Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux

Update and document memory barriers for mqueue.c: - ewp->state is read without any locks, thus READ_ONCE is required. - add smp_aquire__after_ctrl_dep() after the READ_ONCE, we need acquire semantics if the value is STATE_READY. - use wake_q_add_safe() - document why __set_current_state() may be used: Reading task->state cannot happen before the wake_q_add() call, which happens while holding info->lock. Thus the spin_unlock() is the RELEASE, and the spin_lock() is the ACQUIRE. For completeness: there is also a 3 CPU scenario, if the to be woken up task is already on another wake_q. Then: - CPU1: spin_unlock() of the task that goes to sleep is the RELEASE - CPU2: the spin_lock() of the waker is the ACQUIRE - CPU2: smp_mb__before_atomic inside wake_q_add() is the RELEASE - CPU3: smp_mb__after_spinlock() inside try_to_wake_up() is the ACQUIRE Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20191020123305.14715-4-manfred@colorfullife.com Signed-off-by: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Reviewed-by: Davidlohr Bueso <dbueso@suse.de> Cc: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Cc: <1vier1@web.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
