Will Deacon a48e61de75 arm64: Mark functions using explicit register variables as '__always_inline'
As of ac7c3e4ff4 ("compiler: enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING forcibly"),
inline functions are no longer annotated with '__always_inline', which
allows the compiler to decide whether inlining is really a good idea or
not. Although this is a great idea on paper, the reality is that AArch64
GCC prior to 9.1 has been shown to get confused when creating an
out-of-line copy of a function passing explicit 'register' variables
into an inline assembly block:

  https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=91111

It's not clear whether this is specific to arm64 or not but, for now,
ensure that all of our functions using 'register' variables are marked
as '__always_inline' so that the old behaviour is effectively preserved.

Hopefully other architectures are luckier with their compilers.

Andrew Murray 3337cb5aea arm64: avoid using hard-coded registers for LSE atomics
Now that we have removed the out-of-line ll/sc atomics we can give
the compiler the freedom to choose its own register allocation.

Remove the hard-coded use of x30.

Andrew Murray addfc38672 arm64: atomics: avoid out-of-line ll/sc atomics
When building for LSE atomics (CONFIG_ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS), if the hardware
or toolchain doesn't support it the existing code will fallback to ll/sc
atomics. It achieves this by branching from inline assembly to a function
that is built with special compile flags. Further this results in the
clobbering of registers even when the fallback isn't used increasing
register pressure.

Improve this by providing inline implementations of both LSE and
ll/sc and use a static key to select between them, which allows for the
compiler to generate better atomics code. Put the LL/SC fallback atomics
in their own subsection to improve icache performance.

Linus Torvalds e192832869 Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle are:

   - rwsem scalability improvements, phase #2, by Waiman Long, which are
     rather impressive:

       "On a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system with 40 reader
        and writer locking threads, the min/mean/max locking operations
        done in a 5-second testing window before the patchset were:

         40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/1,808/1,810
         40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/50,344/151,255

        After the patchset, they became:

         40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 30,057/31,359/32,741
         40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 94,466/95,845/97,098"

     There's a lot of changes to the locking implementation that makes
     it similar to qrwlock, including owner handoff for more fair
     locking.

     Another microbenchmark shows how across the spectrum the
     improvements are:

       "With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the
        total locking rates (in kops/s) on a 2-socket Skylake system
        with equal numbers of readers and writers (mixed) before and
        after this patchset were:

        # of Threads   Before Patch      After Patch

             2            2,618             4,193
             4            1,202             3,726

            64              102             2,744"

     The changes are extensive and the patch-set has been through
     several iterations addressing various locking workloads. There
     might be more regressions, but unless they are pathological I
     believe we want to use this new implementation as the baseline
     going forward.

   - jump-label optimizations by Daniel Bristot de Oliveira: the primary
     motivation was to remove IPI disturbance of isolated RT-workload
     CPUs, which resulted in the implementation of batched jump-label
     updates. Beyond the improvement of the real-time characteristics
     kernel, in one test this patchset improved static key update
     overhead from 57 msecs to just 1.4 msecs - which is a nice speedup
     as well.

   - atomic64_t cross-arch type cleanups by Mark Rutland: over the last
     ~10 years of atomic64_t existence the various types used by the
     APIs only had to be self-consistent within each architecture -
     which means they became wildly inconsistent across architectures.
     Mark puts and end to this by reworking all the atomic64
     implementations to use 's64' as the base type for atomic64_t, and
     to ensure that this type is consistently used for parameters and
     return values in the API, avoiding further problems in this area.

   - A large set of small improvements to lockdep by Yuyang Du: type
     cleanups, output cleanups, function return type and othr cleanups
     all around the place.

   - A set of percpu ops cleanups and fixes by Peter Zijlstra.

   - Misc other changes - please see the Git log for more details"

Mark Rutland 16f18688af locking/atomic, arm64: Use s64 for atomic64
As a step towards making the atomic64 API use consistent types treewide,
let's have the arm64 atomic64 implementation use s64 as the underlying
type for atomic64_t, rather than long, matching the generated headers.

As atomic64_read() depends on the generic defintion of atomic64_t, this
still returns long. This will be converted in a subsequent patch.

Note that in arch_atomic64_dec_if_positive(), the x0 variable is left as
long, as this variable is also used to hold the pointer to the
atomic64_t.

Otherwise, there should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Mark Rutland c0df108128 arm64, locking/atomics: Use instrumented atomics
Now that the generic atomic headers provide instrumented wrappers of all
the atomics implemented by arm64, let's migrate arm64 over to these.

The additional instrumentation will help to find bugs (e.g. when fuzzing
with Syzkaller).

Mostly this change involves adding an arch_ prefix to a number of
function names and macro definitions. When LSE atomics are used, the
out-of-line LL/SC atomics will be named __ll_sc_arch_atomic_${OP}.

Adding the arch_ prefix requires some whitespace fixups to keep things
aligned. Some other unusual whitespace is fixed up at the same time
(e.g. in the cmpxchg wrappers).

Will Deacon 32c3fa7cdf arm64: lse: Add early clobbers to some input/output asm operands
For LSE atomics that read and write a register operand, we need to
ensure that these operands are annotated as "early clobber" if the
register is written before all of the input operands have been consumed.
Failure to do so can result in the compiler allocating the same register
to both operands, leading to splats such as:

 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 11111122222221
 [...]
 x1 : 1111111122222222 x0 : 1111111122222221

 Call trace:
  test_atomic64+0x1360/0x155c

where x0 has been allocated as both the value to be stored and also the
atomic_t pointer.

This patch adds the missing clobbers.

Mark Rutland 8997c93452 arm64: atomic_lse: match asm register sizes
The LSE atomic code uses asm register variables to ensure that
parameters are allocated in specific registers. In the majority of cases
we specifically ask for an x register when using 64-bit values, but in a
couple of cases we use a w regsiter for a 64-bit value.

For asm register variables, the compiler only cares about the register
index, with wN and xN having the same meaning. The compiler determines
the register size to use based on the type of the variable. Thus, this
inconsistency is merely confusing, and not harmful to code generation.

For consistency, this patch updates those cases to use the x register
alias. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Ard Biesheuvel 5be8b70af1 arm64: lse: deal with clobbered IP registers after branch via PLT
The LSE atomics implementation uses runtime patching to patch in calls
to out of line non-LSE atomics implementations on cores that lack hardware
support for LSE. To avoid paying the overhead cost of a function call even
if no call ends up being made, the bl instruction is kept invisible to the
compiler, and the out of line implementations preserve all registers, not
just the ones that they are required to preserve as per the AAPCS64.

However, commit fd045f6cd9 ("arm64: add support for module PLTs") added
support for routing branch instructions via veneers if the branch target
offset exceeds the range of the ordinary relative branch instructions.
Since this deals with jump and call instructions that are exposed to ELF
relocations, the PLT code uses x16 to hold the address of the branch target
when it performs an indirect branch-to-register, something which is
explicitly allowed by the AAPCS64 (and ordinary compiler generated code
does not expect register x16 or x17 to retain their values across a bl
instruction).

Since the lse runtime patched bl instructions don't adhere to the AAPCS64,
they don't deal with this clobbering of registers x16 and x17. So add them
to the clobber list of the asm() statements that perform the call
instructions, and drop x16 and x17 from the list of registers that are
callee saved in the out of line non-LSE implementations.

In addition, since we have given these functions two scratch registers,
they no longer need to stack/unstack temp registers.

Lorenzo Pieralisi 57a6566799 arm64: cmpxchg_dbl: fix return value type
The current arm64 __cmpxchg_double{_mb} implementations carry out the
compare exchange by first comparing the old values passed in to the
values read from the pointer provided and by stashing the cumulative
bitwise difference in a 64-bit register.

By comparing the register content against 0, it is possible to detect if
the values read differ from the old values passed in, so that the compare
exchange detects whether it has to bail out or carry on completing the
operation with the exchange.

Given the current implementation, to detect the cmpxchg operation
status, the __cmpxchg_double{_mb} functions should return the 64-bit
stashed bitwise difference so that the caller can detect cmpxchg failure
by comparing the return value content against 0. The current implementation
declares the return value as an int, which means that the 64-bit
value stashing the bitwise difference is truncated before being
returned to the __cmpxchg_double{_mb} callers, which means that
any bitwise difference present in the top 32 bits goes undetected,
triggering false positives and subsequent kernel failures.

This patch fixes the issue by declaring the arm64 __cmpxchg_double{_mb}
return values as a long, so that the bitwise difference is
properly propagated on failure, restoring the expected behaviour.

Will Deacon e9a4b79565 arm64: cmpxchg_dbl: patch in lse instructions when supported by the CPU
On CPUs which support the LSE atomic instructions introduced in ARMv8.1,
it makes sense to use them in preference to ll/sc sequences.

This patch introduces runtime patching of our cmpxchg_double primitives
so that the LSE casp instruction is used instead.

Will Deacon c09d6a04d1 arm64: atomics: patch in lse instructions when supported by the CPU
On CPUs which support the LSE atomic instructions introduced in ARMv8.1,
it makes sense to use them in preference to ll/sc sequences.

This patch introduces runtime patching of atomic_t and atomic64_t
routines so that the call-site for the out-of-line ll/sc sequences is
patched with an LSE atomic instruction when we detect that
the CPU supports it.

If binutils is not recent enough to assemble the LSE instructions, then
the ll/sc sequences are inlined as though CONFIG_ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS=n.

Will Deacon c0385b24af arm64: introduce CONFIG_ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS as fallback to ll/sc atomics
In order to patch in the new atomic instructions at runtime, we need to
generate wrappers around the out-of-line exclusive load/store atomics.

This patch adds a new Kconfig option, CONFIG_ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS. which
causes our atomic functions to branch to the out-of-line ll/sc
implementations. To avoid the register spill overhead of the PCS, the
out-of-line functions are compiled with specific compiler flags to
force out-of-line save/restore of any registers that are usually
caller-saved.
