<content type='text'>
commit 291da9d4a9eb3a1cb0610b7f4480f5b52b1825e7 upstream.

If CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=n then mutex_lock_io_nested() maps to
mutex_lock() which is clearly wrong because mutex_lock() lacks the
io_schedule_prepare()/finish() invocations.

Map it to mutex_lock_io().

<content type='text'>
By using lockdep_assert_*() from seqlock.h, the spaghetti monster
attacked.

Attack back by reducing seqlock.h dependencies from two key high level headers:

 - &lt;linux/seqlock.h&gt;:               -Remove &lt;linux/ww_mutex.h&gt;
 - &lt;linux/time.h&gt;:                  -Remove &lt;linux/seqlock.h&gt;
 - &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;:                 +Add    &lt;linux/seqlock.h&gt;

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:

 - &lt;linux/dynamic_queue_limits.h&gt;:  +Add &lt;asm/bug.h&gt;
 - &lt;linux/hrtimer.h&gt;:               +Add &lt;linux/seqlock.h&gt;
 - &lt;linux/ktime.h&gt;:                 +Add &lt;asm/bug.h&gt;
 - &lt;linux/lockdep.h&gt;:               +Add &lt;linux/smp.h&gt;
 - &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;:                 +Add &lt;linux/seqlock.h&gt;
 - &lt;linux/videodev2.h&gt;:             +Add &lt;linux/kernel.h&gt;

Arch headers fallout:

 - PARISC: &lt;asm/timex.h&gt;:           +Add &lt;asm/special_insns.h&gt;
 - SH:     &lt;asm/io.h&gt;:              +Add &lt;asm/page.h&gt;
 - SPARC:  &lt;asm/timer_64.h&gt;:        +Add &lt;uapi/asm/asi.h&gt;
 - SPARC:  &lt;asm/vvar.h&gt;:            +Add &lt;asm/processor.h&gt;, &lt;asm/barrier.h&gt;
                                    -Remove &lt;linux/seqlock.h&gt;
 - X86:    &lt;asm/fixmap.h&gt;:          +Add &lt;asm/pgtable_types.h&gt;
                                    -Remove &lt;asm/acpi.h&gt;

There's also a bunch of parasitic header dependency fallout in .c files, not listed
separately.

<title>lockdep: Introduce wait-type checks</title>
<updated>2020-03-21T15:00:24Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=de8f5e4f2dc1f032b46afda0a78cab5456974f89'/>
<id>urn:sha1:de8f5e4f2dc1f032b46afda0a78cab5456974f89</id>
<content type='text'>
Extend lockdep to validate lock wait-type context.

The current wait-types are:

	LD_WAIT_FREE,		/* wait free, rcu etc.. */
	LD_WAIT_SPIN,		/* spin loops, raw_spinlock_t etc.. */
	LD_WAIT_CONFIG,		/* CONFIG_PREEMPT_LOCK, spinlock_t etc.. */
	LD_WAIT_SLEEP,		/* sleeping locks, mutex_t etc.. */

Where lockdep validates that the current lock (the one being acquired)
fits in the current wait-context (as generated by the held stack).

This ensures that there is no attempt to acquire mutexes while holding
spinlocks, to acquire spinlocks while holding raw_spinlocks and so on. In
other words, its a more fancy might_sleep().

Obviously RCU made the entire ordeal more complex than a simple single
value test because RCU can be acquired in (pretty much) any context and
while it presents a context to nested locks it is not the same as it
got acquired in.

Therefore its necessary to split the wait_type into two values, one
representing the acquire (outer) and one representing the nested context
(inner). For most 'normal' locks these two are the same.

[ To make static initialization easier we have the rule that:
  .outer == INV means .outer == .inner; because INV == 0. ]

It further means that its required to find the minimal .inner of the held
stack to compare against the outer of the new lock; because while 'normal'
RCU presents a CONFIG type to nested locks, if it is taken while already
holding a SPIN type it obviously doesn't relax the rules.

Below is an example output generated by the trivial test code:

  raw_spin_lock(&amp;foo);
  spin_lock(&amp;bar);
  spin_unlock(&amp;bar);
  raw_spin_unlock(&amp;foo);

 [ BUG: Invalid wait context ]
 -----------------------------
 swapper/0/1 is trying to lock:
 ffffc90000013f20 (&amp;bar){....}-{3:3}, at: kernel_init+0xdb/0x187
 other info that might help us debug this:
 1 lock held by swapper/0/1:
  #0: ffffc90000013ee0 (&amp;foo){+.+.}-{2:2}, at: kernel_init+0xd1/0x187

The way to read it is to look at the new -{n,m} part in the lock
description; -{3:3} for the attempted lock, and try and match that up to
the held locks, which in this case is the one: -{2,2}.

This tells that the acquiring lock requires a more relaxed environment than
presented by the lock stack.

Currently only the normal locks and RCU are converted, the rest of the
lockdep users defaults to .inner = INV which is ignored. More conversions
can be done when desired.

The check for spinlock_t nesting is not enabled by default. It's a separate
config option for now as there are known problems which are currently
addressed. The config option allows to identify these problems and to
verify that the solutions found are indeed solving them.

The config switch will be removed and the checks will permanently enabled
once the vast majority of issues has been addressed.

The patch moving bits into mutex.c was a little too much; by also
moving struct mutex_waiter a few less common CONFIGs would no longer
build.

__mutex_owner() should only be used by the mutex api's.
So, to put this restiction let's move the __mutex_owner()
function definition from linux/mutex.h to mutex.c file.

There exist functions that uses __mutex_owner() like
mutex_is_locked() and mutex_trylock_recursive(), So
to keep legacy thing intact move them as well and
export them.

Move mutex_waiter structure also to keep it private to the
file.

Convert the locking documents to ReST and add them to the
kernel development book where it belongs.

Most of the stuff here is just to make Sphinx to properly
parse the text file, as they're already in good shape,
not requiring massive changes in order to be parsed.

The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fix tables markups;
  - add some lists markups;
  - mark literal blocks;
  - adjust title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

<title>locking/spinlocks: Clean up comment and #ifndef for {,queued_}spin_is_locked()</title>

Removes "#ifndef queued_spin_is_locked" from the generic code: this is
unused and it's reasonable to conclude that it will continue to be unused.

Also removes the comment about spin_is_locked() from mutex_is_locked():
the comment remains valid but not particularly useful.

Attempt to deter usage, this is not a public interface. It is entirely
possible to implement a conformant mutex without having this owner
