32 bit integer with a negative value, bits 63:32 will all be
set.
- In __cmpxchg_asm() we load the value from memory, ie. dereference the
pointer, and store the value as an unsigned integer (__ret) whose
size matches the pointer. For a 32 bit cmpxchg() this means we store
the value in a u32, because the pointer provided to __cmpxchg_asm()
by __cmpxchg() is of type volatile u32 *.
- __cmpxchg_asm() then checks whether the value in memory (__ret)
matches the provided old value, by comparing the two values. This
results in the u32 being promoted to a 64 bit unsigned long to match
the old argument - however because both types are unsigned the value
is zero extended, which does not match the sign extension performed
on the old value in cmpxchg_local() earlier.
This mismatch means that unfortunate cmpxchg() calls can incorrectly
fail for 64 bit kernels with kernel_uses_llsc == false. This is the case
on at least non-SMP Cavium Octeon kernels, which hardcode
kernel_uses_llsc in their cpu-feature-overrides.h header. Using a
v4.13-rc7 kernel configured using cavium_octeon_defconfig with SMP
manually disabled, this presents itself as oddity when we reach
userland - for example:
can't run '/bin/mount': Text file busy
can't run '/bin/mkdir': Text file busy
can't run '/bin/mkdir': Text file busy
can't run '/bin/mount': Text file busy
can't run '/bin/hostname': Text file busy
can't run '/etc/init.d/rcS': Text file busy
can't run '/sbin/getty': Text file busy
can't run '/sbin/getty': Text file busy
It appears that some part of the init process, which is in this case
buildroot's busybox init, is running successfully. It never manages to
reach the login prompt though, and complains about /sbin/getty being
busy repeatedly and indefinitely.
Fix this by casting the old value provided to __cmpxchg_asm() to an
appropriately sized unsigned integer, such that we consistently
zero-extend avoiding the mismatch. The __cmpxchg_small() case for 8 & 16
bit values is unaffected because __cmpxchg_small() already masks
provided values appropriately.

This patch therefore removes them, by:
- Moving memory barriers out of them & into xchg(), which also removes
the duplication & readies us to support xchg_relaxed() if we wish to.
- Calling __xchg_asm() directly from __xchg().
- Performing the check for CONFIG_64BIT being enabled in the size=8

xchg() has up until now simply returned the x parameter in cases where
it is called with a pointer to a value of an unsupported size. This will
often cause the calling code to hit a failure path, presuming that the
value of x differs from the content of the memory pointed at by ptr, but
we can do better by producing a compile-time or link-time error such
that unsupported calls to xchg() are detectable earlier than runtime.
This patch does this in the same was as is already done for cmpxchg(),
using a call to a missing function annotated with __compiletime_error().

Our cmpxchg() implementation relies upon generating a call to a function
which doesn't really exist (__cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer) to create
a link failure in cases where cmpxchg() is called with a pointer to a
value of an unsupported size.
The __compiletime_error macro can be used to decorate a function such
that a call to it generates a compile-time, rather than a link-time,
error. This patch uses __compiletime_error to cause bad cmpxchg() calls
to error out at compile time rather than link time, allowing errors to
occur more quickly & making it easier to spot where the problem comes
from.

Prior to this patch the xchg & cmpxchg functions have duplicated code
which is for all intents & purposes identical apart from use of a
branch-likely instruction in the R10000_LLSC_WAR case & a regular branch
instruction in the non-R10000_LLSC_WAR case.
This patch removes the duplication, declaring a __scbeqz macro to select
the branch instruction suitable for use when checking the result of an
sc instruction & making use of it to unify the 2 cases.
In __xchg_u{32,64}() this means writing the branch in asm, where it was
previously being done in C as a do...while loop for the
non-R10000_LLSC_WAR case. As this is a single instruction, and adds
consistency with the R10000_LLSC_WAR cases & the cmpxchg() code, this
seems worthwhile.

In the microMIPS encoding some memory access instructions have their
immediate offset reduced to 12 bits only. That does not match the GCC
`R' constraint we use in some places to satisfy the requirement,
resulting in build failures like this:
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:720: Error: macro used $at after ".set noat"
{standard input}:720: Warning: macro instruction expanded into multiple instructions
Fix the problem by defining a macro, `GCC_OFF12_ASM', that expands to
the right constraint depending on whether microMIPS or standard MIPS
code is produced. Also apply the fix to where `m' is used as in the
worst case this change does nothing, e.g. where the pointer was already
in a register such as a function argument and no further offset was
requested, and in the best case it avoids an extraneous sequence of up
to two instructions to load the high 20 bits of the address in the LL/SC
loop. This reduces the risk of lock contention that is the higher the
more instructions there are in the critical section between LL and SC.
Strictly speaking we could just bulk-replace `R' with `ZC' as the latter
constraint adjusts automatically depending on the ISA selected.
However it was only introduced with GCC 4.9 and we keep supporing older
compilers for the standard MIPS configuration, hence the slightly more
complicated approach I chose.
The choice of a zero-argument function-like rather than an object-like
macro was made so that it does not look like a function call taking the
C expression used for the constraint as an argument. This is so as not
to confuse the reader or formatting checkers like `checkpatch.pl' and
follows previous practice.

It was a nice optimization - on paper at least. In practice it results in
branches that may exceed the maximum legal range for a branch. We can
fight that problem with -ffunction-sections but -ffunction-sections again
is incompatible with -pg used by the function tracer.
By rewriting the loop around all simple LL/SC blocks to C we reduce the
amount of inline assembler and at the same time allow GCC to often fill
the branch delay slots with something sensible or whatever else clever
optimization it may have up in its sleeve.
With this optimization gone we also no longer need -ffunction-sections,
so drop it.
This optimization was originally introduced in 2.6.21, commit
5999eca25c1fd4b9b9aca7833b04d10fe4bc877d (linux-mips.org) rsp.
f65e4fa8e0 (kernel.org).
Original fix for the issues which caused me to pull this optimization by
Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>.

Replace some instances of smp_llsc_mb() with a new macro
smp_mb__before_llsc(). It is used before ll/sc sequences that are
documented as needing write barrier semantics.
The default implementation of smp_mb__before_llsc() is just smp_llsc_mb(),
so there are no changes in semantics.
Also simplify definition of smp_mb(), smp_rmb(), and smp_wmb() to be just
barrier() in the non-SMP case.

On some CPUs, it is more efficient to disable and enable interrupts in the
kernel rather than use ll/sc for atomic operations. But if we were to set
cpu_has_llsc to false, we would break the userspace futex interface (in
asm/futex.h).
We separate the two concepts, with a new predicate kernel_uses_llsc, that
lets us disable the kernel's use of ll/sc while still allowing the futex
code to use it.
Also there were a couple of cases in bitops.h where we were using ll/sc
unconditionally even if cpu_has_llsc were false.
