[ Upstream commit d9349850e188b8b59e5322fda17ff389a1c0cd7d ]

The sequence

	static DEFINE_WW_CLASS(test_ww_class);

	struct ww_acquire_ctx ww_ctx;
	struct ww_mutex ww_lock_a;
	struct ww_mutex ww_lock_b;
	struct ww_mutex ww_lock_c;
	struct mutex lock_c;

	ww_acquire_init(&amp;ww_ctx, &amp;test_ww_class);

	ww_mutex_init(&amp;ww_lock_a, &amp;test_ww_class);
	ww_mutex_init(&amp;ww_lock_b, &amp;test_ww_class);
	ww_mutex_init(&amp;ww_lock_c, &amp;test_ww_class);

	mutex_init(&amp;lock_c);

	ww_mutex_lock(&amp;ww_lock_a, &amp;ww_ctx);

	mutex_lock(&amp;lock_c);

	ww_mutex_lock(&amp;ww_lock_b, &amp;ww_ctx);
	ww_mutex_lock(&amp;ww_lock_c, &amp;ww_ctx);

	mutex_unlock(&amp;lock_c);	(*)

	ww_mutex_unlock(&amp;ww_lock_c);
	ww_mutex_unlock(&amp;ww_lock_b);
	ww_mutex_unlock(&amp;ww_lock_a);

	ww_acquire_fini(&amp;ww_ctx); (**)

will trigger the following error in __lock_release() when calling
mutex_release() at **:

	DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(depth &lt;= 0)

The problem is that the hlock merging happening at * updates the
references for test_ww_class incorrectly to 3 whereas it should've
updated it to 4 (representing all the instances for ww_ctx and
ww_lock_[abc]).

Fix this by updating the references during merging correctly taking into
account that we can have non-zero references (both for the hlock that we
merge into another hlock or for the hlock we are merging into).

This reverts commit 4a195a0bc2e954b91085d5c82eb20c51835ee7b0 which was
commit 71492580571467fb7177aade19c18ce7486267f5 upstream.

Tetsuo rightly points out that the backport here is incorrect, as it
touches the __lock_set_class function instead of the intended
__lock_downgrade function.

commit 71492580571467fb7177aade19c18ce7486267f5 upstream.

Tetsuo Handa had reported he saw an incorrect "downgrading a read lock"
warning right after a previous lockdep warning. It is likely that the
previous warning turned off lock debugging causing the lockdep to have
inconsistency states leading to the lock downgrade warning.

Fix that by add a check for debug_locks at the beginning of
__lock_downgrade().

<title>locking/lockdep: Fix debug_locks off performance problem</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 9506a7425b094d2f1d9c877ed5a78f416669269b ]

It was found that when debug_locks was turned off because of a problem
found by the lockdep code, the system performance could drop quite
significantly when the lock_stat code was also configured into the
kernel. For instance, parallel kernel build time on a 4-socket x86-64
server nearly doubled.

Further analysis into the cause of the slowdown traced back to the
frequent call to debug_locks_off() from the __lock_acquired() function
probably due to some inconsistent lockdep states with debug_locks
off. The debug_locks_off() function did an unconditional atomic xchg
to write a 0 value into debug_locks which had already been set to 0.
This led to severe cacheline contention in the cacheline that held
debug_locks.  As debug_locks is being referenced in quite a few different
places in the kernel, this greatly slow down the system performance.

To prevent that trashing of debug_locks cacheline, lock_acquired()
and lock_contended() now checks the state of debug_locks before
proceeding. The debug_locks_off() function is also modified to check
debug_locks before calling __debug_locks_off().

[ Upstream commit fcc784be837714a9173b372ff9fb9b514590dad9 ]

While debugging where things were going wrong with mapping
enabling/disabling interrupts with the lockdep state and actual real
enabling and disabling interrupts, I had to silent the IRQ
disabling/enabling in debug_check_no_locks_freed() because it was
always showing up as it was called before the splat was.

Use raw_local_irq_save/restore() for not only debug_check_no_locks_freed()
but for all internal lockdep functions, as they hide useful information
about where interrupts were used incorrectly last.

commit 4950276672fce5c241857540f8561c440663673d upstream.

Patch series "kmemcheck: kill kmemcheck", v2.

As discussed at LSF/MM, kill kmemcheck.

KASan is a replacement that is able to work without the limitation of
kmemcheck (single CPU, slow).  KASan is already upstream.

We are also not aware of any users of kmemcheck (or users who don't
consider KASan as a suitable replacement).

The only objection was that since KASAN wasn't supported by all GCC
versions provided by distros at that time we should hold off for 2
years, and try again.

Now that 2 years have passed, and all distros provide gcc that supports
KASAN, kill kmemcheck again for the very same reasons.

This patch (of 4):

Remove kmemcheck annotations, and calls to kmemcheck from the kernel.

<title>locking/lockdep: Fix stacktrace mess</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8b405d5c5d0996d3d16f70c42744a0500f5b6ec3</id>
<content type='text'>
There is some complication between check_prevs_add() and
check_prev_add() wrt. saving stack traces. The problem is that we want
to be frugal with saving stack traces, since it consumes static
resources.

We'll only know in check_prev_add() if we need the trace, but we can
call into it multiple times. So we want to do on-demand and re-use.

A further complication is that check_prev_add() can drop graph_lock
and mess with our static resources.

In any case, the current state; after commit:

  ce07a9415f26 ("locking/lockdep: Make check_prev_add() able to handle external stack_trace")

is that we'll assume the trace contains valid data once
check_prev_add() returns '2'. However, as noted by Josh, this is
false, check_prev_add() can return '2' before having saved a trace,
this then result in the possibility of using uninitialized data.
Testing, as reported by Wu, shows a NULL deref.

So simplify.

Since the graph_lock() thing is a debug path that hasn't
really been used in a long while, take it out back and avoid the
head-ache.

Further initialize the stack_trace to a known 'empty' state; as long
as nr_entries == 0, nothing should deref entries. We can then use the
'entries == NULL' test for a valid trace / on-demand saving.

Where XHLOCK_{SOFT,HARD} are save/restore points in the xhlocks[] to
ensure the temporal IRQ events don't interact with task state, the
XHLOCK_PROC is a fundament different beast that just happens to share
the interface.

The purpose of XHLOCK_PROC is to annotate independent execution inside
one task. For example workqueues, each work should appear to run in its
own 'pristine' 'task'.

Remove XHLOCK_PROC in favour of its own interface to avoid confusion.

<title>locking/lockdep: Fix workqueue crossrelease annotation</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e6f3faa734a00c606b7b06c6b9f15e5627d3245b</id>
<content type='text'>
The new completion/crossrelease annotations interact unfavourable with
the extant flush_work()/flush_workqueue() annotations.

The problem is that when a single work class does:

  wait_for_completion(&amp;C)

and

  complete(&amp;C)

in different executions, we'll build dependencies like:

  lock_map_acquire(W)
  complete_acquire(C)

and

  lock_map_acquire(W)
  complete_release(C)

which results in the dependency chain: W-&gt;C-&gt;W, which lockdep thinks
spells deadlock, even though there is no deadlock potential since
works are ran concurrently.

One possibility would be to change the work 'lock' to recursive-read,
but that would mean hitting a lockdep limitation on recursive locks.
Also, unconditinoally switching to recursive-read here would fail to
detect the actual deadlock on single-threaded workqueues, which do
have a problem with this.

For now, forcefully disregard these locks for crossrelease.
