Your commit message is missing the C rules for hex constants. It says

  "hex constants are unsigned unless explicitly casted or negated."

and that's not true.

The rule is that hex constants are signed _except_ if they don't fit
in a signed.

So with a 32-bit 'int', 0x123 is signed, but 0x80000000 is unsigned.

So the reason (-0x00010000) is signed is _not_ because of the
negation, but simply because 0x00010000 fits in a signed int. So for
example, the constant (-0xf0000000) is still unsigned, despite the
negation.

So to make something signed, you need to either cast it, make sure it
fits in a signed int, use the 'l' postfix (which also makes it long,
of course), or use a decimal representation. So

   #define X 4294901760

is a _signed_ constant with same value as 0xffff0000 (but it's "signed
long", because the rules for decimal numbers and hex numbers are
different: a decimal number is always signed and because it doesn't
fit in 'int' it will extend to 'long'. A hex number is first done as
unsigned, and only extended to long if it doesn't fit in that.

To make things _really_ confused, sometimes the types actually depend
on whether you're compiling with the c90 standards. A decimal constant
is _always_ signed in traditional C - it goes from 'int' to 'long',
and stays 'long' even if it doesn't fit (ie with a 32-bit long,
2147483648 is of type 'long' even though it doesn't fit in 'long' and
is negative). But in c90, it does from 'int' to 'long' to 'unsigned
long'.

Or maybe it was the other way around. I forget.

Confused yet?

The basic rule becomes: never _ever_ overflow 'int' in a constant,
without specifying the exact type you want. That way you avoid all the
subtle cases.

Re: [GIT] Sparc

Oh,
 I noticed another thing:

In commit 86fa04b8742ac681d470786f55e2403ada0075b2 you fix the return
type, but you still have the wrong _argument_ type:

  extern void atomic64_add(int, atomic64_t *);
  extern void atomic64_sub(int, atomic64_t *);
  extern long atomic64_add_ret(int, atomic64_t *);
  extern long atomic64_sub_ret(int, atomic64_t *);

note how if somebody does

   atomic64_add(0x100000000ull, &x)

sparc64 will get it wrong, because it will only take the low 32 bits
of the first argument, and add zero to the 64-bit counter.

Which is definitely not what the code intended, I think.

I merged your pull request, but you've got some fixing up to do,
methinks. I also really think you need to make your rwsem's use 64-bit
values on sparc64, because otherwise you can overflow the mmap_sem by
having more than 65536 threads doing page-faults (on 32-bit, having
more than 2**16 threads in one process is unlikely to work for other
reasons, like just pure stack usage, so we don't really care about the
32-bit case)

Thanks, I'll fix that up.

I have a patch to do this already, just need to test it.

You should bug the powerpc folks too :-)

Actually, it's not that complicated:

1) base and suffices choose the possible types.
2) order of types is always the same: int -> unsigned -> long -> unsigned
long -> long long -> unsigned long long
3) we always choose the first type the value would fit into
4) L in suffix == "at least long"
5) LL in suffix == "at least long long"
6) U in suffix == "unsigned"
7) without U in suffix, base 10 == "signed"

That's it.  C90 differs from C99 only in one thing - long long (and LL) isn't
there.  The subtle mess Linus has mentioned is C90 gccism: gcc has allowed
unsigned long for decimal constants, as the last resort.  I.e. if you had
a plain decimal constant that wouldn't fit into long but would fit into
unsigned long, gcc generated a warning and treated it as unsigned long.
C90 would reject the damn thing.  _Bad_ extension, since in C99 the same
constant would be a legitimate signed long long.

But yes, "use the suffix when unsure" is a damn good idea, _especially_ since
the sizeof(long) actually varies between the targets we care about.

32K threads :-) you guys are nuts !

Here's an untested patch for the folks on linuxppc-dev to look at, I'll
review my own stuff & test tomorrow.

Cheers,
Ben.

powerpc: Make rwsem use "long" types on 64-bit platforms

This should avoid overflow of the mmap_sem when playing with insane
number of threads.

Allright, gcc's being a pain, and atomics are a struct so we can't that
easily assign.

I tried various tricks but so far they didn't work. I'll have another
look tomorrow, but I may end up having to keep all the crap typecasts.

The casts are pretty much unavoidable.

Here's what I'm going to end up using on sparc64:

--------------------
sparc64: Make rwsems 64-bit.

Basically tip-off the powerpc code, use a 64-bit type and atomic64_t
interfaces for the implementation.

This gets us off of the by-hand asm code I wrote, which frankly I
think probably ruins I-cache hit rates.

The idea was the keep the call chains less deep, but anything taking
the rw-semaphores probably is also calling other stuff and therefore
already has allocated a stack-frame.  So no real stack frame savings
ever.

Ben H. has posted patches to make powerpc use 64-bit too and with some
abstractions we can probably use a shared header file somewhere.

You could write this explicit as:

As rwsem_64 is gone now.

Similar here, but using atomic_long_t instead so it works for 32-bit too
for me. I suppose we could make that part common indeed.

What about asm-generic/rwsem-atomic.h  or rwsem-cmpxchg.h ?

Below is my current patch, seems to boot fine here so far.

Cheers,
Ben

Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Make rwsem use "long" type

This makes the 64-bit kernel use 64-bit signed integers for the counter
(effectively supporting 32-bit of active count in the semaphore), thus
avoiding things like overflow of the mmap_sem if you use a really crazy
number of threads

Using rwsem-cmpxchg.h sounds best I guess.

[PATCH 2/2] rwsem: Move powerpc atomic-long based implementation to asm-generic

[Benjamin Herrenschmidt]

Other architectures who support cmpxchg and atomic_long can
use that directly.

#ifdef __KERNEL__ is only relevant for exported headers.
For kernel only headers like this is does not make sense,
but it does not harm.

I'll move sparc64 over to this once it hits Linus's tree.

The implementation looks good for asm-generic, but there is now an asymmetry
between the spinlock and the atomic_long_t based version.

Maybe we can make them both do the same thing, either of

1. create include/linux/rwsem-cmpxchg.h and add an
   #elif defined(CONFIG_RWSEM_GENERIC_ATOMIC) to include/linux/rwsem.h

2. move include/linux/rwsem-spinlock.h to include/asm-generic/ and
   include that from all architectures that want the spinlock based version.

Further comments:

* Alpha has an optimization for the uniprocessor case, where the atomic
instructions get turned into nonatomic additions. The spinlock based
version uses no locks on UP but disables interrupts for reasons I don't
understand (nothing running at interrupt time should try to access an rwsem).
Should the generic version do the same as Alpha?

* Is there any architecture that would still benefit from having a separate
rwsem implementation? AFAICT all the remaining ones are just variations of
the same concept of using cmpxchg (or xadd in case of x86), which is what
atomics typically end up doing anyway.

I've seen drivers in the past do trylocks at interrupt time ... tho I
agree it sucks.

It depends how sensitive rwsems are. 

The "generic" variant based on atomic's and cmpxchg on powerpc is
sub-optimal in the sense that it has stronger memory barriers that would
be necessary (atomic_inc_return for example has both acquire and
release).

But that vs. one more pile of inline asm, we decided it wasn't hot
enough a spot for us to care back then.

Cheers,
Ben.

Recently there was a thread where this was declared absolutely illegal.

Maybe it was allowed, or sort-of worked before, and that's why it's
accounted for with IRQ disables in some implementations.  I don't
know.

Ok, I'm happy to say it's a big no-no then.

Arnd, do you want to take over the moving to asm-generic and take care
of the spinlock case as well ? I can send Linus the first patch that
changes powerpc to use atomic_long now along with a few other things I
have pending, then you can pickup from there. Or do you want me to
continue pushing my patch as-is and we can look at cleaning up the
spinlock case separately ?

Cheers,
Ben.

Well, it was there in the first place, I think we've carried around
forever, but as you say, it doesn't really harm.

I'm currently doing too many things at once, please push in your existing
patch for now, we can continue from there.
