2018-11-22locking/lockdep: Fix debug_locks off performance problemWaiman Long
[ 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().

2018-08-28locking/lockdep: Do not record IRQ state within lockdep codeSteven Rostedt (VMware)
[ Upstream commit fcc784be837714a9173b372ff9fb9b514590dad9 ] 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.

[ Upstream commit 7fb4a2cea6b18dab56d609530d077f168169ed6b ] Boqun reported that hlock->references can overflow. Add a debug test for that to generate a clear error when this happens. Without this, lockdep is likely to report a mysterious failure on unlock.

2014-02-09lockdep: Change mark_held_locks() to check hlock->check instead of ↵Oleg Nesterov
lockdep_no_validate The __lockdep_no_validate check in mark_held_locks() adds the subtle and (afaics) unnecessary difference between no-validate and check==0. And this looks even more inconsistent because __lock_acquire() skips mark_irqflags()->mark_lock() if !check. Change mark_held_locks() to check hlock->check instead.

2014-02-09lockdep: Don't create the wrong dependency on hlock->check == 0Oleg Nesterov
Test-case: DEFINE_MUTEX(m1); DEFINE_MUTEX(m2); DEFINE_MUTEX(mx); void lockdep_should_complain(void) { lockdep_set_novalidate_class(&mx); // m1 -> mx -> m2 mutex_lock(&m1); mutex_lock(&mx); mutex_lock(&m2); mutex_unlock(&m2); mutex_unlock(&mx); mutex_unlock(&m1); // m2 -> m1 ; should trigger the warning mutex_lock(&m2); mutex_lock(&m1); mutex_unlock(&m1); mutex_unlock(&m2); } this doesn't trigger any warning, lockdep can't detect the trivial deadlock. This is because lock(&mx) correctly avoids m1 -> mx dependency, it skips validate_chain() due to mx->check == 0. But lock(&m2) wrongly adds mx -> m2 and thus m1 -> m2 is not created. rcu_lock_acquire()->lock_acquire(check => 0) is fine due to read == 2, so currently only __lockdep_no_validate__ can trigger this problem.

2014-02-09lockdep: Make held_lock->check and "int check" argument boolOleg Nesterov
The "int check" argument of lock_acquire() and held_lock->check are misleading. This is actually a boolean: 2 means "true", everything else is "false". And there is no need to pass 1 or 0 to lock_acquire() depending on CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING, __lock_acquire() checks prove_locking at the start and clears "check" if !CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING. Note: probably we can simply kill this member/arg. The only explicit user of check => 0 is rcu_lock_acquire(), perhaps we can change it to use lock_acquire(trylock =>, read => 2). __lockdep_no_validate means check => 0 implicitly, but we can change validate_chain() to check hlock->instance->key instead. Not to mention it would be nice to get rid of lockdep_set_novalidate_class().

2013-11-27lockdep: Be nice about building from userspaceSasha Levin
Lockdep is an awesome piece of code which detects locking issues which are relevant both to userspace and kernelspace. We can easily make lockdep work in userspace since there is really no kernel spacific magic going on in the code. All we need is to wrap two functions which are used by lockdep and are very kernel specific. Doing that will allow tools located in tools/ to easily utilize lockdep's code for their own use.
