Nothing uses the argument. Remove it as preparation to use
pi_state_update_owner().

commit c1e2f0eaf015fb7076d51a339011f2383e6dd389 upstream.

Julia reported futex state corruption in the following scenario:

   waiter                                  waker                                            stealer (prio &gt; waiter)

   futex(WAIT_REQUEUE_PI, uaddr, uaddr2,
         timeout=[N ms])
      futex_wait_requeue_pi()
         futex_wait_queue_me()
            freezable_schedule()
            &lt;scheduled out&gt;
                                           futex(LOCK_PI, uaddr2)
                                           futex(CMP_REQUEUE_PI, uaddr,
                                                 uaddr2, 1, 0)
                                              /* requeues waiter to uaddr2 */
                                           futex(UNLOCK_PI, uaddr2)
                                                 wake_futex_pi()
                                                    cmp_futex_value_locked(uaddr2, waiter)
                                                    wake_up_q()
           &lt;woken by waker&gt;

                                                                                           futex(LOCK_PI, uaddr2)
                                                                                              __rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock()
                                                                                                 try_to_take_rt_mutex() /* steals lock */
                                                                                                    rt_mutex_set_owner(lock, stealer)
                                                                                              &lt;preempted&gt;
         &lt;scheduled in&gt;
         rt_mutex_wait_proxy_lock()
            __rt_mutex_slowlock()
               try_to_take_rt_mutex() /* fails, lock held by stealer */
               if (timeout &amp;&amp; !timeout-&gt;task)
                  return -ETIMEDOUT;
            fixup_owner()
               /* lock wasn't acquired, so,
                  fixup_pi_state_owner skipped */

   return -ETIMEDOUT;

   /* At this point, we've returned -ETIMEDOUT to userspace, but the
    * futex word shows waiter to be the owner, and the pi_mutex has
    * stealer as the owner */

   futex_lock(LOCK_PI, uaddr2)
     -&gt; bails with EDEADLK, futex word says we're owner.

And suggested that what commit:

  73d786bd043e ("futex: Rework inconsistent rt_mutex/futex_q state")

removes from fixup_owner() looks to be just what is needed. And indeed
it is -- I completely missed that requeue_pi could also result in this
case. So we need to restore that, except that subsequent patches, like
commit:

  16ffa12d7425 ("futex: Pull rt_mutex_futex_unlock() out from under hb-&gt;lock")

changed all the locking rules. Even without that, the sequence:

-               if (rt_mutex_futex_trylock(&amp;q-&gt;pi_state-&gt;pi_mutex)) {
-                       locked = 1;
-                       goto out;
-               }

-               raw_spin_lock_irq(&amp;q-&gt;pi_state-&gt;pi_mutex.wait_lock);
-               owner = rt_mutex_owner(&amp;q-&gt;pi_state-&gt;pi_mutex);
-               if (!owner)
-                       owner = rt_mutex_next_owner(&amp;q-&gt;pi_state-&gt;pi_mutex);
-               raw_spin_unlock_irq(&amp;q-&gt;pi_state-&gt;pi_mutex.wait_lock);
-               ret = fixup_pi_state_owner(uaddr, q, owner);

already suggests there were races; otherwise we'd never have to look
at next_owner.

So instead of doing 3 consecutive wait_lock sections with who knows
what races, we do it all in a single section. Additionally, the usage
of pi_state-&gt;owner in fixup_owner() was only safe because only the
rt_mutex owner would modify it, which this additional case wrecks.

Luckily the values can only change away and not to the value we're
testing, this means we can do a speculative test and double check once
we have the wait_lock.

[ Upstream commit 5293c2efda37775346885c7e924d4ef7018ea60b ]

Part of what makes futex_unlock_pi() intricate is that
rt_mutex_futex_unlock() -&gt; rt_mutex_slowunlock() can drop
rt_mutex::wait_lock.

This means it cannot rely on the atomicy of wait_lock, which would be
preferred in order to not rely on hb-&gt;lock so much.

The reason rt_mutex_slowunlock() needs to drop wait_lock is because it can
race with the rt_mutex fastpath, however futexes have their own fast path.

Since futexes already have a bunch of separate rt_mutex accessors, complete
that set and implement a rt_mutex variant without fastpath for them.

commit 38d589f2fd08f1296aea3ce62bebd185125c6d81 upstream.

With the ultimate goal of keeping rt_mutex wait_list and futex_q waiters
consistent it's necessary to split 'rt_mutex_futex_lock()' into finer
parts, such that only the actual blocking can be done without hb-&gt;lock
held.

Split split_mutex_finish_proxy_lock() into two parts, one that does the
blocking and one that does remove_waiter() when the lock acquire failed.

When the rtmutex was acquired successfully the waiter can be removed in the
acquisiton path safely, since there is no concurrency on the lock owner.

This means that, except for futex_lock_pi(), all wait_list modifications
are done with both hb-&gt;lock and wait_lock held.

commit dbb26055defd03d59f678cb5f2c992abe05b064a upstream.

David reported a futex/rtmutex state corruption. It's caused by the
following problem:

CPU0		CPU1		CPU2

l-&gt;owner=T1
		rt_mutex_lock(l)
		lock(l-&gt;wait_lock)
		l-&gt;owner = T1 | HAS_WAITERS;
		enqueue(T2)
		boost()
		  unlock(l-&gt;wait_lock)
		schedule()

				rt_mutex_lock(l)
				lock(l-&gt;wait_lock)
				l-&gt;owner = T1 | HAS_WAITERS;
				enqueue(T3)
				boost()
				  unlock(l-&gt;wait_lock)
				schedule()
		signal(-&gt;T2)	signal(-&gt;T3)
		lock(l-&gt;wait_lock)
		dequeue(T2)
		deboost()
		  unlock(l-&gt;wait_lock)
				lock(l-&gt;wait_lock)
				dequeue(T3)
				  ===&gt; wait list is now empty
				deboost()
				 unlock(l-&gt;wait_lock)
		lock(l-&gt;wait_lock)
		fixup_rt_mutex_waiters()
		  if (wait_list_empty(l)) {
		    owner = l-&gt;owner &amp; ~HAS_WAITERS;
		    l-&gt;owner = owner
		     ==&gt; l-&gt;owner = T1
		  }

				lock(l-&gt;wait_lock)
rt_mutex_unlock(l)		fixup_rt_mutex_waiters()
				  if (wait_list_empty(l)) {
				    owner = l-&gt;owner &amp; ~HAS_WAITERS;
cmpxchg(l-&gt;owner, T1, NULL)
 ===&gt; Success (l-&gt;owner = NULL)
				    l-&gt;owner = owner
				     ==&gt; l-&gt;owner = T1
				  }

That means the problem is caused by fixup_rt_mutex_waiters() which does the
RMW to clear the waiters bit unconditionally when there are no waiters in
the rtmutexes rbtree.

This can be fatal: A concurrent unlock can release the rtmutex in the
fastpath because the waiters bit is not set. If the cmpxchg() gets in the
middle of the RMW operation then the previous owner, which just unlocked
the rtmutex is set as the owner again when the write takes place after the
successfull cmpxchg().

The solution is rather trivial: verify that the owner member of the rtmutex
has the waiters bit set before clearing it. This does not require a
cmpxchg() or other atomic operations because the waiters bit can only be
set and cleared with the rtmutex wait_lock held. It's also safe against the
fast path unlock attempt. The unlock attempt via cmpxchg() will either see
the bit set and take the slowpath or see the bit cleared and release it
atomically in the fastpath.

It's remarkable that the test program provided by David triggers on ARM64
and MIPS64 really quick, but it refuses to reproduce on x86-64, while the
problem exists there as well. That refusal might explain that this got not
discovered earlier despite the bug existing from day one of the rtmutex
implementation more than 10 years ago.

Thanks to David for meticulously instrumenting the code and providing the
information which allowed to decode this subtle problem.

As of 654672d4ba1 (locking/atomics: Add _{acquire|release|relaxed}()
variants of some atomic operations) and 6d79ef2d30e (locking, asm-generic:
Add _{relaxed|acquire|release}() variants for 'atomic_long_t'), weakly
ordered archs can benefit from more relaxed use of barriers when locking
and unlocking, instead of regular full barrier semantics. While currently
only arm64 supports such optimizations, updating corresponding locking
primitives serves for other archs to immediately benefit as well, once the
necessary machinery is implemented of course.

rt_mutex_waiter_less() check of task deadlines is open coded. Since this
is subject to wraparound bugs, make it use the correct helper.

No one uses this anymore, and this is not the first time the
idea of replacing it with a (now possible) userspace side.
Lock stealing logic was removed long ago in when the lock
was granted to the highest prio.
