2019-11-29locking/spinlock/debug: Fix various data racesMarco Elver
This fixes various data races in spinlock_debug. By testing with KCSAN, it is observable that the console gets spammed with data races reports, suggesting these are extremely frequent. Example data race report: read to 0xffff8ab24f403c48 of 4 bytes by task 221 on cpu 2: debug_spin_lock_before kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:85 [inline] do_raw_spin_lock+0x9b/0x210 kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:112 __raw_spin_lock include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:143 [inline] _raw_spin_lock+0x39/0x40 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:151 spin_lock include/linux/spinlock.h:338 [inline] get_partial_node.isra.0.part.0+0x32/0x2f0 mm/slub.c:1873 get_partial_node mm/slub.c:1870 [inline] <snip> write to 0xffff8ab24f403c48 of 4 bytes by task 167 on cpu 3: debug_spin_unlock kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:103 [inline] do_raw_spin_unlock+0xc9/0x1a0 kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:138 __raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:159 [inline] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x2d/0x50 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:191 spin_unlock_irqrestore include/linux/spinlock.h:393 [inline] free_debug_processing+0x1b3/0x210 mm/slub.c:1214 __slab_free+0x292/0x400 mm/slub.c:2864 <snip> As a side-effect, with KCSAN, this eventually locks up the console, most likely due to deadlock, e.g. .. -> printk lock -> spinlock_debug -> KCSAN detects data race -> kcsan_print_report() -> printk lock -> deadlock. This fix will 1) avoid the data races, and 2) allow using lock debugging together with KCSAN.

2019-04-08mmiowb: Hook up mmiowb helpers to spinlocks and generic I/O accessorsWill Deacon
Removing explicit calls to mmiowb() from driver code means that we must now call into the generic mmiowb_spin_{lock,unlock}() functions from the core spinlock code. In order to elide barriers following critical sections without any I/O writes, we also hook into the asm-generic I/O routines.

2017-02-10locking/spinlock/debug: Remove spinlock lockup detection codeWaiman Long
The current spinlock lockup detection code can sometimes produce false positives because of the unfairness of the locking algorithm itself. So the lockup detection code is now removed. Instead, we are relying on the NMI watchdog to detect potential lockup. We won't have lockup detection if the watchdog isn't running. The commented-out read-write lock lockup detection code are also removed.
