[RFC PATCH 00/20] Remove Mysterious Macro Intended to Obscure Weird Behaviours (mmiowb())

[Will Deacon]

Hi all,

This series attempts to remove explicit mmiowb() calls from driver code,
instead adding it to spin_unlock() for architectures that require it.

The infamous "PowerPC trick" was found to be flawed, so a correct but probably
slower version is made generic for architectures wishing to use it. I've ported
RISC-V over to this interface, and hooked up PowerPC to the generic
infrastructure but with their existing implementation. Other architectures that
require a definition for mmiowb() now have it unconditionally called from their
spin_unlock() code. If this is deemed to be expensive, they should be able to
do something similar to RISC-V.

I used coccinelle to remove the vast majority of the users, and the trivial
spatch invocation is included in the commit message of that patch. I've also
*build-tested* this for RISC-V, ia64, mips64, sh, powerpc64 and arm64.

This is based on a couple of other I/O-related series that I have pending:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/2/22/484
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/2/22/500

so I've pushed the whole lot out on a branch for your comfort and convenience:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/will/linux.git io

Feedback welcome,

Will

[RFC PATCH 01/20] asm-generic/mmiowb: Add generic implementation of mmiowb() tracking

[Will Deacon]

In preparation for removing all explicit mmiowb() calls from driver
code, implement a tracking system in asm-generic based on the PowerPC
implementation. This allows architectures with a non-empty mmiowb()
definition to automatically have the barrier inserted in spin_unlock()
following a critical section containing an I/O write.

[RFC PATCH 02/20] arch: Use asm-generic header for asm/mmiowb.h

[Will Deacon]

Hook up asm-generic/mmiowb.h to Kbuild for all architectures so that we
can subsequently include asm/mmiowb.h from core code.

[RFC PATCH 03/20] mmiowb: Hook up mmiowb helpers to spinlocks and generic I/O accessors

[Will Deacon]

Removing explicit calls to mmiowb() from driver code means that we must
now call into the generic mmiowb_spin_{lock,unlock}() functions from the
core spinlock code. In order to elide barriers following critical
sections without any I/O writes, we also hook into the asm-generic I/O
routines.

[Will Deacon]

ARM includes asm-generic/io.h, which provides a dummy definition of
mmiowb() if one isn't already provided by the architecture.

[RFC PATCH 06/20] x86: io: Remove useless definition of mmiowb()

[Will Deacon]

x86 maps mmiowb() to barrier(), but this is superfluous because a
compiler barrier is already implied by spin_unlock(). Since x86 also
includes asm-generic/io.h in its asm/io.h file, we can remove the
definition entirely and pick up the dummy definition from core code.

[RFC PATCH 09/20] sh: Add unconditional mmiowb() to arch_spin_unlock()

[Will Deacon]

The mmiowb() macro is horribly difficult to use and drivers will continue
to work most of the time if they omit a call when it is required.

Rather than rely on driver authors getting this right, push mmiowb() into
arch_spin_unlock() for sh. If this is deemed to be a performance issue,
a subsequent optimisation could make use of ARCH_HAS_MMIOWB to elide
the barrier in cases where no I/O writes were performned inside the
critical section.

[RFC PATCH 12/20] powerpc: mmiowb: Hook up mmwiob() implementation to asm-generic code

[Will Deacon]

In a bid to kill off explicit mmiowb() usage in driver code, hook up
the asm-generic mmiowb() tracking code but override all of the functions
so that the existing (flawed) implementation is preserved on Power.

Future work should either use the asm-generic implementation entirely,
or implement a similar counting mechanism to avoid erroneously skipping
barrier invocations when they are needed.

[RFC PATCH 13/20] riscv: mmiowb: Hook up mmwiob() implementation to asm-generic code

[Will Deacon]

In a bid to kill off explicit mmiowb() usage in driver code, hook up
the asm-generic mmiowb() tracking code for riscv, so that an mmiowb()
is automatically issued from spin_unlock() if an I/O write was performed
in the critical section.

[RFC PATCH 14/20] Documentation: Kill all references to mmiowb()

The guarantees provided by mmiowb() are now provided implicitly by
spin_unlock(), so we can remove all references from this most confusing
of barriers from our Documentation.

Good riddance.

The case we want to go fast is the spin-lock and unlock case, not the
"set pending" case.

And the way you implemented this, it's exactly the wrong way around.

So I'd suggest instead doing

  static inline void mmiowb_set_pending(void)
  {
      __this_cpu_write(__mmiowb_state.mmiowb_pending,
__mmiowb_state.nesting_count);
  }

and

  static inline void mmiowb_spin_lock(void)
  {
      __this_cpu_inc(__mmiowb_state.nesting_count);
  }

which makes that spin-lock code much simpler and avoids the conditional there.

Then the unlock case could be something like

  static inline void mmiowb_spin_unlock(void)
  {
      if (unlikely(__this_cpu_read(__mmiowb_state.mmiowb_pending))) {
          __this_cpu_write(__mmiowb_state.mmiowb_pending, 0);
          mmiowb();
      }
      __this_cpu_dec(__mmiowb_state.nesting_count);
  }

or something (xchg is generally much more expensive than read, and the
common case for spinlocks is that nobody did IO inside of it).

And we don't need atomicity, since even if there's an interrupt that
does more IO while we're in the spinlock, _those_ IO's don't need to
be serialized by that spinlock.

Hmm? Entirely untested, and maybe I have a thinko somewhere, but the
above would seem to be better for the common case that really matters.
No?

Oh, one more comment: couldn't we make that mmiowb flag be right next
to the preemption count?

Because that's the common case anyway, where a spinlock increments the
preemption count too. If we put the mmiowb state in the same
cacheline, we don't cause extra cache effects, which is what really
matters, I guess.

I realize this is somewhat inconvenient, because some architectures
put preempt count in the thread structure, and others do it as a
percpu variable. But maybe the architecture could just declare where
the mmiowb state is?

Do you want me to queue this in the m68k tree for v5.2, or would
you prefer to apply the whole series?

Cheers, Geert! For now, I think it's best to keep all the patches together
since I anticipate a few rounds of rework before I have a good idea about
what the final series will look like.

I think that should be doable... I'll have a play.

Hi Linus,

Thanks for having a look.

Makes sense; I'll hook that up for the next version.

So I *am* using __this_cpu_xchg() here, which means the architecture can
get away with plain old loads and stores (which is what RISC-V does, for
example), but I see that's not the case on e.g. x86 so I'll rework using
read() and write() because it doesn't hurt.

Right, so the problem on x86 is that XCHG has an implicit LOCK prefix,
so there no !atomic variant. So even the cpu-local xchg gets the LOCK
prefix penalty, even though all we really wanted is a single
instruction.

Arguably we could fix that for __this_cpu_xchg(), which isn't IRQ-safe.

Yeah, I guess x86 _should_ really do __this_cpu_xchg() as just a
read-write pair.

In general, a read-write pair is probably always the right thing to
do, and the only reason we can't just do it in an
architecture-independent way is that we'd want to avoid doing the
address generation twice (for architectures where that is an issue).

mmiowb() was always the wrong approach. IIRC what happened is that an
ia64 platform found that real wmb() semantics were too expensive, so 
they kind of "relaxed" it, breaking everything, and then said drivers
that wanted to unbreak themselves had to add these mmiowb() in.

The right way to go of course would have been to implement wmb()
the way existing drivers expected, and add a faster io_wmb() that
only ordered mmio stores from the CPU added to the few drivers that
the platform cared about.

I think it was argued the wmb() was still technically correct because
the reordering did not happen at the CPU, but somewhere else in the 
interconnect or PCI controller. But that was just a crazy burden to
put on driver writers, and it was why the documentation was always
incomprehensible.

Not sure why Linus ever went along with it, but awesome you're removing
it. Thank you!

Thanks,
Nick

See the patches I just send.

The generic code has this right, see
include/asm-generic/percpu.h:raw_cpu_generic_xchg().

That is used in the majority of the architectures. With the patch I just
send, x86 will use two gs prefixed movs.
