This allows us to defer the sanity checks until after the atomic operation, which removes many uses of cmpxchg() in favour of atomic_fetch_{add,sub}(). Some crude perf results obtained from lkdtm show substantially less overhead, despite the checking: $ perf stat -r 3 -B -- echo {ATOMIC,REFCOUNT}_TIMING >/sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT # arm64 ATOMIC_TIMING: 46.50451 +- 0.00134 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.00% ) REFCOUNT_TIMING (REFCOUNT_FULL, mainline): 77.57522 +- 0.00982 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.01% ) REFCOUNT_TIMING (REFCOUNT_FULL, this series): 48.7181 +- 0.0256 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.05% ) # x86 ATOMIC_TIMING: 31.6225 +- 0.0776 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.25% ) REFCOUNT_TIMING (!REFCOUNT_FULL, mainline/x86 asm): 31.6689 +- 0.0901 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.28% ) REFCOUNT_TIMING (REFCOUNT_FULL, mainline): 53.203 +- 0.138 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.26% ) REFCOUNT_TIMING (REFCOUNT_FULL, this series): 31.7408 +- 0.0486 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.15% ) Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Elena Reshetova Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Ard Biesheuvel Tested-by: Hanjun Guo Tested-by: Jan Glauber Reviewed-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Will Deacon --- include/linux/refcount.h | 131 ++++++++++++++++++++++----------------- 1 file changed, 75 insertions(+), 56 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/linux/refcount.h b/include/linux/refcount.h index e719b5b1220e..e3b218d669ce 100644 --- a/include/linux/refcount.h +++ b/include/linux/refcount.h @@ -47,8 +47,8 @@ static inline unsigned int refcount_read(const refcount_t *r) #ifdef CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL #include -#define REFCOUNT_MAX (UINT_MAX - 1) -#define REFCOUNT_SATURATED UINT_MAX +#define REFCOUNT_MAX INT_MAX +#define REFCOUNT_SATURATED (INT_MIN / 2) /* * Variant of atomic_t specialized for reference counts. @@ -56,9 +56,47 @@ static inline unsigned int refcount_read(const refcount_t *r) * The interface matches the atomic_t interface (to aid in porting) but only * provides the few functions one should use for reference counting. * - * It differs in that the counter saturates at REFCOUNT_SATURATED and will not - * move once there.
