This commit adds functionality to judgelitmus.sh to allow it to handle both the "DATARACE" markers in the "Result:" comments in litmus tests and the "Flag data-race" markers in LKMM output. For C-language tests, if either marker is present, the other must also be as well, at least for litmus tests having a "Result:" comment. If the LKMM output indicates a data race, then failures of the Always/Sometimes/Never portion of the "Result:" prediction are forgiven. The reason for forgiving "Result:" mispredictions is that data races can result in "interesting" compiler optimizations, so that all bets are off in the data-race case.

Currently, parseargs.sh expects to consume all the command-line arguments, which prevents the calling script from having any of its own arguments. This commit therefore causes parseargs.sh to stop consuming arguments when it encounters a "--" argument, leaving any remaining arguments for the calling script. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The history-check scripts currently use grep to ignore non-C-language litmus tests, which is a bit fragile. This commit therefore enlists the aid of "mselect7 -arch C", given Luc Maraget's recent modifications that allow mselect7 to operate in filter mode. This change requires herdtools 7.52-32-g1da3e0e50977 or later. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

The parseargs.sh regular expression for the --jobs argument incorrectly requires that the number of jobs be at least 10, that is, have at least two digits.

This commits enables the "--hw" argument for the checkghlitmus.sh script, causing it to convert any applicable C-language litmus tests to the specified flavor of assembly language, to verify these assembly-language litmus tests, and checking compatibility of the outcomes. Note that the conversion does not yet handle locking, RCU, SRCU, plain C-language memory accesses, or casts. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

Currently, the scripts specify the CPU's .cat file to herd. But this is pointless because herd will select a good and sufficient .cat file from the assembly-language litmus test itself. This commit therefore removes the -model argument to herd, allowing herd to figure the CPU family out itself. Note that the user can override herd's choice using the "--herdopts" argument to the scripts. Suggested-by: Luc Maranget <luc.maranget@inria.fr> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

This commit retains the assembly-language litmus tests generated from the C-language litmus tests, appending the hardware tag to the original C-language litmus test's filename. Thus, S+poonceonces.litmus.AArch64 contains the Armv8 assembly language corresponding to the C-language S+poonceonces.litmus test. This commit also updates the .gitignore to avoid committing these automatically generated assembly-language litmus tests. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

When the github scripts see ".litmus.out", they assume that there must be a corresponding C-language ".litmus" file. Won't they be disappointed when they instead see nothing, or, worse yet, the corresponding assembly-language litmus test? This commit therefore swaps the hardware tag with the "litmus" to avoid this sort of disappointment. This commit also adjusts the .gitignore file so as to avoid adding these new ".out" files to git.

In the absence of "Result:" comments, the runlitmus.sh script relies on litmus.out files from prior LKMM runs. This can be a bit user-hostile, so this commit makes runlitmus.sh generate any needed .litmus.out files that don't already exist. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

The judgelitmus.sh script currently relies solely on the "Result:" comment in the .litmus file. This is problematic when using the --hw argument, because it is necessary to check the hardware model against LKMM even in the absence of "Result:" comments. This commit therefore modifies judgelitmus.sh to check the observation in a .litmus.out file, in case one was generated by a previous LKMM run. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

This commit makes checklitmus.sh and checkalllitmus.sh check to see if a hardware verification was specified (via the --hw command-line argument, which sets the LKMM_HW_MAP_FILE environment variable). If so, the C-language litmus test is converted to the specified type of assembly-language litmus test and herd is run on it. Hardware is permitted to be stronger than LKMM requires, so "Always" and "Never" verifications of "Sometimes" C-language litmus tests are forgiven. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Paul E. McKenney authored
This commit makes the judgelitmus.sh script check the --hw argument (AKA the LKMM_HW_MAP_FILE environment variable) and to adjust its judgment for a run where a C-language litmus test has been translated to assembly and the assembly version verified. In this case, the assembly verification output is checked against the C-language script's "Result:" comment. However, because hardware can be stronger than LKMM requires, the judgelitmus.sh script forgives verification mismatches featuring a "Sometimes" in the C-language script and an "Always" or "Never" assembly-language verification. Note that deadlock is not forgiven, however, this should not normally be an issue given that C-language tests containing locking, RCU, or SRCU cannot be translated to assembly. However, this issue can crop up in litmus tests that mimic deadlock by using the "filter" clause to ignore all executions. It can also crop up when certain herd arguments are used to autofilter everything that does not match the "exists" clause in cases where the "exists" clause cannot be satisfied.

This commit adds a --hw argument to parseargs.sh to specify the CPU family for a hardware verification. For example, "--hw AArch64" will specify that a C-language litmus test is to be translated to ARMv8 and the result verified. This will set the LKMM_HW_MAP_FILE environment variable accordingly. If there is no --hw argument, this environment variable will be set to the empty string. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

If a litmus test specifies "Result: Never" and if it contains an unconditional ("hard") deadlock, then running checklitmus.sh on it will not flag any errors, despite the fact that there are no executions. This commit therefore updates judgelitmus.sh to complain about tests with no executions that are marked, but not as "Result: DEADLOCK". Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

Currently, judgelitmus.sh treats use of unknown primitives (such as srcu_read_lock() prior to SRCU support) as "!!! Verification error". This can be misleading because it fails to call out typos and running a version LKMM on a litmus test requiring a feature not provided by that version. This commit therefore changes judgelitmus.sh to check for unknown primitives and to report them, for example, with: '!!! Current LKMM version does not know "rcu_write_lock"'. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Currently, cmplitmushist.sh treats timeouts (as in the "--timeout" argument) as "Missing Observation line". This can be misleading because it is quite possible that running the test longer would have produced a verification.

Most Linux-kernel uses of locking are straightforward, but there are corner-case uses that rely on less well-known aspects of the lock and unlock primitives. This commit therefore adds a locking.txt and litmus tests in Documentation/litmus-tests/locking to explain these corner-case uses.

Commit aa47a7c2 ("lib/cpumask: deprecate nr_cpumask_bits") resulted in the cpumask operations potentially becoming hugely less efficient, because suddenly the cpumask was always considered to be variable-sized. The optimization was then later added back in a limited form by commit 6f9c07be ("lib/cpumask: add FORCE_NR_CPUS config option"), but that FORCE_NR_CPUS option is not useful in a generic kernel and more of a special case for embedded situations with fixed hardware. Instead, just re-introduce the optimization, with some changes. Instead of depending on CPUMASK_OFFSTACK being false, and then always using the full constant cpumask width, this introduces three different cpumask "sizes": - the exact size (nr_cpumask_bits) remains identical to nr_cpu_ids. This is used for situations where we should use the exact size. - the "small" size (small_cpumask_bits) is the NR_CPUS constant if it fits in a single word and the bitmap operations thus end up able to trigger the "small_const_nbits()" optimizations. This is used for the operations that have optimized single-word cases that get inlined, notably the bit find and scanning functions. - the "large" size (large_cpumask_bits) is the NR_CPUS constant if it is an sufficiently small constant that makes simple "copy" and "clear" operations more efficient. This is arbitrarily set at four words or less. As a an example of this situation, without this fixed size optimization, cpumask_clear() will generate code like movl nr_cpu_ids(%rip), %edx addq $63, %rdx shrq $3, %rdx andl $-8, %edx callq memset@PLT on x86-64, because it would calculate the "exact" number of longwords that need to be cleared. In contrast, with this patch, using a MAX_CPU of 64 (which is quite a reasonable value to use), the above becomes a single movq $0,cpumask instruction instead, because instead of caring to figure out exactly how many CPU's the system has, it just knows that the cpumask will be a single word and can just clear it all. Note that this does end up tightening the rules a bit from the original version in another way: operations that set bits in the cpumask are now limited to the actual nr_cpu_ids limit, whereas we used to do the nr_cpumask_bits thing almost everywhere in the cpumask code. But if you just clear bits, or scan for bits, we can use the simpler compile-time constants. In the process, remove 'cpumask_complement()' and 'for_each_cpu_not()' which were not useful, and which fundamentally have to be limited to 'nr_cpu_ids'. Better remove them now than have somebody introduce use of them later. Of course, on x86-64 with MAXSMP there is no sane small compile-time constant for the cpumask sizes, and we end up using the actual CPU bits, and will generate the above kind of horrors regardless. Please don't use MAXSMP unless you really expect to have machines with thousands of cores. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Pull VM_FAULT_RETRY fixes from Al Viro: "Some of the page fault handlers do not deal with the following case correctly: - handle_mm_fault() has returned VM_FAULT_RETRY - there is a pending fatal signal - fault had happened in kernel mode Correct action in such case is not "return unconditionally" - fatal signals are handled only upon return to userland and something like copy_to_user() would end up retrying the faulting instruction and triggering the same fault again and again. What we need to do in such case is to make the caller to treat that as failed uaccess attempt - handle exception if there is an exception handler for faulting instruction or oops if there isn't one. Over the years some architectures had been fixed and now are handling that case properly; some still do not. This series should fix the remaining ones.

include/linux/compiler-intel.h had no update in the past 3 years. We often forget about the third C compiler to build the kernel. For example, commit a0a12c3e ("asm goto: eradicate CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO") only mentioned GCC and Clang. init/Kconfig defines CC_IS_GCC and CC_IS_CLANG but not CC_IS_ICC, and nobody has reported any issue. I guess the Intel Compiler support is broken, and nobody is caring about it. Harald Arnesen pointed out ICC (classic Intel C/C++ compiler) is deprecated: $ icc -v icc: remark #10441: The Intel(R) C++ Compiler Classic (ICC) is deprecated and will be removed from product release in the second half of 2023.

The migration code ends up temporarily stashing information of the wrong type in unused fields of the newly allocated destination folio. That all works fine, but gcc does complain about the pointer type mis-use: mm/migrate.c: In function ‘__migrate_folio_extract’: mm/migrate.c:1050:20: note: randstruct: casting between randomized structure pointer types (ssa): ‘struct anon_vma’ and ‘struct address_space’ 1050 | *anon_vmap = (void *)dst->mapping; | ~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ and gcc is actually right to complain since it really doesn't understand that this is a very temporary special case where this is ok. This could be fixed in different ways by just obfuscating the assignment sufficiently that gcc doesn't see what is going on, but the truly "proper C" way to do this is by explicitly using a union. Using unions for type conversions like this is normally hugely ugly and syntactically nasty, but this really is one of the few cases where we want to make it clear that we're not doing type conversion, we're really re-using the value bit-for-bit just using another type. IOW, this should not become a common pattern, but in this one case using that odd union is probably the best way to document to the compiler what is conceptually going on here. [ Side note: there are valid cases where we convert pointers to other pointer types, notably the whole "folio vs page" situation, where the types actually have fundamental commonalities. The fact that the gcc note is limited to just randomized structures means that we don't see equivalent warnings for those cases, but it migth also mean that we miss other cases where we do play these kinds of dodgy games, and this kind of explicit conversion might be a good idea. ] I verified that at least for an allmodconfig build on x86-64, this generates the exact same code, apart from line numbers and assembler comment changes.
