A change in clang 13 results in the __lwsync macro being defined as
__builtin_ppc_lwsync, which emits 'lwsync' or 'msync' depending on what
the target supports. This breaks the build because of -Werror in
arch/powerpc, along with thousands of warnings:

Undefine this macro so that the runtime patching introduced by

work properly with clang and the build no longer breaks.

49a7d46a06c3 (powerpc: Implement smp_cond_load_relaxed()) added
busy-waiting pausing with a preferred SMT priority pattern, lowering
the priority (reducing decode cycles) during the whole loop slowpath.
However, data shows that while this pattern works well with simple
spinlocks, queued spinlocks benefit more being kept in medium priority,
with a cpu_relax() instead, being a low+medium combo on powerpc.
Data is from three benchmarks on a Power9: 9008-22L 64 CPUs with
2 sockets and 8 threads per core.
1. locktorture.
This is data for the lowest and most artificial/pathological level,
with increasing thread counts pounding on the lock. Metrics are total
ops/minute. Despite some small hits in the 4-8 range, scenarios are
either neutral or favorable to this patch.

2. sockperf (tcp throughput)
Here a client will do one-way throughput tests to a localhost server, with
increasing message sizes, dealing with the sk_lock. This patch shows to put
the performance of the qspinlock back to par with that of the simple lock:
simple-spinlock vanilla dirty

3. dbench (tmpfs)
Configured to run with up to ncpusx8 clients, it shows both latency and

Hmean 512 14891.27 ( 0.00%) 15162.11 * 1.82%*
Measuring the dbench4 Per-VFS Operation latency, shows some very minor
differences within the noise level, around the 0-1% ranges.

Currently we use ifdef __powerpc64__ in barrier.h to decide if we
should use lwsync or eieio for SMPWMB which is then used by
__smp_wmb().
That means when we are building the compat VDSO we will use eieio,
because it's 32-bit code, even though we're building a 64-bit kernel
for a 64-bit CPU.
Although eieio should work, it would be cleaner if we always used the
same barrier, even for the 32-bit VDSO.
So change the ifdef to CONFIG_PPC64, so that the selection is made
based on the bitness of the kernel we're building for, not the current
compilation unit.

Based on the RFI patching. This is required to be able to disable the
speculation barrier.
Only one barrier type is supported and it does nothing when the
firmware does not enable it. Also re-patching modules is not supported
So the only meaningful thing that can be done is patching out the
speculation barrier at boot when the user says it is not wanted.

A no-op form of ori (or immediate of 0 into r31 and the result stored
in r31) has been re-tasked as a speculation barrier. The instruction
only acts as a barrier on newer machines with appropriate firmware
support. On older CPUs it remains a harmless no-op.
Implement barrier_nospec using this instruction.
mpe: The semantics of the instruction are believed to be that it
prevents execution of subsequent instructions until preceding branches
have been fully resolved and are no longer executing speculatively.
There is no further documentation available at this time.

asm/barrier.h is not always included after asm/synch.h, which meant
it was missing __SUBARCH_HAS_LWSYNC, so in some files smp_wmb() would
be eieio when it should be lwsync. kernel/time/hrtimer.c is one case.
__SUBARCH_HAS_LWSYNC is only used in one place, so just fold it in
to where it's used. Previously with my small simulator config, 377
instances of eieio in the tree. After this patch there are 55.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

The sync (aka. hwsync, aka. heavyweight sync) in the context switch
code to prevent MMIO access being reordered from the point of view of
a single process if it gets migrated to a different CPU is not
required because there is an hwsync performed earlier in the context
switch path.
Comment this so it's clear enough if anything changes on the scheduler
or the powerpc sides. Remove the hwsync from _switch.
This improves context switch performance by 2-3% on POWER8.

Currently, smp_mb__before_spinlock() is defined to be smp_wmb()
in core code, but this is not sufficient on PowerPC. This patch
therefore supplies an override for the generic definition to

Since set_mb() is really about an smp_mb() -- not a IO/DMA barrier
like mb() rename it to match the recent smp_load_acquire() and
smp_store_release().

Since we assume set_mb() to result in a single store followed by a
full memory barrier, employ WRITE_ONCE().

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.

This patch is meant to cleanup the handling of read_barrier_depends and
smp_read_barrier_depends. In multiple spots in the kernel headers
read_barrier_depends is defined as "do {} while (0)", however we then go
into the SMP vs non-SMP sections and have the SMP version reference
read_barrier_depends, and the non-SMP define it as yet another empty
do/while.
With this commit I went through and cleaned out the duplicate definitions
and reduced the number of definitions down to 2 per header. In addition I
moved the 50 line comments for the macro from the x86 and mips headers that
defined it as an empty do/while to those that were actually defining the
macro, alpha and blackfin.

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.
