locking/lockdep: Fix string sizing bug that triggers a format-truncation compiler-warning

On an allyesconfig, with "treat warnings as errors" unset, GCC emits
these warnings:

kernel/locking/lockdep_proc.c:438:32: Warning: Format specifier '%lld' may
be truncated when writing 1 to 17 bytes into a region
of size 15 [-Wformat-truncation=]

kernel/locking/lockdep_proc.c:438:31: Note: Format directive argument is
in the range [-9223372036854775, 9223372036854775]

kernel/locking/lockdep_proc.c:438:9: Note: 'snprintf' has output
between 5 and 22 bytes into a target of size 15

In seq_time(), the longest s64 is "-9223372036854775808"-ish, which
converted to the fixed-point float format is "-9223372036854775.80": 21 bytes,
plus termination is another byte: 22. Therefore, a larger buffer size
of 22 is needed here - not 15. The code was safe due to the snprintf().

Fix it.

locking/lockdep: Iterate lock_classes directly when reading lockdep files

When dumping lock_classes information via /proc/lockdep, we can't take
the lockdep lock as the lock hold time is indeterminate. Iterating
over all_lock_classes without holding lock can be dangerous as there
is a slight chance that it may branch off to other lists leading to
infinite loop or even access invalid memory if changes are made to
all_lock_classes list in parallel.

To avoid this problem, iteration of lock classes is now done directly
on the lock_classes array itself. The lock_classes_in_use bitmap is
checked to see if the lock class is being used. To avoid iterating
the full array all the times, a new max_lock_class_idx value is added
to track the maximum lock_class index that is currently being used.

We can theoretically take the lockdep lock for iterating all_lock_classes
when other lockdep files (lockdep_stats and lock_stat) are accessed as
the lock hold time will be shorter for them. For consistency, they are
also modified to iterate the lock_classes array directly.

locking/lockdep: Fix meaningless /proc/lockdep output of lock classes on !CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING

When enabling CONFIG_LOCK_STAT=y, then CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y is forcedly enabled,
but CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is disabled.

We can get output from /proc/lockdep, which currently includes usages of
lock classes. But the usages are meaningless, see the output below:

/ # cat /proc/lockdep
all lock classes:
ffffffff9af63350 ....: cgroup_mutex

ffffffff9af54eb8 ....: (console_sem).lock

ffffffff9af54e60 ....: console_lock

ffffffff9ae74c38 ....: console_owner_lock

ffffffff9ae74c80 ....: console_owner

ffffffff9ae66e60 ....: cpu_hotplug_lock

Only one usage context for each lock, this is because each usage is only
changed in mark_lock() that is in the CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y section,
however in the test situation, it's not.

The fix is to move the usages reading and seq_print from the
!CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING section to its defined section.

Also, locks_after list of lock_class is empty when !CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING,
so do the same thing as what have done for usages of lock classes.

With this patch with !CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING we can get the results below:

/ # cat /proc/lockdep
all lock classes:
ffffffff85163290: cgroup_mutex
ffffffff85154dd8: (console_sem).lock
ffffffff85154d80: console_lock
ffffffff85074b58: console_owner_lock
ffffffff85074ba0: console_owner
ffffffff85066d60: cpu_hotplug_lock

... a class key and the relevant class name each line.

# 810507fe 06-Feb-2020 Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com>

locking/lockdep: Reuse freed chain_hlocks entries

Once a lock class is zapped, all the lock chains that include the zapped
class are essentially useless. The lock_chain structure itself can be
reused, but not the corresponding chain_hlocks[] entries. Over time,
we will run out of chain_hlocks entries while there are still plenty
of other lockdep array entries available.

To fix this imbalance, we have to make chain_hlocks entries reusable
just like the others. As the freed chain_hlocks entries are in blocks of
various lengths. A simple bitmap like the one used in the other reusable
lockdep arrays isn't applicable. Instead the chain_hlocks entries are
put into bucketed lists (MAX_CHAIN_BUCKETS) of chain blocks. Bucket 0
is the variable size bucket which houses chain blocks of size larger than
MAX_CHAIN_BUCKETS sorted in decreasing size order. Initially, the whole
array is in one chain block (the primordial chain block) in bucket 0.

The minimum size of a chain block is 2 chain_hlocks entries. That will
be the minimum allocation size. In other word, allocation requests
for one chain_hlocks entry will cause 2-entry block to be returned and
hence 1 entry will be wasted.

Allocation requests for the chain_hlocks are fulfilled first by looking
for chain block of matching size. If not found, the first chain block
from bucket[0] (the largest one) is split. That can cause hlock entries
fragmentation and reduce allocation efficiency if a chain block of size >
MAX_CHAIN_BUCKETS is ever zapped and put back to after the primordial
chain block. So the MAX_CHAIN_BUCKETS must be large enough that this
should seldom happen.

By reusing the chain_hlocks entries, we are able to handle workloads
that add and zap a lot of lock classes without the risk of running out
of chain_hlocks entries as long as the total number of outstanding lock
classes at any time remain within a reasonable limit.

Two new tracking counters, nr_free_chain_hlocks & nr_large_chain_blocks,
are added to track the total number of chain_hlocks entries in the
free bucketed lists and the number of large chain blocks in buckets[0]
respectively. The nr_free_chain_hlocks replaces nr_chain_hlocks.

The nr_large_chain_blocks counter enables to see if we should increase
the number of buckets (MAX_CHAIN_BUCKETS) available so as to avoid to
avoid the fragmentation problem in bucket[0].

An internal nfsd test that ran for more than an hour and kept on
loading and unloading kernel modules could cause the following message
to be displayed.

[ 4318.443670] BUG: MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_HLOCKS too low!

The patched kernel was able to complete the test with a lot of free
chain_hlocks entries to spare:

# cat /proc/lockdep_stats
:
dependency chains: 18867 [max: 65536]
dependency chain hlocks: 74926 [max: 327680]
dependency chain hlocks lost: 0
:
zapped classes: 1541
zapped lock chains: 56765
large chain blocks: 1

By changing MAX_CHAIN_BUCKETS to 3 and add a counter for the size of the
largest chain block. The system still worked and We got the following
lockdep_stats data:

dependency chains: 18601 [max: 65536]
dependency chain hlocks used: 73133 [max: 327680]
dependency chain hlocks lost: 0
:
zapped classes: 1541
zapped lock chains: 56702
large chain blocks: 45165
large chain block size: 20165

By running the test again, I was indeed able to cause chain_hlocks
entries to get lost:

dependency chain hlocks used: 74806 [max: 327680]
dependency chain hlocks lost: 575
:
large chain blocks: 48737
large chain block size: 7

Due to the fragmentation, it is possible that the
"MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_HLOCKS too low!" error can happen even if a lot of
of chain_hlocks entries appear to be free.

Fortunately, a MAX_CHAIN_BUCKETS value of 16 should be big enough that
few variable sized chain blocks, other than the initial one, should
ever be present in bucket 0.

locking/lockdep: Throw away all lock chains with zapped class

If a lock chain contains a class that is zapped, the whole lock chain is
likely to be invalid. If the zapped class is at the end of the chain,
the partial chain without the zapped class should have been stored
already as the current code will store all its predecessor chains. If
the zapped class is somewhere in the middle, there is no guarantee that
the partial chain will actually happen. It may just clutter up the hash
and make searching slower. I would rather prefer storing the chain only
when it actually happens.

So just dump the corresponding chain_hlocks entries for now. A latter
patch will try to reuse the freed chain_hlocks entries.

This patch also changes the type of nr_chain_hlocks to unsigned integer
to be consistent with the other counters.

locking/lockdep: Track number of zapped classes

The whole point of the lockdep dynamic key patch is to allow unused
locks to be removed from the lockdep data buffers so that existing
buffer space can be reused. However, there is no way to find out how
many unused locks are zapped and so we don't know if the zapping process
is working properly.

Add a new nr_zapped_classes counter to track that and show it in
/proc/lockdep_stats.

locking/lockdep: Fix lock used or unused stats error

The stats variable nr_unused_locks is incremented every time a new lock
class is register and decremented when the lock is first used in
__lock_acquire(). And after all, it is shown and checked in lockdep_stats.

However, under configurations that either CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS or
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is not defined:

The commit:

091806515124b20 ("locking/lockdep: Consolidate lock usage bit initialization")

missed marking the LOCK_USED flag at IRQ usage initialization because
as mark_usage() is not called. And the commit:

886532aee3cd42d ("locking/lockdep: Move mark_lock() inside CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS && CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING")

further made mark_lock() not defined such that the LOCK_USED cannot be
marked at all when the lock is first acquired.

As a result, we fix this by not showing and checking the stats under such
configurations for lockdep_stats.

locking/lockdep: Make class->ops a percpu counter and move it under CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP=y

A sizable portion of the CPU cycles spent on the __lock_acquire() is used
up by the atomic increment of the class->ops stat counter. By taking it out
from the lock_class structure and changing it to a per-cpu per-lock-class
counter, we can reduce the amount of cacheline contention on the class
structure when multiple CPUs are trying to acquire locks of the same
class simultaneously.

To limit the increase in memory consumption because of the percpu nature
of that counter, it is now put back under the CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP
config option. So the memory consumption increase will only occur if
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP is defined. The lock_class structure, however,
is reduced in size by 16 bytes on 64-bit archs after ops removal and
a minor restructuring of the fields.

This patch also fixes a bug in the increment code as the counter is of
the 'unsigned long' type, but atomic_inc() was used to increment it.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

locking/lockdep: Avoid creating redundant links

Two boots + a make defconfig, the first didn't have the redundant bit
in, the second did:

lock-classes: 1168 1169 [max: 8191]
direct dependencies: 7688 5812 [max: 32768]
indirect dependencies: 25492 25937
all direct dependencies: 220113 217512
dependency chains: 9005 9008 [max: 65536]
dependency chain hlocks: 34450 34366 [max: 327680]
in-hardirq chains: 55 51
in-softirq chains: 371 378
in-process chains: 8579 8579
stack-trace entries: 108073 88474 [max: 524288]
combined max dependencies: 178738560 169094640

max locking depth: 15 15
max bfs queue depth: 320 329

cyclic checks: 9123 9190

redundant checks: 5046
redundant links: 1828

find-mask forwards checks: 2564 2599
find-mask backwards checks: 39521 39789

So it saves nearly 2k links and a fair chunk of stack-trace entries, but
as expected, makes no real difference on the indirect dependencies.

At the same time, you see the max BFS depth increase, which is also
expected, although it could easily be boot variance -- these numbers are
not entirely stable between boots.

The down side is that the cycles in the graph become larger and thus
the reports harder to read.

XXX: do we want this as a CONFIG variable, implied by LOCKDEP_SMALL?

lockdep: Fix lock_chain::base size

lock_chain::base is used to store an index into the chain_hlocks[]
array, however that array contains more elements than can be indexed
using the u16.

Change the lock_chain structure to use a bitfield to encode the data
it needs and add BUILD_BUG_ON() assertions to check the fields are
wide enough.

Also, for DEBUG_LOCKDEP, assert that we don't run out of elements of
that array; as that would wreck the collision detectoring.

lockdep: Fix a race between /proc/lock_stat and module unload

The lock_class iteration of /proc/lock_stat is not serialized against
the lockdep_free_key_range() call from module unload.

Therefore it can happen that we find a class of which ->name/->key are
no longer valid.

There is a further bug in zap_class() that left ->name dangling. Cure
this. Use RCU_INIT_POINTER() because NULL.

Since lockdep_free_key_range() is rcu_sched serialized, we can read
both ->name and ->key under rcu_read_lock_sched() (preempt-disable)
and be assured that if we observe a !NULL value it stays safe to use
for as long as we hold that lock.

If we observe both NULL, skip the entry.

My compiler refuses to actually say that; but it looks wrong in that
do_div() returns the remainder, not the divisor.
