include/linux/rbtree.h: replace kernel.h with the necessary inclusions

When kernel.h is used in the headers it adds a lot into dependency hell,
especially when there are circular dependencies are involved.

Replace kernel.h inclusion with the list of what is really being used.

rbtree: Split out the rbtree type definitions into <linux/rbtree_types.h>

So we have this header dependency problem on RT:

- <linux/rtmutex.h> needs the definition of 'struct rb_root_cached'.
- <linux/rbtree.h> includes <linux/kernel.h>, which includes <linux/spinlock.h>.

That works nicely for non-RT enabled kernels, but on RT enabled kernels
spinlocks are based on rtmutexes, which creates another circular header
dependency, as <linux/spinlocks.h> will require <linux/rtmutex.h>.

Split out the type definitions and move them into their own header file so
the rtmutex header can include just those.

rbtree: Add generic add and find helpers

I've always been bothered by the endless (fragile) boilerplate for
rbtree, and I recently wrote some rbtree helpers for objtool and
figured I should lift them into the kernel and use them more widely.

Provide:

partial-order; less() based:
- rb_add(): add a new entry to the rbtree
- rb_add_cached(): like rb_add(), but for a rb_root_cached

total-order; cmp() based:
- rb_find(): find an entry in an rbtree
- rb_find_add(): find an entry, and add if not found

- rb_find_first(): find the first (leftmost) matching entry
- rb_next_match(): continue from rb_find_first()
- rb_for_each(): iterate a sub-tree using the previous two

Inlining and constant propagation should see the compiler inline the
whole thing, including the various compare functions.

lib/rbtree: avoid generating code twice for the cached versions

As was already noted in rbtree.h, the logic to cache rb_first (or
rb_last) can easily be implemented externally to the core rbtree api.

Change the implementation to do just that. Previously the update of
rb_leftmost was wired deeper into the implmentation, but there were some
disadvantages to that - mostly, lib/rbtree.c had separate instantiations
for rb_insert_color() vs rb_insert_color_cached(), as well as rb_erase()
vs rb_erase_cached(), which were doing exactly the same thing save for
the rb_leftmost update at the start of either function.

lib/rbtree,drm/mm: add rbtree_replace_node_cached()

Add a variant of rbtree_replace_node() that maintains the leftmost cache
of struct rbtree_root_cached when replacing nodes within the rbtree.

As drm_mm is the only rb_replace_node() being used on an interval tree,
the mistake looks fairly self-contained. Furthermore the only user of
drm_mm_replace_node() is its testsuite...

rbtree: cache leftmost node internally

Patch series "rbtree: Cache leftmost node internally", v4.

A series to extending rbtrees to internally cache the leftmost node such
that we can have fast overlap check optimization for all interval tree
users[1]. The benefits of this series are that:

(i) Unify users that do internal leftmost node caching.
(ii) Optimize all interval tree users.
(iii) Convert at least two new users (epoll and procfs) to the new interface.

This patch (of 16):

Red-black tree semantics imply that nodes with smaller or greater (or
equal for duplicates) keys always be to the left and right,
respectively. For the kernel this is extremely evident when considering
our rb_first() semantics. Enabling lookups for the smallest node in the
tree in O(1) can save a good chunk of cycles in not having to walk down
the tree each time. To this end there are a few core users that
explicitly do this, such as the scheduler and rtmutexes. There is also
the desire for interval trees to have this optimization allowing faster
overlap checking.

This patch introduces a new 'struct rb_root_cached' which is just the
root with a cached pointer to the leftmost node. The reason why the
regular rb_root was not extended instead of adding a new structure was
that this allows the user to have the choice between memory footprint
and actual tree performance. The new wrappers on top of the regular
rb_root calls are:

- rb_first_cached(cached_root) -- which is a fast replacement
for rb_first.

- rb_insert_color_cached(node, cached_root, new)

- rb_erase_cached(node, cached_root)

In addition, augmented cached interfaces are also added for basic
insertion and deletion operations; which becomes important for the
interval tree changes.

With the exception of the inserts, which adds a bool for updating the
new leftmost, the interfaces are kept the same. To this end, porting rb
users to the cached version becomes really trivial, and keeping current
rbtree semantics for users that don't care about the optimization
requires zero overhead.

rbtree: use READ_ONCE in RB_EMPTY_ROOT

With commit d72da4a4d97 ("rbtree: Make lockless searches non-fatal") our
rbtrees provide weak guarantees that allows us to do lockless (and very
speculative) reads of the tree. Such readers cannot see partial stores
on nodes, ie left/right as well as root. As such, similar to the
WRITE_ONCE semantics when doing rotations, use READ_ONCE when checking
the root node in RB_EMPTY_ROOT.

rbtree: clarify documentation of rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe()

I noticed that commit a20135ffbc44 ("writeback: don't drain
bdi_writeback_congested on bdi destruction") added a usage of
rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe() in mm/backing-dev.c which appears
to try to rb_erase() elements from an rbtree while iterating over it using
rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe().

Doing this will cause random nodes to be missed by the iteration because
rb_erase() may rebalance the tree, changing the ordering that we're trying
to iterate over.

The previous documentation for rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe()
wasn't clear that this wasn't allowed, it was taken from the docs for
list_for_each_entry_safe(), where erasing isn't a problem due to
list_del() not reordering.

Explicitly warn developers about this potential pit-fall.

Note that I haven't fixed the actual issue that (it appears) the commit
referenced above introduced (not familiar enough with that code).

In general (and in this case), the patterns to follow are:
- switch to rb_first() + rb_erase(), don't use
rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe().
- keep the postorder iteration and don't rb_erase() at all. Instead
just clear the fields of rb_node & cgwb_congested_tree as required by
other users of those structures.

rbtree: Make lockless searches non-fatal

Change the insert and erase code such that lockless searches are
non-fatal.

In and of itself an rbtree cannot be correctly searched while
in-modification, we can however provide weaker guarantees that will
allow the rbtree to be used in conjunction with other techniques, such
as latches; see 9b0fd802e8c0 ("seqcount: Add raw_write_seqcount_latch()").

For this to work we need the following guarantees from the rbtree
code:

1) a lockless reader must not see partial stores, this would allow it
to observe nodes that are invalid memory.

2) there must not be (temporary) loops in the tree structure in the
modifier's program order, this would cause a lookup which
interrupts the modifier to get stuck indefinitely.

For 1) we must use WRITE_ONCE() for all updates to the tree structure;
in particular this patch only does rb_{left,right} as those are the
only element required for simple searches.

It generates slightly worse code, probably because volatile. But in
pointer chasing heavy code a few instructions more should not matter.

For 2) I have carefully audited the code and drawn every intermediate
link state and not found a loop.

rbtree: fix rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe() iterator

The iterator rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe() relies on pointer
underflow behavior when testing for loop termination. In particular it
expects that

&rb_entry(NULL, type, field)->field

is NULL. But the result of this expression is not defined by a C standard
and some gcc versions (e.g. 4.3.4) assume the above expression can never
be equal to NULL. The net result is an oops because the iteration is not
properly terminated.

Fix the problem by modifying the iterator to avoid pointer underflows.

rbtree: add postorder iteration functions

Postorder iteration yields all of a node's children prior to yielding the
node itself, and this particular implementation also avoids examining the
leaf links in a node after that node has been yielded.

In what I expect will be its most common usage, postorder iteration allows
the deletion of every node in an rbtree without modifying the rbtree nodes
(no _requirement_ that they be nulled) while avoiding referencing child
nodes after they have been "deleted" (most commonly, freed).

I have only updated zswap to use this functionality at this point, but
numerous bits of code (most notably in the filesystem drivers) use a hand
rolled postorder iteration that NULLs child links as it traverses the
tree. Each of those instances could be replaced with this common
implementation.

1 & 2 add rbtree postorder iteration functions.
3 adds testing of the iteration to the rbtree runtime tests
4 allows building the rbtree runtime tests as builtins
5 updates zswap.

This patch:

Add postorder iteration functions for rbtree. These are useful for safely
freeing an entire rbtree without modifying the tree at all.

rbtree: faster augmented rbtree manipulation

Introduce new augmented rbtree APIs that allow minimal recalculation of
augmented node information.

A new callback is added to the rbtree insertion and erase rebalancing
functions, to be called on each tree rotations. Such rotations preserve
the subtree's root augmented value, but require recalculation of the one
child that was previously located at the subtree root.

In the insertion case, the handcoded search phase must be updated to
maintain the augmented information on insertion, and then the rbtree
coloring/rebalancing algorithms keep it up to date.

In the erase case, things are more complicated since it is library
code that manipulates the rbtree in order to remove internal nodes.
This requires a couple additional callbacks to copy a subtree's
augmented value when a new root is stitched in, and to recompute
augmented values down the ancestry path when a node is removed from
the tree.

In order to preserve maximum speed for the non-augmented case,
we provide two versions of each tree manipulation function.
rb_insert_augmented() is the augmented equivalent of rb_insert_color(),
and rb_erase_augmented() is the augmented equivalent of rb_erase().

rbtree: empty nodes have no color

Empty nodes have no color. We can make use of this property to simplify
the code emitted by the RB_EMPTY_NODE and RB_CLEAR_NODE macros. Also,
we can get rid of the rb_init_node function which had been introduced by
commit 88d19cf37952 ("timers: Add rb_init_node() to allow for stack
allocated rb nodes") to avoid some issue with the empty node's color not
being initialized.

I'm not sure what the RB_EMPTY_NODE checks in rb_prev() / rb_next() are
doing there, though. axboe introduced them in commit 10fd48f2376d
("rbtree: fixed reversed RB_EMPTY_NODE and rb_next/prev"). The way I
see it, the 'empty node' abstraction is only used by rbtree users to
flag nodes that they haven't inserted in any rbtree, so asking the
predecessor or successor of such nodes doesn't make any sense.

One final rb_init_node() caller was recently added in sysctl code to
implement faster sysctl name lookups. This code doesn't make use of
RB_EMPTY_NODE at all, and from what I could see it only called
rb_init_node() under the mistaken assumption that such initialization was
required before node insertion.

rbtree: reference Documentation/rbtree.txt for usage instructions

I recently started looking at the rbtree code (with an eye towards
improving the augmented rbtree support, but I haven't gotten there yet).
I noticed a lot of possible speed improvements, which I am now proposing
in this patch set.

Patches 1-4 are preparatory: remove internal functions from rbtree.h so
that users won't be tempted to use them instead of the documented APIs,
clean up some incorrect usages I've noticed (in particular, with the
recently added fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c rbtree usage), reference the
documentation so that people have one less excuse to miss it, etc.

Patch 5 is a small module I wrote to check the rbtree performance. It
creates 100 nodes with random keys and repeatedly inserts and erases them
from an rbtree. Additionally, it has code to check for rbtree invariants
after each insert or erase operation.

Patches 6-12 is where the rbtree optimizations are done, and they touch
only that one file, lib/rbtree.c . I am getting good results out of these
- in my small benchmark doing rbtree insertion (including search) and
erase, I'm seeing a 30% runtime reduction on Sandybridge E5, which is more
than I initially thought would be possible. (the results aren't as
impressive on my two other test hosts though, AMD barcelona and Intel
Westmere, where I am seeing 14% runtime reduction only). The code size -
both source (ommiting comments) and compiled - is also shorter after these
changes. However, I do admit that the updated code is more arduous to
read - one big reason for that is the removal of the tree rotation
helpers, which added some overhead but also made it easier to reason about
things locally. Overall, I believe this is an acceptable compromise,
given that this code doesn't get modified very often, and that I have good
tests for it.

Upon Peter's suggestion, I added comments showing the rtree configuration
before every rotation. I think they help; however it's still best to have
a copy of the cormen/leiserson/rivest book when digging into this code.

This patch: reference Documentation/rbtree.txt for usage instructions

include/linux/rbtree.h included some basic usage instructions, while
Documentation/rbtree.txt had some more complete and easier to follow
instructions. Replacing the former with a reference to the latter.

timers: Add rb_init_node() to allow for stack allocated rb nodes

In cases where a timerqueue_node or some structure that utilizes
a timerqueue_node is allocated on the stack, gcc would give warnings
caused by the timerqueue_init()'s calling RB_CLEAR_NODE, which
self-references the nodes uninitialized data.

The solution is to create an rb_init_node() function that zeros
the rb_node structure out and then calls RB_CLEAR_NODE(), and
then call the new init function from timerqueue_init().

rbtree: Undo augmented trees performance damage and regression

Reimplement augmented RB-trees without sprinkling extra branches
all over the RB-tree code (which lives in the scheduler hot path).

This approach is 'borrowed' from Fabio's BFQ implementation and
relies on traversing the rebalance path after the RB-tree-op to
correct the heap property for insertion/removal and make up for
the damage done by the tree rotations.

For insertion the rebalance path is trivially that from the new
node upwards to the root, for removal it is that from the deepest
node in the path from the to be removed node that will still
be around after the removal.

[ This patch also fixes a video driver regression reported by
Ali Gholami Rudi - the memtype->subtree_max_end was updated
incorrectly. ]

rbtree: add const qualifier to some functions

The 'rb_first()', 'rb_last()', 'rb_next()' and 'rb_prev()' calls
take a pointer to an RB node or RB root. They do not change the
pointed objects, so add a 'const' qualifier in order to make life
of the users of these functions easier.

Indeed, if I have my own constant pointer &const struct my_type *p,
and I call 'rb_next(&p->rb)', I get a GCC warning:

warning: passing argument 1 of ‘rb_next’ discards qualifiers from pointer target type

[RBTREE] Add explicit alignment to sizeof(long) for struct rb_node.

Seems like a strange requirement, but allegedly it was necessary for
struct address_space on CRIS, because it otherwise ended up being only
byte-aligned. It's harmless enough, and easier to just do it than to
prove it isn't necessary... although I really ought to dig out my etrax
board and test it some time.

[RBTREE] Merge colour and parent fields of struct rb_node.

We only used a single bit for colour information, so having a whole

store it in the lowest bit of the 'parent' pointer, since that was
always going to be aligned anyway.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
