Current LKMM documentation assumes that the reader already understands concurrency in the Linux kernel, which won't necessarily always be the case. This commit supplies a simple.txt file that provides a starting point for someone who is new to concurrency in the Linux kernel. That said, this file might also useful as a reminder to experienced developers of simpler approaches to dealing with concurrency.

2020-09-03tools/memory-model: Improve litmus-test documentationPaul E. McKenney
The current LKMM documentation says very little about litmus tests, and worse yet directs people to the herd7 documentation for more information. Now, the herd7 documentation is quite voluminous and educational, but it is intended for people creating and modifying memory models, not those attempting to use them. This commit therefore updates README and creates a litmus-tests.txt file that gives an overview of litmus-test format and describes ways of modeling various special cases, illustrated with numerous examples.

2020-06-29tools/memory-model: Fix "conflict" definitionMarco Elver
The definition of "conflict" should not include the type of access nor whether the accesses are concurrent or not, which this patch addresses. The definition of "data race" remains unchanged. The definition of "conflict" as we know it and is cited by various papers on memory consistency models appeared in [1]: "Two accesses to the same variable conflict if at least one is a write; two operations conflict if they execute conflicting accesses." The LKMM as well as the C11 memory model are adaptations of data-race-free, which are based on the work in [2]. Necessarily, we need both conflicting data operations (plain) and synchronization operations (marked). For example, C11's definition is based on [3], which defines a "data race" as: "Two memory operations conflict if they access the same memory location, and at least one of them is a store, atomic store, or atomic read-modify-write operation. In a sequentially consistent execution, two memory operations from different threads form a type 1 data race if they conflict, at least one of them is a data operation, and they are adjacent in <T (i.e., they may be executed concurrently)."

2019-10-05tools/memory-model: Fix data race detection for unordered store and loadAlan Stern
Currently the Linux Kernel Memory Model gives an incorrect response for the following litmus test: C plain-WWC {} P0(int *x) { WRITE_ONCE(*x, 2); } P1(int *x, int *y) { int r1; int r2; int r3; r1 = READ_ONCE(*x); if (r1 == 2) { smp_rmb(); r2 = *x; } smp_rmb(); r3 = READ_ONCE(*x); WRITE_ONCE(*y, r3 - 1); } P2(int *x, int *y) { int r4; r4 = READ_ONCE(*y); if (r4 > 0) WRITE_ONCE(*x, 1); } exists (x=2 /\ 1:r2=2 /\ 2:r4=1) The memory model says that the plain read of *x in P1 races with the WRITE_ONCE(*x) in P2. The problem is that we have a write W and a read R related by neither fre or rfe, but rather W ->coe W' ->rfe R, where W' is an intermediate write (the WRITE_ONCE() in P0). In this situation there is no particular ordering between W and R, so either a wr-vis link from W to R or an rw-xbstar link from R to W would prove that the accesses aren't concurrent. But the LKMM only looks for a wr-vis link, which is equivalent to assuming that W must execute before R. This is not necessarily true on non-multicopy-atomic systems, as the WWC pattern demonstrates. This patch changes the LKMM to accept either a wr-vis or a reverse rw-xbstar link as a proof of non-concurrency.

2019-06-24tools/memory-model: Improve data-race detectionAlan Stern
Herbert Xu recently reported a problem concerning RCU and compiler barriers. In the course of discussing the problem, he put forth a litmus test which illustrated a serious defect in the Linux Kernel Memory Model's data-race-detection code [1]. The defect was that the LKMM assumed visibility and executes-before ordering of plain accesses had to be mediated by marked accesses. In Herbert's litmus test this wasn't so, and the LKMM claimed the litmus test was allowed and contained a data race although neither is true. In fact, plain accesses can be ordered by fences even in the absence of marked accesses. In most cases this doesn't matter, because most fences only order accesses within a single thread. But the rcu-fence relation is different; it can order (and induce visibility between) accesses in different threads -- events which otherwise might be concurrent. This makes it relevant to data-race detection. This patch makes two changes to the memory model to incorporate the new insight: If a store is separated by a fence from another access, the store is necessarily visible to the other access (as reflected in the ww-vis and wr-vis relations). Similarly, if a load is separated by a fence from another access then the load necessarily executes before the other access (as reflected in the rw-xbstar relation). If a store is separated by a strong fence from a marked access then it is necessarily visible to any access that executes after the marked access (as reflected in the ww-vis and wr-vis relations). With these changes, the LKMM gives the desired result for Herbert's litmus test and other related ones [2].

2019-06-21tools/memory-model: Change definition of rcu-fenceAlan Stern
The rcu-fence relation in the Linux Kernel Memory Model is not well named. It doesn't act like any other fence relation, in that it does not relate events before a fence to events after that fence. All it does is relate certain RCU events to one another (those that are ordered by the RCU Guarantee); this induces an actual strong-fence-like relation linking events preceding the first RCU event to those following the second. This patch renames rcu-fence, now called rcu-order. It adds a new definition of rcu-fence, something which should have been present all along because it is used in the rb relation. And it modifies the fence and strong-fence relations by making them incorporate the new rcu-fence. As a result of this change, there is no longer any need to define full-fence in the section for detecting data races. It can simply be replaced by the updated strong-fence relation. This change should have no effect on the operation of the memory model.

This commit checks that the return value of srcu_read_lock() is passed to the matching srcu_read_unlock(), where "matching" is determined by nesting. This check operates as follows: 1. srcu_read_lock() creates an integer token, which is stored into the generated events. 2. srcu_read_unlock() records its second (token) argument into the generated event. 3. A new herd primitive 'different-values' filters out pairs of events with identical values from the relation passed as its argument. 4. The bell file applies the above primitive to the (srcu) read-side-critical-section relation 'srcu-rscs' and flags non-empty results. BEWARE: Works only with herd version 7.51+6 and onwards.

Herd creates srcu events and linux-kernel.def associates them with three possible annotations (srcu-lock, srcu-unlock, and sync-srcu) corresponding to the API routines srcu_read_lock(), srcu_read_unlock(), and synchronize_srcu(). The linux-kernel.bell file now declares the annotations and determines matching lock/unlock pairs delimiting SRCU read-side critical sections, and it also checks for synchronize_srcu() calls inside an RCU critical section (which would generate a "sleeping in atomic context" error in real kernel code). The linux-kernel.cat file now adds SRCU-induced ordering, analogous to the existing RCU-induced ordering, to the gp and rcu-fence relations. Curiously enough, these small changes to the model's .cat code are all that is needed to describe SRCU. Portions of this patch (linux-kernel.def and the first hunk in linux-kernel.bell) were written by Luc Maranget.

2019-03-18tools/memory-model: Refactor some RCU relationsAlan Stern
In preparation for adding support for SRCU, refactor the definitions of rcu-fence, rcu-rscsi, rcu-link, and rb by moving the po and po? terms from the first two to the second two. An rcu-gp relation is added; it is equivalent to gp with the po and po? terms removed. This is necessary because for SRCU, we will have to use the loc relation to check that the terms at the start and end of each disjunct in the definition of rcu-fence refer to the same srcu_struct location. If these terms are hidden behind po and po?, there's no way to carry out this check. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2019-03-18tools/memory-model: Rename some RCU relationsAlan Stern
In preparation for adding support for SRCU, rename "crit" to "rcu-rscs", rename "rscs" to "rcu-rscsi", and remove the restriction to only the outermost level of nesting. The name change is needed for disambiguating RCU read-side critical sections from SRCU read-side critical sections. Adding the "i" at the end of "rcu-rscsi" emphasizes that the relation is inverted; it links rcu_read_unlock() events to their corresponding preceding rcu_read_lock() events. The restriction to outermost nesting levels was never essential; it was included mostly to show that it could be done. Rather than add equivalent unnecessary code for SRCU lock nesting, it seemed better to remove the existing code. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2019-01-21tools/memory-model: Add scripts to check github litmus testsPaul E. McKenney
The https://github.com/paulmckrcu/litmus repository contains a large number of C-language litmus tests that include "Result:" comments predicting the verification result. This commit adds a number of scripts that run tests on these litmus tests: checkghlitmus.sh: Runs all litmus tests in the https://github.com/paulmckrcu/litmus archive that are C-language and that have "Result:" comment lines documenting expected results, comparing the actual results to those expected. Clones the repository if it has not already been cloned into the "tools/memory-model/litmus" directory. initlitmushist.sh Run all litmus tests having no more than the specified number of processes given a specified timeout, recording the results in .litmus.out files. Clones the repository if it has not already been cloned into the "tools/memory-model/litmus" directory. newlitmushist.sh For all new or updated litmus tests having no more than the specified number of processes given a specified timeout, run and record the results in .litmus.out files. checklitmushist.sh Run all litmus tests having .litmus.out files from previous initlitmushist.sh or newlitmushist.sh runs, comparing the herd output to that of the original runs. The above scripts will run litmus tests concurrently, by default with one job per available CPU. Giving any of these scripts the --help argument will cause them to print usage information. This commit also adds a number of helper scripts that are not intended to be invoked from the command line: cmplitmushist.sh: Compare the output of two different runs of the same litmus test. judgelitmus.sh: Compare the output of a litmus test to its "Result:" comment line. parseargs.sh: Parse command-line arguments. runlitmushist.sh: Run the litmus tests whose pathnames are provided one per line on standard input. While in the area, this commit also makes the existing checklitmus.sh and checkalllitmus.sh scripts use parseargs.sh in order to provide a bit of uniformity. In addition, per-litmus-test status output is directed to stdout, while end-of-test summary information is directed to stderr. Finally, the error flag standardizes on "!!!" to assist those familiar with rcutorture output. The defaults for the parseargs.sh arguments may be overridden by using environment variables: LKMM_DESTDIR for --destdir, LKMM_HERD_OPTIONS for --herdoptions, LKMM_JOBS for --jobs, LKMM_PROCS for --procs, and LKMM_TIMEOUT for --timeout.

2019-01-21tools/memory-model: Model smp_mb__after_unlock_lock()Andrea Parri
The kernel documents smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() the following way: "Place this after a lock-acquisition primitive to guarantee that an UNLOCK+LOCK pair acts as a full barrier. This guarantee applies if the UNLOCK and LOCK are executed by the same CPU or if the UNLOCK and LOCK operate on the same lock variable." Formalize in LKMM the above guarantee by defining (new) mb-links according to the law: ([M] ; po ; [UL] ; (co | po) ; [LKW] ; fencerel(After-unlock-lock) ; [M]) where the component ([UL] ; co ; [LKW]) identifies "UNLOCK+LOCK pairs on the same lock variable" and the component ([UL] ; po ; [LKW]) identifies "UNLOCK+LOCK pairs executed by the same CPU". In particular, the LKMM forbids the following two behaviors (the second litmus test below is based on: Documentation/RCU/Design/Memory-Ordering/Tree-RCU-Memory-Ordering.html c.f., Section "Tree RCU Grace Period Memory Ordering Building Blocks"): C after-unlock-lock-same-cpu (* * Result: Never *) {} P0(spinlock_t *s, spinlock_t *t, int *x, int *y) { int r0; spin_lock(s); WRITE_ONCE(*x, 1); spin_unlock(s); spin_lock(t); smp_mb__after_unlock_lock(); r0 = READ_ONCE(*y); spin_unlock(t); } P1(int *x, int *y) { int r0; WRITE_ONCE(*y, 1); smp_mb(); r0 = READ_ONCE(*x); } exists (0:r0=0 /\ 1:r0=0) C after-unlock-lock-same-lock-variable (* * Result: Never *) {} P0(spinlock_t *s, int *x, int *y) { int r0; spin_lock(s); WRITE_ONCE(*x, 1); r0 = READ_ONCE(*y); spin_unlock(s); } P1(spinlock_t *s, int *y, int *z) { int r0; spin_lock(s); smp_mb__after_unlock_lock(); WRITE_ONCE(*y, 1); r0 = READ_ONCE(*z); spin_unlock(s); } P2(int *z, int *x) { int r0; WRITE_ONCE(*z, 1); smp_mb(); r0 = READ_ONCE(*x); } exists (0:r0=0 /\ 1:r0=0 /\ 2:r0=0) Signed-off-by: Andrea Parri <andrea.parri@amarulasolutions.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2018-10-02tools/memory-model: Add extra ordering for locks and remove it for ordinary ↵Alan Stern
release/acquire More than one kernel developer has expressed the opinion that the LKMM should enforce ordering of writes by locking. In other words, given the following code: WRITE_ONCE(x, 1); spin_unlock(&s): spin_lock(&s); WRITE_ONCE(y, 1); the stores to x and y should be propagated in order to all other CPUs, even though those other CPUs might not access the lock s. In terms of the memory model, this means expanding the cumul-fence relation. Locks should also provide read-read (and read-write) ordering in a similar way. Given: READ_ONCE(x); spin_unlock(&s); spin_lock(&s); READ_ONCE(y); // or WRITE_ONCE(y, 1); the load of x should be executed before the load of (or store to) y. The LKMM already provides this ordering, but it provides it even in the case where the two accesses are separated by a release/acquire pair of fences rather than unlock/lock. This would prevent architectures from using weakly ordered implementations of release and acquire, which seems like an unnecessary restriction. The patch therefore removes the ordering requirement from the LKMM for that case. There are several arguments both for and against this change. Let us refer to these enhanced ordering properties by saying that the LKMM would require locks to be RCtso (a bit of a misnomer, but analogous to RCpc and RCsc) and it would require ordinary acquire/release only to be RCpc. (Note: In the following, the phrase "all supported architectures" is meant not to include RISC-V. Although RISC-V is indeed supported by the kernel, the implementation is still somewhat in a state of flux and therefore statements about it would be premature.) Pros: The kernel already provides RCtso ordering for locks on all supported architectures, even though this is not stated explicitly anywhere. Therefore the LKMM should formalize it. In theory, guaranteeing RCtso ordering would reduce the need for additional barrier-like constructs meant to increase the ordering strength of locks. Will Deacon and Peter Zijlstra are strongly in favor of formalizing the RCtso requirement. Linus Torvalds and Will would like to go even further, requiring locks to have RCsc behavior (ordering preceding writes against later reads), but they recognize that this would incur a noticeable performance degradation on the POWER architecture. Linus also points out that people have made the mistake, in the past, of assuming that locking has stronger ordering properties than is currently guaranteed, and this change would reduce the likelihood of such mistakes. Not requiring ordinary acquire/release to be any stronger than RCpc may prove advantageous for future architectures, allowing them to implement smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release() with more efficient machine instructions than would be possible if the operations had to be RCtso. Will and Linus approve this rationale, hypothetical though it is at the moment (it may end up affecting the RISC-V implementation). The same argument may or may not apply to RMW-acquire/release; see also the second Con entry below. Linus feels that locks should be easy for people to use without worrying about memory consistency issues, since they are so pervasive in the kernel, whereas acquire/release is much more of an "experts only" tool. Requiring locks to be RCtso is a step in this direction. Cons: Andrea Parri and Luc Maranget think that locks should have the same ordering properties as ordinary acquire/release (indeed, Luc points out that the names "acquire" and "release" derive from the usage of locks). Andrea points out that having different ordering properties for different forms of acquires and releases is not only unnecessary, it would also be confusing and unmaintainable. Locks are constructed from lower-level primitives, typically RMW-acquire (for locking) and ordinary release (for unlock). It is illogical to require stronger ordering properties from the high-level operations than from the low-level operations they comprise. Thus, this change would make while (cmpxchg_acquire(&s, 0, 1) != 0) cpu_relax(); an incorrect implementation of spin_lock(&s) as far as the LKMM is concerned. In theory this weakness can be ameliorated by changing the LKMM even further, requiring RMW-acquire/release also to be RCtso (which it already is on all supported architectures). As far as I know, nobody has singled out any examples of code in the kernel that actually relies on locks being RCtso. (People mumble about RCU and the scheduler, but nobody has pointed to any actual code. If there are any real cases, their number is likely quite small.) If RCtso ordering is not needed, why require it? A handful of locking constructs (qspinlocks, qrwlocks, and mcs_spinlocks) are built on top of smp_cond_load_acquire() instead of an RMW-acquire instruction. It currently provides only the ordinary acquire semantics, not the stronger ordering this patch would require of locks. In theory this could be ameliorated by requiring smp_cond_load_acquire() in combination with ordinary release also to be RCtso (which is currently true on all supported architectures). On future weakly ordered architectures, people may be able to implement locks in a non-RCtso fashion with significant performance improvement. Meeting the RCtso requirement would necessarily add run-time overhead. Overall, the technical aspects of these arguments seem relatively minor, and it appears mostly to boil down to a matter of opinion. Since the opinions of senior kernel maintainers such as Linus, Peter, and Will carry more weight than those of Luc and Andrea, this patch changes the model in accordance with the maintainers' wishes.
