rt_mutex_trylock() must be called from thread context. It can be
called from atomic regions (preemption or interrupts disabled), but
not from hard/softirq/nmi context. Add a warning to alert abusers.
The reasons for this are:
1) There is a potential deadlock in the slowpath
2) Another cpu which blocks on the rtmutex will boost the task
which allegedly locked the rtmutex, but that cannot work
because the hard/softirq context borrows the task context.

The rtmutex code is the only user of __HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG and we have a few
other user of cmpxchg() which do not care about __HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG. This
define was first introduced in 23f78d4a0 ("[PATCH] pi-futex: rt mutex core")
which is v2.6.18. The generic cmpxchg was introduced later in 068fbad288
("Add cmpxchg_local to asm-generic for per cpu atomic operations") which is
v2.6.25.
Back then something was required to get rtmutex working with the fast
path on architectures without cmpxchg and this seems to be the result.
It popped up recently on rt-users because ARM (v6+) does not define
__HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG (even that it implements it) which results in slower
locking performance in the fast path.
To put some numbers on it: preempt -RT, am335x, 10 loops of
100000 invocations of rt_spin_lock() + rt_spin_unlock() (time "total" is
the average of the 10 loops for the 100000 invocations, "loop" is
"total / 100000 * 1000"):
cmpxchg | slowpath used || cmpxchg used
| total | loop || total | loop
--------|-----------|-------||------------|-------
ARMv6 | 9129.4 us | 91 ns || 3311.9 us | 33 ns
generic | 9360.2 us | 94 ns || 10834.6 us | 108 ns
----------------------------||--------------------
Forcing it to generic cmpxchg() made things worse for the slowpath and
even worse in cmpxchg() path. It boils down to 14ns more per lock+unlock
in a cache hot loop so it might not be that much in real world.
The last test was a substitute for pre ARMv6 machine but then I was able
to perform the comparison on imx28 which is ARMv5 and therefore is
always is using the generic cmpxchg implementation. And the numbers:
| total | loop
-------- |----------- |--------
slowpath | 263937.2 us | 2639 ns
cmpxchg | 16934.2 us | 169 ns
--------------------------------
The numbers are larger since the machine is slower in general. However,
letting rtmutex use cmpxchg() instead the slowpath seem to improve things.
Since from the ARM (tested on am335x + imx28) point of view always
using cmpxchg() in rt_mutex_lock() + rt_mutex_unlock() makes sense I
would drop the define.

Ronny reported that the following scenario is not handled correctly:
T1 (prio = 10)
lock(rtmutex);
T2 (prio = 20)
lock(rtmutex)
boost T1
T1 (prio = 20)
sys_set_scheduler(prio = 30)
T1 prio = 30
....
sys_set_scheduler(prio = 10)
T1 prio = 30
The last step is wrong as T1 should now be back at prio 20.
Commit c365c292d0 ("sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()")
only handles the case where a boosted tasks tries to lower its
priority.
Fix it by taking the new effective priority into account for the
decision whether a change of the priority is required.

We explicitly mark the task running after returning from
a __rt_mutex_slowlock() call, which does the actual sleeping
via wait-wake-trylocking. As such, this patch does two things:
(1) refactors the code so that setting current to TASK_RUNNING
is done by __rt_mutex_slowlock(), and not by the callers. The
downside to this is that it becomes a bit unclear when at what
point we block. As such I've added a comment that the task
blocks when calling __rt_mutex_slowlock() so readers can figure
out when it is running again.
(2) relaxes setting current's state through __set_current_state(),
instead of it's more expensive barrier alternative. There was no
need for the implied barrier as we're obviously not planning on
blocking.

In case the dead lock detector is enabled we follow the lock chain to
the end in rt_mutex_adjust_prio_chain, even if we could stop earlier
due to the priority/waiter constellation.
But once we are no longer the top priority waiter in a certain step
or the task holding the lock has already the same priority then there
is no point in dequeing and enqueing along the lock chain as there is
no change at all.
So stop the queueing at this point.

Oleg noticed that rtmutex_slowtrylock() has a pointless check for

To avoid calling try_to_take_rtmutex() we really want to check whether
the lock has an owner at all or whether the trylock failed because the
owner is NULL, but the RT_MUTEX_HAS_WAITERS bit is set. This covers
the lock is owned by caller situation as well.
We can actually do this check lockless. trylock is taking a chance
whether we take lock->wait_lock to do the check or not.

When the rtmutex fast path is enabled the slow unlock function can
create the following situation:
spin_lock(foo->m->wait_lock);
foo->m->owner = NULL;
rt_mutex_lock(foo->m); <-- fast path
free = atomic_dec_and_test(foo->refcnt);
rt_mutex_unlock(foo->m); <-- fast path
if (free)
kfree(foo);
spin_unlock(foo->m->wait_lock); <--- Use after free.
Plug the race by changing the slow unlock to the following scheme:
while (!rt_mutex_has_waiters(m)) {
/* Clear the waiters bit in m->owner */
clear_rt_mutex_waiters(m);
owner = rt_mutex_owner(m);
spin_unlock(m->wait_lock);
if (cmpxchg(m->owner, owner, 0) == owner)
return;
spin_lock(m->wait_lock);
}
So in case of a new waiter incoming while the owner tries the slow
path unlock we have two situations:
unlock(wait_lock);
lock(wait_lock);
cmpxchg(p, owner, 0) == owner
mark_rt_mutex_waiters(lock);
acquire(lock);
Or:
unlock(wait_lock);
lock(wait_lock);
mark_rt_mutex_waiters(lock);
cmpxchg(p, owner, 0) != owner
enqueue_waiter();
unlock(wait_lock);
lock(wait_lock);
wakeup_next waiter();
unlock(wait_lock);
lock(wait_lock);
acquire(lock);
If the fast path is disabled, then the simple
m->owner = NULL;
unlock(m->wait_lock);
is sufficient as all access to m->owner is serialized via
m->wait_lock;
Also document and clarify the wakeup_next_waiter function as suggested
by Oleg Nesterov.

When we walk the lock chain, we drop all locks after each step. So the
lock chain can change under us before we reacquire the locks. That's
harmless in principle as we just follow the wrong lock path. But it
can lead to a false positive in the dead lock detection logic:
T0 holds L0
T0 blocks on L1 held by T1
T1 blocks on L2 held by T2
T2 blocks on L3 held by T3
T4 blocks on L4 held by T4
Now we walk the chain
lock T1 -> lock L2 -> adjust L2 -> unlock T1 ->
lock T2 -> adjust T2 -> drop locks
T2 times out and blocks on L0
Now we continue:
lock T2 -> lock L0 -> deadlock detected, but it's not a deadlock at all.
Brad tried to work around that in the deadlock detection logic itself,
but the more I looked at it the less I liked it, because it's crystal
ball magic after the fact.
We actually can detect a chain change very simple:
lock T1 -> lock L2 -> adjust L2 -> unlock T1 -> lock T2 -> adjust T2 ->
next_lock = T2->pi_blocked_on->lock;
drop locks
T2 times out and blocks on L0
Now we continue:
lock T2 ->
if (next_lock != T2->pi_blocked_on->lock)
return;
So if we detect that T2 is now blocked on a different lock we stop the
chain walk. That's also correct in the following scenario:
lock T1 -> lock L2 -> adjust L2 -> unlock T1 -> lock T2 -> adjust T2 ->
next_lock = T2->pi_blocked_on->lock;
drop locks
T3 times out and drops L3
T2 acquires L3 and blocks on L4 now
Now we continue:
lock T2 ->
if (next_lock != T2->pi_blocked_on->lock)
return;
We don't have to follow up the chain at that point, because T2
propagated our priority up to T4 already.

Even in the case when deadlock detection is not requested by the
caller, we can detect deadlocks. Right now the code stops the lock
chain walk and keeps the waiter enqueued, even on itself. Silly not to
yell when such a scenario is detected and to keep the waiter enqueued.
Return -EDEADLK unconditionally and handle it at the call sites.
The futex calls return -EDEADLK. The non futex ones dequeue the
waiter, throw a warning and put the task into a schedule loop.

The current deadlock detection logic does not work reliably due to the
following early exit path:
/*
* Drop out, when the task has no waiters. Note,
* top_waiter can be NULL, when we are in the deboosting
* mode!
*/
if (top_waiter && (!task_has_pi_waiters(task) ||
top_waiter != task_top_pi_waiter(task)))
goto out_unlock_pi;
So this not only exits when the task has no waiters, it also exits
unconditionally when the current waiter is not the top priority waiter
of the task.
So in a nested locking scenario, it might abort the lock chain walk
and therefor miss a potential deadlock.
Simple fix: Continue the chain walk, when deadlock detection is
enabled.
We also avoid the whole enqueue, if we detect the deadlock right away
(A-A). It's an optimization, but also prevents that another waiter who
comes in after the detection and before the task has undone the damage
observes the situation and detects the deadlock and returns
-EDEADLOCK, which is wrong as the other task is not in a deadlock
situation.

If a PI boosted task policy/priority is modified by a setscheduler()
call we unconditionally dequeue and requeue the task if it is on the
runqueue even if the new priority is lower than the current effective
boosted priority. This can result in undesired reordering of the
priority bucket list.
If the new priority is less or equal than the current effective we
just store the new parameters in the task struct and leave the
scheduler class and the runqueue untouched. This is handled when the
task deboosts itself. Only if the new priority is higher than the
effective boosted priority we apply the change immediately.

Some method to deal with rt-mutexes and make sched_dl interact with
the current PI-coded is needed, raising all but trivial issues, that
needs (according to us) to be solved with some restructuring of
the pi-code (i.e., going toward a proxy execution-ish implementation).
This is under development, in the meanwhile, as a temporary solution,
what this commits does is:
- ensure a pi-lock owner with waiters is never throttled down. Instead,
when it runs out of runtime, it immediately gets replenished and it's
deadline is postponed;
- the scheduling parameters (relative deadline and default runtime)
used for that replenishments --during the whole period it holds the
pi-lock-- are the ones of the waiting task with earliest deadline.
Acting this way, we provide some kind of boosting to the lock-owner,
still by using the existing (actually, slightly modified by the previous
commit) pi-architecture.
We would stress the fact that this is only a surely needed, all but
clean solution to the problem. In the end it's only a way to re-start
discussion within the community. So, as always, comments, ideas, rants,
etc.. are welcome! :-)

Turn the pi-chains from plist to rb-tree, in the rt_mutex code,
and provide a proper comparison function for -deadline and
-priority tasks.
This is done mainly because:
- classical prio field of the plist is just an int, which might
not be enough for representing a deadline;
- manipulating such a list would become O(nr_deadline_tasks),
which might be to much, as the number of -deadline task increases.
Therefore, an rb-tree is used, and tasks are queued in it according
to the following logic:
- among two -priority (i.e., SCHED_BATCH/OTHER/RR/FIFO) tasks, the
one with the higher (lower, actually!) prio wins;
- among a -priority and a -deadline task, the latter always wins;
- among two -deadline tasks, the one with the earliest deadline
wins.
Queueing and dequeueing functions are changed accordingly, for both
the list of a task's pi-waiters and the list of tasks blocked on
a pi-lock.
