sched: Add missing memory barrier in switch_mm_cid

Many architectures' switch_mm() (e.g. arm64) do not have an smp_mb()
which the core scheduler code has depended upon since commit:

commit 223baf9d17f25 ("sched: Fix performance regression introduced by mm_cid")

If switch_mm() doesn't call smp_mb(), sched_mm_cid_remote_clear() can
unset the actively used cid when it fails to observe active task after it
sets lazy_put.

There *is* a memory barrier between storing to rq->curr and _return to
userspace_ (as required by membarrier), but the rseq mm_cid has stricter
requirements: the barrier needs to be issued between store to rq->curr
and switch_mm_cid(), which happens earlier than:

- spin_unlock(),
- switch_to().

So it's fine when the architecture switch_mm() happens to have that
barrier already, but less so when the architecture only provides the
full barrier in switch_to() or spin_unlock().

It is a bug in the rseq switch_mm_cid() implementation. All architectures
that don't have memory barriers in switch_mm(), but rather have the full
barrier either in finish_lock_switch() or switch_to() have them too late
for the needs of switch_mm_cid().

Introduce a new smp_mb__after_switch_mm(), defined as smp_mb() in the
generic barrier.h header, and use it in switch_mm_cid() for scheduler
transitions where switch_mm() is expected to provide a memory barrier.

Architectures can override smp_mb__after_switch_mm() if their
switch_mm() implementation provides an implicit memory barrier.
Override it with a no-op on x86 which implicitly provide this memory
barrier by writing to CR3.

asm-generic: remove extra type checking in acquire/release for non-SMP case

If CONFIG_SMP is not enabled, the smp_load_acquire/smp_store_release is
implemented as READ_ONCE/READ_ONCE and barrier() and type checking.
READ_ONCE/READ_ONCE already checks the pointer type, and then checks it
more stringently outside, but the non-SMP case simply isn't relevant, so
remove the extra compiletime_assert_atomic_type() to avoid compilation
errors.

locking/barriers, kcsan: Support generic instrumentation

Thus far only smp_*() barriers had been defined by asm-generic/barrier.h
based on __smp_*() barriers, because the !SMP case is usually generic.

With the introduction of instrumentation, it also makes sense to have
asm-generic/barrier.h assist in the definition of instrumented versions
of mb(), rmb(), wmb(), dma_rmb(), and dma_wmb().

Because there is no requirement to distinguish the !SMP case, the
definition can be simpler: we can avoid also providing fallbacks for the
__ prefixed cases, and only check if `defined(__<barrier>)`, to finally
define the KCSAN-instrumented versions.

This also allows for the compiler to complain if an architecture
accidentally defines both the normal and __ prefixed variant.

asm-generic: introduce io_stop_wc() and add implementation for ARM64

For memory accesses with write-combining attributes (e.g. those returned
by ioremap_wc()), the CPU may wait for prior accesses to be merged with
subsequent ones. But in some situation, such wait is bad for the
performance.

We introduce io_stop_wc() to prevent the merging of write-combining
memory accesses before this macro with those after it.

We add implementation for ARM64 using DGH instruction and provide NOP
implementation for other architectures.

compiler.h: fix barrier_data() on clang

Commit 815f0ddb346c ("include/linux/compiler*.h: make compiler-*.h
mutually exclusive") neglected to copy barrier_data() from
compiler-gcc.h into compiler-clang.h.

The definition in compiler-gcc.h was really to work around clang's more
aggressive optimization, so this broke barrier_data() on clang, and
consequently memzero_explicit() as well.

For example, this results in at least the memzero_explicit() call in
lib/crypto/sha256.c:sha256_transform() being optimized away by clang.

Fix this by moving the definition of barrier_data() into compiler.h.

Also move the gcc/clang definition of barrier() into compiler.h,
__memory_barrier() is icc-specific (and barrier() is already defined
using it in compiler-intel.h) and doesn't belong in compiler.h.

libnvdimm/nvdimm/flush: Allow architecture to override the flush barrier

Architectures like ppc64 provide persistent memory specific barriers
that will ensure that all stores for which the modifications are
written to persistent storage by preceding dcbfps and dcbstps
instructions have updated persistent storage before any data
access or data transfer caused by subsequent instructions is initiated.
This is in addition to the ordering done by wmb()

wmb to ensure all previous writes are architecturally visible for

locking/spinlock, arch: Update and fix spin_unlock_wait() implementations

This patch updates/fixes all spin_unlock_wait() implementations.

The update is in semantics; where it previously was only a control
dependency, we now upgrade to a full load-acquire to match the
store-release from the spin_unlock() we waited on. This ensures that
when spin_unlock_wait() returns, we're guaranteed to observe the full
critical section we waited on.

This fixes a number of spin_unlock_wait() users that (not
unreasonably) rely on this.

I also fixed a number of ticket lock versions to only wait on the
current lock holder, instead of for a full unlock, as this is
sufficient.

Furthermore; again for ticket locks; I added an smp_rmb() in between
the initial ticket load and the spin loop testing the current value
because I could not convince myself the address dependency is
sufficient, esp. if the loads are of different sizes.

I'm more than happy to remove this smp_rmb() again if people are
certain the address dependency does indeed work as expected.

Note: PPC32 will be fixed independently

asm-generic: implement virt_xxx memory barriers

Guests running within virtual machines might be affected by SMP effects even if
the guest itself is compiled without SMP support. This is an artifact of
interfacing with an SMP host while running an UP kernel. Using mandatory
barriers for this use-case would be possible but is often suboptimal.

In particular, virtio uses a bunch of confusing ifdefs to work around
this, while xen just uses the mandatory barriers.

To better handle this case, low-level virt_mb() etc macros are made available.
These are implemented trivially using the low-level __smp_xxx macros,
the purpose of these wrappers is to annotate those specific cases.

These have the same effect as smp_mb() etc when SMP is enabled, but generate
identical code for SMP and non-SMP systems. For example, virtual machine guests
should use virt_mb() rather than smp_mb() when synchronizing against a
(possibly SMP) host.

asm-generic: add __smp_xxx wrappers

On !SMP, most architectures define their
barriers as compiler barriers.
On SMP, most need an actual barrier.

Make it possible to remove the code duplication for
!SMP by defining low-level __smp_xxx barriers
which do not depend on the value of SMP, then
use them from asm-generic conditionally.

Besides reducing code duplication, these low level APIs will also be
useful for virtualization, where a barrier is sometimes needed even if
!SMP since we might be talking to another kernel on the same SMP system.

Both virtio and Xen drivers will benefit.

The smp_xxx variants should use __smp_XXX ones or barrier() depending on
SMP, identically for all architectures.

We keep ifndef guards around them for now - once/if all
architectures are converted to use the generic
code, we'll be able to remove these.

locking/arch: Rename set_mb() to smp_store_mb()

Since set_mb() is really about an smp_mb() -- not a IO/DMA barrier
like mb() rename it to match the recent smp_load_acquire() and
smp_store_release().

locking/arch: Add WRITE_ONCE() to set_mb()

Since we assume set_mb() to result in a single store followed by a

arch: Add lightweight memory barriers dma_rmb() and dma_wmb()

There are a number of situations where the mandatory barriers rmb() and
wmb() are used to order memory/memory operations in the device drivers
and those barriers are much heavier than they actually need to be. For
example in the case of PowerPC wmb() calls the heavy-weight sync
instruction when for coherent memory operations all that is really needed
is an lsync or eieio instruction.

This commit adds a coherent only version of the mandatory memory barriers
rmb() and wmb(). In most cases this should result in the barrier being the
same as the SMP barriers for the SMP case, however in some cases we use a
barrier that is somewhere in between rmb() and smp_rmb(). For example on
ARM the rmb barriers break down as follows:

Barrier Call Explanation
--------- -------- ----------------------------------
rmb() dsb() Data synchronization barrier - system
dma_rmb() dmb(osh) data memory barrier - outer sharable
smp_rmb() dmb(ish) data memory barrier - inner sharable

These new barriers are not as safe as the standard rmb() and wmb().
Specifically they do not guarantee ordering between coherent and incoherent
memories. The primary use case for these would be to enforce ordering of
reads and writes when accessing coherent memory that is shared between the
CPU and a device.

It may also be noted that there is no dma_mb(). Most architectures don't
provide a good mechanism for performing a coherent only full barrier without
resorting to the same mechanism used in mb(). As such there isn't much to
be gained in trying to define such a function.

arch: Prepare for smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic()

Since the smp_mb__{before,after}*() ops are fundamentally dependent on
how an arch can implement atomics it doesn't make sense to have 3
variants of them. They must all be the same.

Furthermore, the 3 variants suggest they're only valid for those 3
atomic ops, while we have many more where they could be applied.

So move away from
smp_mb__{before,after}_{atomic,clear}_{dec,inc,bit}() and reduce the
interface to just the two: smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic().

This patch prepares the way by introducing default implementations in
asm-generic/barrier.h that default to a full barrier and providing
__deprecated inlines for the previous 6 barriers if they're not
provided by the arch.

This should allow for a mostly painless transition (lots of deprecated
warns in the interim).

# 47933ad4 06-Nov-2013 Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

arch: Introduce smp_load_acquire(), smp_store_release()

A number of situations currently require the heavyweight smp_mb(),
even though there is no need to order prior stores against later
loads. Many architectures have much cheaper ways to handle these
situations, but the Linux kernel currently has no portable way
to make use of them.

This commit therefore supplies smp_load_acquire() and
smp_store_release() to remedy this situation. The new
smp_load_acquire() primitive orders the specified load against
any subsequent reads or writes, while the new smp_store_release()
primitive orders the specifed store against any prior reads or
writes. These primitives allow array-based circular FIFOs to be
implemented without an smp_mb(), and also allow a theoretical
hole in rcu_assign_pointer() to be closed at no additional
expense on most architectures.

In addition, the RCU experience transitioning from explicit
smp_read_barrier_depends() and smp_wmb() to rcu_dereference()
and rcu_assign_pointer(), respectively resulted in substantial
improvements in readability. It therefore seems likely that
replacing other explicit barriers with smp_load_acquire() and
smp_store_release() will provide similar benefits. It appears
that roughly half of the explicit barriers in core kernel code
might be so replaced.

arch: Clean up asm/barrier.h implementations using asm-generic/barrier.h

We're going to be adding a few new barrier primitives, and in order to
avoid endless duplication make more agressive use of
asm-generic/barrier.h.

Change the asm-generic/barrier.h such that it allows partial barrier
definitions and fills out the rest with defaults.

There are a few architectures (m32r, m68k) that could probably
do away with their barrier.h file entirely but are kept for now due to
their unconventional nop() implementation.
