[PATCH 0/2] tools/memory-model: remove ACCESS_ONCE()

[PATCH 0/2] tools/memory-model: remove ACCESS_ONCE()

[Mark Rutland]

Since commit:
    
  b899a850431e2dd0 ("compiler.h: Remove ACCESS_ONCE()")
    
... there has been no definition of ACCESS_ONCE() in the kernel tree,
and it has been necessary to use READ_ONCE() or WRITE_ONCE() instead.

However, since then the kernel memory model was added to the Linux tree,
sporting new instances of ACCESS_ONCE() in examples and in the memory
model itself.

These patches remove the new instances of ACCESS_ONCE() for consistency
with the contemporary codebase.

Thanks,
Mark.

[PATCH 1/2] tools/memory-model: remove ACCESS_ONCE() from recipes

[Mark Rutland]

Since commit:

  b899a850431e2dd0 ("compiler.h: Remove ACCESS_ONCE()")

... there has been no definition of ACCESS_ONCE() in the kernel tree,
and it has been necessary to use READ_ONCE() or WRITE_ONCE() instead.

Let's update the exmaples in recipes.txt likewise for consistency, using
READ_ONCE() for reads.

Applied, thank you both!  These both are ready for the upcoming merge
window.

While I am at it, here is the current scorecard:

e9ff68680cd4 tools/memory-model: Add litmus test for full multicopy atomicity
c21fcc6594f1 tools/memory-model: Fix ISA2+pooncelock+pooncelock+pombonce name
aa838e0b70e1 MAINTAINERS: Add Daniel Lustig as an LKMM reviewer
3cb0d7701c4c locking/memory-barriers.txt/kokr: Update Korean translation to fix broken DMA vs. MMIO ordering example
0bde941f3629 tools/memory-model: Remove ACCESS_ONCE() from recipes
80b7b05c3aa0 tools/memory-model: Remove ACCESS_ONCE() from model

	The above patches are ready for the upcoming merge window because
	each has at least one Acked-by or Reviewed-by.

6098ce88bc4d tools/memory-model: Make scripts executable
5bb22d0126f9 tools/memory-model: Rename litmus tests to comply to norm7
1bc179880fba docs: atomic_ops: Describe atomic_set as a write operation

	The above patches need at least one additional Acked-by
	or Reviewed-by.  If any of you gets a chance, please do
	look them over.

51b0a8985c5a EXP tools/memory-model: Add litmus-test naming scheme

	This patch needs me to get Will Deacon's feedback applied.  :-/

06e99a0d9662 EXP tools/memory-model: Add .cfg and .cat files for s390

	This is a placeholder, and probably won't ever go upstream
	into the Linux kernel.  (Maybe someday into herd where the
	other architecture-specific .cat files live.)

Glad this came out. ;-)

No objection to the patch: feel free to add my Reviewed-by: tag.

(BTW, atomic_set() would be better mapped to WRITE_ONCE()... in fact, to
 be fair, some archs do it the __asm__ __volatile__() way).

I do however have some suggestions concerning "the process":  searching
LKML for the patch and the related discussion, I could only find:

  [PATCH] docs: atomic_ops: atomic_set is a write (not read) operation

and I realize that none of the person Cc:-ed in this thread, except you,
were Cc:-ed in that discussion (in compliance with get_maintainer.pl).

My suggestions:

  1) Merge the file touched by that patch into (the recently created):
  
        Documentation/atomic_t.txt

     (FWIW, queued in my TODO list).

  2) Add the entry:

	F: Documentation/atomic_t.txt

     to the "ATOMIC INFRASTRUCTURE" subsystem in the MAINTAINERS file so
     that developers can easily find (the intended?) reviewers for their
     patch. (Of course, this will need ACK from the ATOMIC people).

Some consolidation of documentation would be good.  ;-)

Thoughts from others?

If the merging will take awhile, it might also be good to put
Documentation/core-api/atomic_ops.rst somewhere as well.

Indeed.  And let's not forget the "orphaned":

  Documentation/atomic_bitops.txt
  Documentation/core-api/refcount-vs-atomic.rst

Lots of puppies to adopt, aren't there?  ;-)

I could make the argument that these files are part of the documentation
for the Linux kernel's memory model, and that they should therefore be
added to the LKMM MAINTAINERS entry.  Any objections?  (Adding David
Miller in his capacity of author of atomic_ops.txt.)

Separately, it might be good to make sure that the linux-arch folks are
aware of proposed changes to the memory model.  To that end, would it
make sense to add the linux-arch mailing list to that same entry?

    tools/memory-model: Add informal LKMM documentation to MAINTAINERS
    
    The Linux-kernel memory model has been informal, with a number of
    text files documenting it.  It would be good to make sure that these
    informal descriptions are kept up to date and/or pruned appropriately.
    This commit therefore brings more of those text files into the LKMM
    MAINTAINERS file entry.

Very good, thank you!  I have a --squash commit in -rcu to add your ack

LKMM patch scorecard for v4.19 merge window

[Paul E. McKenney]

Hello!

Here is the updated scorecard:

e9ff68680cd4 tools/memory-model: Add litmus test for full multicopy atomicity
c21fcc6594f1 tools/memory-model: Fix ISA2+pooncelock+pooncelock+pombonce name
2f5a1b9b74a2 MAINTAINERS: Add Daniel Lustig as an LKMM reviewer
e1c071fab8e1 locking/memory-barriers.txt/kokr: Update Korean translation to fix broken DMA vs. MMIO ordering example
b95546bdac98 tools/memory-model: Remove ACCESS_ONCE() from recipes
a1e5fd06bb6b tools/memory-model: Remove ACCESS_ONCE() from model
a54df4f2be14 tools/memory-model: Make scripts executable
c6b04f78bf25 docs: atomic_ops: Describe atomic_set as a write operation
36853a86cf04 tools/memory-model: Add informal LKMM documentation to MAINTAINERS
950ba9d5bb8f sched: Use smp_mb() in wake_woken_function()
c7af75d2ba8b locking: Clarify requirements for smp_mb__after_spinlock()
bc8209732066 doc: Update wake_up() & co. memory-barrier guarantees

	All of these are ready for the upcoming merge window,
	thanks everyone!

473fd6e42ddc tools/memory-model: Rename litmus tests to comply to norm7

	This one still needs an ack.

820d0072320d EXP tools/memory-model: Add litmus-test naming scheme

	This one still requires me to apply feedback.

a713319eb9c5 EXP tools/memory-model: Add .cfg and .cat files for s390

	This one is a not-for-mainline placeholder.

							Thanx, Paul
