[PATCH for 4.16 00/10] membarrier updates for 4.16

[PATCH for 4.16 00/10] membarrier updates for 4.16

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Hi Ingo, Hi Peter,

Here are the membarrier patch series I would like to submit for the
4.16 merge window. It would be appreciated of those can go through the
scheduler tree.

It's the same series as last week, rebased on top of 4.15-rc8.

Highlights:

"powerpc: membarrier: Skip memory barrier in switch_mm()" takes care of
a TODO that was left in the private expedited implementation when merged
in 4.14: an extra memory barrier was added on context switch on powerpc.
Ensure that the barrier is only performed when scheduling between
different processes, only for threads belonging to processes that have
registered their intent to use the private expedited command.

"membarrier: provide SHARED_EXPEDITED command" adds new commands to
membarrier for registration and use of membarrier across shared
memory mappings. The non-expedited command has proven to be really
too slow (taking 10ms and more to complete) for real-world use. The
expedited version completes in a matter of microseconds.

"membarrier: Provide core serializing command" provides core
serialization for JIT reclaim. We received positive feedback from
Android developers that the proposed ABI fits their use-case.
Only x86 32/64 and arm 64 implement this command so far. This is
opt-in per architecture.

The other patches add selftests and documentation.

Thanks,

Mathieu

[PATCH for 4.16 02/10] powerpc: membarrier: Skip memory barrier in switch_mm() (v7)

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Allow PowerPC to skip the full memory barrier in switch_mm(), and
only issue the barrier when scheduling into a task belonging to a
process that has registered to use expedited private.

Threads targeting the same VM but which belong to different thread
groups is a tricky case. It has a few consequences:

It turns out that we cannot rely on get_nr_threads(p) to count the
number of threads using a VM. We can use
(atomic_read(&mm->mm_users) == 1 && get_nr_threads(p) == 1)
instead to skip the synchronize_sched() for cases where the VM only has
a single user, and that user only has a single thread.

It also turns out that we cannot use for_each_thread() to set
thread flags in all threads using a VM, as it only iterates on the
thread group.

Therefore, test the membarrier state variable directly rather than
relying on thread flags. This means
membarrier_register_private_expedited() needs to set the
MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED flag, issue synchronize_sched(), and
only then set MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_READY which allows
private expedited membarrier commands to succeed.
membarrier_arch_switch_mm() now tests for the
MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED flag.

Changes since v1:
- Use test_ti_thread_flag(next, ...) instead of test_thread_flag() in
  powerpc membarrier_arch_sched_in(), given that we want to specifically
  check the next thread state.
- Add missing ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER_HOOKS in Kconfig.
- Use task_thread_info() to pass thread_info from task to
  *_ti_thread_flag().

Changes since v2:
- Move membarrier_arch_sched_in() call to finish_task_switch().
- Check for NULL t->mm in membarrier_arch_fork().
- Use membarrier_sched_in() in generic code, which invokes the
  arch-specific membarrier_arch_sched_in(). This fixes allnoconfig
  build on PowerPC.
- Move asm/membarrier.h include under CONFIG_MEMBARRIER, fixing
  allnoconfig build on PowerPC.
- Build and runtime tested on PowerPC.

Changes since v3:
- Simply rely on copy_mm() to copy the membarrier_private_expedited mm
  field on fork.
- powerpc: test thread flag instead of reading
  membarrier_private_expedited in membarrier_arch_fork().
- powerpc: skip memory barrier in membarrier_arch_sched_in() if coming
  from kernel thread, since mmdrop() implies a full barrier.
- Set membarrier_private_expedited to 1 only after arch registration
  code, thus eliminating a race where concurrent commands could succeed
  when they should fail if issued concurrently with process
  registration.
- Use READ_ONCE() for membarrier_private_expedited field access in
  membarrier_private_expedited. Matches WRITE_ONCE() performed in
  process registration.

Changes since v4:
- Move powerpc hook from sched_in() to switch_mm(), based on feedback
  from Nicholas Piggin.

Changes since v5:
- Rebase on v4.14-rc6.
- Fold "Fix: membarrier: Handle CLONE_VM + !CLONE_THREAD correctly on
  powerpc (v2)"

Changes since v6:
- Rename MEMBARRIER_STATE_SWITCH_MM to MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED.

[PATCH for 4.16 03/10] membarrier: Document scheduler barrier requirements (v5)

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Document the membarrier requirement on having a full memory barrier in
__schedule() after coming from user-space, before storing to rq->curr.
It is provided by smp_mb__after_spinlock() in __schedule().

Document that membarrier requires a full barrier on transition from
kernel thread to userspace thread. We currently have an implicit barrier
from atomic_dec_and_test() in mmdrop() that ensures this.

The x86 switch_mm_irqs_off() full barrier is currently provided by many
cpumask update operations as well as write_cr3(). Document that
write_cr3() provides this barrier.

Changes since v1:
- Update comments to match reality for code paths which are after
  storing to rq->curr, before returning to user-space, based on feedback
  from Andrea Parri.
Changes since v2:
- Update changelog (smp_mb__before_spinlock -> smp_mb__after_spinlock).
  Based on feedback from Andrea Parri.
Changes since v3:
- Clarify comments following feeback from Peter Zijlstra.
Changes since v4:
- Update comment regarding powerpc barrier.

[PATCH for 4.16 04/10] membarrier: provide SHARED_EXPEDITED command (v2)

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Allow expedited membarrier to be used for data shared between processes
(shared memory).

Processes wishing to receive the membarriers register with
MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_SHARED_EXPEDITED. Those which want to issue
membarrier invoke MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED_EXPEDITED.

This allows extremely simple kernel-level implementation: we have almost
everything we need with the PRIVATE_EXPEDITED barrier code. All we need
to do is to add a flag in the mm_struct that will be used to check
whether we need to send the IPI to the current thread of each CPU.

There is a slight downside to this approach compared to targeting
specific shared memory users: when performing a membarrier operation,
all registered "shared" receivers will get the barrier, even if they
don't share a memory mapping with the "sender" issuing
MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED_EXPEDITED.

This registration approach seems to fit the requirement of not
disturbing processes that really deeply care about real-time: they
simply should not register with MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_SHARED_EXPEDITED.

[PATCH for 4.16 06/10] membarrier: Provide core serializing command

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Provide core serializing membarrier command to support memory reclaim
by JIT.

Each architecture needs to explicitly opt into that support by
documenting in their architecture code how they provide the core
serializing instructions required when returning from the membarrier
IPI, and after the scheduler has updated the curr->mm pointer (before
going back to user-space). They should then select
ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER_SYNC_CORE to enable support for that command on
their architecture.

[PATCH for 4.16 07/10] x86: Introduce sync_core_before_usermode (v2)

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Introduce an architecture function that ensures the current CPU
issues a core serializing instruction before returning to usermode.

This is needed for the membarrier "sync_core" command.

Architectures defining the sync_core_before_usermode() static inline
need to select ARCH_HAS_SYNC_CORE_BEFORE_USERMODE.

[PATCH for 4.16 08/10] membarrier: x86: Provide core serializing command (v3)

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

There are two places where core serialization is needed by membarrier:

1) When returning from the membarrier IPI,
2) After scheduler updates curr to a thread with a different mm, before
   going back to user-space, since the curr->mm is used by membarrier to
   check whether it needs to send an IPI to that CPU.

x86-32 uses iret as return from interrupt, and both iret and sysexit to go
back to user-space. The iret instruction is core serializing, but not
sysexit.

x86-64 uses iret as return from interrupt, which takes care of the IPI.
However, it can return to user-space through either sysretl (compat
code), sysretq, or iret. Given that sysret{l,q} is not core serializing,
we rely instead on write_cr3() performed by switch_mm() to provide core
serialization after changing the current mm, and deal with the special
case of kthread -> uthread (temporarily keeping current mm into
active_mm) by adding a sync_core() in that specific case.

Use the new sync_core_before_usermode() to guarantee this.

This should say:

And I really have to ask whether this should be named _GLOBAL_ instead of
_SHARED_.

Hmm?

This wants to be split into x86 and core changes. Ideally you make the core
changes before the previous patch and add the empty inline into
linux/processor.h....

Good point, will fix.

I agree with you that this behavior fits better a "global" definition
than a "shared" one, especially given that it does not target a specific
shared memory mapping. The main issue I have is due to the pre-existing
MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED introduced in Linux 4.3. That one should also have
been called "MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL" based on the current line of thoughts.

Do you envision a way to transition forward to a new "MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL" for
the currently existing MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED ?

Perhaps with a duplicated enum entry ?

enum membarrier_cmd {
        MEMBARRIER_CMD_QUERY                                    = 0,
        MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED                                   = (1 << 0), /* use MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL instead */
        MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL                                   = (1 << 0),
[...]
};

That should work. Though I doubt that you ever can get rid of CMD_SHARED,
but at least the code is clearer that way.

Good point, done. The first commit introducing the new command now also
introduces the generic stuff moved from the x86 patches.

Scratch this: it's cleaner if I add a separate generic patch to introduce
just the empty inline into linux/processor.h and the
ARCH_HAS_SYNC_CORE_BEFORE_USERMODE in init/Kconfig.
