Mark Rutland 131e135f7f arm64: instrument smp_{load_acquire,store_release}
Our __smp_store_release() and __smp_load_acquire() macros use inline
assembly, which is opaque to kasan. This means that kasan can't catch
erroneous use of these.

This patch adds kasan instrumentation to both.

Will Deacon bd4fb6d270 arm64: Add support for SB barrier and patch in over DSB; ISB sequences
We currently use a DSB; ISB sequence to inhibit speculation in set_fs().
Whilst this works for current CPUs, future CPUs may implement a new SB
barrier instruction which acts as an architected speculation barrier.

On CPUs that support it, patch in an SB; NOP sequence over the DSB; ISB
sequence and advertise the presence of the new instruction to userspace.

Mark Rutland 994870bead arm64: ensure extension of smp_store_release value
When an inline assembly operand's type is narrower than the register it
is allocated to, the least significant bits of the register (up to the
operand type's width) are valid, and any other bits are permitted to
contain any arbitrary value. This aligns with the AAPCS64 parameter
passing rules.

Our __smp_store_release() implementation does not account for this, and
implicitly assumes that operands have been zero-extended to the width of
the type being stored to. Thus, we may store unknown values to memory
when the value type is narrower than the pointer type (e.g. when storing
a char to a long).

This patch fixes the issue by casting the value operand to the same
width as the pointer operand in all cases, which ensures that the value
is zero-extended as we expect. We use the same union trickery as
__smp_load_acquire and {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() to avoid GCC complaining that
pointers are potentially cast to narrower width integers in unreachable
paths.

A whitespace issue at the top of __smp_store_release() is also
corrected.

No changes are necessary for __smp_load_acquire(). Load instructions
implicitly clear any upper bits of the register, and the compiler will
only consider the least significant bits of the register as valid
regardless.

Will Deacon 03e3c2b7ed locking/barriers, arch/arm64: Implement LDXR+WFE based smp_cond_load_acquire()
smp_cond_load_acquire() is used to spin on a variable until some
expression involving that variable becomes true.

On arm64, we can build this using the LDXR and WFE instructions, since
clearing of the exclusive monitor as a result of the variable being
changed by another CPU generates an event, which will wake us up out of WFE.

This patch implements smp_cond_load_acquire() using LDXR and WFE, which
themselves are contained in an internal __cmpwait() function.

Will Deacon c139aa60c1 arm64: barriers: fix smp_load_acquire to work with const arguments
A newly introduced function in include/net/sock.h passes a const
argument to smp_load_acquire:

  static inline int sk_state_load(const struct sock *sk)
  {
	return smp_load_acquire(&sk->sk_state);
  }

This cause an allmodconfig build failure, since our underlying
load-acquire implementation does not handle const types correctly:

  include/net/sock.h: In function 'sk_state_load':
  ./arch/arm64/include/asm/barrier.h:71:3: error: read-only variable '___p1' used as 'asm' output
     asm volatile ("ldarb %w0, %1"    \

This patch fixes the problem by reusing the trick in READ_ONCE that
loads via a non-const member of an anonymous union. This has the
advantage of allowing us to use smp_load_acquire on packed structures
(e.g. arch_spinlock_t) as well as primitive types.

Andre Przywara 878a84d5a8 arm64: add missing data types in smp_load_acquire/smp_store_release
Commit 8053871d0f ("smp: Fix smp_call_function_single_async()
locking") introduced a call to smp_load_acquire() with a u16 argument,
but we only cared about u32 and u64 types in that function so far.
This resulted in a compiler warning fortunately, pointing at an
uninitialized use. Due to the implementation structure the compiler
misses that bug in the smp_store_release(), though.
Add the u16 and u8 variants using ldarh/stlrh and ldarb/stlrb,
respectively. Together with the compiletime_assert_atomic_type() check
this should cover all cases now.

Alexander Duyck 1077fa36f2 arch: Add lightweight memory barriers dma_rmb() and dma_wmb()
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.

Peter Zijlstra 47933ad41a arch: Introduce smp_load_acquire(), smp_store_release()
A number of situations currently require the heavyweight smp_mb(),
even though there is no need to order prior stores against later
loads.  Many architectures have much cheaper ways to handle these
situations, but the Linux kernel currently has no portable way
to make use of them.

This commit therefore supplies smp_load_acquire() and
smp_store_release() to remedy this situation.  The new
smp_load_acquire() primitive orders the specified load against
any subsequent reads or writes, while the new smp_store_release()
primitive orders the specifed store against any prior reads or
writes.  These primitives allow array-based circular FIFOs to be
implemented without an smp_mb(), and also allow a theoretical
hole in rcu_assign_pointer() to be closed at no additional
expense on most architectures.

In addition, the RCU experience transitioning from explicit
smp_read_barrier_depends() and smp_wmb() to rcu_dereference()
and rcu_assign_pointer(), respectively resulted in substantial
improvements in readability.  It therefore seems likely that
replacing other explicit barriers with smp_load_acquire() and
smp_store_release() will provide similar benefits.  It appears
that roughly half of the explicit barriers in core kernel code
might be so replaced.
