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

2016-06-14T09:55:15Z

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 Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Paul E.

Not strictly necessary for -rt as -rt does not have non sleeping rwlocks, but it's odd to not have a consistent naming convention. No functional change. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra Acked-by: David S. Miller Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Cc: linux-arch@vger.kernel.org

locking: Convert raw_spinlock to arch_spinlock

2009-12-14T22:55:32Z

The raw_spin* namespace was taken by lockdep for the architecture specific implementations. raw_spin_* would be the ideal name space for the spinlocks which are not converted to sleeping locks in preempt-rt. Linus suggested to convert the raw_ to arch_ locks and cleanup the name space instead of using an artifical name like core_spin, atomic_spin or whatever No functional change.

[IA64] Squeeze ticket locks back into 4 bytes.

2009-10-07T17:54:19Z

Linus pointed out that other people have spent large amounts of time and effort to optimize the layout of frequently used structures. Often these have embedded locks, and the assumption is that a lock takes 4 bytes. Linus also pointed out how to work with the limited options for atomic instructions on Itanium.
