[PATCH v3 0/8] Add generic support for relaxed atomics

[PATCH v3 0/8] Add generic support for relaxed atomics

[Will Deacon]

Hello,

Here is version three of the patches previously posted here:

  v1: https://lwn.net/Articles/650862/
  v2: https://lwn.net/Articles/651293/

The series adds support for a family of relaxed atomics to the kernel.
More specifically:

  - acquire/release/relaxed flavours of xchg, cmpxchg and {add,sub}_return
  - atomic_read_acquire
  - atomic_set_release

This came out of a separate patch series porting the (barrier-heavy)
qrwlock code to arm64. Rather than have arch-specific hooks littered
around the place, it makes more sense to define a core set of relaxed
atomics that can be used regardless of architecture.

Changes since v2 include:

  - Re-organised the series so it's more amenable to getting merged
    (i.e. included an extra qrwlock dependency)

  - Added some comments to the qrwlock code

  - Added extra comments to delimit the relaxed atomic macros

  - Fixed typo in comment message

Build tested on ARM, arm64, PowerPC and x86.

All feedback welcome,

Will

[PATCH v3 1/8] atomics: add acquire/release/relaxed variants of some atomic operations

[Will Deacon]

Whilst porting the generic qrwlock code over to arm64, it became
apparent that any portable locking code needs finer-grained control of
the memory-ordering guarantees provided by our atomic routines.

In particular: xchg, cmpxchg, {add,sub}_return are often used in
situations where full barrier semantics (currently the only option
available) are not required. For example, when a reader increments a
reader count to obtain a lock, checking the old value to see if a writer
was present, only acquire semantics are strictly needed.

This patch introduces three new ordering semantics for these operations:

  - *_relaxed: No ordering guarantees. This is similar to what we have
               already for the non-return atomics (e.g. atomic_add).

  - *_acquire: ACQUIRE semantics, similar to smp_load_acquire.

  - *_release: RELEASE semantics, similar to smp_store_release.

In memory-ordering speak, this means that the acquire/release semantics
are RCpc as opposed to RCsc. Consequently a RELEASE followed by an
ACQUIRE does not imply a full barrier, as already documented in
memory-barriers.txt.

Currently, all the new macros are conditionally mapped to the full-mb
variants, however if the *_relaxed version is provided by the
architecture, then the acquire/release variants are constructed by
supplementing the relaxed routine with an explicit barrier.

[PATCH v3 2/8] asm-generic: rework atomic-long.h to avoid bulk code duplication

[Will Deacon]

We can use some (admittedly ugly) macros to generate the 32-bit and
64-bit based atomic_long implementations from the same code.

[PATCH v3 5/8] locking/qrwlock: implement queue_write_unlock using smp_store_release

[Will Deacon]

Since 536fa402221f ("compiler: Allow 1- and 2-byte smp_load_acquire()
and smp_store_release()"), smp_store_release supports byte accesses, so
use that in writer unlock and remove the conditional macro override.

[PATCH v3 6/8] locking/qrwlock: make use of acquire/release/relaxed atomics

[Will Deacon]

The qrwlock implementation is slightly heavy in its use of memory
barriers, mainly through the use of cmpxchg and _return atomics, which
imply full barrier semantics.

This patch modifies the qrwlock code to use the more relaxed atomic
routines so that we can reduce the unnecessary barrier overhead on
weakly-ordered architectures.

Do we want to further specify that for the RmW operations the Read/load
will provide the acquire and the Write/store the release?

Yeah, that's not a bad idea, but if we add that then I probably need to
re-iterate the cmpxchg strangeness since a failed cmpxchg_acquire would
still not have barrier semantics with the current implementation even though
it must have performed a Read/load access.

Something like below?

Yep, works for me.
