FUTEX: new PRIVATE futexes Analysis of current linux futex code : -------------------------------------- A central hash table futex_queues[] holds all contexts (futex_q) of waiting threads. Each futex_wait()/futex_wait() has to obtain a spinlock on a hash slot to perform lookups or insert/deletion of a futex_q. When a futex_wait() is done, calling thread has to : 1) - Obtain a read lock on mmap_sem to be able to validate the user pointer (calling find_vma()). This validation tells us if the futex uses an inode based store (mapped file), or mm based store (anonymous mem) 2) - compute a hash key 3) - Atomic increment of reference counter on an inode or a mm_struct 4) - lock part of futex_queues[] hash table 5) - perform the test on value of futex. (rollback is value != expected_value, returns EWOULDBLOCK) (various loops if test triggers mm faults) 6) queue the context into hash table, release the lock got in 4) 7) - release the read_lock on mmap_sem <block> 8) Eventually unqueue the context (but rarely, as this part  may be done by the futex_wake()) Futexes were designed to improve scalability but current implementation has various problems : - Central hashtable : This means scalability problems if many processes/threads want to use futexes at the same time. This means NUMA unbalance because this hashtable is located on one node. - Using mmap_sem on every futex() syscall : Even if mmap_sem is a rw_semaphore, up_read()/down_read() are doing atomic ops on mmap_sem, dirtying cache line : - lot of cache line ping pongs on SMP configurations. mmap_sem is also extensively used by mm code (page faults, mmap()/munmap()) Highly threaded processes might suffer from mmap_sem contention. mmap_sem is also used by oprofile code. Enabling oprofile hurts threaded programs because of contention on the mmap_sem cache line. - Using an atomic_inc()/atomic_dec() on inode ref counter or mm ref counter: It's also a cache line ping pong on SMP. It also increases mmap_sem hold time because of cache misses. Most of these scalability problems come from the fact that futexes are in one global namespace. As we use a central hash table, we must make sure they are all using the same reference (given by the mm subsystem). We chose to force all futexes be 'shared'. This has a cost. But fact is POSIX defined PRIVATE and SHARED, allowing clear separation, and optimal performance if carefuly implemented. Time has come for linux to have better threading performance. The goal is to permit new futex commands to avoid : - Taking the mmap_sem semaphore, conflicting with other subsystems. - Modifying a ref_count on mm or an inode, still conflicting with mm or fs. This is possible because, for one process using PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE futexes, we only need to distinguish futexes by their virtual address, no matter the underlying mm storage is. If glibc wants to exploit this new infrastructure, it should use new _PRIVATE futex subcommands for PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE futexes. And be prepared to fallback on old subcommands for old kernels. Using one global variable with the FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG or 0 value should be OK. PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED futexes should still use the old subcommands. Compatibility with old applications is preserved, they still hit the scalability problems, but new applications can fly :) Note : the same SHARED futex (mapped on a file) can be used by old binaries *and* new binaries, because both binaries will use the old subcommands. Note : Vast majority of futexes should be using PROCESS_PRIVATE semantic, as this is the default semantic. Almost all applications should benefit of this changes (new kernel and updated libc) Some bench results on a Pentium M 1.6 GHz (SMP kernel on a UP machine) /* calling futex_wait(addr, value) with value != *addr */ 433 cycles per futex(FUTEX_WAIT) call (mixing 2 futexes) 424 cycles per futex(FUTEX_WAIT) call (using one futex) 334 cycles per futex(FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE) call (mixing 2 futexes) 334 cycles per futex(FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE) call (using one futex) For reference : 187 cycles per getppid() call 188 cycles per umask() call 181 cycles per ni_syscall() call Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Pierre Peiffer <pierre.peiffer@bull.net> Cc: "Ulrich Drepper" <drepper@gmail.com> Cc: "Nick Piggin" <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au> Cc: "Ingo Molnar" <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

futex: add requeue_pi functionality PI Futexes and their underlying rt_mutex cannot be left ownerless if there are pending waiters as this will break the PI boosting logic, so the standard requeue commands aren't sufficient. The new commands properly manage pi futex ownership by ensuring a futex with waiters has an owner at all times. This will allow glibc to properly handle pi mutexes with pthread_condvars. The approach taken here is to create two new futex op codes: FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI: Tasks will use this op code to wait on a futex (such as a non-pi waitqueue) and wake after they have been requeued to a pi futex. Prior to returning to userspace, they will acquire this pi futex (and the underlying rt_mutex). futex_wait_requeue_pi() is the result of a high speed collision between futex_wait() and futex_lock_pi() (with the first part of futex_lock_pi() being done by futex_proxy_trylock_atomic() on behalf of the top_waiter). FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI (and FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI): This call must be used to wake tasks waiting with FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI, regardless of how many tasks the caller intends to wake or requeue. pthread_cond_broadcast() should call this with nr_wake=1 and nr_requeue=INT_MAX. pthread_cond_signal() should call this with nr_wake=1 and nr_requeue=0. The reason being we need both callers to get the benefit of the futex_proxy_trylock_atomic() routine. futex_requeue() also enqueues the top_waiter on the rt_mutex via rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock().

* This would cause the waiter on CPU 0 to wait forever because it

futex: runtime enable pi and robust functionality Not all architectures implement futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(). The default implementation returns -ENOSYS, which is currently not handled inside of the futex guts. Futex PI calls and robust list exits with a held futex result in an endless loop in the futex code on architectures which have no support. Fixing up every place where futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() is called would add a fair amount of extra if/else constructs to the already complex code. It is also not possible to disable the robust feature before user space tries to register robust lists. Compile time disabling is not a good idea either, as there are already architectures with runtime detection of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic support. Detect the functionality at runtime instead by calling cmpxchg_futex_value_locked() with a NULL pointer from the futex initialization code. This is guaranteed to fail, but the call of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() happens with pagefaults disabled. On architectures, which use the asm-generic implementation or have a runtime CPU feature detection, a -ENOSYS return value disables the PI/robust features. On architectures with a working implementation the call returns -EFAULT and the PI/robust features are enabled. The relevant syscalls return -ENOSYS and the robust list exit code is blocked, when the detection fails.

futex: Prevent requeue_pi() lock nesting issue on RT The requeue_pi() operation on RT kernels creates a problem versus the task::pi_blocked_on state when a waiter is woken early (signal, timeout) and that early wake up interleaves with the requeue_pi() operation. When the requeue manages to block the waiter on the rtmutex which is associated to the second futex, then a concurrent early wakeup of that waiter faces the problem that it has to acquire the hash bucket spinlock, which is not an issue on non-RT kernels, but on RT kernels spinlocks are substituted by 'sleeping' spinlocks based on rtmutex. If the hash bucket lock is contended then blocking on that spinlock would result in a impossible situation: blocking on two locks at the same time (the hash bucket lock and the rtmutex representing the PI futex). It was considered to make the hash bucket locks raw_spinlocks, but especially requeue operations with a large amount of waiters can introduce significant latencies, so that's not an option for RT. The RT tree carried a solution which (ab)used task::pi_blocked_on to store the information about an ongoing requeue and an early wakeup which worked, but required to add checks for these special states all over the place. The distangling of an early wakeup of a waiter for a requeue_pi() operation is already looking at quite some different states and the task::pi_blocked_on magic just expanded that to a hard to understand 'state machine'. This can be avoided by keeping track of the waiter/requeue state in the futex_q object itself. Add a requeue_state field to struct futex_q with the following possible states: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE Q_REQUEUE_PI_LOCKED The waiter starts with state = NONE and the following state transitions are valid: On the waiter side: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT On the requeue side: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_INPROGRESS Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE/LOCKED Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE (requeue failed) Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE/LOCKED Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE (requeue failed) The requeue side ignores a waiter with state Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE as this signals that the waiter is already on the way out. It also means that the waiter is still on the 'wait' futex, i.e. uaddr1. The waiter side signals early wakeup to the requeue side either through setting state to Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE or to Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT depending on the current state. In case of Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE it can immediately proceed to take the hash bucket lock of uaddr1. If it set state to WAIT, which means the wakeup is interleaving with a requeue in progress it has to wait for the requeue side to change the state. Either to DONE/LOCKED or to IGNORE. DONE/LOCKED means the waiter q is now on the uaddr2 futex and either blocked (DONE) or has acquired it (LOCKED). IGNORE is set by the requeue side when the requeue attempt failed via deadlock detection and therefore the waiter's futex_q is still on the uaddr1 futex. While this is not strictly required on !RT making this unconditional has the benefit of common code and it also allows the waiter to avoid taking the hash bucket lock on the way out in certain cases, which reduces contention. Add the required helpers required for the state transitions, invoke them at the right places and restructure the futex_wait_requeue_pi() code to handle the return from wait (early or not) based on the state machine values. On !RT enabled kernels the waiter spin waits for the state going from Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT to some other state, on RT enabled kernels this is handled by rcuwait_wait_event() and the corresponding wake up on the requeue side.

futexes: Increase hash table size for better performance Currently, the futex global hash table suffers from its fixed, smallish (for today's standards) size of 256 entries, as well as its lack of NUMA awareness. Large systems, using many futexes, can be prone to high amounts of collisions; where these futexes hash to the same bucket and lead to extra contention on the same hb->lock. Furthermore, cacheline bouncing is a reality when we have multiple hb->locks residing on the same cacheline and different futexes hash to adjacent buckets. This patch keeps the current static size of 16 entries for small systems, or otherwise, 256 * ncpus (or larger as we need to round the number to a power of 2). Note that this number of CPUs accounts for all CPUs that can ever be available in the system, taking into consideration things like hotpluging. While we do impose extra overhead at bootup by making the hash table larger, this is a one time thing, and does not shadow the benefits of this patch. Furthermore, as suggested by tglx, by cache aligning the hash buckets we can avoid access across cacheline boundaries and also avoid massive cache line bouncing if multiple cpus are hammering away at different hash buckets which happen to reside in the same cache line. Also, similar to other core kernel components (pid, dcache, tcp), by using alloc_large_system_hash() we benefit from its NUMA awareness and thus the table is distributed among the nodes instead of in a single one. For a custom microbenchmark that pounds on the uaddr hashing -- making the wait path fail at futex_wait_setup() returning -EWOULDBLOCK for large amounts of futexes, we can see the following benefits on a 80-core, 8-socket 1Tb server: +---------+--------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------+ | threads | baseline (ops/sec) | aligned-only (ops/sec) | large table (ops/sec) | large table+aligned (ops/sec) | +---------+--------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------+ |     512 |              32426 | 50531  (+55.8%)        | 255274  (+687.2%)     | 292553  (+802.2%)             | |     256 |              65360 | 99588  (+52.3%)        | 443563  (+578.6%)     | 508088  (+677.3%)             | |     128 |             125635 | 200075 (+59.2%)        | 742613  (+491.1%)     | 835452  (+564.9%)             | |      80 |             193559 | 323425 (+67.1%)        | 1028147 (+431.1%)     | 1130304 (+483.9%)             | |      64 |             247667 | 443740 (+79.1%)        | 997300  (+302.6%)     | 1145494 (+362.5%)             | |      32 |             628412 | 721401 (+14.7%)        | 965996  (+53.7%)      | 1122115 (+78.5%)              | +---------+--------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------+ Reviewed-by: Darren Hart <dvhart@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Paul E.

futexes: Increase hash table size for better performance Currently, the futex global hash table suffers from its fixed, smallish (for today's standards) size of 256 entries, as well as its lack of NUMA awareness. Large systems, using many futexes, can be prone to high amounts of collisions; where these futexes hash to the same bucket and lead to extra contention on the same hb->lock. Furthermore, cacheline bouncing is a reality when we have multiple hb->locks residing on the same cacheline and different futexes hash to adjacent buckets. This patch keeps the current static size of 16 entries for small systems, or otherwise, 256 * ncpus (or larger as we need to round the number to a power of 2). Note that this number of CPUs accounts for all CPUs that can ever be available in the system, taking into consideration things like hotpluging. While we do impose extra overhead at bootup by making the hash table larger, this is a one time thing, and does not shadow the benefits of this patch. Furthermore, as suggested by tglx, by cache aligning the hash buckets we can avoid access across cacheline boundaries and also avoid massive cache line bouncing if multiple cpus are hammering away at different hash buckets which happen to reside in the same cache line. Also, similar to other core kernel components (pid, dcache, tcp), by using alloc_large_system_hash() we benefit from its NUMA awareness and thus the table is distributed among the nodes instead of in a single one. For a custom microbenchmark that pounds on the uaddr hashing -- making the wait path fail at futex_wait_setup() returning -EWOULDBLOCK for large amounts of futexes, we can see the following benefits on a 80-core, 8-socket 1Tb server: +---------+--------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------+ | threads | baseline (ops/sec) | aligned-only (ops/sec) | large table (ops/sec) | large table+aligned (ops/sec) | +---------+--------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------+ |     512 |              32426 | 50531  (+55.8%)        | 255274  (+687.2%)     | 292553  (+802.2%)             | |     256 |              65360 | 99588  (+52.3%)        | 443563  (+578.6%)     | 508088  (+677.3%)             | |     128 |             125635 | 200075 (+59.2%)        | 742613  (+491.1%)     | 835452  (+564.9%)             | |      80 |             193559 | 323425 (+67.1%)        | 1028147 (+431.1%)     | 1130304 (+483.9%)             | |      64 |             247667 | 443740 (+79.1%)        | 997300  (+302.6%)     | 1145494 (+362.5%)             | |      32 |             628412 | 721401 (+14.7%)        | 965996  (+53.7%)      | 1122115 (+78.5%)              | +---------+--------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------+ Reviewed-by: Darren Hart <dvhart@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Paul E.

FUTEX: new PRIVATE futexes Analysis of current linux futex code : -------------------------------------- A central hash table futex_queues[] holds all contexts (futex_q) of waiting threads. Each futex_wait()/futex_wait() has to obtain a spinlock on a hash slot to perform lookups or insert/deletion of a futex_q. When a futex_wait() is done, calling thread has to : 1) - Obtain a read lock on mmap_sem to be able to validate the user pointer (calling find_vma()). This validation tells us if the futex uses an inode based store (mapped file), or mm based store (anonymous mem) 2) - compute a hash key 3) - Atomic increment of reference counter on an inode or a mm_struct 4) - lock part of futex_queues[] hash table 5) - perform the test on value of futex. (rollback is value != expected_value, returns EWOULDBLOCK) (various loops if test triggers mm faults) 6) queue the context into hash table, release the lock got in 4) 7) - release the read_lock on mmap_sem <block> 8) Eventually unqueue the context (but rarely, as this part  may be done by the futex_wake()) Futexes were designed to improve scalability but current implementation has various problems : - Central hashtable : This means scalability problems if many processes/threads want to use futexes at the same time. This means NUMA unbalance because this hashtable is located on one node. - Using mmap_sem on every futex() syscall : Even if mmap_sem is a rw_semaphore, up_read()/down_read() are doing atomic ops on mmap_sem, dirtying cache line : - lot of cache line ping pongs on SMP configurations. mmap_sem is also extensively used by mm code (page faults, mmap()/munmap()) Highly threaded processes might suffer from mmap_sem contention. mmap_sem is also used by oprofile code. Enabling oprofile hurts threaded programs because of contention on the mmap_sem cache line. - Using an atomic_inc()/atomic_dec() on inode ref counter or mm ref counter: It's also a cache line ping pong on SMP. It also increases mmap_sem hold time because of cache misses. Most of these scalability problems come from the fact that futexes are in one global namespace. As we use a central hash table, we must make sure they are all using the same reference (given by the mm subsystem). We chose to force all futexes be 'shared'. This has a cost. But fact is POSIX defined PRIVATE and SHARED, allowing clear separation, and optimal performance if carefuly implemented. Time has come for linux to have better threading performance. The goal is to permit new futex commands to avoid : - Taking the mmap_sem semaphore, conflicting with other subsystems. - Modifying a ref_count on mm or an inode, still conflicting with mm or fs. This is possible because, for one process using PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE futexes, we only need to distinguish futexes by their virtual address, no matter the underlying mm storage is. If glibc wants to exploit this new infrastructure, it should use new _PRIVATE futex subcommands for PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE futexes. And be prepared to fallback on old subcommands for old kernels. Using one global variable with the FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG or 0 value should be OK. PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED futexes should still use the old subcommands. Compatibility with old applications is preserved, they still hit the scalability problems, but new applications can fly :) Note : the same SHARED futex (mapped on a file) can be used by old binaries *and* new binaries, because both binaries will use the old subcommands. Note : Vast majority of futexes should be using PROCESS_PRIVATE semantic, as this is the default semantic. Almost all applications should benefit of this changes (new kernel and updated libc) Some bench results on a Pentium M 1.6 GHz (SMP kernel on a UP machine) /* calling futex_wait(addr, value) with value != *addr */ 433 cycles per futex(FUTEX_WAIT) call (mixing 2 futexes) 424 cycles per futex(FUTEX_WAIT) call (using one futex) 334 cycles per futex(FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE) call (mixing 2 futexes) 334 cycles per futex(FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE) call (using one futex) For reference : 187 cycles per getppid() call 188 cycles per umask() call 181 cycles per ni_syscall() call Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Pierre Peiffer <pierre.peiffer@bull.net> Cc: "Ulrich Drepper" <drepper@gmail.com> Cc: "Nick Piggin" <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au> Cc: "Ingo Molnar" <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

(rollback is value != expected_value, returns EWOULDBLOCK) (various loops if test triggers mm faults) 6) queue the context into hash table, release the lock got in 4) 7) - release the read_lock on mmap_sem <block> 8) Eventually unqueue the context (but rarely, as this part  may be done by the futex_wake()) Futexes were designed to improve scalability but current implementation has various problems : - Central hashtable : This means scalability problems if many processes/threads want to use futexes at the same time. This means NUMA unbalance because this hashtable is located on one node. - Using mmap_sem on every futex() syscall : Even if mmap_sem is a rw_semaphore, up_read()/down_read() are doing atomic ops on mmap_sem, dirtying cache line : - lot of cache line ping pongs on SMP configurations. mmap_sem is also extensively used by mm code (page faults, mmap()/munmap()) Highly threaded processes might suffer from mmap_sem contention. mmap_sem is also used by oprofile code. Enabling oprofile hurts threaded programs because of contention on the mmap_sem cache line. - Using an atomic_inc()/atomic_dec() on inode ref counter or mm ref counter: It's also a cache line ping pong on SMP. It also increases mmap_sem hold time because of cache misses. Most of these scalability problems come from the fact that futexes are in one global namespace. As we use a central hash table, we must make sure they are all using the same reference (given by the mm subsystem). We chose to force all futexes be 'shared'. This has a cost. But fact is POSIX defined PRIVATE and SHARED, allowing clear separation, and optimal performance if carefuly implemented. Time has come for linux to have better threading performance. The goal is to permit new futex commands to avoid : - Taking the mmap_sem semaphore, conflicting with other subsystems. - Modifying a ref_count on mm or an inode, still conflicting with mm or fs. This is possible because, for one process using PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE futexes, we only need to distinguish futexes by their virtual address, no matter the underlying mm storage is. If glibc wants to exploit this new infrastructure, it should use new _PRIVATE futex subcommands for PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE futexes. And be prepared to fallback on old subcommands for old kernels. Using one global variable with the FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG or 0 value should be OK. PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED futexes should still use the old subcommands. Compatibility with old applications is preserved, they still hit the scalability problems, but new applications can fly :) Note : the same SHARED futex (mapped on a file) can be used by old binaries *and* new binaries, because both binaries will use the old subcommands. Note : Vast majority of futexes should be using PROCESS_PRIVATE semantic, as this is the default semantic. Almost all applications should benefit of this changes (new kernel and updated libc) Some bench results on a Pentium M 1.6 GHz (SMP kernel on a UP machine) /* calling futex_wait(addr, value) with value != *addr */ 433 cycles per futex(FUTEX_WAIT) call (mixing 2 futexes) 424 cycles per futex(FUTEX_WAIT) call (using one futex) 334 cycles per futex(FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE) call (mixing 2 futexes) 334 cycles per futex(FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE) call (using one futex) For reference : 187 cycles per getppid() call 188 cycles per umask() call 181 cycles per ni_syscall() call Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Pierre Peiffer <pierre.peiffer@bull.net> Cc: "Ulrich Drepper" <drepper@gmail.com> Cc: "Nick Piggin" <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au> Cc: "Ingo Molnar" <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

[PATCH] pi-futex: futex code cleanups We are pleased to announce "lightweight userspace priority inheritance" (PI) support for futexes. The following patchset and glibc patch implements it, ontop of the robust-futexes patchset which is included in 2.6.16-mm1. We are calling it lightweight for 3 reasons: - in the user-space fastpath a PI-enabled futex involves no kernel work (or any other PI complexity) at all. No registration, no extra kernel calls - just pure fast atomic ops in userspace. - in the slowpath (in the lock-contention case), the system call and scheduling pattern is in fact better than that of normal futexes, due to the 'integrated' nature of FUTEX_LOCK_PI. [more about that further down] - the in-kernel PI implementation is streamlined around the mutex abstraction, with strict rules that keep the implementation relatively simple: only a single owner may own a lock (i.e. no read-write lock support), only the owner may unlock a lock, no recursive locking, etc. Priority Inheritance - why, oh why??? ------------------------------------- Many of you heard the horror stories about the evil PI code circling Linux for years, which makes no real sense at all and is only used by buggy applications and which has horrible overhead. Some of you have dreaded this very moment, when someone actually submits working PI code ;-) So why would we like to see PI support for futexes? We'd like to see it done purely for technological reasons. We dont think it's a buggy concept, we think it's useful functionality to offer to applications, which functionality cannot be achieved in other ways. We also think it's the right thing to do, and we think we've got the right arguments and the right numbers to prove that. We also believe that we can address all the counter-arguments as well. For these reasons (and the reasons outlined below) we are submitting this patch-set for upstream kernel inclusion. What are the benefits of PI? The short reply: ---------------- User-space PI helps achieving/improving determinism for user-space applications. In the best-case, it can help achieve determinism and well-bound latencies. Even in the worst-case, PI will improve the statistical distribution of locking related application delays. The longer reply: ----------------- Firstly, sharing locks between multiple tasks is a common programming technique that often cannot be replaced with lockless algorithms. As we can see it in the kernel [which is a quite complex program in itself], lockless structures are rather the exception than the norm - the current ratio of lockless vs. locky code for shared data structures is somewhere between 1:10 and 1:100. Lockless is hard, and the complexity of lockless algorithms often endangers to ability to do robust reviews of said code. I.e. critical RT apps often choose lock structures to protect critical data structures, instead of lockless algorithms. Furthermore, there are cases (like shared hardware, or other resource limits) where lockless access is mathematically impossible. Media players (such as Jack) are an example of reasonable application design with multiple tasks (with multiple priority levels) sharing short-held locks: for example, a highprio audio playback thread is combined with medium-prio construct-audio-data threads and low-prio display-colory-stuff threads. Add video and decoding to the mix and we've got even more priority levels. So once we accept that synchronization objects (locks) are an unavoidable fact of life, and once we accept that multi-task userspace apps have a very fair expectation of being able to use locks, we've got to think about how to offer the option of a deterministic locking implementation to user-space. Most of the technical counter-arguments against doing priority inheritance only apply to kernel-space locks. But user-space locks are different, there we cannot disable interrupts or make the task non-preemptible in a critical section, so the 'use spinlocks' argument does not apply (user-space spinlocks have the same priority inversion problems as other user-space locking constructs). Fact is, pretty much the only technique that currently enables good determinism for userspace locks (such as futex-based pthread mutexes) is priority inheritance: Currently (without PI), if a high-prio and a low-prio task shares a lock [this is a quite common scenario for most non-trivial RT applications], even if all critical sections are coded carefully to be deterministic (i.e. all critical sections are short in duration and only execute a limited number of instructions), the kernel cannot guarantee any deterministic execution of the high-prio task: any medium-priority task could preempt the low-prio task while it holds the shared lock and executes the critical section, and could delay it indefinitely. Implementation: --------------- As mentioned before, the userspace fastpath of PI-enabled pthread mutexes involves no kernel work at all - they behave quite similarly to normal futex-based locks: a 0 value means unlocked, and a value==TID means locked. (This is the same method as used by list-based robust futexes.) Userspace uses atomic ops to lock/unlock these mutexes without entering the kernel. To handle the slowpath, we have added two new futex ops: FUTEX_LOCK_PI FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI If the lock-acquire fastpath fails, [i.e. an atomic transition from 0 to TID fails], then FUTEX_LOCK_PI is called. The kernel does all the remaining work: if there is no futex-queue attached to the futex address yet then the code looks up the task that owns the futex [it has put its own TID into the futex value], and attaches a 'PI state' structure to the futex-queue. The pi_state includes an rt-mutex, which is a PI-aware, kernel-based synchronization object. The 'other' task is made the owner of the rt-mutex, and the FUTEX_WAITERS bit is atomically set in the futex value. Then this task tries to lock the rt-mutex, on which it blocks. Once it returns, it has the mutex acquired, and it sets the futex value to its own TID and returns. Userspace has no other work to perform - it now owns the lock, and futex value contains FUTEX_WAITERS|TID. If the unlock side fastpath succeeds, [i.e. userspace manages to do a TID -> 0 atomic transition of the futex value], then no kernel work is triggered. If the unlock fastpath fails (because the FUTEX_WAITERS bit is set), then FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI is called, and the kernel unlocks the futex on the behalf of userspace - and it also unlocks the attached pi_state->rt_mutex and thus wakes up any potential waiters. Note that under this approach, contrary to other PI-futex approaches, there is no prior 'registration' of a PI-futex. [which is not quite possible anyway, due to existing ABI properties of pthread mutexes.] Also, under this scheme, 'robustness' and 'PI' are two orthogonal properties of futexes, and all four combinations are possible: futex, robust-futex, PI-futex, robust+PI-futex. glibc support: -------------- Ulrich Drepper and Jakub Jelinek have written glibc support for PI-futexes (and robust futexes), enabling robust and PI (PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT) POSIX mutexes. (PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT support will be added later on too, no additional kernel changes are needed for that). [NOTE: The glibc patch is obviously inofficial and unsupported without matching upstream kernel functionality.] the patch-queue and the glibc patch can also be downloaded from: http://redhat.com/~mingo/PI-futex-patches/ Many thanks go to the people who helped us create this kernel feature: Steven Rostedt, Esben Nielsen, Benedikt Spranger, Daniel Walker, John Cooper, Arjan van de Ven, Oleg Nesterov and others. Credits for related prior projects goes to Dirk Grambow, Inaky Perez-Gonzalez, Bill Huey and many others. Clean up the futex code, before adding more features to it: - use u32 as the futex field type - that's the ABI - use __user and pointers to u32 instead of unsigned long - code style / comment style cleanups - rename hash-bucket name from 'bh' to 'hb'.

futex: Calculate the futex key based on a tail page for file-based futexes Mike Galbraith reported that the LTP test case futex_wake04 was broken by commit 65d8fc777f6d ("futex: Remove requirement for lock_page() in get_futex_key()"). This test case uses futexes backed by hugetlbfs pages and so there is an associated inode with a futex stored on such pages. The problem is that the key is being calculated based on the head page index of the hugetlbfs page and not the tail page. Prior to the optimisation, the page lock was used to stabilise mappings and pin the inode is file-backed which is overkill. If the page was a compound page, the head page was automatically looked up as part of the page lock operation but the tail page index was used to calculate the futex key. After the optimisation, the compound head is looked up early and the page lock is only relied upon to identify truncated pages, special pages or a shmem page moving to swapcache. The head page is looked up because without the page lock, special care has to be taken to pin the inode correctly. However, the tail page is still required to calculate the futex key so this patch records the tail page. On vanilla 4.6, the output of the test case is; futex_wake04 0 TINFO : Hugepagesize 2097152 futex_wake04 1 TFAIL : futex_wake04.c:126: Bug: wait_thread2 did not wake after 30 secs.

futex: Fix regression with read only mappings commit 7485d0d3758e8e6491a5c9468114e74dc050785d (futexes: Remove rw parameter from get_futex_key()) in 2.6.33 fixed two problems: First, It prevented a loop when encountering a ZERO_PAGE. Second, it fixed RW MAP_PRIVATE futex operations by forcing the COW to occur by unconditionally performing a write access get_user_pages_fast() to get the page. The commit also introduced a user-mode regression in that it broke futex operations on read-only memory maps. For example, this breaks workloads that have one or more reader processes doing a FUTEX_WAIT on a futex within a read only shared file mapping, and a writer processes that has a writable mapping issuing the FUTEX_WAKE. This fixes the regression for valid futex operations on RO mappings by trying a RO get_user_pages_fast() when the RW get_user_pages_fast() fails. This change makes it necessary to also check for invalid use cases, such as anonymous RO mappings (which can never change) and the ZERO_PAGE which the commit referenced above was written to address. This patch does restore the original behavior with RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings, which have inherent user-mode usage problems and don't really make sense. With this patch performing a FUTEX_WAIT within a RO MAP_PRIVATE mapping will be successfully woken provided another process updates the region of the underlying mapped file. However, the mmap() man page states that for a MAP_PRIVATE mapping: It is unspecified whether changes made to the file after the mmap() call are visible in the mapped region. So user-mode users attempting to use futex operations on RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings are depending on unspecified behavior. Additionally a RO MAP_PRIVATE mapping could fail to wake up in the following case. Thread-A: call futex(FUTEX_WAIT, memory-region-A). get_futex_key() return inode based key. sleep on the key Thread-B: call mprotect(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, memory-region-A) Thread-B: write memory-region-A. COW happen. This process's memory-region-A become related to new COWed private (ie PageAnon=1) page. Thread-B: call futex(FUETX_WAKE, memory-region-A). get_futex_key() return mm based key. IOW, we fail to wake up Thread-A. Once again doing something like this is just silly and users who do something like this get what they deserve. While RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings are nonsensical, checking for a private mapping requires walking the vmas and was deemed too costly to avoid a userspace hang. This Patch is based on Peter Zijlstra's initial patch with modifications to only allow RO mappings for futex operations that need VERIFY_READ access.

FUTEX: new PRIVATE futexes Analysis of current linux futex code : -------------------------------------- A central hash table futex_queues[] holds all contexts (futex_q) of waiting threads. Each futex_wait()/futex_wait() has to obtain a spinlock on a hash slot to perform lookups or insert/deletion of a futex_q. When a futex_wait() is done, calling thread has to : 1) - Obtain a read lock on mmap_sem to be able to validate the user pointer (calling find_vma()). This validation tells us if the futex uses an inode based store (mapped file), or mm based store (anonymous mem) 2) - compute a hash key 3) - Atomic increment of reference counter on an inode or a mm_struct 4) - lock part of futex_queues[] hash table 5) - perform the test on value of futex. (rollback is value != expected_value, returns EWOULDBLOCK) (various loops if test triggers mm faults) 6) queue the context into hash table, release the lock got in 4) 7) - release the read_lock on mmap_sem <block> 8) Eventually unqueue the context (but rarely, as this part  may be done by the futex_wake()) Futexes were designed to improve scalability but current implementation has various problems : - Central hashtable : This means scalability problems if many processes/threads want to use futexes at the same time. This means NUMA unbalance because this hashtable is located on one node. - Using mmap_sem on every futex() syscall : Even if mmap_sem is a rw_semaphore, up_read()/down_read() are doing atomic ops on mmap_sem, dirtying cache line : - lot of cache line ping pongs on SMP configurations. mmap_sem is also extensively used by mm code (page faults, mmap()/munmap()) Highly threaded processes might suffer from mmap_sem contention. mmap_sem is also used by oprofile code. Enabling oprofile hurts threaded programs because of contention on the mmap_sem cache line. - Using an atomic_inc()/atomic_dec() on inode ref counter or mm ref counter: It's also a cache line ping pong on SMP. It also increases mmap_sem hold time because of cache misses. Most of these scalability problems come from the fact that futexes are in one global namespace. As we use a central hash table, we must make sure they are all using the same reference (given by the mm subsystem). We chose to force all futexes be 'shared'. This has a cost. But fact is POSIX defined PRIVATE and SHARED, allowing clear separation, and optimal performance if carefuly implemented. Time has come for linux to have better threading performance. The goal is to permit new futex commands to avoid : - Taking the mmap_sem semaphore, conflicting with other subsystems. - Modifying a ref_count on mm or an inode, still conflicting with mm or fs. This is possible because, for one process using PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE futexes, we only need to distinguish futexes by their virtual address, no matter the underlying mm storage is. If glibc wants to exploit this new infrastructure, it should use new _PRIVATE futex subcommands for PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE futexes. And be prepared to fallback on old subcommands for old kernels. Using one global variable with the FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG or 0 value should be OK. PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED futexes should still use the old subcommands.

[PATCH] pi-futex: futex code cleanups We are pleased to announce "lightweight userspace priority inheritance" (PI) support for futexes. The following patchset and glibc patch implements it, ontop of the robust-futexes patchset which is included in 2.6.16-mm1. We are calling it lightweight for 3 reasons: - in the user-space fastpath a PI-enabled futex involves no kernel work (or any other PI complexity) at all. No registration, no extra kernel calls - just pure fast atomic ops in userspace. - in the slowpath (in the lock-contention case), the system call and scheduling pattern is in fact better than that of normal futexes, due to the 'integrated' nature of FUTEX_LOCK_PI. [more about that further down] - the in-kernel PI implementation is streamlined around the mutex abstraction, with strict rules that keep the implementation relatively simple: only a single owner may own a lock (i.e. no read-write lock support), only the owner may unlock a lock, no recursive locking, etc. Priority Inheritance - why, oh why??? ------------------------------------- Many of you heard the horror stories about the evil PI code circling Linux for years, which makes no real sense at all and is only used by buggy applications and which has horrible overhead. Some of you have dreaded this very moment, when someone actually submits working PI code ;-) So why would we like to see PI support for futexes? We'd like to see it done purely for technological reasons. We dont think it's a buggy concept, we think it's useful functionality to offer to applications, which functionality cannot be achieved in other ways. We also think it's the right thing to do, and we think we've got the right arguments and the right numbers to prove that. We also believe that we can address all the counter-arguments as well. For these reasons (and the reasons outlined below) we are submitting this patch-set for upstream kernel inclusion. What are the benefits of PI? The short reply: ---------------- User-space PI helps achieving/improving determinism for user-space applications. In the best-case, it can help achieve determinism and well-bound latencies. Even in the worst-case, PI will improve the statistical distribution of locking related application delays. The longer reply: ----------------- Firstly, sharing locks between multiple tasks is a common programming technique that often cannot be replaced with lockless algorithms. As we can see it in the kernel [which is a quite complex program in itself], lockless structures are rather the exception than the norm - the current ratio of lockless vs. locky code for shared data structures is somewhere between 1:10 and 1:100. Lockless is hard, and the complexity of lockless algorithms often endangers to ability to do robust reviews of said code. I.e. critical RT apps often choose lock structures to protect critical data structures, instead of lockless algorithms. Furthermore, there are cases (like shared hardware, or other resource limits) where lockless access is mathematically impossible. Media players (such as Jack) are an example of reasonable application design with multiple tasks (with multiple priority levels) sharing short-held locks: for example, a highprio audio playback thread is combined with medium-prio construct-audio-data threads and low-prio display-colory-stuff threads. Add video and decoding to the mix and we've got even more priority levels. So once we accept that synchronization objects (locks) are an unavoidable fact of life, and once we accept that multi-task userspace apps have a very fair expectation of being able to use locks, we've got to think about how to offer the option of a deterministic locking implementation to user-space. Most of the technical counter-arguments against doing priority inheritance only apply to kernel-space locks. But user-space locks are different, there we cannot disable interrupts or make the task non-preemptible in a critical section, so the 'use spinlocks' argument does not apply (user-space spinlocks have the same priority inversion problems as other user-space locking constructs). Fact is, pretty much the only technique that currently enables good determinism for userspace locks (such as futex-based pthread mutexes) is priority inheritance: Currently (without PI), if a high-prio and a low-prio task shares a lock [this is a quite common scenario for most non-trivial RT applications], even if all critical sections are coded carefully to be deterministic (i.e. all critical sections are short in duration and only execute a limited number of instructions), the kernel cannot guarantee any deterministic execution of the high-prio task: any medium-priority task could preempt the low-prio task while it holds the shared lock and executes the critical section, and could delay it indefinitely. Implementation: --------------- As mentioned before, the userspace fastpath of PI-enabled pthread mutexes involves no kernel work at all - they behave quite similarly to normal futex-based locks: a 0 value means unlocked, and a value==TID means locked. (This is the same method as used by list-based robust futexes.) Userspace uses atomic ops to lock/unlock these mutexes without entering the kernel. To handle the slowpath, we have added two new futex ops: FUTEX_LOCK_PI FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI If the lock-acquire fastpath fails, [i.e. an atomic transition from 0 to TID fails], then FUTEX_LOCK_PI is called. The kernel does all the remaining work: if there is no futex-queue attached to the futex address yet then the code looks up the task that owns the futex [it has put its own TID into the futex value], and attaches a 'PI state' structure to the futex-queue. The pi_state includes an rt-mutex, which is a PI-aware, kernel-based synchronization object. The 'other' task is made the owner of the rt-mutex, and the FUTEX_WAITERS bit is atomically set in the futex value. Then this task tries to lock the rt-mutex, on which it blocks. Once it returns, it has the mutex acquired, and it sets the futex value to its own TID and returns. Userspace has no other work to perform - it now owns the lock, and futex value contains FUTEX_WAITERS|TID. If the unlock side fastpath succeeds, [i.e. userspace manages to do a TID -> 0 atomic transition of the futex value], then no kernel work is triggered. If the unlock fastpath fails (because the FUTEX_WAITERS bit is set), then FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI is called, and the kernel unlocks the futex on the behalf of userspace - and it also unlocks the attached pi_state->rt_mutex and thus wakes up any potential waiters. Note that under this approach, contrary to other PI-futex approaches, there is no prior 'registration' of a PI-futex. [which is not quite possible anyway, due to existing ABI properties of pthread mutexes.] Also, under this scheme, 'robustness' and 'PI' are two orthogonal properties of futexes, and all four combinations are possible: futex, robust-futex, PI-futex, robust+PI-futex. glibc support: -------------- Ulrich Drepper and Jakub Jelinek have written glibc support for PI-futexes (and robust futexes), enabling robust and PI (PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT) POSIX mutexes. (PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT support will be added later on too, no additional kernel changes are needed for that). [NOTE: The glibc patch is obviously inofficial and unsupported without matching upstream kernel functionality.] the patch-queue and the glibc patch can also be downloaded from: http://redhat.com/~mingo/PI-futex-patches/ Many thanks go to the people who helped us create this kernel feature: Steven Rostedt, Esben Nielsen, Benedikt Spranger, Daniel Walker, John Cooper, Arjan van de Ven, Oleg Nesterov and others. Credits for related prior projects goes to Dirk Grambow, Inaky Perez-Gonzalez, Bill Huey and many others. Clean up the futex code, before adding more features to it: - use u32 as the futex field type - that's the ABI - use __user and pointers to u32 instead of unsigned long - code style / comment style cleanups - rename hash-bucket name from 'bh' to 'hb'. I checked the pre and post futex.o object files to make sure this patch has no code effects.

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

FUTEX: new PRIVATE futexes Analysis of current linux futex code : -------------------------------------- A central hash table futex_queues[] holds all contexts (futex_q) of waiting threads. Each futex_wait()/futex_wait() has to obtain a spinlock on a hash slot to perform lookups or insert/deletion of a futex_q. When a futex_wait() is done, calling thread has to : 1) - Obtain a read lock on mmap_sem to be able to validate the user pointer (calling find_vma()). This validation tells us if the futex uses an inode based store (mapped file), or mm based store (anonymous mem) 2) - compute a hash key 3) - Atomic increment of reference counter on an inode or a mm_struct 4) - lock part of futex_queues[] hash table 5) - perform the test on value of futex. (rollback is value != expected_value, returns EWOULDBLOCK) (various loops if test triggers mm faults) 6) queue the context into hash table, release the lock got in 4) 7) - release the read_lock on mmap_sem <block> 8) Eventually unqueue the context (but rarely, as this part  may be done by the futex_wake()) Futexes were designed to improve scalability but current implementation has various problems : - Central hashtable : This means scalability problems if many processes/threads want to use futexes at the same time. This means NUMA unbalance because this hashtable is located on one node. - Using mmap_sem on every futex() syscall : Even if mmap_sem is a rw_semaphore, up_read()/down_read() are doing atomic ops on mmap_sem, dirtying cache line : - lot of cache line ping pongs on SMP configurations. mmap_sem is also extensively used by mm code (page faults, mmap()/munmap()) Highly threaded processes might suffer from mmap_sem contention. mmap_sem is also used by oprofile code. Enabling oprofile hurts threaded programs because of contention on the mmap_sem cache line. - Using an atomic_inc()/atomic_dec() on inode ref counter or mm ref counter: It's also a cache line ping pong on SMP. It also increases mmap_sem hold time because of cache misses. Most of these scalability problems come from the fact that futexes are in one global namespace. As we use a central hash table, we must make sure they are all using the same reference (given by the mm subsystem). We chose to force all futexes be 'shared'. This has a cost. But fact is POSIX defined PRIVATE and SHARED, allowing clear separation, and optimal performance if carefuly implemented. Time has come for linux to have better threading performance. The goal is to permit new futex commands to avoid : - Taking the mmap_sem semaphore, conflicting with other subsystems. - Modifying a ref_count on mm or an inode, still conflicting with mm or fs. This is possible because, for one process using PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE futexes, we only need to distinguish futexes by their virtual address, no matter the underlying mm storage is. If glibc wants to exploit this new infrastructure, it should use new _PRIVATE futex subcommands for PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE futexes. And be prepared to fallback on old subcommands for old kernels. Using one global variable with the FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG or 0 value should be OK. PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED futexes should still use the old subcommands. Compatibility with old applications is preserved, they still hit the scalability problems, but new applications can fly :) Note : the same SHARED futex (mapped on a file) can be used by old binaries *and* new binaries, because both binaries will use the old subcommands.

mm/gup: change GUP fast to use flags rather than a write 'bool' To facilitate additional options to get_user_pages_fast() change the singular write parameter to be gup_flags. This patch does not change any functionality. New functionality will follow in subsequent patches. Some of the get_user_pages_fast() call sites were unchanged because they already passed FOLL_WRITE or 0 for the write parameter. NOTE: It was suggested to change the ordering of the get_user_pages_fast() arguments to ensure that callers were converted. This breaks the current GUP call site convention of having the returned pages be the final parameter. So the suggestion was rejected.

futex: Fix regression with read only mappings commit 7485d0d3758e8e6491a5c9468114e74dc050785d (futexes: Remove rw parameter from get_futex_key()) in 2.6.33 fixed two problems: First, It prevented a loop when encountering a ZERO_PAGE. Second, it fixed RW MAP_PRIVATE futex operations by forcing the COW to occur by unconditionally performing a write access get_user_pages_fast() to get the page. The commit also introduced a user-mode regression in that it broke futex operations on read-only memory maps. For example, this breaks workloads that have one or more reader processes doing a FUTEX_WAIT on a futex within a read only shared file mapping, and a writer processes that has a writable mapping issuing the FUTEX_WAKE. This fixes the regression for valid futex operations on RO mappings by trying a RO get_user_pages_fast() when the RW get_user_pages_fast() fails. This change makes it necessary to also check for invalid use cases, such as anonymous RO mappings (which can never change) and the ZERO_PAGE which the commit referenced above was written to address. This patch does restore the original behavior with RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings, which have inherent user-mode usage problems and don't really make sense. With this patch performing a FUTEX_WAIT within a RO MAP_PRIVATE mapping will be successfully woken provided another process updates the region of the underlying mapped file. However, the mmap() man page states that for a MAP_PRIVATE mapping: It is unspecified whether changes made to the file after the mmap() call are visible in the mapped region. So user-mode users attempting to use futex operations on RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings are depending on unspecified behavior. Additionally a RO MAP_PRIVATE mapping could fail to wake up in the following case. Thread-A: call futex(FUTEX_WAIT, memory-region-A). get_futex_key() return inode based key. sleep on the key Thread-B: call mprotect(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, memory-region-A) Thread-B: write memory-region-A. COW happen. This process's memory-region-A become related to new COWed private (ie PageAnon=1) page. Thread-B: call futex(FUETX_WAKE, memory-region-A). get_futex_key() return mm based key. IOW, we fail to wake up Thread-A. Once again doing something like this is just silly and users who do something like this get what they deserve. While RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings are nonsensical, checking for a private mapping requires walking the vmas and was deemed too costly to avoid a userspace hang. This Patch is based on Peter Zijlstra's initial patch with modifications to only allow RO mappings for futex operations that need VERIFY_READ access.

futex: Remove requirement for lock_page() in get_futex_key() When dealing with key handling for shared futexes, we can drastically reduce the usage/need of the page lock. 1) For anonymous pages, the associated futex object is the mm_struct which does not require the page lock. 2) For inode based, keys, we can check under RCU read lock if the page mapping is still valid and take reference to the inode. This just leaves one rare race that requires the page lock in the slow path when examining the swapcache. Additionally realtime users currently have a problem with the page lock being contended for unbounded periods of time during futex operations. Task A get_futex_key() lock_page() ---> preempted Now any other task trying to lock that page will have to wait until task A gets scheduled back in, which is an unbound time. With this patch, we pretty much have a lockless futex_get_key(). Experiments show that this patch can boost/speedup the hashing of shared futexes with the perf futex benchmarks (which is good for measuring such change) by up to 45% when there are high (> 100) thread counts on a 60 core Westmere. Lower counts are pretty much in the noise range or less than 10%, but mid range can be seen at over 30% overall throughput (hash ops/sec). This makes anon-mem shared futexes much closer to its private counterpart.

futex: Calculate the futex key based on a tail page for file-based futexes Mike Galbraith reported that the LTP test case futex_wake04 was broken by commit 65d8fc777f6d ("futex: Remove requirement for lock_page() in get_futex_key()"). This test case uses futexes backed by hugetlbfs pages and so there is an associated inode with a futex stored on such pages. The problem is that the key is being calculated based on the head page index of the hugetlbfs page and not the tail page. Prior to the optimisation, the page lock was used to stabilise mappings and pin the inode is file-backed which is overkill. If the page was a compound page, the head page was automatically looked up as part of the page lock operation but the tail page index was used to calculate the futex key. After the optimisation, the compound head is looked up early and the page lock is only relied upon to identify truncated pages, special pages or a shmem page moving to swapcache. The head page is looked up because without the page lock, special care has to be taken to pin the inode correctly. However, the tail page is still required to calculate the futex key so this patch records the tail page. On vanilla 4.6, the output of the test case is; futex_wake04 0 TINFO : Hugepagesize 2097152 futex_wake04 1 TFAIL : futex_wake04.c:126: Bug: wait_thread2 did not wake after 30 secs.

Second, it fixed RW MAP_PRIVATE futex operations by forcing the COW to occur by unconditionally performing a write access get_user_pages_fast() to get the page. The commit also introduced a user-mode regression in that it broke futex operations on read-only memory maps. For example, this breaks workloads that have one or more reader processes doing a FUTEX_WAIT on a futex within a read only shared file mapping, and a writer processes that has a writable mapping issuing the FUTEX_WAKE. This fixes the regression for valid futex operations on RO mappings by trying a RO get_user_pages_fast() when the RW get_user_pages_fast() fails. This change makes it necessary to also check for invalid use cases, such as anonymous RO mappings (which can never change) and the ZERO_PAGE which the commit referenced above was written to address. This patch does restore the original behavior with RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings, which have inherent user-mode usage problems and don't really make sense. With this patch performing a FUTEX_WAIT within a RO MAP_PRIVATE mapping will be successfully woken provided another process updates the region of the underlying mapped file. However, the mmap() man page states that for a MAP_PRIVATE mapping: It is unspecified whether changes made to the file after the mmap() call are visible in the mapped region. So user-mode users attempting to use futex operations on RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings are depending on unspecified behavior. Additionally a RO MAP_PRIVATE mapping could fail to wake up in the following case. Thread-A: call futex(FUTEX_WAIT, memory-region-A). get_futex_key() return inode based key. sleep on the key Thread-B: call mprotect(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, memory-region-A) Thread-B: write memory-region-A. COW happen. This process's memory-region-A become related to new COWed private (ie PageAnon=1) page. Thread-B: call futex(FUETX_WAKE, memory-region-A). get_futex_key() return mm based key. IOW, we fail to wake up Thread-A. Once again doing something like this is just silly and users who do something like this get what they deserve. While RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings are nonsensical, checking for a private mapping requires walking the vmas and was deemed too costly to avoid a userspace hang.

[PATCH] pi-futex: futex code cleanups We are pleased to announce "lightweight userspace priority inheritance" (PI) support for futexes. The following patchset and glibc patch implements it, ontop of the robust-futexes patchset which is included in 2.6.16-mm1. We are calling it lightweight for 3 reasons: - in the user-space fastpath a PI-enabled futex involves no kernel work (or any other PI complexity) at all. No registration, no extra kernel calls - just pure fast atomic ops in userspace. - in the slowpath (in the lock-contention case), the system call and scheduling pattern is in fact better than that of normal futexes, due to the 'integrated' nature of FUTEX_LOCK_PI. [more about that further down] - the in-kernel PI implementation is streamlined around the mutex abstraction, with strict rules that keep the implementation relatively simple: only a single owner may own a lock (i.e. no read-write lock support), only the owner may unlock a lock, no recursive locking, etc. Priority Inheritance - why, oh why??? ------------------------------------- Many of you heard the horror stories about the evil PI code circling Linux for years, which makes no real sense at all and is only used by buggy applications and which has horrible overhead. Some of you have dreaded this very moment, when someone actually submits working PI code ;-) So why would we like to see PI support for futexes? We'd like to see it done purely for technological reasons. We dont think it's a buggy concept, we think it's useful functionality to offer to applications, which functionality cannot be achieved in other ways. We also think it's the right thing to do, and we think we've got the right arguments and the right numbers to prove that. We also believe that we can address all the counter-arguments as well. For these reasons (and the reasons outlined below) we are submitting this patch-set for upstream kernel inclusion. What are the benefits of PI? The short reply: ---------------- User-space PI helps achieving/improving determinism for user-space applications. In the best-case, it can help achieve determinism and well-bound latencies. Even in the worst-case, PI will improve the statistical distribution of locking related application delays. The longer reply: ----------------- Firstly, sharing locks between multiple tasks is a common programming technique that often cannot be replaced with lockless algorithms. As we can see it in the kernel [which is a quite complex program in itself], lockless structures are rather the exception than the norm - the current ratio of lockless vs. locky code for shared data structures is somewhere between 1:10 and 1:100. Lockless is hard, and the complexity of lockless algorithms often endangers to ability to do robust reviews of said code. I.e. critical RT apps often choose lock structures to protect critical data structures, instead of lockless algorithms. Furthermore, there are cases (like shared hardware, or other resource limits) where lockless access is mathematically impossible. Media players (such as Jack) are an example of reasonable application design with multiple tasks (with multiple priority levels) sharing short-held locks: for example, a highprio audio playback thread is combined with medium-prio construct-audio-data threads and low-prio display-colory-stuff threads. Add video and decoding to the mix and we've got even more priority levels. So once we accept that synchronization objects (locks) are an unavoidable fact of life, and once we accept that multi-task userspace apps have a very fair expectation of being able to use locks, we've got to think about how to offer the option of a deterministic locking implementation to user-space. Most of the technical counter-arguments against doing priority inheritance only apply to kernel-space locks. But user-space locks are different, there we cannot disable interrupts or make the task non-preemptible in a critical section, so the 'use spinlocks' argument does not apply (user-space spinlocks have the same priority inversion problems as other user-space locking constructs). Fact is, pretty much the only technique that currently enables good determinism for userspace locks (such as futex-based pthread mutexes) is priority inheritance: Currently (without PI), if a high-prio and a low-prio task shares a lock [this is a quite common scenario for most non-trivial RT applications], even if all critical sections are coded carefully to be deterministic (i.e. all critical sections are short in duration and only execute a limited number of instructions), the kernel cannot guarantee any deterministic execution of the high-prio task: any medium-priority task could preempt the low-prio task while it holds the shared lock and executes the critical section, and could delay it indefinitely. Implementation: --------------- As mentioned before, the userspace fastpath of PI-enabled pthread mutexes involves no kernel work at all - they behave quite similarly to normal futex-based locks: a 0 value means unlocked, and a value==TID means locked. (This is the same method as used by list-based robust futexes.) Userspace uses atomic ops to lock/unlock these mutexes without entering the kernel. To handle the slowpath, we have added two new futex ops: FUTEX_LOCK_PI FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI If the lock-acquire fastpath fails, [i.e. an atomic transition from 0 to TID fails], then FUTEX_LOCK_PI is called. The kernel does all the remaining work: if there is no futex-queue attached to the futex address yet then the code looks up the task that owns the futex [it has put its own TID into the futex value], and attaches a 'PI state' structure to the futex-queue. The pi_state includes an rt-mutex, which is a PI-aware, kernel-based synchronization object. The 'other' task is made the owner of the rt-mutex, and the FUTEX_WAITERS bit is atomically set in the futex value. Then this task tries to lock the rt-mutex, on which it blocks. Once it returns, it has the mutex acquired, and it sets the futex value to its own TID and returns. Userspace has no other work to perform - it now owns the lock, and futex value contains FUTEX_WAITERS|TID. If the unlock side fastpath succeeds, [i.e. userspace manages to do a TID -> 0 atomic transition of the futex value], then no kernel work is triggered. If the unlock fastpath fails (because the FUTEX_WAITERS bit is set), then FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI is called, and the kernel unlocks the futex on the behalf of userspace - and it also unlocks the attached pi_state->rt_mutex and thus wakes up any potential waiters. Note that under this approach, contrary to other PI-futex approaches, there is no prior 'registration' of a PI-futex. [which is not quite possible anyway, due to existing ABI properties of pthread mutexes.] Also, under this scheme, 'robustness' and 'PI' are two orthogonal properties of futexes, and all four combinations are possible: futex, robust-futex, PI-futex, robust+PI-futex. glibc support: -------------- Ulrich Drepper and Jakub Jelinek have written glibc support for PI-futexes (and robust futexes), enabling robust and PI (PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT) POSIX mutexes. (PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT support will be added later on too, no additional kernel changes are needed for that). [NOTE: The glibc patch is obviously inofficial and unsupported without matching upstream kernel functionality.] the patch-queue and the glibc patch can also be downloaded from: http://redhat.com/~mingo/PI-futex-patches/ Many thanks go to the people who helped us create this kernel feature: Steven Rostedt, Esben Nielsen, Benedikt Spranger, Daniel Walker, John Cooper, Arjan van de Ven, Oleg Nesterov and others. Credits for related prior projects goes to Dirk Grambow, Inaky Perez-Gonzalez, Bill Huey and many others. Clean up the futex code, before adding more features to it: - use u32 as the futex field type - that's the ABI - use __user and pointers to u32 instead of unsigned long - code style / comment style cleanups - rename hash-bucket name from 'bh' to 'hb'. I checked the pre and post futex.o object files to make sure this patch has no code effects.

futex: Remove requirement for lock_page() in get_futex_key() When dealing with key handling for shared futexes, we can drastically reduce the usage/need of the page lock. 1) For anonymous pages, the associated futex object is the mm_struct which does not require the page lock. 2) For inode based, keys, we can check under RCU read lock if the page mapping is still valid and take reference to the inode. This just leaves one rare race that requires the page lock in the slow path when examining the swapcache. Additionally realtime users currently have a problem with the page lock being contended for unbounded periods of time during futex operations. Task A get_futex_key() lock_page() ---> preempted Now any other task trying to lock that page will have to wait until task A gets scheduled back in, which is an unbound time. With this patch, we pretty much have a lockless futex_get_key(). Experiments show that this patch can boost/speedup the hashing of shared futexes with the perf futex benchmarks (which is good for measuring such change) by up to 45% when there are high (> 100) thread counts on a 60 core Westmere. Lower counts are pretty much in the noise range or less than 10%, but mid range can be seen at over 30% overall throughput (hash ops/sec). This makes anon-mem shared futexes much closer to its private counterpart.

mm, futex: fix shared futex pgoff on shmem huge page If more than one futex is placed on a shmem huge page, it can happen that waking the second wakes the first instead, and leaves the second waiting: the key's shared.pgoff is wrong. When 3.11 commit 13d60f4b6ab5 ("futex: Take hugepages into account when generating futex_key"), the only shared huge pages came from hugetlbfs, and the code added to deal with its exceptional page->index was put into hugetlb source. Then that was missed when 4.8 added shmem huge pages. page_to_pgoff() is what others use for this nowadays: except that, as currently written, it gives the right answer on hugetlbfs head, but nonsense on hugetlbfs tails. Fix that by calling hugetlbfs-specific hugetlb_basepage_index() on PageHuge tails as well as on head. Yes, it's unconventional to declare hugetlb_basepage_index() there in pagemap.h, rather than in hugetlb.h; but I do not expect anything but page_to_pgoff() ever to need it.

futex: Fix regression with read only mappings commit 7485d0d3758e8e6491a5c9468114e74dc050785d (futexes: Remove rw parameter from get_futex_key()) in 2.6.33 fixed two problems: First, It prevented a loop when encountering a ZERO_PAGE. Second, it fixed RW MAP_PRIVATE futex operations by forcing the COW to occur by unconditionally performing a write access get_user_pages_fast() to get the page. The commit also introduced a user-mode regression in that it broke futex operations on read-only memory maps. For example, this breaks workloads that have one or more reader processes doing a FUTEX_WAIT on a futex within a read only shared file mapping, and a writer processes that has a writable mapping issuing the FUTEX_WAKE. This fixes the regression for valid futex operations on RO mappings by trying a RO get_user_pages_fast() when the RW get_user_pages_fast() fails. This change makes it necessary to also check for invalid use cases, such as anonymous RO mappings (which can never change) and the ZERO_PAGE which the commit referenced above was written to address. This patch does restore the original behavior with RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings, which have inherent user-mode usage problems and don't really make sense. With this patch performing a FUTEX_WAIT within a RO MAP_PRIVATE mapping will be successfully woken provided another process updates the region of the underlying mapped file. However, the mmap() man page states that for a MAP_PRIVATE mapping: It is unspecified whether changes made to the file after the mmap() call are visible in the mapped region. So user-mode users attempting to use futex operations on RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings are depending on unspecified behavior. Additionally a RO MAP_PRIVATE mapping could fail to wake up in the following case. Thread-A: call futex(FUTEX_WAIT, memory-region-A). get_futex_key() return inode based key. sleep on the key Thread-B: call mprotect(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, memory-region-A) Thread-B: write memory-region-A. COW happen. This process's memory-region-A become related to new COWed private (ie PageAnon=1) page. Thread-B: call futex(FUETX_WAKE, memory-region-A). get_futex_key() return mm based key.

mm: bring in additional flag for fixup_user_fault to signal unlock During Jason's work with postcopy migration support for s390 a problem regarding gmap faults was discovered. The gmap code will call fixup_user_fault which will end up always in handle_mm_fault. Till now we never cared about retries, but as the userfaultfd code kind of relies on it. this needs some fix. This patchset does not take care of the futex code. I will now look closer at this. This patch (of 2): With the introduction of userfaultfd, kvm on s390 needs fixup_user_fault to pass in FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY and give feedback if during the faulting we ever unlocked mmap_sem. This patch brings in the logic to handle retries as well as it cleans up the current documentation. fixup_user_fault was not having the same semantics as filemap_fault. It never indicated if a retry happened and so a caller wasn't able to handle that case. So we now changed the behaviour to always retry a locked mmap_sem.

sched/wake_q: Reduce reference counting for special users Some users, specifically futexes and rwsems, required fixes that allowed the callers to be safe when wakeups occur before they are expected by wake_up_q(). Such scenarios also play games and rely on reference counting, and until now were pivoting on wake_q doing it. With the wake_q_add() call being moved down, this can no longer be the case. As such we end up with a a double task refcounting overhead; and these callers care enough about this (being rather core-ish). This patch introduces a wake_q_add_safe() call that serves for callers that have already done refcounting and therefore the task is 'safe' from wake_q point of view (int that it requires reference throughout the entire queue/>wakeup cycle). In the one case it has internal reference counting, in the other case it consumes the reference counting.

[PATCH] pi-futex: futex code cleanups We are pleased to announce "lightweight userspace priority inheritance" (PI) support for futexes. The following patchset and glibc patch implements it, ontop of the robust-futexes patchset which is included in 2.6.16-mm1. We are calling it lightweight for 3 reasons: - in the user-space fastpath a PI-enabled futex involves no kernel work (or any other PI complexity) at all. No registration, no extra kernel calls - just pure fast atomic ops in userspace. - in the slowpath (in the lock-contention case), the system call and scheduling pattern is in fact better than that of normal futexes, due to the 'integrated' nature of FUTEX_LOCK_PI. [more about that further down] - the in-kernel PI implementation is streamlined around the mutex abstraction, with strict rules that keep the implementation relatively simple: only a single owner may own a lock (i.e. no read-write lock support), only the owner may unlock a lock, no recursive locking, etc. Priority Inheritance - why, oh why??? ------------------------------------- Many of you heard the horror stories about the evil PI code circling Linux for years, which makes no real sense at all and is only used by buggy applications and which has horrible overhead. Some of you have dreaded this very moment, when someone actually submits working PI code ;-) So why would we like to see PI support for futexes? We'd like to see it done purely for technological reasons. We dont think it's a buggy concept, we think it's useful functionality to offer to applications, which functionality cannot be achieved in other ways. We also think it's the right thing to do, and we think we've got the right arguments and the right numbers to prove that. We also believe that we can address all the counter-arguments as well. For these reasons (and the reasons outlined below) we are submitting this patch-set for upstream kernel inclusion. What are the benefits of PI? The short reply: ---------------- User-space PI helps achieving/improving determinism for user-space applications. In the best-case, it can help achieve determinism and well-bound latencies. Even in the worst-case, PI will improve the statistical distribution of locking related application delays. The longer reply: ----------------- Firstly, sharing locks between multiple tasks is a common programming technique that often cannot be replaced with lockless algorithms. As we can see it in the kernel [which is a quite complex program in itself], lockless structures are rather the exception than the norm - the current ratio of lockless vs. locky code for shared data structures is somewhere between 1:10 and 1:100. Lockless is hard, and the complexity of lockless algorithms often endangers to ability to do robust reviews of said code. I.e. critical RT apps often choose lock structures to protect critical data structures, instead of lockless algorithms. Furthermore, there are cases (like shared hardware, or other resource limits) where lockless access is mathematically impossible. Media players (such as Jack) are an example of reasonable application design with multiple tasks (with multiple priority levels) sharing short-held locks: for example, a highprio audio playback thread is combined with medium-prio construct-audio-data threads and low-prio display-colory-stuff threads. Add video and decoding to the mix and we've got even more priority levels. So once we accept that synchronization objects (locks) are an unavoidable fact of life, and once we accept that multi-task userspace apps have a very fair expectation of being able to use locks, we've got to think about how to offer the option of a deterministic locking implementation to user-space. Most of the technical counter-arguments against doing priority inheritance only apply to kernel-space locks. But user-space locks are different, there we cannot disable interrupts or make the task non-preemptible in a critical section, so the 'use spinlocks' argument does not apply (user-space spinlocks have the same priority inversion problems as other user-space locking constructs). Fact is, pretty much the only technique that currently enables good determinism for userspace locks (such as futex-based pthread mutexes) is priority inheritance: Currently (without PI), if a high-prio and a low-prio task shares a lock [this is a quite common scenario for most non-trivial RT applications], even if all critical sections are coded carefully to be deterministic (i.e. all critical sections are short in duration and only execute a limited number of instructions), the kernel cannot guarantee any deterministic execution of the high-prio task: any medium-priority task could preempt the low-prio task while it holds the shared lock and executes the critical section, and could delay it indefinitely. Implementation: --------------- As mentioned before, the userspace fastpath of PI-enabled pthread mutexes involves no kernel work at all - they behave quite similarly to normal futex-based locks: a 0 value means unlocked, and a value==TID means locked. (This is the same method as used by list-based robust futexes.) Userspace uses atomic ops to lock/unlock these mutexes without entering the kernel. To handle the slowpath, we have added two new futex ops: FUTEX_LOCK_PI FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI If the lock-acquire fastpath fails, [i.e. an atomic transition from 0 to TID fails], then FUTEX_LOCK_PI is called. The kernel does all the remaining work: if there is no futex-queue attached to the futex address yet then the code looks up the task that owns the futex [it has put its own TID into the futex value], and attaches a 'PI state' structure to the futex-queue. The pi_state includes an rt-mutex, which is a PI-aware, kernel-based synchronization object. The 'other' task is made the owner of the rt-mutex, and the FUTEX_WAITERS bit is atomically set in the futex value. Then this task tries to lock the rt-mutex, on which it blocks. Once it returns, it has the mutex acquired, and it sets the futex value to its own TID and returns. Userspace has no other work to perform - it now owns the lock, and futex value contains FUTEX_WAITERS|TID. If the unlock side fastpath succeeds, [i.e. userspace manages to do a TID -> 0 atomic transition of the futex value], then no kernel work is triggered. If the unlock fastpath fails (because the FUTEX_WAITERS bit is set), then FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI is called, and the kernel unlocks the futex on the behalf of userspace - and it also unlocks the attached pi_state->rt_mutex and thus wakes up any potential waiters. Note that under this approach, contrary to other PI-futex approaches, there is no prior 'registration' of a PI-futex. [which is not quite possible anyway, due to existing ABI properties of pthread mutexes.] Also, under this scheme, 'robustness' and 'PI' are two orthogonal properties of futexes, and all four combinations are possible: futex, robust-futex, PI-futex, robust+PI-futex. glibc support: -------------- Ulrich Drepper and Jakub Jelinek have written glibc support for PI-futexes (and robust futexes), enabling robust and PI (PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT) POSIX mutexes. (PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT support will be added later on too, no additional kernel changes are needed for that). [NOTE: The glibc patch is obviously inofficial and unsupported without matching upstream kernel functionality.] the patch-queue and the glibc patch can also be downloaded from: http://redhat.com/~mingo/PI-futex-patches/ Many thanks go to the people who helped us create this kernel feature: Steven Rostedt, Esben Nielsen, Benedikt Spranger, Daniel Walker, John Cooper, Arjan van de Ven, Oleg Nesterov and others. Credits for related prior projects goes to Dirk Grambow, Inaky Perez-Gonzalez, Bill Huey and many others. Clean up the futex code, before adding more features to it: - use u32 as the futex field type - that's the ABI - use __user and pointers to u32 instead of unsigned long - code style / comment style cleanups - rename hash-bucket name from 'bh' to 'hb'.

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

[PATCH] pi-futex: futex code cleanups We are pleased to announce "lightweight userspace priority inheritance" (PI) support for futexes. The following patchset and glibc patch implements it, ontop of the robust-futexes patchset which is included in 2.6.16-mm1. We are calling it lightweight for 3 reasons: - in the user-space fastpath a PI-enabled futex involves no kernel work (or any other PI complexity) at all. No registration, no extra kernel calls - just pure fast atomic ops in userspace. - in the slowpath (in the lock-contention case), the system call and scheduling pattern is in fact better than that of normal futexes, due to the 'integrated' nature of FUTEX_LOCK_PI. [more about that further down] - the in-kernel PI implementation is streamlined around the mutex abstraction, with strict rules that keep the implementation relatively simple: only a single owner may own a lock (i.e. no read-write lock support), only the owner may unlock a lock, no recursive locking, etc. Priority Inheritance - why, oh why??? ------------------------------------- Many of you heard the horror stories about the evil PI code circling Linux for years, which makes no real sense at all and is only used by buggy applications and which has horrible overhead. Some of you have dreaded this very moment, when someone actually submits working PI code ;-) So why would we like to see PI support for futexes? We'd like to see it done purely for technological reasons. We dont think it's a buggy concept, we think it's useful functionality to offer to applications, which functionality cannot be achieved in other ways. We also think it's the right thing to do, and we think we've got the right arguments and the right numbers to prove that. We also believe that we can address all the counter-arguments as well. For these reasons (and the reasons outlined below) we are submitting this patch-set for upstream kernel inclusion. What are the benefits of PI? The short reply: ---------------- User-space PI helps achieving/improving determinism for user-space applications. In the best-case, it can help achieve determinism and well-bound latencies. Even in the worst-case, PI will improve the statistical distribution of locking related application delays. The longer reply: ----------------- Firstly, sharing locks between multiple tasks is a common programming technique that often cannot be replaced with lockless algorithms. As we can see it in the kernel [which is a quite complex program in itself], lockless structures are rather the exception than the norm - the current ratio of lockless vs. locky code for shared data structures is somewhere between 1:10 and 1:100. Lockless is hard, and the complexity of lockless algorithms often endangers to ability to do robust reviews of said code. I.e. critical RT apps often choose lock structures to protect critical data structures, instead of lockless algorithms. Furthermore, there are cases (like shared hardware, or other resource limits) where lockless access is mathematically impossible. Media players (such as Jack) are an example of reasonable application design with multiple tasks (with multiple priority levels) sharing short-held locks: for example, a highprio audio playback thread is combined with medium-prio construct-audio-data threads and low-prio display-colory-stuff threads. Add video and decoding to the mix and we've got even more priority levels. So once we accept that synchronization objects (locks) are an unavoidable fact of life, and once we accept that multi-task userspace apps have a very fair expectation of being able to use locks, we've got to think about how to offer the option of a deterministic locking implementation to user-space. Most of the technical counter-arguments against doing priority inheritance only apply to kernel-space locks. But user-space locks are different, there we cannot disable interrupts or make the task non-preemptible in a critical section, so the 'use spinlocks' argument does not apply (user-space spinlocks have the same priority inversion problems as other user-space locking constructs). Fact is, pretty much the only technique that currently enables good determinism for userspace locks (such as futex-based pthread mutexes) is priority inheritance: Currently (without PI), if a high-prio and a low-prio task shares a lock [this is a quite common scenario for most non-trivial RT applications], even if all critical sections are coded carefully to be deterministic (i.e. all critical sections are short in duration and only execute a limited number of instructions), the kernel cannot guarantee any deterministic execution of the high-prio task: any medium-priority task could preempt the low-prio task while it holds the shared lock and executes the critical section, and could delay it indefinitely. Implementation: --------------- As mentioned before, the userspace fastpath of PI-enabled pthread mutexes involves no kernel work at all - they behave quite similarly to normal futex-based locks: a 0 value means unlocked, and a value==TID means locked. (This is the same method as used by list-based robust futexes.) Userspace uses atomic ops to lock/unlock these mutexes without entering the kernel. To handle the slowpath, we have added two new futex ops: FUTEX_LOCK_PI FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI If the lock-acquire fastpath fails, [i.e. an atomic transition from 0 to TID fails], then FUTEX_LOCK_PI is called. The kernel does all the remaining work: if there is no futex-queue attached to the futex address yet then the code looks up the task that owns the futex [it has put its own TID into the futex value], and attaches a 'PI state' structure to the futex-queue. The pi_state includes an rt-mutex, which is a PI-aware, kernel-based synchronization object. The 'other' task is made the owner of the rt-mutex, and the FUTEX_WAITERS bit is atomically set in the futex value. Then this task tries to lock the rt-mutex, on which it blocks. Once it returns, it has the mutex acquired, and it sets the futex value to its own TID and returns. Userspace has no other work to perform - it now owns the lock, and futex value contains FUTEX_WAITERS|TID. If the unlock side fastpath succeeds, [i.e. userspace manages to do a TID -> 0 atomic transition of the futex value], then no kernel work is triggered. If the unlock fastpath fails (because the FUTEX_WAITERS bit is set), then FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI is called, and the kernel unlocks the futex on the behalf of userspace - and it also unlocks the attached pi_state->rt_mutex and thus wakes up any potential waiters. Note that under this approach, contrary to other PI-futex approaches, there is no prior 'registration' of a PI-futex. [which is not quite possible anyway, due to existing ABI properties of pthread mutexes.] Also, under this scheme, 'robustness' and 'PI' are two orthogonal properties of futexes, and all four combinations are possible: futex, robust-futex, PI-futex, robust+PI-futex. glibc support: -------------- Ulrich Drepper and Jakub Jelinek have written glibc support for PI-futexes (and robust futexes), enabling robust and PI (PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT) POSIX mutexes. (PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT support will be added later on too, no additional kernel changes are needed for that).

futex: add requeue_pi functionality PI Futexes and their underlying rt_mutex cannot be left ownerless if there are pending waiters as this will break the PI boosting logic, so the standard requeue commands aren't sufficient. The new commands properly manage pi futex ownership by ensuring a futex with waiters has an owner at all times. This will allow glibc to properly handle pi mutexes with pthread_condvars. The approach taken here is to create two new futex op codes: FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI: Tasks will use this op code to wait on a futex (such as a non-pi waitqueue) and wake after they have been requeued to a pi futex. Prior to returning to userspace, they will acquire this pi futex (and the underlying rt_mutex). futex_wait_requeue_pi() is the result of a high speed collision between futex_wait() and futex_lock_pi() (with the first part of futex_lock_pi() being done by futex_proxy_trylock_atomic() on behalf of the top_waiter). FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI (and FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI): This call must be used to wake tasks waiting with FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI, regardless of how many tasks the caller intends to wake or requeue. pthread_cond_broadcast() should call this with nr_wake=1 and nr_requeue=INT_MAX. pthread_cond_signal() should call this with nr_wake=1 and nr_requeue=0. The reason being we need both callers to get the benefit of the futex_proxy_trylock_atomic() routine. futex_requeue() also enqueues the top_waiter on the rt_mutex via rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock().

futex: Implement lockless wakeups Given the overall futex architecture, any chance of reducing hb->lock contention is welcome. In this particular case, using wake-queues to enable lockless wakeups addresses very much real world performance concerns, even cases of soft-lockups in cases of large amounts of blocked tasks (which is not hard to find in large boxes, using but just a handful of futex). At the lowest level, this patch can reduce latency of a single thread attempting to acquire hb->lock in highly contended scenarios by a up to 2x. At lower counts of nr_wake there are no regressions, confirming, of course, that the wake_q handling overhead is practically non existent. For instance, while a fair amount of variation, the extended pef-bench wakeup benchmark shows for a 20 core machine the following avg per-thread time to wakeup its share of tasks: nr_thr ms-before ms-after 16 0.0590 0.0215 32 0.0396 0.0220 48 0.0417 0.0182 64 0.0536 0.0236 80 0.0414 0.0097 96 0.0672 0.0152 Naturally, this can cause spurious wakeups. However there is no core code that cannot handle them afaict, and furthermore tglx does have the point that other events can already trigger them anyway.

For instance, while a fair amount of variation, the extended pef-bench wakeup benchmark shows for a 20 core machine the following avg per-thread time to wakeup its share of tasks: nr_thr ms-before ms-after 16 0.0590 0.0215 32 0.0396 0.0220 48 0.0417 0.0182 64 0.0536 0.0236 80 0.0414 0.0097 96 0.0672 0.0152 Naturally, this can cause spurious wakeups. However there is no core code that cannot handle them afaict, and furthermore tglx does have the point that other events can already trigger them anyway.

futex: Remove duplicated code and fix undefined behaviour There is code duplicated over all architecture's headers for futex_atomic_op_inuser. Namely op decoding, access_ok check for uaddr, and comparison of the result. Remove this duplication and leave up to the arches only the needed assembly which is now in arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser. This effectively distributes the Will Deacon's arm64 fix for undefined behaviour reported by UBSAN to all architectures. The fix was done in commit 5f16a046f8e1 (arm64: futex: Fix undefined behaviour with FUTEX_OP_OPARG_SHIFT usage). Look there for an example dump. And as suggested by Thomas, check for negative oparg too, because it was also reported to cause undefined behaviour report. Note that s390 removed access_ok check in d12a29703 ("s390/uaccess: remove pointless access_ok() checks") as access_ok there returns true. We introduce it back to the helper for the sake of simplicity (it gets optimized away anyway).

futex: futex_wake_op, do not fail on invalid op In commit 30d6e0a4190d ("futex: Remove duplicated code and fix undefined behaviour"), I let FUTEX_WAKE_OP to fail on invalid op. Namely when op should be considered as shift and the shift is out of range (< 0 or > 31). But strace's test suite does this madness: futex(0x7fabd78bcffc, 0x5, 0xfacefeed, 0xb, 0x7fabd78bcffc, 0xa0caffee); futex(0x7fabd78bcffc, 0x5, 0xfacefeed, 0xb, 0x7fabd78bcffc, 0xbadfaced); futex(0x7fabd78bcffc, 0x5, 0xfacefeed, 0xb, 0x7fabd78bcffc, 0xffffffff); When I pick the first 0xa0caffee, it decodes as: 0x80000000 & 0xa0caffee: oparg is shift 0x70000000 & 0xa0caffee: op is FUTEX_OP_OR 0x0f000000 & 0xa0caffee: cmp is FUTEX_OP_CMP_EQ 0x00fff000 & 0xa0caffee: oparg is sign-extended 0xcaf = -849 0x00000fff & 0xa0caffee: cmparg is sign-extended 0xfee = -18 That means the op tries to do this: (futex |= (1 << (-849))) == -18 which is completely bogus. The new check of op in the code is: if (encoded_op & (FUTEX_OP_OPARG_SHIFT << 28)) { if (oparg < 0 || oparg > 31) return -EINVAL; oparg = 1 << oparg; } which results obviously in the "Invalid argument" errno: FAIL: futex =========== futex(0x7fabd78bcffc, 0x5, 0xfacefeed, 0xb, 0x7fabd78bcffc, 0xa0caffee) = -1: Invalid argument futex.test: failed test: ../futex failed with code 1 So let us soften the failure to print only a (ratelimited) message, crop the value and continue as if it were right. When userspace keeps up, we can switch this to return -EINVAL again. [v2] Do not return 0 immediatelly, proceed with the cropped value.

[PATCH] FUTEX_WAKE_OP: pthread_cond_signal() speedup ATM pthread_cond_signal is unnecessarily slow, because it wakes one waiter (which at least on UP usually means an immediate context switch to one of the waiter threads). This waiter wakes up and after a few instructions it attempts to acquire the cv internal lock, but that lock is still held by the thread calling pthread_cond_signal. So it goes to sleep and eventually the signalling thread is scheduled in, unlocks the internal lock and wakes the waiter again. Now, before 2003-09-21 NPTL was using FUTEX_REQUEUE in pthread_cond_signal to avoid this performance issue, but it was removed when locks were redesigned to the 3 state scheme (unlocked, locked uncontended, locked contended). Following scenario shows why simply using FUTEX_REQUEUE in pthread_cond_signal together with using lll_mutex_unlock_force in place of lll_mutex_unlock is not enough and probably why it has been disabled at that time: The number is value in cv->__data.__lock. thr1 thr2 thr3 0 pthread_cond_wait 1 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock) 0 lll_mutex_unlock (cv->__data.__lock) 0 lll_futex_wait (&cv->__data.__futex, futexval) 0 pthread_cond_signal 1 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock) 1 pthread_cond_signal 2 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock) 2 lll_futex_wait (&cv->__data.__lock, 2) 2 lll_futex_requeue (&cv->__data.__futex, 0, 1, &cv->__data.__lock) # FUTEX_REQUEUE, not FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE 2 lll_mutex_unlock_force (cv->__data.__lock) 0 cv->__data.__lock = 0 0 lll_futex_wake (&cv->__data.__lock, 1) 1 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock) 0 lll_mutex_unlock (cv->__data.__lock) # Here, lll_mutex_unlock doesn't know there are threads waiting # on the internal cv's lock Now, I believe it is possible to use FUTEX_REQUEUE in pthread_cond_signal, but it will cost us not one, but 2 extra syscalls and, what's worse, one of these extra syscalls will be done for every single waiting loop in pthread_cond_*wait. We would need to use lll_mutex_unlock_force in pthread_cond_signal after requeue and lll_mutex_cond_lock in pthread_cond_*wait after lll_futex_wait. Another alternative is to do the unlocking pthread_cond_signal needs to do (the lock can't be unlocked before lll_futex_wake, as that is racy) in the kernel. I have implemented both variants, futex-requeue-glibc.patch is the first one and futex-wake_op{,-glibc}.patch is the unlocking inside of the kernel. The kernel interface allows userland to specify how exactly an unlocking operation should look like (some atomic arithmetic operation with optional constant argument and comparison of the previous futex value with another constant).

[PATCH] FUTEX_WAKE_OP: pthread_cond_signal() speedup ATM pthread_cond_signal is unnecessarily slow, because it wakes one waiter (which at least on UP usually means an immediate context switch to one of the waiter threads). This waiter wakes up and after a few instructions it attempts to acquire the cv internal lock, but that lock is still held by the thread calling pthread_cond_signal. So it goes to sleep and eventually the signalling thread is scheduled in, unlocks the internal lock and wakes the waiter again. Now, before 2003-09-21 NPTL was using FUTEX_REQUEUE in pthread_cond_signal to avoid this performance issue, but it was removed when locks were redesigned to the 3 state scheme (unlocked, locked uncontended, locked contended). Following scenario shows why simply using FUTEX_REQUEUE in pthread_cond_signal together with using lll_mutex_unlock_force in place of lll_mutex_unlock is not enough and probably why it has been disabled at that time: The number is value in cv->__data.__lock. thr1 thr2 thr3 0 pthread_cond_wait 1 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock) 0 lll_mutex_unlock (cv->__data.__lock) 0 lll_futex_wait (&cv->__data.__futex, futexval) 0 pthread_cond_signal 1 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock) 1 pthread_cond_signal 2 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock) 2 lll_futex_wait (&cv->__data.__lock, 2) 2 lll_futex_requeue (&cv->__data.__futex, 0, 1, &cv->__data.__lock) # FUTEX_REQUEUE, not FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE 2 lll_mutex_unlock_force (cv->__data.__lock) 0 cv->__data.__lock = 0 0 lll_futex_wake (&cv->__data.__lock, 1) 1 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock) 0 lll_mutex_unlock (cv->__data.__lock) # Here, lll_mutex_unlock doesn't know there are threads waiting # on the internal cv's lock Now, I believe it is possible to use FUTEX_REQUEUE in pthread_cond_signal, but it will cost us not one, but 2 extra syscalls and, what's worse, one of these extra syscalls will be done for every single waiting loop in pthread_cond_*wait. We would need to use lll_mutex_unlock_force in pthread_cond_signal after requeue and lll_mutex_cond_lock in pthread_cond_*wait after lll_futex_wait. Another alternative is to do the unlocking pthread_cond_signal needs to do (the lock can't be unlocked before lll_futex_wake, as that is racy) in the kernel. I have implemented both variants, futex-requeue-glibc.patch is the first one and futex-wake_op{,-glibc}.patch is the unlocking inside of the kernel. The kernel interface allows userland to specify how exactly an unlocking operation should look like (some atomic arithmetic operation with optional constant argument and comparison of the previous futex value with another constant). It has been implemented just for ppc*, x86_64 and i?86, for other architectures I'm including just a stub header which can be used as a starting point by maintainers to write support for their arches and ATM will just return -ENOSYS for FUTEX_WAKE_OP.

[PATCH] pi-futex: futex code cleanups We are pleased to announce "lightweight userspace priority inheritance" (PI) support for futexes. The following patchset and glibc patch implements it, ontop of the robust-futexes patchset which is included in 2.6.16-mm1. We are calling it lightweight for 3 reasons: - in the user-space fastpath a PI-enabled futex involves no kernel work (or any other PI complexity) at all. No registration, no extra kernel calls - just pure fast atomic ops in userspace. - in the slowpath (in the lock-contention case), the system call and scheduling pattern is in fact better than that of normal futexes, due to the 'integrated' nature of FUTEX_LOCK_PI. [more about that further down] - the in-kernel PI implementation is streamlined around the mutex abstraction, with strict rules that keep the implementation relatively simple: only a single owner may own a lock (i.e. no read-write lock support), only the owner may unlock a lock, no recursive locking, etc. Priority Inheritance - why, oh why??? ------------------------------------- Many of you heard the horror stories about the evil PI code circling Linux for years, which makes no real sense at all and is only used by buggy applications and which has horrible overhead. Some of you have dreaded this very moment, when someone actually submits working PI code ;-) So why would we like to see PI support for futexes? We'd like to see it done purely for technological reasons. We dont think it's a buggy concept, we think it's useful functionality to offer to applications, which functionality cannot be achieved in other ways. We also think it's the right thing to do, and we think we've got the right arguments and the right numbers to prove that. We also believe that we can address all the counter-arguments as well. For these reasons (and the reasons outlined below) we are submitting this patch-set for upstream kernel inclusion. What are the benefits of PI? The short reply: ---------------- User-space PI helps achieving/improving determinism for user-space applications. In the best-case, it can help achieve determinism and well-bound latencies. Even in the worst-case, PI will improve the statistical distribution of locking related application delays. The longer reply: ----------------- Firstly, sharing locks between multiple tasks is a common programming technique that often cannot be replaced with lockless algorithms. As we can see it in the kernel [which is a quite complex program in itself], lockless structures are rather the exception than the norm - the current ratio of lockless vs. locky code for shared data structures is somewhere between 1:10 and 1:100. Lockless is hard, and the complexity of lockless algorithms often endangers to ability to do robust reviews of said code. I.e. critical RT apps often choose lock structures to protect critical data structures, instead of lockless algorithms. Furthermore, there are cases (like shared hardware, or other resource limits) where lockless access is mathematically impossible. Media players (such as Jack) are an example of reasonable application design with multiple tasks (with multiple priority levels) sharing short-held locks: for example, a highprio audio playback thread is combined with medium-prio construct-audio-data threads and low-prio display-colory-stuff threads. Add video and decoding to the mix and we've got even more priority levels. So once we accept that synchronization objects (locks) are an unavoidable fact of life, and once we accept that multi-task userspace apps have a very fair expectation of being able to use locks, we've got to think about how to offer the option of a deterministic locking implementation to user-space. Most of the technical counter-arguments against doing priority inheritance only apply to kernel-space locks. But user-space locks are different, there we cannot disable interrupts or make the task non-preemptible in a critical section, so the 'use spinlocks' argument does not apply (user-space spinlocks have the same priority inversion problems as other user-space locking constructs). Fact is, pretty much the only technique that currently enables good determinism for userspace locks (such as futex-based pthread mutexes) is priority inheritance: Currently (without PI), if a high-prio and a low-prio task shares a lock [this is a quite common scenario for most non-trivial RT applications], even if all critical sections are coded carefully to be deterministic (i.e. all critical sections are short in duration and only execute a limited number of instructions), the kernel cannot guarantee any deterministic execution of the high-prio task: any medium-priority task could preempt the low-prio task while it holds the shared lock and executes the critical section, and could delay it indefinitely. Implementation: --------------- As mentioned before, the userspace fastpath of PI-enabled pthread mutexes involves no kernel work at all - they behave quite similarly to normal futex-based locks: a 0 value means unlocked, and a value==TID means locked. (This is the same method as used by list-based robust futexes.) Userspace uses atomic ops to lock/unlock these mutexes without entering the kernel. To handle the slowpath, we have added two new futex ops: FUTEX_LOCK_PI FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI If the lock-acquire fastpath fails, [i.e. an atomic transition from 0 to TID fails], then FUTEX_LOCK_PI is called. The kernel does all the remaining work: if there is no futex-queue attached to the futex address yet then the code looks up the task that owns the futex [it has put its own TID into the futex value], and attaches a 'PI state' structure to the futex-queue. The pi_state includes an rt-mutex, which is a PI-aware, kernel-based synchronization object. The 'other' task is made the owner of the rt-mutex, and the FUTEX_WAITERS bit is atomically set in the futex value. Then this task tries to lock the rt-mutex, on which it blocks. Once it returns, it has the mutex acquired, and it sets the futex value to its own TID and returns. Userspace has no other work to perform - it now owns the lock, and futex value contains FUTEX_WAITERS|TID. If the unlock side fastpath succeeds, [i.e. userspace manages to do a TID -> 0 atomic transition of the futex value], then no kernel work is triggered. If the unlock fastpath fails (because the FUTEX_WAITERS bit is set), then FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI is called, and the kernel unlocks the futex on the behalf of userspace - and it also unlocks the attached pi_state->rt_mutex and thus wakes up any potential waiters. Note that under this approach, contrary to other PI-futex approaches, there is no prior 'registration' of a PI-futex. [which is not quite possible anyway, due to existing ABI properties of pthread mutexes.] Also, under this scheme, 'robustness' and 'PI' are two orthogonal properties of futexes, and all four combinations are possible: futex, robust-futex, PI-futex, robust+PI-futex. glibc support: -------------- Ulrich Drepper and Jakub Jelinek have written glibc support for PI-futexes (and robust futexes), enabling robust and PI (PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT) POSIX mutexes. (PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT support will be added later on too, no additional kernel changes are needed for that). [NOTE: The glibc patch is obviously inofficial and unsupported without matching upstream kernel functionality.] the patch-queue and the glibc patch can also be downloaded from: http://redhat.com/~mingo/PI-futex-patches/ Many thanks go to the people who helped us create this kernel feature: Steven Rostedt, Esben Nielsen, Benedikt Spranger, Daniel Walker, John Cooper, Arjan van de Ven, Oleg Nesterov and others. Credits for related prior projects goes to Dirk Grambow, Inaky Perez-Gonzalez, Bill Huey and many others. Clean up the futex code, before adding more features to it: - use u32 as the futex field type - that's the ABI - use __user and pointers to u32 instead of unsigned long - code style / comment style cleanups - rename hash-bucket name from 'bh' to 'hb'. I checked the pre and post futex.o object files to make sure this patch has no code effects.

retry:
Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

[PATCH] FUTEX_WAKE_OP: pthread_cond_signal() speedup ATM pthread_cond_signal is unnecessarily slow, because it wakes one waiter (which at least on UP usually means an immediate context switch to one of the waiter threads). This waiter wakes up and after a few instructions it attempts to acquire the cv internal lock, but that lock is still held by the thread calling pthread_cond_signal. So it goes to sleep and eventually the signalling thread is scheduled in, unlocks the internal lock and wakes the waiter again. Now, before 2003-09-21 NPTL was using FUTEX_REQUEUE in pthread_cond_signal to avoid this performance issue, but it was removed when locks were redesigned to the 3 state scheme (unlocked, locked uncontended, locked contended). Following scenario shows why simply using FUTEX_REQUEUE in pthread_cond_signal together with using lll_mutex_unlock_force in place of lll_mutex_unlock is not enough and probably why it has been disabled at that time: The number is value in cv->__data.__lock. thr1 thr2 thr3 0 pthread_cond_wait 1 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock) 0 lll_mutex_unlock (cv->__data.__lock) 0 lll_futex_wait (&cv->__data.__futex, futexval) 0 pthread_cond_signal 1 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock) 1 pthread_cond_signal 2 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock) 2 lll_futex_wait (&cv->__data.__lock, 2) 2 lll_futex_requeue (&cv->__data.__futex, 0, 1, &cv->__data.__lock) # FUTEX_REQUEUE, not FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE 2 lll_mutex_unlock_force (cv->__data.__lock) 0 cv->__data.__lock = 0 0 lll_futex_wake (&cv->__data.__lock, 1) 1 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock) 0 lll_mutex_unlock (cv->__data.__lock) # Here, lll_mutex_unlock doesn't know there are threads waiting # on the internal cv's lock Now, I believe it is possible to use FUTEX_REQUEUE in pthread_cond_signal, but it will cost us not one, but 2 extra syscalls and, what's worse, one of these extra syscalls will be done for every single waiting loop in pthread_cond_*wait. We would need to use lll_mutex_unlock_force in pthread_cond_signal after requeue and lll_mutex_cond_lock in pthread_cond_*wait after lll_futex_wait. Another alternative is to do the unlocking pthread_cond_signal needs to do (the lock can't be unlocked before lll_futex_wake, as that is racy) in the kernel. I have implemented both variants, futex-requeue-glibc.patch is the first one and futex-wake_op{,-glibc}.patch is the unlocking inside of the kernel. The kernel interface allows userland to specify how exactly an unlocking operation should look like (some atomic arithmetic operation with optional constant argument and comparison of the previous futex value with another constant). It has been implemented just for ppc*, x86_64 and i?86, for other architectures I'm including just a stub header which can be used as a starting point by maintainers to write support for their arches and ATM will just return -ENOSYS for FUTEX_WAKE_OP.

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all.

[PATCH] pi-futex: futex code cleanups We are pleased to announce "lightweight userspace priority inheritance" (PI) support for futexes. The following patchset and glibc patch implements it, ontop of the robust-futexes patchset which is included in 2.6.16-mm1. We are calling it lightweight for 3 reasons: - in the user-space fastpath a PI-enabled futex involves no kernel work (or any other PI complexity) at all. No registration, no extra kernel calls - just pure fast atomic ops in userspace. - in the slowpath (in the lock-contention case), the system call and scheduling pattern is in fact better than that of normal futexes, due to the 'integrated' nature of FUTEX_LOCK_PI. [more about that further down] - the in-kernel PI implementation is streamlined around the mutex abstraction, with strict rules that keep the implementation relatively simple: only a single owner may own a lock (i.e. no read-write lock support), only the owner may unlock a lock, no recursive locking, etc. Priority Inheritance - why, oh why??? ------------------------------------- Many of you heard the horror stories about the evil PI code circling Linux for years, which makes no real sense at all and is only used by buggy applications and which has horrible overhead. Some of you have dreaded this very moment, when someone actually submits working PI code ;-) So why would we like to see PI support for futexes? We'd like to see it done purely for technological reasons. We dont think it's a buggy concept, we think it's useful functionality to offer to applications, which functionality cannot be achieved in other ways. We also think it's the right thing to do, and we think we've got the right arguments and the right numbers to prove that. We also believe that we can address all the counter-arguments as well. For these reasons (and the reasons outlined below) we are submitting this patch-set for upstream kernel inclusion. What are the benefits of PI? The short reply: ---------------- User-space PI helps achieving/improving determinism for user-space applications. In the best-case, it can help achieve determinism and well-bound latencies. Even in the worst-case, PI will improve the statistical distribution of locking related application delays. The longer reply: ----------------- Firstly, sharing locks between multiple tasks is a common programming technique that often cannot be replaced with lockless algorithms. As we can see it in the kernel [which is a quite complex program in itself], lockless structures are rather the exception than the norm - the current ratio of lockless vs. locky code for shared data structures is somewhere between 1:10 and 1:100. Lockless is hard, and the complexity of lockless algorithms often endangers to ability to do robust reviews of said code. I.e. critical RT apps often choose lock structures to protect critical data structures, instead of lockless algorithms. Furthermore, there are cases (like shared hardware, or other resource limits) where lockless access is mathematically impossible. Media players (such as Jack) are an example of reasonable application design with multiple tasks (with multiple priority levels) sharing short-held locks: for example, a highprio audio playback thread is combined with medium-prio construct-audio-data threads and low-prio display-colory-stuff threads. Add video and decoding to the mix and we've got even more priority levels. So once we accept that synchronization objects (locks) are an unavoidable fact of life, and once we accept that multi-task userspace apps have a very fair expectation of being able to use locks, we've got to think about how to offer the option of a deterministic locking implementation to user-space. Most of the technical counter-arguments against doing priority inheritance only apply to kernel-space locks. But user-space locks are different, there we cannot disable interrupts or make the task non-preemptible in a critical section, so the 'use spinlocks' argument does not apply (user-space spinlocks have the same priority inversion problems as other user-space locking constructs). Fact is, pretty much the only technique that currently enables good determinism for userspace locks (such as futex-based pthread mutexes) is priority inheritance: Currently (without PI), if a high-prio and a low-prio task shares a lock [this is a quite common scenario for most non-trivial RT applications], even if all critical sections are coded carefully to be deterministic (i.e. all critical sections are short in duration and only execute a limited number of instructions), the kernel cannot guarantee any deterministic execution of the high-prio task: any medium-priority task could preempt the low-prio task while it holds the shared lock and executes the critical section, and could delay it indefinitely. Implementation: --------------- As mentioned before, the userspace fastpath of PI-enabled pthread mutexes involves no kernel work at all - they behave quite similarly to normal futex-based locks: a 0 value means unlocked, and a value==TID means locked. (This is the same method as used by list-based robust futexes.) Userspace uses atomic ops to lock/unlock these mutexes without entering the kernel. To handle the slowpath, we have added two new futex ops: FUTEX_LOCK_PI FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI If the lock-acquire fastpath fails, [i.e. an atomic transition from 0 to TID fails], then FUTEX_LOCK_PI is called. The kernel does all the remaining work: if there is no futex-queue attached to the futex address yet then the code looks up the task that owns the futex [it has put its own TID into the futex value], and attaches a 'PI state' structure to the futex-queue. The pi_state includes an rt-mutex, which is a PI-aware, kernel-based synchronization object. The 'other' task is made the owner of the rt-mutex, and the FUTEX_WAITERS bit is atomically set in the futex value. Then this task tries to lock the rt-mutex, on which it blocks. Once it returns, it has the mutex acquired, and it sets the futex value to its own TID and returns. Userspace has no other work to perform - it now owns the lock, and futex value contains FUTEX_WAITERS|TID. If the unlock side fastpath succeeds, [i.e. userspace manages to do a TID -> 0 atomic transition of the futex value], then no kernel work is triggered. If the unlock fastpath fails (because the FUTEX_WAITERS bit is set), then FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI is called, and the kernel unlocks the futex on the behalf of userspace - and it also unlocks the attached pi_state->rt_mutex and thus wakes up any potential waiters. Note that under this approach, contrary to other PI-futex approaches, there is no prior 'registration' of a PI-futex. [which is not quite possible anyway, due to existing ABI properties of pthread mutexes.] Also, under this scheme, 'robustness' and 'PI' are two orthogonal properties of futexes, and all four combinations are possible: futex, robust-futex, PI-futex, robust+PI-futex. glibc support: -------------- Ulrich Drepper and Jakub Jelinek have written glibc support for PI-futexes (and robust futexes), enabling robust and PI (PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT) POSIX mutexes. (PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT support will be added later on too, no additional kernel changes are needed for that). [NOTE: The glibc patch is obviously inofficial and unsupported without matching upstream kernel functionality.] the patch-queue and the glibc patch can also be downloaded from: http://redhat.com/~mingo/PI-futex-patches/ Many thanks go to the people who helped us create this kernel feature: Steven Rostedt, Esben Nielsen, Benedikt Spranger, Daniel Walker, John Cooper, Arjan van de Ven, Oleg Nesterov and others. Credits for related prior projects goes to Dirk Grambow, Inaky Perez-Gonzalez, Bill Huey and many others. Clean up the futex code, before adding more features to it: - use u32 as the futex field type - that's the ABI - use __user and pointers to u32 instead of unsigned long - code style / comment style cleanups - rename hash-bucket name from 'bh' to 'hb'. I checked the pre and post futex.o object files to make sure this patch has no code effects.

[PATCH] FUTEX_WAKE_OP: pthread_cond_signal() speedup ATM pthread_cond_signal is unnecessarily slow, because it wakes one waiter (which at least on UP usually means an immediate context switch to one of the waiter threads). This waiter wakes up and after a few instructions it attempts to acquire the cv internal lock, but that lock is still held by the thread calling pthread_cond_signal. So it goes to sleep and eventually the signalling thread is scheduled in, unlocks the internal lock and wakes the waiter again. Now, before 2003-09-21 NPTL was using FUTEX_REQUEUE in pthread_cond_signal to avoid this performance issue, but it was removed when locks were redesigned to the 3 state scheme (unlocked, locked uncontended, locked contended). Following scenario shows why simply using FUTEX_REQUEUE in pthread_cond_signal together with using lll_mutex_unlock_force in place of lll_mutex_unlock is not enough and probably why it has been disabled at that time: The number is value in cv->__data.__lock. thr1 thr2 thr3 0 pthread_cond_wait 1 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock) 0 lll_mutex_unlock (cv->__data.__lock) 0 lll_futex_wait (&cv->__data.__futex, futexval) 0 pthread_cond_signal 1 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock) 1 pthread_cond_signal 2 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock) 2 lll_futex_wait (&cv->__data.__lock, 2) 2 lll_futex_requeue (&cv->__data.__futex, 0, 1, &cv->__data.__lock) # FUTEX_REQUEUE, not FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE 2 lll_mutex_unlock_force (cv->__data.__lock) 0 cv->__data.__lock = 0 0 lll_futex_wake (&cv->__data.__lock, 1) 1 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock) 0 lll_mutex_unlock (cv->__data.__lock) # Here, lll_mutex_unlock doesn't know there are threads waiting # on the internal cv's lock Now, I believe it is possible to use FUTEX_REQUEUE in pthread_cond_signal, but it will cost us not one, but 2 extra syscalls and, what's worse, one of these extra syscalls will be done for every single waiting loop in pthread_cond_*wait. We would need to use lll_mutex_unlock_force in pthread_cond_signal after requeue and lll_mutex_cond_lock in pthread_cond_*wait after lll_futex_wait. Another alternative is to do the unlocking pthread_cond_signal needs to do (the lock can't be unlocked before lll_futex_wake, as that is racy) in the kernel. I have implemented both variants, futex-requeue-glibc.patch is the first one and futex-wake_op{,-glibc}.patch is the unlocking inside of the kernel. The kernel interface allows userland to specify how exactly an unlocking operation should look like (some atomic arithmetic operation with optional constant argument and comparison of the previous futex value with another constant). It has been implemented just for ppc*, x86_64 and i?86, for other architectures I'm including just a stub header which can be used as a starting point by maintainers to write support for their arches and ATM will just return -ENOSYS for FUTEX_WAKE_OP. The requeue patch has been (lightly) tested just on x86_64, the wake_op patch on ppc64 kernel running 32-bit and 64-bit NPTL and x86_64 kernel running 32-bit and 64-bit NPTL.

We would need to use lll_mutex_unlock_force in pthread_cond_signal after requeue and lll_mutex_cond_lock in pthread_cond_*wait after lll_futex_wait. Another alternative is to do the unlocking pthread_cond_signal needs to do (the lock can't be unlocked before lll_futex_wake, as that is racy) in the kernel.

futex: Implement lockless wakeups Given the overall futex architecture, any chance of reducing hb->lock contention is welcome. In this particular case, using wake-queues to enable lockless wakeups addresses very much real world performance concerns, even cases of soft-lockups in cases of large amounts of blocked tasks (which is not hard to find in large boxes, using but just a handful of futex). At the lowest level, this patch can reduce latency of a single thread attempting to acquire hb->lock in highly contended scenarios by a up to 2x. At lower counts of nr_wake there are no regressions, confirming, of course, that the wake_q handling overhead is practically non existent. For instance, while a fair amount of variation, the extended pef-bench wakeup benchmark shows for a 20 core machine the following avg per-thread time to wakeup its share of tasks: nr_thr ms-before ms-after 16 0.0590 0.0215 32 0.0396 0.0220 48 0.0417 0.0182 64 0.0536 0.0236 80 0.0414 0.0097 96 0.0672 0.0152 Naturally, this can cause spurious wakeups. However there is no core code that cannot handle them afaict, and furthermore tglx does have the point that other events can already trigger them anyway.

For instance, while a fair amount of variation, the extended pef-bench wakeup benchmark shows for a 20 core machine the following avg per-thread time to wakeup its share of tasks: nr_thr ms-before ms-after 16 0.0590 0.0215 32 0.0396 0.0220 48 0.0417 0.0182 64 0.0536 0.0236 80 0.0414 0.0097 96 0.0672 0.0152 Naturally, this can cause spurious wakeups. However there is no core code that cannot handle them afaict, and furthermore tglx does have the point that other events can already trigger them anyway.

[PATCH] FUTEX_WAKE_OP: pthread_cond_signal() speedup ATM pthread_cond_signal is unnecessarily slow, because it wakes one waiter (which at least on UP usually means an immediate context switch to one of the waiter threads). This waiter wakes up and after a few instructions it attempts to acquire the cv internal lock, but that lock is still held by the thread calling pthread_cond_signal. So it goes to sleep and eventually the signalling thread is scheduled in, unlocks the internal lock and wakes the waiter again. Now, before 2003-09-21 NPTL was using FUTEX_REQUEUE in pthread_cond_signal to avoid this performance issue, but it was removed when locks were redesigned to the 3 state scheme (unlocked, locked uncontended, locked contended). Following scenario shows why simply using FUTEX_REQUEUE in pthread_cond_signal together with using lll_mutex_unlock_force in place of lll_mutex_unlock is not enough and probably why it has been disabled at that time: The number is value in cv->__data.__lock. thr1 thr2 thr3 0 pthread_cond_wait 1 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock) 0 lll_mutex_unlock (cv->__data.__lock) 0 lll_futex_wait (&cv->__data.__futex, futexval) 0 pthread_cond_signal 1 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock) 1 pthread_cond_signal 2 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock) 2 lll_futex_wait (&cv->__data.__lock, 2) 2 lll_futex_requeue (&cv->__data.__futex, 0, 1, &cv->__data.__lock) # FUTEX_REQUEUE, not FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE 2 lll_mutex_unlock_force (cv->__data.__lock) 0 cv->__data.__lock = 0 0 lll_futex_wake (&cv->__data.__lock, 1) 1 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock) 0 lll_mutex_unlock (cv->__data.__lock) # Here, lll_mutex_unlock doesn't know there are threads waiting # on the internal cv's lock Now, I believe it is possible to use FUTEX_REQUEUE in pthread_cond_signal, but it will cost us not one, but 2 extra syscalls and, what's worse, one of these extra syscalls will be done for every single waiting loop in pthread_cond_*wait. We would need to use lll_mutex_unlock_force in pthread_cond_signal after requeue and lll_mutex_cond_lock in pthread_cond_*wait after lll_futex_wait. Another alternative is to do the unlocking pthread_cond_signal needs to do (the lock can't be unlocked before lll_futex_wake, as that is racy) in the kernel. I have implemented both variants, futex-requeue-glibc.patch is the first one and futex-wake_op{,-glibc}.patch is the unlocking inside of the kernel. The kernel interface allows userland to specify how exactly an unlocking operation should look like (some atomic arithmetic operation with optional constant argument and comparison of the previous futex value with another constant). It has been implemented just for ppc*, x86_64 and i?86, for other architectures I'm including just a stub header which can be used as a starting point by maintainers to write support for their arches and ATM will just return -ENOSYS for FUTEX_WAKE_OP. The requeue patch has been (lightly) tested just on x86_64, the wake_op patch on ppc64 kernel running 32-bit and 64-bit NPTL and x86_64 kernel running 32-bit and 64-bit NPTL. With the following benchmark on UP x86-64 I get: for i in nptl-orig nptl-requeue nptl-wake_op; do echo time elf/ld.so --library-path .:$i /tmp/bench; \ for j in 1 2; do echo ( time elf/ld.so --library-path .:$i /tmp/bench ) 2>&1; done; done time elf/ld.so --library-path .:nptl-orig /tmp/bench real 0m0.655s user 0m0.253s sys 0m0.403s real 0m0.657s user 0m0.269s sys 0m0.388s time elf/ld.so --library-path .:nptl-requeue /tmp/bench real 0m0.496s user 0m0.225s sys 0m0.271s real 0m0.531s user 0m0.242s sys 0m0.288s time elf/ld.so --library-path .:nptl-wake_op /tmp/bench real 0m0.380s user 0m0.176s sys 0m0.204s real 0m0.382s user 0m0.175s sys 0m0.207s The benchmark is at: http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2005-03/txt00001.txt Older futex-requeue-glibc.patch version is at: http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2005-03/txt00002.txt Older futex-wake_op-glibc.patch version is at: http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2005-03/txt00003.txt Will post a new version (just x86-64 fixes so that the patch applies against pthread_cond_signal.S) to libc-hacker ml soon. Attached is the kernel FUTEX_WAKE_OP patch as well as a simple-minded testcase that will not test the atomicity of the operation, but at least check if the threads that should have been woken up are woken up and whether the arithmetic operation in the kernel gave the expected results.

futex: Prevent requeue_pi() lock nesting issue on RT The requeue_pi() operation on RT kernels creates a problem versus the task::pi_blocked_on state when a waiter is woken early (signal, timeout) and that early wake up interleaves with the requeue_pi() operation. When the requeue manages to block the waiter on the rtmutex which is associated to the second futex, then a concurrent early wakeup of that waiter faces the problem that it has to acquire the hash bucket spinlock, which is not an issue on non-RT kernels, but on RT kernels spinlocks are substituted by 'sleeping' spinlocks based on rtmutex. If the hash bucket lock is contended then blocking on that spinlock would result in a impossible situation: blocking on two locks at the same time (the hash bucket lock and the rtmutex representing the PI futex). It was considered to make the hash bucket locks raw_spinlocks, but especially requeue operations with a large amount of waiters can introduce significant latencies, so that's not an option for RT. The RT tree carried a solution which (ab)used task::pi_blocked_on to store the information about an ongoing requeue and an early wakeup which worked, but required to add checks for these special states all over the place. The distangling of an early wakeup of a waiter for a requeue_pi() operation is already looking at quite some different states and the task::pi_blocked_on magic just expanded that to a hard to understand 'state machine'. This can be avoided by keeping track of the waiter/requeue state in the futex_q object itself. Add a requeue_state field to struct futex_q with the following possible states: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE Q_REQUEUE_PI_LOCKED The waiter starts with state = NONE and the following state transitions are valid: On the waiter side: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT On the requeue side: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_INPROGRESS Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE/LOCKED Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE (requeue failed) Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE/LOCKED Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE (requeue failed) The requeue side ignores a waiter with state Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE as this signals that the waiter is already on the way out. It also means that the waiter is still on the 'wait' futex, i.e. uaddr1. The waiter side signals early wakeup to the requeue side either through setting state to Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE or to Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT depending on the current state. In case of Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE it can immediately proceed to take the hash bucket lock of uaddr1. If it set state to WAIT, which means the wakeup is interleaving with a requeue in progress it has to wait for the requeue side to change the state. Either to DONE/LOCKED or to IGNORE. DONE/LOCKED means the waiter q is now on the uaddr2 futex and either blocked (DONE) or has acquired it (LOCKED). IGNORE is set by the requeue side when the requeue attempt failed via deadlock detection and therefore the waiter's futex_q is still on the uaddr1 futex. While this is not strictly required on !RT making this unconditional has the benefit of common code and it also allows the waiter to avoid taking the hash bucket lock on the way out in certain cases, which reduces contention. Add the required helpers required for the state transitions, invoke them at the right places and restructure the futex_wait_requeue_pi() code to handle the return from wait (early or not) based on the state machine values. On !RT enabled kernels the waiter spin waits for the state going from Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT to some other state, on RT enabled kernels this is handled by rcuwait_wait_event() and the corresponding wake up on the requeue side.

futex: Update futex_q lock_ptr on requeue proxy lock futex_requeue() can acquire the lock on behalf of a waiter early on or during the requeue loop if it is uncontended or in the event of a lock steal or owner died. On wakeup, the waiter (in futex_wait_requeue_pi()) cleans up the pi_state owner using the lock_ptr to protect against concurrent access to the pi_state. The pi_state is hung off futex_q's on the requeue target futex hash bucket so the lock_ptr needs to be updated accordingly. The problem manifested by triggering the WARN_ON in lookup_pi_state() about the pid != pi_state->owner->pid. With this patch, the pi_state is properly guarded against concurrent access via the requeue target hb lock. The astute reviewer may notice that there is a window of time between when futex_requeue() unlocks the hb locks and when futex_wait_requeue_pi() will acquire hb2->lock. During this time the pi_state and uval are not in sync with the underlying rtmutex owner (but the uval does indicate there are waiters, so no atomic changes will occur in userspace). However, this is not a problem. Should a contending thread enter lookup_pi_state() and acquire hb2->lock before the ownership is fixed up, it will find the pi_state hung off a waiter's (possibly the pending owner's) futex_q and block on the rtmutex. Once futex_wait_requeue_pi() fixes up the owner, it will also move the pi_state from the old owner's task->pi_state_list to its own. v3: Fix plist lock name for application to mainline (rather than -rt) Compile tested against tip/v2.6.31-rc5.

On wakeup, the waiter (in futex_wait_requeue_pi()) cleans up the pi_state owner using the lock_ptr to protect against concurrent access to the pi_state. The pi_state is hung off futex_q's on the requeue target futex hash bucket so the lock_ptr needs to be updated accordingly. The problem manifested by triggering the WARN_ON in lookup_pi_state() about the pid != pi_state->owner->pid. With this patch, the pi_state is properly guarded against concurrent access via the requeue target hb lock. The astute reviewer may notice that there is a window of time between when futex_requeue() unlocks the hb locks and when futex_wait_requeue_pi() will acquire hb2->lock. During this time the pi_state and uval are not in sync with the underlying rtmutex owner (but the uval does indicate there are waiters, so no atomic changes will occur in userspace). However, this is not a problem. Should a contending thread enter lookup_pi_state() and acquire hb2->lock before the ownership is fixed up, it will find the pi_state hung off a waiter's (possibly the pending owner's) futex_q and block on the rtmutex. Once futex_wait_requeue_pi() fixes up the owner, it will also move the pi_state from the old owner's task->pi_state_list to its own. v3: Fix plist lock name for application to mainline (rather than -rt) Compile tested against tip/v2.6.31-rc5.

futex: Prevent requeue_pi() lock nesting issue on RT The requeue_pi() operation on RT kernels creates a problem versus the task::pi_blocked_on state when a waiter is woken early (signal, timeout) and that early wake up interleaves with the requeue_pi() operation. When the requeue manages to block the waiter on the rtmutex which is associated to the second futex, then a concurrent early wakeup of that waiter faces the problem that it has to acquire the hash bucket spinlock, which is not an issue on non-RT kernels, but on RT kernels spinlocks are substituted by 'sleeping' spinlocks based on rtmutex. If the hash bucket lock is contended then blocking on that spinlock would result in a impossible situation: blocking on two locks at the same time (the hash bucket lock and the rtmutex representing the PI futex). It was considered to make the hash bucket locks raw_spinlocks, but especially requeue operations with a large amount of waiters can introduce significant latencies, so that's not an option for RT. The RT tree carried a solution which (ab)used task::pi_blocked_on to store the information about an ongoing requeue and an early wakeup which worked, but required to add checks for these special states all over the place. The distangling of an early wakeup of a waiter for a requeue_pi() operation is already looking at quite some different states and the task::pi_blocked_on magic just expanded that to a hard to understand 'state machine'. This can be avoided by keeping track of the waiter/requeue state in the futex_q object itself. Add a requeue_state field to struct futex_q with the following possible states: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE Q_REQUEUE_PI_LOCKED The waiter starts with state = NONE and the following state transitions are valid: On the waiter side: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT On the requeue side: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_INPROGRESS Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE/LOCKED Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE (requeue failed) Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE/LOCKED Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE (requeue failed) The requeue side ignores a waiter with state Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE as this signals that the waiter is already on the way out. It also means that the waiter is still on the 'wait' futex, i.e. uaddr1. The waiter side signals early wakeup to the requeue side either through setting state to Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE or to Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT depending on the current state. In case of Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE it can immediately proceed to take the hash bucket lock of uaddr1. If it set state to WAIT, which means the wakeup is interleaving with a requeue in progress it has to wait for the requeue side to change the state. Either to DONE/LOCKED or to IGNORE. DONE/LOCKED means the waiter q is now on the uaddr2 futex and either blocked (DONE) or has acquired it (LOCKED). IGNORE is set by the requeue side when the requeue attempt failed via deadlock detection and therefore the waiter's futex_q is still on the uaddr1 futex. While this is not strictly required on !RT making this unconditional has the benefit of common code and it also allows the waiter to avoid taking the hash bucket lock on the way out in certain cases, which reduces contention. Add the required helpers required for the state transitions, invoke them at the right places and restructure the futex_wait_requeue_pi() code to handle the return from wait (early or not) based on the state machine values. On !RT enabled kernels the waiter spin waits for the state going from Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT to some other state, on RT enabled kernels this is handled by rcuwait_wait_event() and the corresponding wake up on the requeue side.

The reason is: parent child set FIFO prio 2 vfork() -> set FIFO prio 1 implies wait_for_child() sched_setscheduler(...) exit() do_exit() .... mm_release() tsk->futex_state = FUTEX_STATE_EXITING; exit_futex(); (NOOP in this case) complete() --> wakes parent sys_futex() loop infinite because tsk->futex_state == FUTEX_STATE_EXITING The same problem can happen just by regular preemption as well: task holds futex ... do_exit() tsk->futex_state = FUTEX_STATE_EXITING; --> preemption (unrelated wakeup of some other higher prio task, e.g. timer) switch_to(other_task) return to user sys_futex() loop infinite as above Just for the fun of it the futex exit cleanup could trigger the wakeup itself before the task sets its futex state to DEAD. To cure this, the handling of the exiting owner is changed so: - A refcount is held on the task - The task pointer is stored in a caller visible location - The caller drops all locks (hash bucket, mmap_sem) and blocks on task::futex_exit_mutex. When the mutex is acquired then the exiting task has completed the cleanup and the state is consistent and can be reevaluated. This is not a pretty solution, but there is no choice other than returning an error code to user space, which would break the state consistency guarantee and open another can of problems including regressions.

futex: Prevent requeue_pi() lock nesting issue on RT The requeue_pi() operation on RT kernels creates a problem versus the task::pi_blocked_on state when a waiter is woken early (signal, timeout) and that early wake up interleaves with the requeue_pi() operation. When the requeue manages to block the waiter on the rtmutex which is associated to the second futex, then a concurrent early wakeup of that waiter faces the problem that it has to acquire the hash bucket spinlock, which is not an issue on non-RT kernels, but on RT kernels spinlocks are substituted by 'sleeping' spinlocks based on rtmutex. If the hash bucket lock is contended then blocking on that spinlock would result in a impossible situation: blocking on two locks at the same time (the hash bucket lock and the rtmutex representing the PI futex). It was considered to make the hash bucket locks raw_spinlocks, but especially requeue operations with a large amount of waiters can introduce significant latencies, so that's not an option for RT. The RT tree carried a solution which (ab)used task::pi_blocked_on to store the information about an ongoing requeue and an early wakeup which worked, but required to add checks for these special states all over the place. The distangling of an early wakeup of a waiter for a requeue_pi() operation is already looking at quite some different states and the task::pi_blocked_on magic just expanded that to a hard to understand 'state machine'. This can be avoided by keeping track of the waiter/requeue state in the futex_q object itself. Add a requeue_state field to struct futex_q with the following possible states: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE Q_REQUEUE_PI_LOCKED The waiter starts with state = NONE and the following state transitions are valid: On the waiter side: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT On the requeue side: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_INPROGRESS Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE/LOCKED Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE (requeue failed) Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE/LOCKED Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE (requeue failed) The requeue side ignores a waiter with state Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE as this signals that the waiter is already on the way out. It also means that the waiter is still on the 'wait' futex, i.e. uaddr1. The waiter side signals early wakeup to the requeue side either through setting state to Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE or to Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT depending on the current state. In case of Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE it can immediately proceed to take the hash bucket lock of uaddr1. If it set state to WAIT, which means the wakeup is interleaving with a requeue in progress it has to wait for the requeue side to change the state. Either to DONE/LOCKED or to IGNORE. DONE/LOCKED means the waiter q is now on the uaddr2 futex and either blocked (DONE) or has acquired it (LOCKED). IGNORE is set by the requeue side when the requeue attempt failed via deadlock detection and therefore the waiter's futex_q is still on the uaddr1 futex. While this is not strictly required on !RT making this unconditional has the benefit of common code and it also allows the waiter to avoid taking the hash bucket lock on the way out in certain cases, which reduces contention. Add the required helpers required for the state transitions, invoke them at the right places and restructure the futex_wait_requeue_pi() code to handle the return from wait (early or not) based on the state machine values. On !RT enabled kernels the waiter spin waits for the state going from Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT to some other state, on RT enabled kernels this is handled by rcuwait_wait_event() and the corresponding wake up on the requeue side.

The reason is: parent child set FIFO prio 2 vfork() -> set FIFO prio 1 implies wait_for_child() sched_setscheduler(...) exit() do_exit() .... mm_release() tsk->futex_state = FUTEX_STATE_EXITING; exit_futex(); (NOOP in this case) complete() --> wakes parent sys_futex() loop infinite because tsk->futex_state == FUTEX_STATE_EXITING The same problem can happen just by regular preemption as well: task holds futex ... do_exit() tsk->futex_state = FUTEX_STATE_EXITING; --> preemption (unrelated wakeup of some other higher prio task, e.g. timer) switch_to(other_task) return to user sys_futex() loop infinite as above Just for the fun of it the futex exit cleanup could trigger the wakeup itself before the task sets its futex state to DEAD. To cure this, the handling of the exiting owner is changed so: - A refcount is held on the task - The task pointer is stored in a caller visible location - The caller drops all locks (hash bucket, mmap_sem) and blocks on task::futex_exit_mutex. When the mutex is acquired then the exiting task has completed the cleanup and the state is consistent and can be reevaluated. This is not a pretty solution, but there is no choice other than returning an error code to user space, which would break the state consistency guarantee and open another can of problems including regressions.

futex: Update futex_q lock_ptr on requeue proxy lock futex_requeue() can acquire the lock on behalf of a waiter early on or during the requeue loop if it is uncontended or in the event of a lock steal or owner died. On wakeup, the waiter (in futex_wait_requeue_pi()) cleans up the pi_state owner using the lock_ptr to protect against concurrent access to the pi_state. The pi_state is hung off futex_q's on the requeue target futex hash bucket so the lock_ptr needs to be updated accordingly. The problem manifested by triggering the WARN_ON in lookup_pi_state() about the pid != pi_state->owner->pid. With this patch, the pi_state is properly guarded against concurrent access via the requeue target hb lock. The astute reviewer may notice that there is a window of time between when futex_requeue() unlocks the hb locks and when futex_wait_requeue_pi() will acquire hb2->lock. During this time the pi_state and uval are not in sync with the underlying rtmutex owner (but the uval does indicate there are waiters, so no atomic changes will occur in userspace). However, this is not a problem. Should a contending thread enter lookup_pi_state() and acquire hb2->lock before the ownership is fixed up, it will find the pi_state hung off a waiter's (possibly the pending owner's) futex_q and block on the rtmutex. Once futex_wait_requeue_pi() fixes up the owner, it will also move the pi_state from the old owner's task->pi_state_list to its own. v3: Fix plist lock name for application to mainline (rather than -rt) Compile tested against tip/v2.6.31-rc5.

struct futex_pi_state *pi_state = NULL;
[PATCH] pi-futex: futex code cleanups We are pleased to announce "lightweight userspace priority inheritance" (PI) support for futexes. The following patchset and glibc patch implements it, ontop of the robust-futexes patchset which is included in 2.6.16-mm1. We are calling it lightweight for 3 reasons: - in the user-space fastpath a PI-enabled futex involves no kernel work (or any other PI complexity) at all. No registration, no extra kernel calls - just pure fast atomic ops in userspace. - in the slowpath (in the lock-contention case), the system call and scheduling pattern is in fact better than that of normal futexes, due to the 'integrated' nature of FUTEX_LOCK_PI. [more about that further down] - the in-kernel PI implementation is streamlined around the mutex abstraction, with strict rules that keep the implementation relatively simple: only a single owner may own a lock (i.e. no read-write lock support), only the owner may unlock a lock, no recursive locking, etc. Priority Inheritance - why, oh why??? ------------------------------------- Many of you heard the horror stories about the evil PI code circling Linux for years, which makes no real sense at all and is only used by buggy applications and which has horrible overhead. Some of you have dreaded this very moment, when someone actually submits working PI code ;-) So why would we like to see PI support for futexes? We'd like to see it done purely for technological reasons. We dont think it's a buggy concept, we think it's useful functionality to offer to applications, which functionality cannot be achieved in other ways. We also think it's the right thing to do, and we think we've got the right arguments and the right numbers to prove that. We also believe that we can address all the counter-arguments as well. For these reasons (and the reasons outlined below) we are submitting this patch-set for upstream kernel inclusion. What are the benefits of PI? The short reply: ---------------- User-space PI helps achieving/improving determinism for user-space applications. In the best-case, it can help achieve determinism and well-bound latencies. Even in the worst-case, PI will improve the statistical distribution of locking related application delays. The longer reply: ----------------- Firstly, sharing locks between multiple tasks is a common programming technique that often cannot be replaced with lockless algorithms. As we can see it in the kernel [which is a quite complex program in itself], lockless structures are rather the exception than the norm - the current ratio of lockless vs. locky code for shared data structures is somewhere between 1:10 and 1:100. Lockless is hard, and the complexity of lockless algorithms often endangers to ability to do robust reviews of said code. I.e. critical RT apps often choose lock structures to protect critical data structures, instead of lockless algorithms. Furthermore, there are cases (like shared hardware, or other resource limits) where lockless access is mathematically impossible. Media players (such as Jack) are an example of reasonable application design with multiple tasks (with multiple priority levels) sharing short-held locks: for example, a highprio audio playback thread is combined with medium-prio construct-audio-data threads and low-prio display-colory-stuff threads. Add video and decoding to the mix and we've got even more priority levels. So once we accept that synchronization objects (locks) are an unavoidable fact of life, and once we accept that multi-task userspace apps have a very fair expectation of being able to use locks, we've got to think about how to offer the option of a deterministic locking implementation to user-space. Most of the technical counter-arguments against doing priority inheritance only apply to kernel-space locks. But user-space locks are different, there we cannot disable interrupts or make the task non-preemptible in a critical section, so the 'use spinlocks' argument does not apply (user-space spinlocks have the same priority inversion problems as other user-space locking constructs). Fact is, pretty much the only technique that currently enables good determinism for userspace locks (such as futex-based pthread mutexes) is priority inheritance: Currently (without PI), if a high-prio and a low-prio task shares a lock [this is a quite common scenario for most non-trivial RT applications], even if all critical sections are coded carefully to be deterministic (i.e. all critical sections are short in duration and only execute a limited number of instructions), the kernel cannot guarantee any deterministic execution of the high-prio task: any medium-priority task could preempt the low-prio task while it holds the shared lock and executes the critical section, and could delay it indefinitely. Implementation: --------------- As mentioned before, the userspace fastpath of PI-enabled pthread mutexes involves no kernel work at all - they behave quite similarly to normal futex-based locks: a 0 value means unlocked, and a value==TID means locked. (This is the same method as used by list-based robust futexes.) Userspace uses atomic ops to lock/unlock these mutexes without entering the kernel. To handle the slowpath, we have added two new futex ops: FUTEX_LOCK_PI FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI If the lock-acquire fastpath fails, [i.e. an atomic transition from 0 to TID fails], then FUTEX_LOCK_PI is called. The kernel does all the remaining work: if there is no futex-queue attached to the futex address yet then the code looks up the task that owns the futex [it has put its own TID into the futex value], and attaches a 'PI state' structure to the futex-queue. The pi_state includes an rt-mutex, which is a PI-aware, kernel-based synchronization object. The 'other' task is made the owner of the rt-mutex, and the FUTEX_WAITERS bit is atomically set in the futex value. Then this task tries to lock the rt-mutex, on which it blocks. Once it returns, it has the mutex acquired, and it sets the futex value to its own TID and returns. Userspace has no other work to perform - it now owns the lock, and futex value contains FUTEX_WAITERS|TID. If the unlock side fastpath succeeds, [i.e. userspace manages to do a TID -> 0 atomic transition of the futex value], then no kernel work is triggered. If the unlock fastpath fails (because the FUTEX_WAITERS bit is set), then FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI is called, and the kernel unlocks the futex on the behalf of userspace - and it also unlocks the attached pi_state->rt_mutex and thus wakes up any potential waiters. Note that under this approach, contrary to other PI-futex approaches, there is no prior 'registration' of a PI-futex. [which is not quite possible anyway, due to existing ABI properties of pthread mutexes.] Also, under this scheme, 'robustness' and 'PI' are two orthogonal properties of futexes, and all four combinations are possible: futex, robust-futex, PI-futex, robust+PI-futex. glibc support: -------------- Ulrich Drepper and Jakub Jelinek have written glibc support for PI-futexes (and robust futexes), enabling robust and PI (PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT) POSIX mutexes. (PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT support will be added later on too, no additional kernel changes are needed for that). [NOTE: The glibc patch is obviously inofficial and unsupported without matching upstream kernel functionality.] the patch-queue and the glibc patch can also be downloaded from: http://redhat.com/~mingo/PI-futex-patches/ Many thanks go to the people who helped us create this kernel feature: Steven Rostedt, Esben Nielsen, Benedikt Spranger, Daniel Walker, John Cooper, Arjan van de Ven, Oleg Nesterov and others. Credits for related prior projects goes to Dirk Grambow, Inaky Perez-Gonzalez, Bill Huey and many others. Clean up the futex code, before adding more features to it: - use u32 as the futex field type - that's the ABI - use __user and pointers to u32 instead of unsigned long - code style / comment style cleanups - rename hash-bucket name from 'bh' to 'hb'. I checked the pre and post futex.o object files to make sure this patch has no code effects.

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something.

futex: Fix regression with read only mappings commit 7485d0d3758e8e6491a5c9468114e74dc050785d (futexes: Remove rw parameter from get_futex_key()) in 2.6.33 fixed two problems: First, It prevented a loop when encountering a ZERO_PAGE. Second, it fixed RW MAP_PRIVATE futex operations by forcing the COW to occur by unconditionally performing a write access get_user_pages_fast() to get the page. The commit also introduced a user-mode regression in that it broke futex operations on read-only memory maps. For example, this breaks workloads that have one or more reader processes doing a FUTEX_WAIT on a futex within a read only shared file mapping, and a writer processes that has a writable mapping issuing the FUTEX_WAKE. This fixes the regression for valid futex operations on RO mappings by trying a RO get_user_pages_fast() when the RW get_user_pages_fast() fails. This change makes it necessary to also check for invalid use cases, such as anonymous RO mappings (which can never change) and the ZERO_PAGE which the commit referenced above was written to address. This patch does restore the original behavior with RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings, which have inherent user-mode usage problems and don't really make sense. With this patch performing a FUTEX_WAIT within a RO MAP_PRIVATE mapping will be successfully woken provided another process updates the region of the underlying mapped file. However, the mmap() man page states that for a MAP_PRIVATE mapping: It is unspecified whether changes made to the file after the mmap() call are visible in the mapped region. So user-mode users attempting to use futex operations on RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings are depending on unspecified behavior. Additionally a RO MAP_PRIVATE mapping could fail to wake up in the following case. Thread-A: call futex(FUTEX_WAIT, memory-region-A). get_futex_key() return inode based key. sleep on the key Thread-B: call mprotect(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, memory-region-A) Thread-B: write memory-region-A. COW happen. This process's memory-region-A become related to new COWed private (ie PageAnon=1) page. Thread-B: call futex(FUETX_WAKE, memory-region-A). get_futex_key() return mm based key. IOW, we fail to wake up Thread-A. Once again doing something like this is just silly and users who do something like this get what they deserve. While RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings are nonsensical, checking for a private mapping requires walking the vmas and was deemed too costly to avoid a userspace hang. This Patch is based on Peter Zijlstra's initial patch with modifications to only allow RO mappings for futex operations that need VERIFY_READ access.

futex: avoid race between requeue and wake Jan Stancek reported: "pthread_cond_broadcast/4-1.c testcase from openposix testsuite (LTP) occasionally fails, because some threads fail to wake up. Testcase creates 5 threads, which are all waiting on same condition. Main thread then calls pthread_cond_broadcast() without holding mutex, which calls: futex(uaddr1, FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PRIVATE, 1, 2147483647, uaddr2, ..) This immediately wakes up single thread A, which unlocks mutex and tries to wake up another thread: futex(uaddr2, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) If thread A manages to call futex_wake() before any waiters are requeued for uaddr2, no other thread is woken up" The ordering constraints for the hash bucket waiter counting are that the waiter counts have to be incremented _before_ getting the spinlock (because the spinlock acts as part of the memory barrier), but the "requeue" operation didn't honor those rules, and nobody had even thought about that case. This fairly simple patch just increments the waiter count for the target hash bucket (hb2) when requeing a futex before taking the locks. It then decrements them again after releasing the lock - the code that actually moves the futex(es) between hash buckets will do the additional required waiter count housekeeping.

[PATCH] pi-futex: futex code cleanups We are pleased to announce "lightweight userspace priority inheritance" (PI) support for futexes. The following patchset and glibc patch implements it, ontop of the robust-futexes patchset which is included in 2.6.16-mm1. We are calling it lightweight for 3 reasons: - in the user-space fastpath a PI-enabled futex involves no kernel work (or any other PI complexity) at all. No registration, no extra kernel calls - just pure fast atomic ops in userspace. - in the slowpath (in the lock-contention case), the system call and scheduling pattern is in fact better than that of normal futexes, due to the 'integrated' nature of FUTEX_LOCK_PI. [more about that further down] - the in-kernel PI implementation is streamlined around the mutex abstraction, with strict rules that keep the implementation relatively simple: only a single owner may own a lock (i.e. no read-write lock support), only the owner may unlock a lock, no recursive locking, etc. Priority Inheritance - why, oh why??? ------------------------------------- Many of you heard the horror stories about the evil PI code circling Linux for years, which makes no real sense at all and is only used by buggy applications and which has horrible overhead. Some of you have dreaded this very moment, when someone actually submits working PI code ;-) So why would we like to see PI support for futexes? We'd like to see it done purely for technological reasons. We dont think it's a buggy concept, we think it's useful functionality to offer to applications, which functionality cannot be achieved in other ways. We also think it's the right thing to do, and we think we've got the right arguments and the right numbers to prove that. We also believe that we can address all the counter-arguments as well. For these reasons (and the reasons outlined below) we are submitting this patch-set for upstream kernel inclusion. What are the benefits of PI? The short reply: ---------------- User-space PI helps achieving/improving determinism for user-space applications. In the best-case, it can help achieve determinism and well-bound latencies. Even in the worst-case, PI will improve the statistical distribution of locking related application delays. The longer reply: ----------------- Firstly, sharing locks between multiple tasks is a common programming technique that often cannot be replaced with lockless algorithms. As we can see it in the kernel [which is a quite complex program in itself], lockless structures are rather the exception than the norm - the current ratio of lockless vs. locky code for shared data structures is somewhere between 1:10 and 1:100. Lockless is hard, and the complexity of lockless algorithms often endangers to ability to do robust reviews of said code. I.e. critical RT apps often choose lock structures to protect critical data structures, instead of lockless algorithms. Furthermore, there are cases (like shared hardware, or other resource limits) where lockless access is mathematically impossible. Media players (such as Jack) are an example of reasonable application design with multiple tasks (with multiple priority levels) sharing short-held locks: for example, a highprio audio playback thread is combined with medium-prio construct-audio-data threads and low-prio display-colory-stuff threads. Add video and decoding to the mix and we've got even more priority levels. So once we accept that synchronization objects (locks) are an unavoidable fact of life, and once we accept that multi-task userspace apps have a very fair expectation of being able to use locks, we've got to think about how to offer the option of a deterministic locking implementation to user-space. Most of the technical counter-arguments against doing priority inheritance only apply to kernel-space locks. But user-space locks are different, there we cannot disable interrupts or make the task non-preemptible in a critical section, so the 'use spinlocks' argument does not apply (user-space spinlocks have the same priority inversion problems as other user-space locking constructs). Fact is, pretty much the only technique that currently enables good determinism for userspace locks (such as futex-based pthread mutexes) is priority inheritance: Currently (without PI), if a high-prio and a low-prio task shares a lock [this is a quite common scenario for most non-trivial RT applications], even if all critical sections are coded carefully to be deterministic (i.e. all critical sections are short in duration and only execute a limited number of instructions), the kernel cannot guarantee any deterministic execution of the high-prio task: any medium-priority task could preempt the low-prio task while it holds the shared lock and executes the critical section, and could delay it indefinitely. Implementation: --------------- As mentioned before, the userspace fastpath of PI-enabled pthread mutexes involves no kernel work at all - they behave quite similarly to normal futex-based locks: a 0 value means unlocked, and a value==TID means locked. (This is the same method as used by list-based robust futexes.) Userspace uses atomic ops to lock/unlock these mutexes without entering the kernel. To handle the slowpath, we have added two new futex ops: FUTEX_LOCK_PI FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI If the lock-acquire fastpath fails, [i.e. an atomic transition from 0 to TID fails], then FUTEX_LOCK_PI is called. The kernel does all the remaining work: if there is no futex-queue attached to the futex address yet then the code looks up the task that owns the futex [it has put its own TID into the futex value], and attaches a 'PI state' structure to the futex-queue. The pi_state includes an rt-mutex, which is a PI-aware, kernel-based synchronization object. The 'other' task is made the owner of the rt-mutex, and the FUTEX_WAITERS bit is atomically set in the futex value. Then this task tries to lock the rt-mutex, on which it blocks. Once it returns, it has the mutex acquired, and it sets the futex value to its own TID and returns. Userspace has no other work to perform - it now owns the lock, and futex value contains FUTEX_WAITERS|TID. If the unlock side fastpath succeeds, [i.e. userspace manages to do a TID -> 0 atomic transition of the futex value], then no kernel work is triggered. If the unlock fastpath fails (because the FUTEX_WAITERS bit is set), then FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI is called, and the kernel unlocks the futex on the behalf of userspace - and it also unlocks the attached pi_state->rt_mutex and thus wakes up any potential waiters. Note that under this approach, contrary to other PI-futex approaches, there is no prior 'registration' of a PI-futex. [which is not quite possible anyway, due to existing ABI properties of pthread mutexes.] Also, under this scheme, 'robustness' and 'PI' are two orthogonal properties of futexes, and all four combinations are possible: futex, robust-futex, PI-futex, robust+PI-futex. glibc support: -------------- Ulrich Drepper and Jakub Jelinek have written glibc support for PI-futexes (and robust futexes), enabling robust and PI (PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT) POSIX mutexes. (PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT support will be added later on too, no additional kernel changes are needed for that). [NOTE: The glibc patch is obviously inofficial and unsupported without matching upstream kernel functionality.] the patch-queue and the glibc patch can also be downloaded from: http://redhat.com/~mingo/PI-futex-patches/ Many thanks go to the people who helped us create this kernel feature: Steven Rostedt, Esben Nielsen, Benedikt Spranger, Daniel Walker, John Cooper, Arjan van de Ven, Oleg Nesterov and others. Credits for related prior projects goes to Dirk Grambow, Inaky Perez-Gonzalez, Bill Huey and many others. Clean up the futex code, before adding more features to it: - use u32 as the futex field type - that's the ABI - use __user and pointers to u32 instead of unsigned long - code style / comment style cleanups - rename hash-bucket name from 'bh' to 'hb'.

futex: Prevent exit livelock Oleg provided the following test case: int main(void) { struct sched_param sp = {}; sp.sched_priority = 2; assert(sched_setscheduler(0, SCHED_FIFO, &sp) == 0); int lock = vfork(); if (!lock) { sp.sched_priority = 1; assert(sched_setscheduler(0, SCHED_FIFO, &sp) == 0); _exit(0); } syscall(__NR_futex, &lock, FUTEX_LOCK_PI, 0,0,0); return 0; } This creates an unkillable RT process spinning in futex_lock_pi() on a UP machine or if the process is affine to a single CPU. The reason is: parent child set FIFO prio 2 vfork() -> set FIFO prio 1 implies wait_for_child() sched_setscheduler(...) exit() do_exit() .... mm_release() tsk->futex_state = FUTEX_STATE_EXITING; exit_futex(); (NOOP in this case) complete() --> wakes parent sys_futex() loop infinite because tsk->futex_state == FUTEX_STATE_EXITING The same problem can happen just by regular preemption as well: task holds futex ... do_exit() tsk->futex_state = FUTEX_STATE_EXITING; --> preemption (unrelated wakeup of some other higher prio task, e.g. timer) switch_to(other_task) return to user sys_futex() loop infinite as above Just for the fun of it the futex exit cleanup could trigger the wakeup itself before the task sets its futex state to DEAD. To cure this, the handling of the exiting owner is changed so: - A refcount is held on the task - The task pointer is stored in a caller visible location - The caller drops all locks (hash bucket, mmap_sem) and blocks on task::futex_exit_mutex. When the mutex is acquired then the exiting task has completed the cleanup and the state is consistent and can be reevaluated.

futex: Prevent requeue_pi() lock nesting issue on RT The requeue_pi() operation on RT kernels creates a problem versus the task::pi_blocked_on state when a waiter is woken early (signal, timeout) and that early wake up interleaves with the requeue_pi() operation. When the requeue manages to block the waiter on the rtmutex which is associated to the second futex, then a concurrent early wakeup of that waiter faces the problem that it has to acquire the hash bucket spinlock, which is not an issue on non-RT kernels, but on RT kernels spinlocks are substituted by 'sleeping' spinlocks based on rtmutex. If the hash bucket lock is contended then blocking on that spinlock would result in a impossible situation: blocking on two locks at the same time (the hash bucket lock and the rtmutex representing the PI futex). It was considered to make the hash bucket locks raw_spinlocks, but especially requeue operations with a large amount of waiters can introduce significant latencies, so that's not an option for RT. The RT tree carried a solution which (ab)used task::pi_blocked_on to store the information about an ongoing requeue and an early wakeup which worked, but required to add checks for these special states all over the place. The distangling of an early wakeup of a waiter for a requeue_pi() operation is already looking at quite some different states and the task::pi_blocked_on magic just expanded that to a hard to understand 'state machine'. This can be avoided by keeping track of the waiter/requeue state in the futex_q object itself. Add a requeue_state field to struct futex_q with the following possible states: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE Q_REQUEUE_PI_LOCKED The waiter starts with state = NONE and the following state transitions are valid: On the waiter side: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT On the requeue side: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_INPROGRESS Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE/LOCKED Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE (requeue failed) Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE/LOCKED Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE (requeue failed) The requeue side ignores a waiter with state Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE as this signals that the waiter is already on the way out. It also means that the waiter is still on the 'wait' futex, i.e. uaddr1. The waiter side signals early wakeup to the requeue side either through setting state to Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE or to Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT depending on the current state. In case of Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE it can immediately proceed to take the hash bucket lock of uaddr1. If it set state to WAIT, which means the wakeup is interleaving with a requeue in progress it has to wait for the requeue side to change the state. Either to DONE/LOCKED or to IGNORE. DONE/LOCKED means the waiter q is now on the uaddr2 futex and either blocked (DONE) or has acquired it (LOCKED). IGNORE is set by the requeue side when the requeue attempt failed via deadlock detection and therefore the waiter's futex_q is still on the uaddr1 futex. While this is not strictly required on !RT making this unconditional has the benefit of common code and it also allows the waiter to avoid taking the hash bucket lock on the way out in certain cases, which reduces contention. Add the required helpers required for the state transitions, invoke them at the right places and restructure the futex_wait_requeue_pi() code to handle the return from wait (early or not) based on the state machine values. On !RT enabled kernels the waiter spin waits for the state going from Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT to some other state, on RT enabled kernels this is handled by rcuwait_wait_event() and the corresponding wake up on the requeue side.

futex: add requeue_pi functionality PI Futexes and their underlying rt_mutex cannot be left ownerless if there are pending waiters as this will break the PI boosting logic, so the standard requeue commands aren't sufficient. The new commands properly manage pi futex ownership by ensuring a futex with waiters has an owner at all times. This will allow glibc to properly handle pi mutexes with pthread_condvars. The approach taken here is to create two new futex op codes: FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI: Tasks will use this op code to wait on a futex (such as a non-pi waitqueue) and wake after they have been requeued to a pi futex. Prior to returning to userspace, they will acquire this pi futex (and the underlying rt_mutex). futex_wait_requeue_pi() is the result of a high speed collision between futex_wait() and futex_lock_pi() (with the first part of futex_lock_pi() being done by futex_proxy_trylock_atomic() on behalf of the top_waiter). FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI (and FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI): This call must be used to wake tasks waiting with FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI, regardless of how many tasks the caller intends to wake or requeue. pthread_cond_broadcast() should call this with nr_wake=1 and nr_requeue=INT_MAX. pthread_cond_signal() should call this with nr_wake=1 and nr_requeue=0.

futex: Prevent exit livelock Oleg provided the following test case: int main(void) { struct sched_param sp = {}; sp.sched_priority = 2; assert(sched_setscheduler(0, SCHED_FIFO, &sp) == 0); int lock = vfork(); if (!lock) { sp.sched_priority = 1; assert(sched_setscheduler(0, SCHED_FIFO, &sp) == 0); _exit(0); } syscall(__NR_futex, &lock, FUTEX_LOCK_PI, 0,0,0); return 0; } This creates an unkillable RT process spinning in futex_lock_pi() on a UP machine or if the process is affine to a single CPU. The reason is: parent child set FIFO prio 2 vfork() -> set FIFO prio 1 implies wait_for_child() sched_setscheduler(...) exit() do_exit() .... mm_release() tsk->futex_state = FUTEX_STATE_EXITING; exit_futex(); (NOOP in this case) complete() --> wakes parent sys_futex() loop infinite because tsk->futex_state == FUTEX_STATE_EXITING The same problem can happen just by regular preemption as well: task holds futex ... do_exit() tsk->futex_state = FUTEX_STATE_EXITING; --> preemption (unrelated wakeup of some other higher prio task, e.g. timer) switch_to(other_task) return to user sys_futex() loop infinite as above Just for the fun of it the futex exit cleanup could trigger the wakeup itself before the task sets its futex state to DEAD. To cure this, the handling of the exiting owner is changed so: - A refcount is held on the task - The task pointer is stored in a caller visible location - The caller drops all locks (hash bucket, mmap_sem) and blocks on task::futex_exit_mutex. When the mutex is acquired then the exiting task has completed the cleanup and the state is consistent and can be reevaluated. This is not a pretty solution, but there is no choice other than returning an error code to user space, which would break the state consistency guarantee and open another can of problems including regressions.

futex: Prevent requeue_pi() lock nesting issue on RT The requeue_pi() operation on RT kernels creates a problem versus the task::pi_blocked_on state when a waiter is woken early (signal, timeout) and that early wake up interleaves with the requeue_pi() operation. When the requeue manages to block the waiter on the rtmutex which is associated to the second futex, then a concurrent early wakeup of that waiter faces the problem that it has to acquire the hash bucket spinlock, which is not an issue on non-RT kernels, but on RT kernels spinlocks are substituted by 'sleeping' spinlocks based on rtmutex. If the hash bucket lock is contended then blocking on that spinlock would result in a impossible situation: blocking on two locks at the same time (the hash bucket lock and the rtmutex representing the PI futex). It was considered to make the hash bucket locks raw_spinlocks, but especially requeue operations with a large amount of waiters can introduce significant latencies, so that's not an option for RT. The RT tree carried a solution which (ab)used task::pi_blocked_on to store the information about an ongoing requeue and an early wakeup which worked, but required to add checks for these special states all over the place. The distangling of an early wakeup of a waiter for a requeue_pi() operation is already looking at quite some different states and the task::pi_blocked_on magic just expanded that to a hard to understand 'state machine'. This can be avoided by keeping track of the waiter/requeue state in the futex_q object itself. Add a requeue_state field to struct futex_q with the following possible states: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE Q_REQUEUE_PI_LOCKED The waiter starts with state = NONE and the following state transitions are valid: On the waiter side: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT On the requeue side: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_INPROGRESS Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE/LOCKED Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE (requeue failed) Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE/LOCKED Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE (requeue failed) The requeue side ignores a waiter with state Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE as this signals that the waiter is already on the way out. It also means that the waiter is still on the 'wait' futex, i.e. uaddr1. The waiter side signals early wakeup to the requeue side either through setting state to Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE or to Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT depending on the current state. In case of Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE it can immediately proceed to take the hash bucket lock of uaddr1. If it set state to WAIT, which means the wakeup is interleaving with a requeue in progress it has to wait for the requeue side to change the state. Either to DONE/LOCKED or to IGNORE. DONE/LOCKED means the waiter q is now on the uaddr2 futex and either blocked (DONE) or has acquired it (LOCKED). IGNORE is set by the requeue side when the requeue attempt failed via deadlock detection and therefore the waiter's futex_q is still on the uaddr1 futex. While this is not strictly required on !RT making this unconditional has the benefit of common code and it also allows the waiter to avoid taking the hash bucket lock on the way out in certain cases, which reduces contention. Add the required helpers required for the state transitions, invoke them at the right places and restructure the futex_wait_requeue_pi() code to handle the return from wait (early or not) based on the state machine values. On !RT enabled kernels the waiter spin waits for the state going from Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT to some other state, on RT enabled kernels this is handled by rcuwait_wait_event() and the corresponding wake up on the requeue side.

futex: Prevent exit livelock Oleg provided the following test case: int main(void) { struct sched_param sp = {}; sp.sched_priority = 2; assert(sched_setscheduler(0, SCHED_FIFO, &sp) == 0); int lock = vfork(); if (!lock) { sp.sched_priority = 1; assert(sched_setscheduler(0, SCHED_FIFO, &sp) == 0); _exit(0); } syscall(__NR_futex, &lock, FUTEX_LOCK_PI, 0,0,0); return 0; } This creates an unkillable RT process spinning in futex_lock_pi() on a UP machine or if the process is affine to a single CPU. The reason is: parent child set FIFO prio 2 vfork() -> set FIFO prio 1 implies wait_for_child() sched_setscheduler(...) exit() do_exit() .... mm_release() tsk->futex_state = FUTEX_STATE_EXITING; exit_futex(); (NOOP in this case) complete() --> wakes parent sys_futex() loop infinite because tsk->futex_state == FUTEX_STATE_EXITING The same problem can happen just by regular preemption as well: task holds futex ... do_exit() tsk->futex_state = FUTEX_STATE_EXITING; --> preemption (unrelated wakeup of some other higher prio task, e.g. timer) switch_to(other_task) return to user sys_futex() loop infinite as above Just for the fun of it the futex exit cleanup could trigger the wakeup itself before the task sets its futex state to DEAD. To cure this, the handling of the exiting owner is changed so: - A refcount is held on the task - The task pointer is stored in a caller visible location - The caller drops all locks (hash bucket, mmap_sem) and blocks on task::futex_exit_mutex. When the mutex is acquired then the exiting task has completed the cleanup and the state is consistent and can be reevaluated. This is not a pretty solution, but there is no choice other than returning an error code to user space, which would break the state consistency guarantee and open another can of problems including regressions.

FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI (and FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI): This call must be used to wake tasks waiting with FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI, regardless of how many tasks the caller intends to wake or requeue. pthread_cond_broadcast() should call this with nr_wake=1 and nr_requeue=INT_MAX. pthread_cond_signal() should call this with nr_wake=1 and nr_requeue=0. The reason being we need both callers to get the benefit of the futex_proxy_trylock_atomic() routine. futex_requeue() also enqueues the top_waiter on the rt_mutex via rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock().

futex: add requeue_pi functionality PI Futexes and their underlying rt_mutex cannot be left ownerless if there are pending waiters as this will break the PI boosting logic, so the standard requeue commands aren't sufficient. The new commands properly manage pi futex ownership by ensuring a futex with waiters has an owner at all times. This will allow glibc to properly handle pi mutexes with pthread_condvars.

futex: Prevent requeue_pi() lock nesting issue on RT The requeue_pi() operation on RT kernels creates a problem versus the task::pi_blocked_on state when a waiter is woken early (signal, timeout) and that early wake up interleaves with the requeue_pi() operation. When the requeue manages to block the waiter on the rtmutex which is associated to the second futex, then a concurrent early wakeup of that waiter faces the problem that it has to acquire the hash bucket spinlock, which is not an issue on non-RT kernels, but on RT kernels spinlocks are substituted by 'sleeping' spinlocks based on rtmutex. If the hash bucket lock is contended then blocking on that spinlock would result in a impossible situation: blocking on two locks at the same time (the hash bucket lock and the rtmutex representing the PI futex). It was considered to make the hash bucket locks raw_spinlocks, but especially requeue operations with a large amount of waiters can introduce significant latencies, so that's not an option for RT. The RT tree carried a solution which (ab)used task::pi_blocked_on to store the information about an ongoing requeue and an early wakeup which worked, but required to add checks for these special states all over the place. The distangling of an early wakeup of a waiter for a requeue_pi() operation is already looking at quite some different states and the task::pi_blocked_on magic just expanded that to a hard to understand 'state machine'. This can be avoided by keeping track of the waiter/requeue state in the futex_q object itself. Add a requeue_state field to struct futex_q with the following possible states: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE Q_REQUEUE_PI_LOCKED The waiter starts with state = NONE and the following state transitions are valid: On the waiter side: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT On the requeue side: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_INPROGRESS Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE/LOCKED Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE (requeue failed) Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE/LOCKED Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE (requeue failed) The requeue side ignores a waiter with state Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE as this signals that the waiter is already on the way out. It also means that the waiter is still on the 'wait' futex, i.e. uaddr1. The waiter side signals early wakeup to the requeue side either through setting state to Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE or to Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT depending on the current state. In case of Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE it can immediately proceed to take the hash bucket lock of uaddr1. If it set state to WAIT, which means the wakeup is interleaving with a requeue in progress it has to wait for the requeue side to change the state. Either to DONE/LOCKED or to IGNORE. DONE/LOCKED means the waiter q is now on the uaddr2 futex and either blocked (DONE) or has acquired it (LOCKED). IGNORE is set by the requeue side when the requeue attempt failed via deadlock detection and therefore the waiter's futex_q is still on the uaddr1 futex. While this is not strictly required on !RT making this unconditional has the benefit of common code and it also allows the waiter to avoid taking the hash bucket lock on the way out in certain cases, which reduces contention. Add the required helpers required for the state transitions, invoke them at the right places and restructure the futex_wait_requeue_pi() code to handle the return from wait (early or not) based on the state machine values. On !RT enabled kernels the waiter spin waits for the state going from Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT to some other state, on RT enabled kernels this is handled by rcuwait_wait_event() and the corresponding wake up on the requeue side.

futex: Implement lockless wakeups Given the overall futex architecture, any chance of reducing hb->lock contention is welcome. In this particular case, using wake-queues to enable lockless wakeups addresses very much real world performance concerns, even cases of soft-lockups in cases of large amounts of blocked tasks (which is not hard to find in large boxes, using but just a handful of futex). At the lowest level, this patch can reduce latency of a single thread attempting to acquire hb->lock in highly contended scenarios by a up to 2x. At lower counts of nr_wake there are no regressions, confirming, of course, that the wake_q handling overhead is practically non existent. For instance, while a fair amount of variation, the extended pef-bench wakeup benchmark shows for a 20 core machine the following avg per-thread time to wakeup its share of tasks: nr_thr ms-before ms-after 16 0.0590 0.0215 32 0.0396 0.0220 48 0.0417 0.0182 64 0.0536 0.0236 80 0.0414 0.0097 96 0.0672 0.0152 Naturally, this can cause spurious wakeups. However there is no core code that cannot handle them afaict, and furthermore tglx does have the point that other events can already trigger them anyway.

wake_up_q(&wake_q);
futex: avoid race between requeue and wake Jan Stancek reported: "pthread_cond_broadcast/4-1.c testcase from openposix testsuite (LTP) occasionally fails, because some threads fail to wake up. Testcase creates 5 threads, which are all waiting on same condition. Main thread then calls pthread_cond_broadcast() without holding mutex, which calls: futex(uaddr1, FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PRIVATE, 1, 2147483647, uaddr2, ..) This immediately wakes up single thread A, which unlocks mutex and tries to wake up another thread: futex(uaddr2, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) If thread A manages to call futex_wake() before any waiters are requeued for uaddr2, no other thread is woken up" The ordering constraints for the hash bucket waiter counting are that the waiter counts have to be incremented _before_ getting the spinlock (because the spinlock acts as part of the memory barrier), but the "requeue" operation didn't honor those rules, and nobody had even thought about that case. This fairly simple patch just increments the waiter count for the target hash bucket (hb2) when requeing a futex before taking the locks. It then decrements them again after releasing the lock - the code that actually moves the futex(es) between hash buckets will do the additional required waiter count housekeeping.

futex: add requeue_pi functionality PI Futexes and their underlying rt_mutex cannot be left ownerless if there are pending waiters as this will break the PI boosting logic, so the standard requeue commands aren't sufficient. The new commands properly manage pi futex ownership by ensuring a futex with waiters has an owner at all times. This will allow glibc to properly handle pi mutexes with pthread_condvars. The approach taken here is to create two new futex op codes: FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI: Tasks will use this op code to wait on a futex (such as a non-pi waitqueue) and wake after they have been requeued to a pi futex. Prior to returning to userspace, they will acquire this pi futex (and the underlying rt_mutex). futex_wait_requeue_pi() is the result of a high speed collision between futex_wait() and futex_lock_pi() (with the first part of futex_lock_pi() being done by futex_proxy_trylock_atomic() on behalf of the top_waiter). FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI (and FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI): This call must be used to wake tasks waiting with FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI, regardless of how many tasks the caller intends to wake or requeue. pthread_cond_broadcast() should call this with nr_wake=1 and nr_requeue=INT_MAX. pthread_cond_signal() should call this with nr_wake=1 and nr_requeue=0. The reason being we need both callers to get the benefit of the futex_proxy_trylock_atomic() routine. futex_requeue() also enqueues the top_waiter on the rt_mutex via rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock().

[PATCH] pi-futex: futex code cleanups We are pleased to announce "lightweight userspace priority inheritance" (PI) support for futexes. The following patchset and glibc patch implements it, ontop of the robust-futexes patchset which is included in 2.6.16-mm1. We are calling it lightweight for 3 reasons: - in the user-space fastpath a PI-enabled futex involves no kernel work (or any other PI complexity) at all. No registration, no extra kernel calls - just pure fast atomic ops in userspace. - in the slowpath (in the lock-contention case), the system call and scheduling pattern is in fact better than that of normal futexes, due to the 'integrated' nature of FUTEX_LOCK_PI. [more about that further down] - the in-kernel PI implementation is streamlined around the mutex abstraction, with strict rules that keep the implementation relatively simple: only a single owner may own a lock (i.e. no read-write lock support), only the owner may unlock a lock, no recursive locking, etc. Priority Inheritance - why, oh why??? ------------------------------------- Many of you heard the horror stories about the evil PI code circling Linux for years, which makes no real sense at all and is only used by buggy applications and which has horrible overhead. Some of you have dreaded this very moment, when someone actually submits working PI code ;-) So why would we like to see PI support for futexes? We'd like to see it done purely for technological reasons. We dont think it's a buggy concept, we think it's useful functionality to offer to applications, which functionality cannot be achieved in other ways. We also think it's the right thing to do, and we think we've got the right arguments and the right numbers to prove that. We also believe that we can address all the counter-arguments as well. For these reasons (and the reasons outlined below) we are submitting this patch-set for upstream kernel inclusion. What are the benefits of PI? The short reply: ---------------- User-space PI helps achieving/improving determinism for user-space applications. In the best-case, it can help achieve determinism and well-bound latencies. Even in the worst-case, PI will improve the statistical distribution of locking related application delays. The longer reply: ----------------- Firstly, sharing locks between multiple tasks is a common programming technique that often cannot be replaced with lockless algorithms. As we can see it in the kernel [which is a quite complex program in itself], lockless structures are rather the exception than the norm - the current ratio of lockless vs. locky code for shared data structures is somewhere between 1:10 and 1:100. Lockless is hard, and the complexity of lockless algorithms often endangers to ability to do robust reviews of said code. I.e. critical RT apps often choose lock structures to protect critical data structures, instead of lockless algorithms. Furthermore, there are cases (like shared hardware, or other resource limits) where lockless access is mathematically impossible. Media players (such as Jack) are an example of reasonable application design with multiple tasks (with multiple priority levels) sharing short-held locks: for example, a highprio audio playback thread is combined with medium-prio construct-audio-data threads and low-prio display-colory-stuff threads. Add video and decoding to the mix and we've got even more priority levels. So once we accept that synchronization objects (locks) are an unavoidable fact of life, and once we accept that multi-task userspace apps have a very fair expectation of being able to use locks, we've got to think about how to offer the option of a deterministic locking implementation to user-space. Most of the technical counter-arguments against doing priority inheritance only apply to kernel-space locks. But user-space locks are different, there we cannot disable interrupts or make the task non-preemptible in a critical section, so the 'use spinlocks' argument does not apply (user-space spinlocks have the same priority inversion problems as other user-space locking constructs). Fact is, pretty much the only technique that currently enables good determinism for userspace locks (such as futex-based pthread mutexes) is priority inheritance: Currently (without PI), if a high-prio and a low-prio task shares a lock [this is a quite common scenario for most non-trivial RT applications], even if all critical sections are coded carefully to be deterministic (i.e. all critical sections are short in duration and only execute a limited number of instructions), the kernel cannot guarantee any deterministic execution of the high-prio task: any medium-priority task could preempt the low-prio task while it holds the shared lock and executes the critical section, and could delay it indefinitely. Implementation: --------------- As mentioned before, the userspace fastpath of PI-enabled pthread mutexes involves no kernel work at all - they behave quite similarly to normal futex-based locks: a 0 value means unlocked, and a value==TID means locked. (This is the same method as used by list-based robust futexes.) Userspace uses atomic ops to lock/unlock these mutexes without entering the kernel. To handle the slowpath, we have added two new futex ops: FUTEX_LOCK_PI FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI If the lock-acquire fastpath fails, [i.e. an atomic transition from 0 to TID fails], then FUTEX_LOCK_PI is called. The kernel does all the remaining work: if there is no futex-queue attached to the futex address yet then the code looks up the task that owns the futex [it has put its own TID into the futex value], and attaches a 'PI state' structure to the futex-queue. The pi_state includes an rt-mutex, which is a PI-aware, kernel-based synchronization object. The 'other' task is made the owner of the rt-mutex, and the FUTEX_WAITERS bit is atomically set in the futex value. Then this task tries to lock the rt-mutex, on which it blocks. Once it returns, it has the mutex acquired, and it sets the futex value to its own TID and returns. Userspace has no other work to perform - it now owns the lock, and futex value contains FUTEX_WAITERS|TID. If the unlock side fastpath succeeds, [i.e. userspace manages to do a TID -> 0 atomic transition of the futex value], then no kernel work is triggered. If the unlock fastpath fails (because the FUTEX_WAITERS bit is set), then FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI is called, and the kernel unlocks the futex on the behalf of userspace - and it also unlocks the attached pi_state->rt_mutex and thus wakes up any potential waiters. Note that under this approach, contrary to other PI-futex approaches, there is no prior 'registration' of a PI-futex. [which is not quite possible anyway, due to existing ABI properties of pthread mutexes.] Also, under this scheme, 'robustness' and 'PI' are two orthogonal properties of futexes, and all four combinations are possible: futex, robust-futex, PI-futex, robust+PI-futex. glibc support: -------------- Ulrich Drepper and Jakub Jelinek have written glibc support for PI-futexes (and robust futexes), enabling robust and PI (PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT) POSIX mutexes. (PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT support will be added later on too, no additional kernel changes are needed for that).

Credits for related prior projects goes to Dirk Grambow, Inaky Perez-Gonzalez, Bill Huey and many others. Clean up the futex code, before adding more features to it: - use u32 as the futex field type - that's the ABI - use __user and pointers to u32 instead of unsigned long - code style / comment style cleanups - rename hash-bucket name from 'bh' to 'hb'.

[PATCH] pi-futex: futex code cleanups We are pleased to announce "lightweight userspace priority inheritance" (PI) support for futexes. The following patchset and glibc patch implements it, ontop of the robust-futexes patchset which is included in 2.6.16-mm1. We are calling it lightweight for 3 reasons: - in the user-space fastpath a PI-enabled futex involves no kernel work (or any other PI complexity) at all. No registration, no extra kernel calls - just pure fast atomic ops in userspace. - in the slowpath (in the lock-contention case), the system call and scheduling pattern is in fact better than that of normal futexes, due to the 'integrated' nature of FUTEX_LOCK_PI. [more about that further down] - the in-kernel PI implementation is streamlined around the mutex abstraction, with strict rules that keep the implementation relatively simple: only a single owner may own a lock (i.e. no read-write lock support), only the owner may unlock a lock, no recursive locking, etc. Priority Inheritance - why, oh why??? ------------------------------------- Many of you heard the horror stories about the evil PI code circling Linux for years, which makes no real sense at all and is only used by buggy applications and which has horrible overhead. Some of you have dreaded this very moment, when someone actually submits working PI code ;-) So why would we like to see PI support for futexes? We'd like to see it done purely for technological reasons. We dont think it's a buggy concept, we think it's useful functionality to offer to applications, which functionality cannot be achieved in other ways. We also think it's the right thing to do, and we think we've got the right arguments and the right numbers to prove that. We also believe that we can address all the counter-arguments as well. For these reasons (and the reasons outlined below) we are submitting this patch-set for upstream kernel inclusion. What are the benefits of PI? The short reply: ---------------- User-space PI helps achieving/improving determinism for user-space applications. In the best-case, it can help achieve determinism and well-bound latencies. Even in the worst-case, PI will improve the statistical distribution of locking related application delays. The longer reply: ----------------- Firstly, sharing locks between multiple tasks is a common programming technique that often cannot be replaced with lockless algorithms. As we can see it in the kernel [which is a quite complex program in itself], lockless structures are rather the exception than the norm - the current ratio of lockless vs. locky code for shared data structures is somewhere between 1:10 and 1:100. Lockless is hard, and the complexity of lockless algorithms often endangers to ability to do robust reviews of said code. I.e. critical RT apps often choose lock structures to protect critical data structures, instead of lockless algorithms. Furthermore, there are cases (like shared hardware, or other resource limits) where lockless access is mathematically impossible. Media players (such as Jack) are an example of reasonable application design with multiple tasks (with multiple priority levels) sharing short-held locks: for example, a highprio audio playback thread is combined with medium-prio construct-audio-data threads and low-prio display-colory-stuff threads. Add video and decoding to the mix and we've got even more priority levels. So once we accept that synchronization objects (locks) are an unavoidable fact of life, and once we accept that multi-task userspace apps have a very fair expectation of being able to use locks, we've got to think about how to offer the option of a deterministic locking implementation to user-space. Most of the technical counter-arguments against doing priority inheritance only apply to kernel-space locks. But user-space locks are different, there we cannot disable interrupts or make the task non-preemptible in a critical section, so the 'use spinlocks' argument does not apply (user-space spinlocks have the same priority inversion problems as other user-space locking constructs). Fact is, pretty much the only technique that currently enables good determinism for userspace locks (such as futex-based pthread mutexes) is priority inheritance: Currently (without PI), if a high-prio and a low-prio task shares a lock [this is a quite common scenario for most non-trivial RT applications], even if all critical sections are coded carefully to be deterministic (i.e. all critical sections are short in duration and only execute a limited number of instructions), the kernel cannot guarantee any deterministic execution of the high-prio task: any medium-priority task could preempt the low-prio task while it holds the shared lock and executes the critical section, and could delay it indefinitely. Implementation: --------------- As mentioned before, the userspace fastpath of PI-enabled pthread mutexes involves no kernel work at all - they behave quite similarly to normal futex-based locks: a 0 value means unlocked, and a value==TID means locked. (This is the same method as used by list-based robust futexes.) Userspace uses atomic ops to lock/unlock these mutexes without entering the kernel. To handle the slowpath, we have added two new futex ops: FUTEX_LOCK_PI FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI If the lock-acquire fastpath fails, [i.e. an atomic transition from 0 to TID fails], then FUTEX_LOCK_PI is called. The kernel does all the remaining work: if there is no futex-queue attached to the futex address yet then the code looks up the task that owns the futex [it has put its own TID into the futex value], and attaches a 'PI state' structure to the futex-queue. The pi_state includes an rt-mutex, which is a PI-aware, kernel-based synchronization object. The 'other' task is made the owner of the rt-mutex, and the FUTEX_WAITERS bit is atomically set in the futex value. Then this task tries to lock the rt-mutex, on which it blocks. Once it returns, it has the mutex acquired, and it sets the futex value to its own TID and returns. Userspace has no other work to perform - it now owns the lock, and futex value contains FUTEX_WAITERS|TID. If the unlock side fastpath succeeds, [i.e. userspace manages to do a TID -> 0 atomic transition of the futex value], then no kernel work is triggered. If the unlock fastpath fails (because the FUTEX_WAITERS bit is set), then FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI is called, and the kernel unlocks the futex on the behalf of userspace - and it also unlocks the attached pi_state->rt_mutex and thus wakes up any potential waiters. Note that under this approach, contrary to other PI-futex approaches, there is no prior 'registration' of a PI-futex. [which is not quite possible anyway, due to existing ABI properties of pthread mutexes.] Also, under this scheme, 'robustness' and 'PI' are two orthogonal properties of futexes, and all four combinations are possible: futex, robust-futex, PI-futex, robust+PI-futex. glibc support: -------------- Ulrich Drepper and Jakub Jelinek have written glibc support for PI-futexes (and robust futexes), enabling robust and PI (PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT) POSIX mutexes. (PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT support will be added later on too, no additional kernel changes are needed for that). [NOTE: The glibc patch is obviously inofficial and unsupported without matching upstream kernel functionality.] the patch-queue and the glibc patch can also be downloaded from: http://redhat.com/~mingo/PI-futex-patches/ Many thanks go to the people who helped us create this kernel feature: Steven Rostedt, Esben Nielsen, Benedikt Spranger, Daniel Walker, John Cooper, Arjan van de Ven, Oleg Nesterov and others. Credits for related prior projects goes to Dirk Grambow, Inaky Perez-Gonzalez, Bill Huey and many others. Clean up the futex code, before adding more features to it: - use u32 as the futex field type - that's the ABI - use __user and pointers to u32 instead of unsigned long - code style / comment style cleanups - rename hash-bucket name from 'bh' to 'hb'.

Add video and decoding to the mix and we've got even more priority levels. So once we accept that synchronization objects (locks) are an unavoidable fact of life, and once we accept that multi-task userspace apps have a very fair expectation of being able to use locks, we've got to think about how to offer the option of a deterministic locking implementation to user-space. Most of the technical counter-arguments against doing priority inheritance only apply to kernel-space locks. But user-space locks are different, there we cannot disable interrupts or make the task non-preemptible in a critical section, so the 'use spinlocks' argument does not apply (user-space spinlocks have the same priority inversion problems as other user-space locking constructs). Fact is, pretty much the only technique that currently enables good determinism for userspace locks (such as futex-based pthread mutexes) is priority inheritance: Currently (without PI), if a high-prio and a low-prio task shares a lock [this is a quite common scenario for most non-trivial RT applications], even if all critical sections are coded carefully to be deterministic (i.e. all critical sections are short in duration and only execute a limited number of instructions), the kernel cannot guarantee any deterministic execution of the high-prio task: any medium-priority task could preempt the low-prio task while it holds the shared lock and executes the critical section, and could delay it indefinitely. Implementation: --------------- As mentioned before, the userspace fastpath of PI-enabled pthread mutexes involves no kernel work at all - they behave quite similarly to normal futex-based locks: a 0 value means unlocked, and a value==TID means locked. (This is the same method as used by list-based robust futexes.) Userspace uses atomic ops to lock/unlock these mutexes without entering the kernel. To handle the slowpath, we have added two new futex ops: FUTEX_LOCK_PI FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI If the lock-acquire fastpath fails, [i.e. an atomic transition from 0 to TID fails], then FUTEX_LOCK_PI is called. The kernel does all the remaining work: if there is no futex-queue attached to the futex address yet then the code looks up the task that owns the futex [it has put its own TID into the futex value], and attaches a 'PI state' structure to the futex-queue. The pi_state includes an rt-mutex, which is a PI-aware, kernel-based synchronization object. The 'other' task is made the owner of the rt-mutex, and the FUTEX_WAITERS bit is atomically set in the futex value. Then this task tries to lock the rt-mutex, on which it blocks. Once it returns, it has the mutex acquired, and it sets the futex value to its own TID and returns. Userspace has no other work to perform - it now owns the lock, and futex value contains FUTEX_WAITERS|TID. If the unlock side fastpath succeeds, [i.e. userspace manages to do a TID -> 0 atomic transition of the futex value], then no kernel work is triggered. If the unlock fastpath fails (because the FUTEX_WAITERS bit is set), then FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI is called, and the kernel unlocks the futex on the behalf of userspace - and it also unlocks the attached pi_state->rt_mutex and thus wakes up any potential waiters. Note that under this approach, contrary to other PI-futex approaches, there is no prior 'registration' of a PI-futex. [which is not quite possible anyway, due to existing ABI properties of pthread mutexes.] Also, under this scheme, 'robustness' and 'PI' are two orthogonal properties of futexes, and all four combinations are possible: futex, robust-futex, PI-futex, robust+PI-futex. glibc support: -------------- Ulrich Drepper and Jakub Jelinek have written glibc support for PI-futexes (and robust futexes), enabling robust and PI (PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT) POSIX mutexes. (PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT support will be added later on too, no additional kernel changes are needed for that). [NOTE: The glibc patch is obviously inofficial and unsupported without matching upstream kernel functionality.] the patch-queue and the glibc patch can also be downloaded from: http://redhat.com/~mingo/PI-futex-patches/ Many thanks go to the people who helped us create this kernel feature: Steven Rostedt, Esben Nielsen, Benedikt Spranger, Daniel Walker, John Cooper, Arjan van de Ven, Oleg Nesterov and others.

Clean up the futex code, before adding more features to it: - use u32 as the futex field type - that's the ABI - use __user and pointers to u32 instead of unsigned long - code style / comment style cleanups - rename hash-bucket name from 'bh' to 'hb'.

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

[PATCH] pi-futex: futex code cleanups We are pleased to announce "lightweight userspace priority inheritance" (PI) support for futexes. The following patchset and glibc patch implements it, ontop of the robust-futexes patchset which is included in 2.6.16-mm1. We are calling it lightweight for 3 reasons: - in the user-space fastpath a PI-enabled futex involves no kernel work (or any other PI complexity) at all. No registration, no extra kernel calls - just pure fast atomic ops in userspace. - in the slowpath (in the lock-contention case), the system call and scheduling pattern is in fact better than that of normal futexes, due to the 'integrated' nature of FUTEX_LOCK_PI. [more about that further down] - the in-kernel PI implementation is streamlined around the mutex abstraction, with strict rules that keep the implementation relatively simple: only a single owner may own a lock (i.e. no read-write lock support), only the owner may unlock a lock, no recursive locking, etc. Priority Inheritance - why, oh why??? ------------------------------------- Many of you heard the horror stories about the evil PI code circling Linux for years, which makes no real sense at all and is only used by buggy applications and which has horrible overhead. Some of you have dreaded this very moment, when someone actually submits working PI code ;-) So why would we like to see PI support for futexes? We'd like to see it done purely for technological reasons. We dont think it's a buggy concept, we think it's useful functionality to offer to applications, which functionality cannot be achieved in other ways. We also think it's the right thing to do, and we think we've got the right arguments and the right numbers to prove that. We also believe that we can address all the counter-arguments as well. For these reasons (and the reasons outlined below) we are submitting this patch-set for upstream kernel inclusion. What are the benefits of PI? The short reply: ---------------- User-space PI helps achieving/improving determinism for user-space applications. In the best-case, it can help achieve determinism and well-bound latencies. Even in the worst-case, PI will improve the statistical distribution of locking related application delays. The longer reply: ----------------- Firstly, sharing locks between multiple tasks is a common programming technique that often cannot be replaced with lockless algorithms. As we can see it in the kernel [which is a quite complex program in itself], lockless structures are rather the exception than the norm - the current ratio of lockless vs. locky code for shared data structures is somewhere between 1:10 and 1:100. Lockless is hard, and the complexity of lockless algorithms often endangers to ability to do robust reviews of said code. I.e. critical RT apps often choose lock structures to protect critical data structures, instead of lockless algorithms. Furthermore, there are cases (like shared hardware, or other resource limits) where lockless access is mathematically impossible. Media players (such as Jack) are an example of reasonable application design with multiple tasks (with multiple priority levels) sharing short-held locks: for example, a highprio audio playback thread is combined with medium-prio construct-audio-data threads and low-prio display-colory-stuff threads.

If the unlock side fastpath succeeds, [i.e. userspace manages to do a TID -> 0 atomic transition of the futex value], then no kernel work is triggered. If the unlock fastpath fails (because the FUTEX_WAITERS bit is set), then FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI is called, and the kernel unlocks the futex on the behalf of userspace - and it also unlocks the attached pi_state->rt_mutex and thus wakes up any potential waiters. Note that under this approach, contrary to other PI-futex approaches, there is no prior 'registration' of a PI-futex. [which is not quite possible anyway, due to existing ABI properties of pthread mutexes.] Also, under this scheme, 'robustness' and 'PI' are two orthogonal properties of futexes, and all four combinations are possible: futex, robust-futex, PI-futex, robust+PI-futex. glibc support: -------------- Ulrich Drepper and Jakub Jelinek have written glibc support for PI-futexes (and robust futexes), enabling robust and PI (PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT) POSIX mutexes. (PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT support will be added later on too, no additional kernel changes are needed for that). [NOTE: The glibc patch is obviously inofficial and unsupported without matching upstream kernel functionality.] the patch-queue and the glibc patch can also be downloaded from: http://redhat.com/~mingo/PI-futex-patches/ Many thanks go to the people who helped us create this kernel feature: Steven Rostedt, Esben Nielsen, Benedikt Spranger, Daniel Walker, John Cooper, Arjan van de Ven, Oleg Nesterov and others. Credits for related prior projects goes to Dirk Grambow, Inaky Perez-Gonzalez, Bill Huey and many others. Clean up the futex code, before adding more features to it: - use u32 as the futex field type - that's the ABI - use __user and pointers to u32 instead of unsigned long - code style / comment style cleanups - rename hash-bucket name from 'bh' to 'hb'. I checked the pre and post futex.o object files to make sure this patch has no code effects.

all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack. Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by making the restart_block harder to locate. Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy targets, at least on some architectures. It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less identical on all architectures.

Prior to returning to userspace, they will acquire this pi futex (and the underlying rt_mutex). futex_wait_requeue_pi() is the result of a high speed collision between futex_wait() and futex_lock_pi() (with the first part of futex_lock_pi() being done by futex_proxy_trylock_atomic() on behalf of the top_waiter). FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI (and FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI): This call must be used to wake tasks waiting with FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI, regardless of how many tasks the caller intends to wake or requeue. pthread_cond_broadcast() should call this with nr_wake=1 and nr_requeue=INT_MAX. pthread_cond_signal() should call this with nr_wake=1 and nr_requeue=0.

futex: Prevent requeue_pi() lock nesting issue on RT The requeue_pi() operation on RT kernels creates a problem versus the task::pi_blocked_on state when a waiter is woken early (signal, timeout) and that early wake up interleaves with the requeue_pi() operation. When the requeue manages to block the waiter on the rtmutex which is associated to the second futex, then a concurrent early wakeup of that waiter faces the problem that it has to acquire the hash bucket spinlock, which is not an issue on non-RT kernels, but on RT kernels spinlocks are substituted by 'sleeping' spinlocks based on rtmutex. If the hash bucket lock is contended then blocking on that spinlock would result in a impossible situation: blocking on two locks at the same time (the hash bucket lock and the rtmutex representing the PI futex). It was considered to make the hash bucket locks raw_spinlocks, but especially requeue operations with a large amount of waiters can introduce significant latencies, so that's not an option for RT. The RT tree carried a solution which (ab)used task::pi_blocked_on to store the information about an ongoing requeue and an early wakeup which worked, but required to add checks for these special states all over the place. The distangling of an early wakeup of a waiter for a requeue_pi() operation is already looking at quite some different states and the task::pi_blocked_on magic just expanded that to a hard to understand 'state machine'. This can be avoided by keeping track of the waiter/requeue state in the futex_q object itself. Add a requeue_state field to struct futex_q with the following possible states: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE Q_REQUEUE_PI_LOCKED The waiter starts with state = NONE and the following state transitions are valid: On the waiter side: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT On the requeue side: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_INPROGRESS Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE/LOCKED Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE (requeue failed) Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE/LOCKED Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE (requeue failed) The requeue side ignores a waiter with state Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE as this signals that the waiter is already on the way out. It also means that the waiter is still on the 'wait' futex, i.e. uaddr1. The waiter side signals early wakeup to the requeue side either through setting state to Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE or to Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT depending on the current state. In case of Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE it can immediately proceed to take the hash bucket lock of uaddr1. If it set state to WAIT, which means the wakeup is interleaving with a requeue in progress it has to wait for the requeue side to change the state. Either to DONE/LOCKED or to IGNORE. DONE/LOCKED means the waiter q is now on the uaddr2 futex and either blocked (DONE) or has acquired it (LOCKED). IGNORE is set by the requeue side when the requeue attempt failed via deadlock detection and therefore the waiter's futex_q is still on the uaddr1 futex. While this is not strictly required on !RT making this unconditional has the benefit of common code and it also allows the waiter to avoid taking the hash bucket lock on the way out in certain cases, which reduces contention. Add the required helpers required for the state transitions, invoke them at the right places and restructure the futex_wait_requeue_pi() code to handle the return from wait (early or not) based on the state machine values. On !RT enabled kernels the waiter spin waits for the state going from Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT to some other state, on RT enabled kernels this is handled by rcuwait_wait_event() and the corresponding wake up on the requeue side.

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

futex: Prevent requeue_pi() lock nesting issue on RT The requeue_pi() operation on RT kernels creates a problem versus the task::pi_blocked_on state when a waiter is woken early (signal, timeout) and that early wake up interleaves with the requeue_pi() operation. When the requeue manages to block the waiter on the rtmutex which is associated to the second futex, then a concurrent early wakeup of that waiter faces the problem that it has to acquire the hash bucket spinlock, which is not an issue on non-RT kernels, but on RT kernels spinlocks are substituted by 'sleeping' spinlocks based on rtmutex. If the hash bucket lock is contended then blocking on that spinlock would result in a impossible situation: blocking on two locks at the same time (the hash bucket lock and the rtmutex representing the PI futex). It was considered to make the hash bucket locks raw_spinlocks, but especially requeue operations with a large amount of waiters can introduce significant latencies, so that's not an option for RT. The RT tree carried a solution which (ab)used task::pi_blocked_on to store the information about an ongoing requeue and an early wakeup which worked, but required to add checks for these special states all over the place. The distangling of an early wakeup of a waiter for a requeue_pi() operation is already looking at quite some different states and the task::pi_blocked_on magic just expanded that to a hard to understand 'state machine'. This can be avoided by keeping track of the waiter/requeue state in the futex_q object itself. Add a requeue_state field to struct futex_q with the following possible states: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE Q_REQUEUE_PI_LOCKED The waiter starts with state = NONE and the following state transitions are valid: On the waiter side: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT On the requeue side: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_INPROGRESS Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE/LOCKED Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE (requeue failed) Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE/LOCKED Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE (requeue failed) The requeue side ignores a waiter with state Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE as this signals that the waiter is already on the way out. It also means that the waiter is still on the 'wait' futex, i.e. uaddr1. The waiter side signals early wakeup to the requeue side either through setting state to Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE or to Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT depending on the current state. In case of Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE it can immediately proceed to take the hash bucket lock of uaddr1. If it set state to WAIT, which means the wakeup is interleaving with a requeue in progress it has to wait for the requeue side to change the state. Either to DONE/LOCKED or to IGNORE. DONE/LOCKED means the waiter q is now on the uaddr2 futex and either blocked (DONE) or has acquired it (LOCKED). IGNORE is set by the requeue side when the requeue attempt failed via deadlock detection and therefore the waiter's futex_q is still on the uaddr1 futex. While this is not strictly required on !RT making this unconditional has the benefit of common code and it also allows the waiter to avoid taking the hash bucket lock on the way out in certain cases, which reduces contention. Add the required helpers required for the state transitions, invoke them at the right places and restructure the futex_wait_requeue_pi() code to handle the return from wait (early or not) based on the state machine values. On !RT enabled kernels the waiter spin waits for the state going from Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT to some other state, on RT enabled kernels this is handled by rcuwait_wait_event() and the corresponding wake up on the requeue side.

FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI (and FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI): This call must be used to wake tasks waiting with FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI, regardless of how many tasks the caller intends to wake or requeue. pthread_cond_broadcast() should call this with nr_wake=1 and nr_requeue=INT_MAX. pthread_cond_signal() should call this with nr_wake=1 and nr_requeue=0.

futex: Prevent requeue_pi() lock nesting issue on RT The requeue_pi() operation on RT kernels creates a problem versus the task::pi_blocked_on state when a waiter is woken early (signal, timeout) and that early wake up interleaves with the requeue_pi() operation. When the requeue manages to block the waiter on the rtmutex which is associated to the second futex, then a concurrent early wakeup of that waiter faces the problem that it has to acquire the hash bucket spinlock, which is not an issue on non-RT kernels, but on RT kernels spinlocks are substituted by 'sleeping' spinlocks based on rtmutex. If the hash bucket lock is contended then blocking on that spinlock would result in a impossible situation: blocking on two locks at the same time (the hash bucket lock and the rtmutex representing the PI futex). It was considered to make the hash bucket locks raw_spinlocks, but especially requeue operations with a large amount of waiters can introduce significant latencies, so that's not an option for RT. The RT tree carried a solution which (ab)used task::pi_blocked_on to store the information about an ongoing requeue and an early wakeup which worked, but required to add checks for these special states all over the place. The distangling of an early wakeup of a waiter for a requeue_pi() operation is already looking at quite some different states and the task::pi_blocked_on magic just expanded that to a hard to understand 'state machine'. This can be avoided by keeping track of the waiter/requeue state in the futex_q object itself. Add a requeue_state field to struct futex_q with the following possible states: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE Q_REQUEUE_PI_LOCKED The waiter starts with state = NONE and the following state transitions are valid: On the waiter side: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT On the requeue side: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_INPROGRESS Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE/LOCKED Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE (requeue failed) Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE/LOCKED Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE (requeue failed) The requeue side ignores a waiter with state Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE as this signals that the waiter is already on the way out. It also means that the waiter is still on the 'wait' futex, i.e. uaddr1. The waiter side signals early wakeup to the requeue side either through setting state to Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE or to Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT depending on the current state. In case of Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE it can immediately proceed to take the hash bucket lock of uaddr1. If it set state to WAIT, which means the wakeup is interleaving with a requeue in progress it has to wait for the requeue side to change the state. Either to DONE/LOCKED or to IGNORE. DONE/LOCKED means the waiter q is now on the uaddr2 futex and either blocked (DONE) or has acquired it (LOCKED). IGNORE is set by the requeue side when the requeue attempt failed via deadlock detection and therefore the waiter's futex_q is still on the uaddr1 futex. While this is not strictly required on !RT making this unconditional has the benefit of common code and it also allows the waiter to avoid taking the hash bucket lock on the way out in certain cases, which reduces contention. Add the required helpers required for the state transitions, invoke them at the right places and restructure the futex_wait_requeue_pi() code to handle the return from wait (early or not) based on the state machine values. On !RT enabled kernels the waiter spin waits for the state going from Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT to some other state, on RT enabled kernels this is handled by rcuwait_wait_event() and the corresponding wake up on the requeue side.

The waiter side signals early wakeup to the requeue side either through setting state to Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE or to Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT depending on the current state. In case of Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE it can immediately proceed to take the hash bucket lock of uaddr1. If it set state to WAIT, which means the wakeup is interleaving with a requeue in progress it has to wait for the requeue side to change the state. Either to DONE/LOCKED or to IGNORE. DONE/LOCKED means the waiter q is now on the uaddr2 futex and either blocked (DONE) or has acquired it (LOCKED). IGNORE is set by the requeue side when the requeue attempt failed via deadlock detection and therefore the waiter's futex_q is still on the uaddr1 futex. While this is not strictly required on !RT making this unconditional has the benefit of common code and it also allows the waiter to avoid taking the hash bucket lock on the way out in certain cases, which reduces contention. Add the required helpers required for the state transitions, invoke them at the right places and restructure the futex_wait_requeue_pi() code to handle the return from wait (early or not) based on the state machine values. On !RT enabled kernels the waiter spin waits for the state going from Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT to some other state, on RT enabled kernels this is handled by rcuwait_wait_event() and the corresponding wake up on the requeue side.

BUG();
futex: add requeue_pi functionality PI Futexes and their underlying rt_mutex cannot be left ownerless if there are pending waiters as this will break the PI boosting logic, so the standard requeue commands aren't sufficient. The new commands properly manage pi futex ownership by ensuring a futex with waiters has an owner at all times. This will allow glibc to properly handle pi mutexes with pthread_condvars. The approach taken here is to create two new futex op codes: FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI: Tasks will use this op code to wait on a futex (such as a non-pi waitqueue) and wake after they have been requeued to a pi futex. Prior to returning to userspace, they will acquire this pi futex (and the underlying rt_mutex). futex_wait_requeue_pi() is the result of a high speed collision between futex_wait() and futex_lock_pi() (with the first part of futex_lock_pi() being done by futex_proxy_trylock_atomic() on behalf of the top_waiter). FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI (and FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI): This call must be used to wake tasks waiting with FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI, regardless of how many tasks the caller intends to wake or requeue. pthread_cond_broadcast() should call this with nr_wake=1 and nr_requeue=INT_MAX. pthread_cond_signal() should call this with nr_wake=1 and nr_requeue=0. The reason being we need both callers to get the benefit of the futex_proxy_trylock_atomic() routine. futex_requeue() also enqueues the top_waiter on the rt_mutex via rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock().

futex: Prevent robust futex exit race Robust futexes utilize the robust_list mechanism to allow the kernel to release futexes which are held when a task exits. The exit can be voluntary or caused by a signal or fault. This prevents that waiters block forever. The futex operations in user space store a pointer to the futex they are either locking or unlocking in the op_pending member of the per task robust list. After a lock operation has succeeded the futex is queued in the robust list linked list and the op_pending pointer is cleared. After an unlock operation has succeeded the futex is removed from the robust list linked list and the op_pending pointer is cleared. The robust list exit code checks for the pending operation and any futex which is queued in the linked list. It carefully checks whether the futex value is the TID of the exiting task. If so, it sets the OWNER_DIED bit and tries to wake up a potential waiter. This is race free for the lock operation but unlock has two race scenarios where waiters might not be woken up. These issues can be observed with regular robust pthread mutexes. PI aware pthread mutexes are not affected.

In both scenarios the following conditions are true: - task->robust_list->list_op_pending != NULL - user space futex value == 0 - Regular futex (not PI) If these conditions are met then it is reasonably safe to wake up a potential waiter in order to prevent the above problems.

futex: runtime enable pi and robust functionality Not all architectures implement futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(). The default implementation returns -ENOSYS, which is currently not handled inside of the futex guts. Futex PI calls and robust list exits with a held futex result in an endless loop in the futex code on architectures which have no support. Fixing up every place where futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() is called would add a fair amount of extra if/else constructs to the already complex code. It is also not possible to disable the robust feature before user space tries to register robust lists. Compile time disabling is not a good idea either, as there are already architectures with runtime detection of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic support. Detect the functionality at runtime instead by calling cmpxchg_futex_value_locked() with a NULL pointer from the futex initialization code. This is guaranteed to fail, but the call of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() happens with pagefaults disabled. On architectures, which use the asm-generic implementation or have a runtime CPU feature detection, a -ENOSYS return value disables the PI/robust features. On architectures with a working implementation the call returns -EFAULT and the PI/robust features are enabled. The relevant syscalls return -ENOSYS and the robust list exit code is blocked, when the detection fails.

futex: Prevent robust futex exit race Robust futexes utilize the robust_list mechanism to allow the kernel to release futexes which are held when a task exits. The exit can be voluntary or caused by a signal or fault. This prevents that waiters block forever. The futex operations in user space store a pointer to the futex they are either locking or unlocking in the op_pending member of the per task robust list. After a lock operation has succeeded the futex is queued in the robust list linked list and the op_pending pointer is cleared. After an unlock operation has succeeded the futex is removed from the robust list linked list and the op_pending pointer is cleared. The robust list exit code checks for the pending operation and any futex which is queued in the linked list. It carefully checks whether the futex value is the TID of the exiting task. If so, it sets the OWNER_DIED bit and tries to wake up a potential waiter. This is race free for the lock operation but unlock has two race scenarios where waiters might not be woken up. These issues can be observed with regular robust pthread mutexes. PI aware pthread mutexes are not affected. (1) Unlocking task is killed after unlocking the futex value in user space before being able to wake a waiter. pthread_mutex_unlock() | V atomic_exchange_rel (&mutex->__data.__lock, 0) <------------------------killed lll_futex_wake () | | |(__lock = 0) |(enter kernel) | V do_exit() exit_mm() mm_release() exit_robust_list() handle_futex_death() | |(__lock = 0) |(uval = 0) | V if ((uval & FUTEX_TID_MASK) != task_pid_vnr(curr)) return 0; The sanity check which ensures that the user space futex is owned by the exiting task prevents the wakeup of waiters which in consequence block infinitely.

In both scenarios the following conditions are true: - task->robust_list->list_op_pending != NULL - user space futex value == 0 - Regular futex (not PI) If these conditions are met then it is reasonably safe to wake up a potential waiter in order to prevent the above problems. As this might be a false positive it can cause spurious wakeups, but the waiter side has to handle other types of unrelated wakeups, e.g. signals gracefully anyway. So such a spurious wakeup will not affect the correctness of these operations. This workaround must not touch the user space futex value and cannot set the OWNER_DIED bit because the lock value is 0, i.e. uncontended. Setting OWNER_DIED in this case would result in inconsistent state and subsequently in malfunction of the owner died handling in user space. The rest of the user space state is still consistent as no other task can observe the list_op_pending entry in the exiting tasks robust list.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining needless uses with the following script: git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \ xargs perl -pi -e \ 's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g; s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;' drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid pathological white-space.

futex: Prevent robust futex exit race Robust futexes utilize the robust_list mechanism to allow the kernel to release futexes which are held when a task exits. The exit can be voluntary or caused by a signal or fault. This prevents that waiters block forever. The futex operations in user space store a pointer to the futex they are either locking or unlocking in the op_pending member of the per task robust list. After a lock operation has succeeded the futex is queued in the robust list linked list and the op_pending pointer is cleared. After an unlock operation has succeeded the futex is removed from the robust list linked list and the op_pending pointer is cleared. The robust list exit code checks for the pending operation and any futex which is queued in the linked list. It carefully checks whether the futex value is the TID of the exiting task. If so, it sets the OWNER_DIED bit and tries to wake up a potential waiter. This is race free for the lock operation but unlock has two race scenarios where waiters might not be woken up. These issues can be observed with regular robust pthread mutexes. PI aware pthread mutexes are not affected.

In both scenarios the following conditions are true: - task->robust_list->list_op_pending != NULL - user space futex value == 0 - Regular futex (not PI) If these conditions are met then it is reasonably safe to wake up a potential waiter in order to prevent the above problems. As this might be a false positive it can cause spurious wakeups, but the waiter side has to handle other types of unrelated wakeups, e.g. signals gracefully anyway. So such a spurious wakeup will not affect the correctness of these operations. This workaround must not touch the user space futex value and cannot set the OWNER_DIED bit because the lock value is 0, i.e. uncontended.

futexes: Increase hash table size for better performance Currently, the futex global hash table suffers from its fixed, smallish (for today's standards) size of 256 entries, as well as its lack of NUMA awareness. Large systems, using many futexes, can be prone to high amounts of collisions; where these futexes hash to the same bucket and lead to extra contention on the same hb->lock. Furthermore, cacheline bouncing is a reality when we have multiple hb->locks residing on the same cacheline and different futexes hash to adjacent buckets. This patch keeps the current static size of 16 entries for small systems, or otherwise, 256 * ncpus (or larger as we need to round the number to a power of 2). Note that this number of CPUs accounts for all CPUs that can ever be available in the system, taking into consideration things like hotpluging. While we do impose extra overhead at bootup by making the hash table larger, this is a one time thing, and does not shadow the benefits of this patch. Furthermore, as suggested by tglx, by cache aligning the hash buckets we can avoid access across cacheline boundaries and also avoid massive cache line bouncing if multiple cpus are hammering away at different hash buckets which happen to reside in the same cache line. Also, similar to other core kernel components (pid, dcache, tcp), by using alloc_large_system_hash() we benefit from its NUMA awareness and thus the table is distributed among the nodes instead of in a single one. For a custom microbenchmark that pounds on the uaddr hashing -- making the wait path fail at futex_wait_setup() returning -EWOULDBLOCK for large amounts of futexes, we can see the following benefits on a 80-core, 8-socket 1Tb server: +---------+--------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------+ | threads | baseline (ops/sec) | aligned-only (ops/sec) | large table (ops/sec) | large table+aligned (ops/sec) | +---------+--------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------+ |     512 |              32426 | 50531  (+55.8%)        | 255274  (+687.2%)     | 292553  (+802.2%)             | |     256 |              65360 | 99588  (+52.3%)        | 443563  (+578.6%)     | 508088  (+677.3%)             | |     128 |             125635 | 200075 (+59.2%)        | 742613  (+491.1%)     | 835452  (+564.9%)             | |      80 |             193559 | 323425 (+67.1%)        | 1028147 (+431.1%)     | 1130304 (+483.9%)             | |      64 |             247667 | 443740 (+79.1%)        | 997300  (+302.6%)     | 1145494 (+362.5%)             | |      32 |             628412 | 721401 (+14.7%)        | 965996  (+53.7%)      | 1122115 (+78.5%)              | +---------+--------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------+ Reviewed-by: Darren Hart <dvhart@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Paul E.

futexes: Increase hash table size for better performance Currently, the futex global hash table suffers from its fixed, smallish (for today's standards) size of 256 entries, as well as its lack of NUMA awareness. Large systems, using many futexes, can be prone to high amounts of collisions; where these futexes hash to the same bucket and lead to extra contention on the same hb->lock. Furthermore, cacheline bouncing is a reality when we have multiple hb->locks residing on the same cacheline and different futexes hash to adjacent buckets. This patch keeps the current static size of 16 entries for small systems, or otherwise, 256 * ncpus (or larger as we need to round the number to a power of 2). Note that this number of CPUs accounts for all CPUs that can ever be available in the system, taking into consideration things like hotpluging. While we do impose extra overhead at bootup by making the hash table larger, this is a one time thing, and does not shadow the benefits of this patch. Furthermore, as suggested by tglx, by cache aligning the hash buckets we can avoid access across cacheline boundaries and also avoid massive cache line bouncing if multiple cpus are hammering away at different hash buckets which happen to reside in the same cache line. Also, similar to other core kernel components (pid, dcache, tcp), by using alloc_large_system_hash() we benefit from its NUMA awareness and thus the table is distributed among the nodes instead of in a single one. For a custom microbenchmark that pounds on the uaddr hashing -- making the wait path fail at futex_wait_setup() returning -EWOULDBLOCK for large amounts of futexes, we can see the following benefits on a 80-core, 8-socket 1Tb server: +---------+--------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------+ | threads | baseline (ops/sec) | aligned-only (ops/sec) | large table (ops/sec) | large table+aligned (ops/sec) | +---------+--------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------+ |     512 |              32426 | 50531  (+55.8%)        | 255274  (+687.2%)     | 292553  (+802.2%)             | |     256 |              65360 | 99588  (+52.3%)        | 443563  (+578.6%)     | 508088  (+677.3%)             | |     128 |             125635 | 200075 (+59.2%)        | 742613  (+491.1%)     | 835452  (+564.9%)             | |      80 |             193559 | 323425 (+67.1%)        | 1028147 (+431.1%)     | 1130304 (+483.9%)             | |      64 |             247667 | 443740 (+79.1%)        | 997300  (+302.6%)     | 1145494 (+362.5%)             | |      32 |             628412 | 721401 (+14.7%)        | 965996  (+53.7%)      | 1122115 (+78.5%)              | +---------+--------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------+ Reviewed-by: Darren Hart <dvhart@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Paul E.
