locking/lockdep: Fix debug_locks off performance problem

2018-11-13T19:12:19Z

[ Upstream commit 9506a7425b094d2f1d9c877ed5a78f416669269b ] It was found that when debug_locks was turned off because of a problem found by the lockdep code, the system performance could drop quite significantly when the lock_stat code was also configured into the kernel. For instance, parallel kernel build time on a 4-socket x86-64 server nearly doubled. Further analysis into the cause of the slowdown traced back to the frequent call to debug_locks_off() from the __lock_acquired() function probably due to some inconsistent lockdep states with debug_locks off. The debug_locks_off() function did an unconditional atomic xchg to write a 0 value into debug_locks which had already been set to 0. This led to severe cacheline contention in the cacheline that held debug_locks. As debug_locks is being referenced in quite a few different places in the kernel, this greatly slow down the system performance. To prevent that trashing of debug_locks cacheline, lock_acquired() and lock_contended() now checks the state of debug_locks before proceeding. The debug_locks_off() function is also modified to check debug_locks before calling __debug_locks_off(). Signed-off-by: Waiman Long Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Paul E.

locking/lockdep: Do not record IRQ state within lockdep code

2018-06-21T16:19:01Z

While debugging where things were going wrong with mapping enabling/disabling interrupts with the lockdep state and actual real enabling and disabling interrupts, I had to silent the IRQ disabling/enabling in debug_check_no_locks_freed() because it was always showing up as it was called before the splat was. Use raw_local_irq_save/restore() for not only debug_check_no_locks_freed() but for all internal lockdep functions, as they hide useful information about where interrupts were used incorrectly last.

locking/lockdep: Move sanity check to inside lockdep_print_held_locks()

2018-05-14T07:15:02Z

Calling lockdep_print_held_locks() on a running thread is considered unsafe. Since all callers should follow that rule and the sanity check is not heavy, this patch moves the sanity check to inside lockdep_print_held_locks(). As a side effect of this patch, the number of locks held by running threads will be printed as well. This change will be preferable when we want to know which threads might be relevant to a problem but are unable to print any clues because that thread is running.

locking/lockdep: Use for_each_process_thread() for debug_show_all_locks()

2018-05-14T07:15:02Z

debug_show_all_locks() tries to grab the tasklist_lock for two seconds, but calling while_each_thread() without tasklist_lock held is not safe. See the following commit for more information: 4449a51a7c281602 ("vm_is_stack: use for_each_thread() rather then buggy while_each_thread()") Change debug_show_all_locks() from "do_each_thread()/while_each_thread() with possibility of missing tasklist_lock" to "for_each_process_thread() with RCU", and add a call to touch_all_softlockup_watchdogs() like show_state_filter() does.

lockdep: Make the lock debug output more useful

2018-03-29T12:41:40Z

The lock debug output in print_lock() has a few shortcomings: - It prints the hlock->acquire_ip field in %px and %pS format. That's redundant information. - It lacks information about the lock object itself. The lock class is not helpful to identify a particular instance of a lock. Change the output so it prints: - hlock->instance to allow identification of a particular lock instance. - only the %pS format of hlock->ip_acquire which is sufficient to decode the actual code line with faddr2line. The resulting output is: 3 locks held by a.out/31106: #0: 00000000b0f753ba (&mm->mmap_sem){++++}, at: copy_process.part.41+0x10d5/0x1fe0 #1: 00000000ef64d539 (&mm->mmap_sem/1){+.+.}, at: copy_process.part.41+0x10fe/0x1fe0 #2: 00000000b41a282e (&mapping->i_mmap_rwsem){++++}, at: copy_process.part.41+0x12f2/0x1fe0 [ tglx: Massaged changelog ] Signed-off-by: Tetsuo Handa Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Acked-by: Michal Hocko Acked-by: David Rientjes Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org Cc: Borislav Petkov Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/201803271941.GBE57310.tVSOJLQOFFOHFM@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp

locking/lockdep: Avoid triggering hardlockup from debug_show_all_locks()

2018-01-24T09:00:09Z

debug_show_all_locks() iterates all tasks and print held locks whole holding tasklist_lock. This can take a while on a slow console device and may end up triggering NMI hardlockup detector if someone else ends up waiting for tasklist_lock. Touch the NMI watchdog while printing the held locks to avoid spuriously triggering the hardlockup detector.

lockdep: Make lockdep checking constant

2018-01-18T10:56:48Z

There are several places in the kernel which would like to pass a const pointer to lockdep_is_held(). Constify the entire path so nobody has to trick the compiler.

lockdep: Assign lock keys on registration

2018-01-18T10:56:48Z

Lockdep is assigning lock keys when a lock was looked up. This is unnecessary; if the lock has never been registered then it is known that it is not locked. It also complicates the calling convention. Switch to assigning the lock key in register_lock_class().
