Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar: "The main changes in the locking subsystem in this cycle were: - Add the Linux Kernel Memory Consistency Model (LKMM) subsystem, which is an an array of tools in tools/memory-model/ that formally describe the Linux memory coherency model (a.k.a. Documentation/memory-barriers.txt), and also produce 'litmus tests' in form of kernel code which can be directly executed and tested. Here's a high level background article about an earlier version of this work on LWN.net: https://lwn.net/Articles/718628/ The design principles: "There is reason to believe that Documentation/memory-barriers.txt could use some help, and a major purpose of this patch is to provide that help in the form of a design-time tool that can produce all valid executions of a small fragment of concurrent Linux-kernel code, which is called a "litmus test". This tool's functionality is roughly similar to a full state-space search. Please note that this is a design-time tool, not useful for regression testing. However, we hope that the underlying Linux-kernel memory model will be incorporated into other tools capable of analyzing large bodies of code for regression-testing purposes." [...] "A second tool is klitmus7, which converts litmus tests to loadable kernel modules for direct testing. As with herd7, the klitmus7 code is freely available from http://diy.inria.fr/sources/index.html (and via "git" at https://github.com/herd/herdtools7)" [...] Credits go to: "This patch was the result of a most excellent collaboration founded by Jade Alglave and also including Alan Stern, Andrea Parri, and Luc Maranget." ... and to the gents listed in the MAINTAINERS entry: LINUX KERNEL MEMORY CONSISTENCY MODEL (LKMM) M: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> M: Andrea Parri <parri.andrea@gmail.com> M: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> M: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> M: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com> M: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> M: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> M: Jade Alglave <j.alglave@ucl.ac.uk> M: Luc Maranget <luc.maranget@inria.fr> M: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> The LKMM project already found several bugs in Linux locking primitives and improved the understanding and the documentation of the Linux memory model all around. - Add KASAN instrumentation to atomic APIs (Dmitry Vyukov) - Add RWSEM API debugging and reorganize the lock debugging Kconfig (Waiman Long) - ... misc cleanups and other smaller changes" * 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (31 commits) locking/Kconfig: Restructure the lock debugging menu locking/Kconfig: Add LOCK_DEBUGGING_SUPPORT to make it more readable locking/rwsem: Add DEBUG_RWSEMS to look for lock/unlock mismatches lockdep: Make the lock debug output more useful locking/rtmutex: Handle non enqueued waiters gracefully in remove_waiter() locking/atomic, asm-generic, x86: Add comments for atomic instrumentation locking/atomic, asm-generic: Add KASAN instrumentation to atomic operations locking/atomic/x86: Switch atomic.h to use atomic-instrumented.h locking/atomic, asm-generic: Add asm-generic/atomic-instrumented.h locking/xchg/alpha: Remove superfluous memory barriers from the _local() variants tools/memory-model: Finish the removal of rb-dep, smp_read_barrier_depends(), and lockless_dereference() tools/memory-model: Add documentation of new litmus test tools/memory-model: Remove mention of docker/gentoo image locking/memory-barriers: De-emphasize smp_read_barrier_depends() some more locking/lockdep: Show unadorned pointers mutex: Drop linkage.h from mutex.h tools/memory-model: Remove rb-dep, smp_read_barrier_depends, and lockless_dereference tools/memory-model: Convert underscores to hyphens tools/memory-model: Add a S lock-based external-view litmus test tools/memory-model: Add required herd7 version to README file ...
