seqcount_init() must be a macro in order to preserve the static
variable that is used for the lockdep key. Don't then wrap it in an
inline function, which destroys that.
Luckily there aren't many users of this function, but fix it before it
becomes a problem.

When the seqcount_LOCKNAME_t group of data types were introduced, two
classes of seqlock.h sequence counter macros were added:
- An external public API which can either take a plain seqcount_t or
any of the seqcount_LOCKNAME_t variants.
- An internal API which takes only a plain seqcount_t.
To distinguish between the two groups, the "*_seqcount_t_*" pattern was
used for the latter. This confused a number of mm/ call-site developers,
and Linus also commented that it was not a standard practice for marking
seqlock.h internal APIs.
Distinguish the latter group of macros by prefixing a "do_".

On PREEMPT_RT, seqlock_t is transformed to a sleeping lock that do not
disable preemption. A seqlock_t reader can thus preempt its write side
section and spin for the enter scheduler tick. If that reader belongs to
a real-time scheduling class, it can spin forever and the kernel will
livelock.
To break this livelock possibility on PREEMPT_RT, implement seqlock_t in
terms of "seqcount_spinlock_t" instead of plain "seqcount_t".
Beside its pure annotational value, this will leverage the existing
seqcount_LOCKNAME_T PREEMPT_RT anti-livelock mechanisms, without adding
any extra code.

Preemption must be disabled before entering a sequence counter write
side critical section. Otherwise the read side section can preempt the
write side section and spin for the entire scheduler tick. If that
reader belongs to a real-time scheduling class, it can spin forever and
the kernel will livelock.
Disabling preemption cannot be done for PREEMPT_RT though: it can lead
to higher latencies, and the write side sections will not be able to
acquire locks which become sleeping locks (e.g. spinlock_t).
To remain preemptible, while avoiding a possible livelock caused by the
reader preempting the writer, use a different technique: let the reader
detect if a seqcount_LOCKNAME_t writer is in progress. If that's the
case, acquire then release the associated LOCKNAME writer serialization
lock. This will allow any possibly-preempted writer to make progress
until the end of its writer serialization lock critical section.
Implement this lock-unlock technique for all seqcount_LOCKNAME_t with
an associated (PREEMPT_RT) sleeping lock.

The sequence counters read APIs are implemented as CPP macros, so they
can take either seqcount_t or any of the seqcount_LOCKNAME_t variants.
Such macros then get *directly* transformed to internal C functions that
only take plain seqcount_t.
Further commits need access to seqcount_LOCKNAME_t inside of the actual
read APIs code. Thus transform all of the seqcount read APIs to pure GCC
statement expressions instead.
This will not break type-safety: all of the transformed APIs resolve to
a _Generic() selection that does not have a "default" case.
This will also not affect the transformed APIs readability: previously
added kernel-doc above all of seqlock.h functions makes the expectations
quite clear for call-site developers.

At seqlock.h, the following set of functions:
- __seqcount_ptr()
- __seqcount_preemptible()
- __seqcount_assert()
act as plain seqcount_t "property" accessors. Meanwhile, the following
group:
- __seqcount_ptr()
- __seqcount_lock_preemptible()
- __seqcount_assert_lock_held()
act as the equivalent set, but in the generic form, taking either
seqcount_t or any of the seqcount_LOCKNAME_t variants.
This is quite confusing, especially the first member where it is called
exactly the same in both groups.
Differentiate the first group by using "__seqprop" as prefix, and also
use that same prefix for all of seqcount_LOCKNAME_t property accessors.
While at it, constify the property accessors first parameter when
appropriate.

Latch sequence counters are a multiversion concurrency control mechanism
where the seqcount_t counter even/odd value is used to switch between
two copies of protected data. This allows the seqcount_t read path to
safely interrupt its write side critical section (e.g. from NMIs).
Initially, latch sequence counters were implemented as a single write
function above plain seqcount_t: raw_write_seqcount_latch(). The read
side was expected to use plain seqcount_t raw_read_seqcount().
A specialized latch read function, raw_read_seqcount_latch(), was later
added. It became the standardized way for latch read paths. Due to the
dependent load, it has one read memory barrier less than the plain
seqcount_t raw_read_seqcount() API.
Only raw_write_seqcount_latch() and raw_read_seqcount_latch() should be
used with latch sequence counters. Having *unique* read and write path
APIs means that latch sequence counters are actually a data type of
their own -- just inappropriately overloading plain seqcount_t.
Introduce seqcount_latch_t. This adds type-safety and ensures that only
the correct latch-safe APIs are to be used.
Not to break bisection, let the latch APIs also accept plain seqcount_t
or seqcount_raw_spinlock_t. After converting all call sites to
seqcount_latch_t, only that new data type will be allowed.

By using lockdep_assert_*() from seqlock.h, the spaghetti monster
attacked.
Attack back by reducing seqlock.h dependencies from two key high level headers:
- <linux/seqlock.h>: -Remove <linux/ww_mutex.h>
- <linux/time.h>: -Remove <linux/seqlock.h>
- <linux/sched.h>: +Add <linux/seqlock.h>
The price was to add it to sched.h ...
Core header fallout, we add direct header dependencies instead of gaining them
parasitically from higher level headers:
- <linux/dynamic_queue_limits.h>: +Add <asm/bug.h>
- <linux/hrtimer.h>: +Add <linux/seqlock.h>
- <linux/ktime.h>: +Add <asm/bug.h>
- <linux/lockdep.h>: +Add <linux/smp.h>
- <linux/sched.h>: +Add <linux/seqlock.h>
- <linux/videodev2.h>: +Add <linux/kernel.h>
Arch headers fallout:
- PARISC: <asm/timex.h>: +Add <asm/special_insns.h>
- SH: <asm/io.h>: +Add <asm/page.h>
- SPARC: <asm/timer_64.h>: +Add <uapi/asm/asi.h>

A sequence counter write side critical section must be protected by some
form of locking to serialize writers. If the serialization primitive is
not disabling preemption implicitly, preemption has to be explicitly
disabled before entering the write side critical section.
There is no built-in debugging mechanism to verify that the lock used
for writer serialization is held and preemption is disabled. Some usage
sites like dma-buf have explicit lockdep checks for the writer-side
lock, but this covers only a small portion of the sequence counter usage
in the kernel.
Add new sequence counter types which allows to associate a lock to the
sequence counter at initialization time. The seqcount API functions are
extended to provide appropriate lockdep assertions depending on the
seqcount/lock type.
For sequence counters with associated locks that do not implicitly
disable preemption, preemption protection is enforced in the sequence
counter write side functions. This removes the need to explicitly add
preempt_disable/enable() around the write side critical sections: the
write_begin/end() functions for these new sequence counter types
automatically do this.
Introduce the following seqcount types with associated locks:
seqcount_spinlock_t
seqcount_raw_spinlock_t
seqcount_rwlock_t
seqcount_mutex_t
seqcount_ww_mutex_t
Extend the seqcount read and write functions to branch out to the
specific seqcount_LOCKTYPE_t implementation at compile-time. This avoids
kernel API explosion per each new seqcount_LOCKTYPE_t added. Add such
compile-time type detection logic into a new, internal, seqlock header.
Document the proper seqcount_LOCKTYPE_t usage, and rationale, at
Documentation/locking/seqlock.rst.
If lockdep is disabled, this lock association is compiled out and has
neither storage size nor runtime overhead.

exception of masking the sequence counter's LSB before returning it to

The seqlock.h seqcount_t and seqlock_t API definitions are presented in
the chronological order of their development rather than the order that
makes most sense to readers. This makes it hard to follow and understand
the header file code.
Group and reorder all of the exported seqlock.h functions according to
their function.
First, group together the seqcount_t standard read path functions:
- __read_seqcount_begin()
- raw_read_seqcount_begin()
- read_seqcount_begin()
since each function is implemented exactly in terms of the one above
it. Then, group the special-case seqcount_t readers on their own as:
- raw_read_seqcount()
- raw_seqcount_begin()
since the only difference between the two functions is that the second
one masks the sequence counter LSB while the first one does not. Note
that raw_seqcount_begin() can actually be implemented in terms of
raw_read_seqcount(), which will be done in a follow-up commit.
Then, group the seqcount_t write path functions, instead of injecting
unrelated seqcount_t latch functions between them, and order them as:
- raw_write_seqcount_begin()
- raw_write_seqcount_end()
- write_seqcount_begin_nested()
- write_seqcount_begin()
- write_seqcount_end()
- raw_write_seqcount_barrier()
- write_seqcount_invalidate()
which is the expected natural order. This also isolates the seqcount_t
latch functions into their own area, at the end of the sequence counters
section, and before jumping to the next one: sequential locks
(seqlock_t).
Do a similar grouping and reordering for seqlock_t "locking" readers vs.
the "conditionally locking or lockless" ones.
No implementation code was changed in any of the reordering above.

Proper documentation for the design and usage of sequence counters and
sequential locks does not exist. Complete the seqlock.h documentation as
follows:
- Divide all documentation on a seqcount_t vs. seqlock_t basis. The
description for both mechanisms was intermingled, which is incorrect
since the usage constrains for each type are vastly different.
- Add an introductory paragraph describing the internal design of, and
rationale for, sequence counters.
- Document seqcount_t writer non-preemptibility requirement, which was
not previously documented anywhere, and provide a clear rationale.
- Provide template code for seqcount_t and seqlock_t initialization
and reader/writer critical sections.
- Recommend using seqlock_t by default. It implicitly handles the
serialization and non-preemptibility requirements of writers.
At seqlock.h:
- Remove references to brlocks as they've long been removed from the
kernel.
- Remove references to gcc-3.x since the kernel's minimum supported
gcc version is 4.9.

- Remove spurious newlines that are col80 warning artifacts where the
resulting line-break is worse than the disease it's curing.
- Use core kernel coding style to improve readability and reduce
spurious code pattern variations.
- Use better vertical alignment for structure definitions and initialization
sequences.
- Misc other small details.
No change in functionality intended.

This patch proposes to require marked atomic accesses surrounding
raw_write_seqcount_barrier. We reason that otherwise there is no way to
guarantee propagation nor atomicity of writes before/after the barrier
[1]. For example, consider the compiler tears stores either before or
after the barrier; in this case, readers may observe a partial value,
and because readers are unaware that writes are going on (writes are not
in a seq-writer critical section), will complete the seq-reader critical
section while having observed some partial state.
[1] https://lwn.net/Articles/793253/
This came up when designing and implementing KCSAN, because KCSAN would
flag these accesses as data-races. After careful analysis, our reasoning
as above led us to conclude that the best thing to do is to propose an
amendment to the raw_seqcount_barrier usage.

Since seqlocks in the Linux kernel do not require the use of marked
atomic accesses in critical sections, we teach KCSAN to assume such
accesses are atomic. KCSAN currently also pretends that writes to
`sequence` are atomic, although currently plain writes are used (their
corresponding reads are READ_ONCE).
Further, to avoid false positives in the absence of clear ending of a
seqlock reader critical section (only when using the raw interface),
KCSAN assumes a fixed number of accesses after start of a seqlock
critical section are atomic.
=== Commentary on design around absence of clear begin/end markings ===
Seqlock usage via seqlock_t follows a predictable usage pattern, where
clear critical section begin/end is enforced. With subtle special cases
for readers needing to be flat atomic regions, e.g. because usage such
as in:
- fs/namespace.c:__legitimize_mnt - unbalanced read_seqretry
- fs/dcache.c:d_walk - unbalanced need_seqretry
But, anything directly accessing seqcount_t seems to be unpredictable.
Filtering for usage of read_seqcount_retry not following 'do { .. }
while (read_seqcount_retry(..));':
$ git grep 'read_seqcount_retry' | grep -Ev 'while \(|seqlock.h|Doc|\* '
=> about 1/3 of the total read_seqcount_retry usage.
Just looking at fs/namei.c, we conclude that it is non-trivial to
prescribe and migrate to an interface that would force clear begin/end
seqlock markings for critical sections.
As such, we concluded that the best design currently, is to simply
ensure that KCSAN works well with the existing code.

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.

Commit 50755bc1c305 ("seqlock: fix raw_read_seqcount_latch()") broke
raw_read_seqcount_latch().
If you look at the comment that was modified; the thing that changes is
the seq count, not the latch pointer.
* void latch_modify(struct latch_struct *latch, ...)
* {
* smp_wmb(); <- Ensure that the last data[1] update is visible
* latch->seq++;
* smp_wmb(); <- Ensure that the seqcount update is visible
*
* modify(latch->data[0], ...);
*
* smp_wmb(); <- Ensure that the data[0] update is visible
* latch->seq++;
* smp_wmb(); <- Ensure that the seqcount update is visible
*
* modify(latch->data[1], ...);
* }
*
* The query will have a form like:
*
* struct entry *latch_query(struct latch_struct *latch, ...)
* {
* struct entry *entry;
* unsigned seq, idx;
*
* do {
* seq = lockless_dereference(latch->seq);
So here we have:
seq = READ_ONCE(latch->seq);
smp_read_barrier_depends();
Which is exactly what we want; the new code:
seq = ({ p = READ_ONCE(latch);
smp_read_barrier_depends(); p })->seq;
is just wrong; because it looses the volatile read on seq, which can now
be torn or worse 'optimized'. And the read_depend barrier is also placed
wrong, we want it after the load of seq, to match the above data[]
up-to-date wmb()s.
Such that when we dereference latch->data[] below, we're guaranteed to
observe the right data.
*
* idx = seq & 0x01;
* entry = data_query(latch->data[idx], ...);
*
* smp_rmb();
* } while (seq != latch->seq);
*
* return entry;
* }
So yes, not passing a pointer is not pretty, but the code was correct,
and isn't anymore now.
Change to explicit READ_ONCE()+smp_read_barrier_depends() to avoid
confusion and allow strict lockless_dereference() checking.

Introduce raw_write_seqcount_barrier(), a new construct that can be
used to provide write barrier semantics in seqcount read loops instead
of the usual consistency guarantee.
raw_write_seqcount_barier() is equivalent to:
raw_write_seqcount_begin();
raw_write_seqcount_end();
But avoids issueing two back-to-back smp_wmb() instructions.
This construct works because the read side will 'stall' when observing
odd values. This means that -- referring to the example in the comment
below -- even though there is no (matching) read barrier between the
loads of X and Y, we cannot observe !x && !y, because:
- if we observe Y == false we must observe the first sequence
increment, which makes us loop, until
- we observe !(seq & 1) -- the second sequence increment -- at which
time we must also observe T == true.

I'll shortly be introducing another seqcount primitive that's useful
to provide ordering semantics and would like to use the
write_seqcount_barrier() name for that.
Seeing how there's only one user of the current primitive, lets rename
it to invalidate, as that appears what its doing.
While there, employ lockdep_assert_held() instead of
assert_spin_locked() to not generate debug code for regular kernels.

With the new standardized functions, we can replace all
ACCESS_ONCE() calls across relevant locking - this includes
lockref and seqlock while at it.
ACCESS_ONCE() does not work reliably on non-scalar types.
For example gcc 4.6 and 4.7 might remove the volatile tag
for such accesses during the SRA (scalar replacement of
aggregates) step:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145
Update the new calls regardless of if it is a scalar type,
this is cleaner than having three alternatives.

Pull timer and time updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A rather large update of timers, timekeeping & co
- Core timekeeping code is year-2038 safe now for 32bit machines.
Now we just need to fix all in kernel users and the gazillion of
user space interfaces which rely on timespec/timeval :)
- Better cache layout for the timekeeping internal data structures.
- Proper nanosecond based interfaces for in kernel users.
- Tree wide cleanup of code which wants nanoseconds but does hoops
and loops to convert back and forth from timespecs. Some of it
definitely belongs into the ugly code museum.
- Consolidation of the timekeeping interface zoo.
- A fast NMI safe accessor to clock monotonic for tracing. This is a
long standing request to support correlated user/kernel space
traces. With proper NTP frequency correction it's also suitable
for correlation of traces accross separate machines.
- Checkpoint/restart support for timerfd.
- A few NOHZ[_FULL] improvements in the [hr]timer code.
- Code move from kernel to kernel/time of all time* related code.
- New clocksource/event drivers from the ARM universe. I'm really
impressed that despite an architected timer in the newer chips SoC
manufacturers insist on inventing new and differently broken SoC
specific timers.
[ Ed. "Impressed"? I don't think that word means what you think it means ]
- Another round of code move from arch to drivers. Looks like most
of the legacy mess in ARM regarding timers is sorted out except for
a few obnoxious strongholds.
