* lockdep: No need to disable preemption in debug atomic opsFrederic Weisbecker2010-05-041-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | No need to disable preemption in the debug_atomic_* ops, as we ensure interrupts are disabled already. So let's use the __this_cpu_ops() rather than this_cpu_ops() that enclose the ops in a preempt disabled section.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We forgot to provide a !CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP case for the redundant_hardirqs_on stat handling. Manage that in the headers with a new __debug_atomic_inc() helper. Fixes: kernel/lockdep.c:2306: error: 'lockdep_stats' undeclared (first use in this function) kernel/lockdep.c:2306: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once kernel/lockdep.c:2306: error: for each function it appears in.)

* lockstat: Make lockstat counting per cpuFrederic Weisbecker2010-04-061-21/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Locking statistics are implemented using global atomic variables. This is usually fine unless some path write them very often. This is the case for the function and function graph tracers that disable irqs for each entry saved (except if the function tracer is in preempt disabled only mode). And calls to local_irq_save/restore() increment hardirqs_on_events and hardirqs_off_events stats (or similar stats for redundant versions). Incrementing these global vars for each function ends up in too much cache bouncing if lockstats are enabled. To solve this, implement the debug_atomic_*() operations using per cpu vars. -v2: Use per_cpu() instead of get_cpu_var() to fetch the desired cpu vars on debug_atomic_read() -v3: Store the stats in a structure. No need for local_t as we are NMI/irq safe. -v4: Fix tons of build errors. I thought I had tested it but I probably forgot to select the relevant config.

* lockdep: Print the shortest dependency chain if finding a circleMing Lei2009-07-241-0/+83
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently lockdep will print the 1st circle detected if it exists when acquiring a new (next) lock. This patch prints the shortest path from the next lock to be acquired to the previous held lock if a circle is found. The patch still uses the current method to check circle, and once the circle is found, breadth-first search algorithem is used to compute the shortest path from the next lock to the previous lock in the forward lock dependency graph. Printing the shortest path will shorten the dependency chain, and make troubleshooting for possible circular locking easier.

* lockdep: annotate reclaim context (__GFP_NOFS)Nick Piggin2009-02-141-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here is another version, with the incremental patch rolled up, and added reclaim context annotation to kswapd, and allocation tracing to slab allocators (which may only ever reach the page allocator in rare cases, so it is good to put annotations here too). Haven't tested this version as such, but it should be getting closer to merge worthy ;) -- After noticing some code in mm/filemap.c accidentally perform a __GFP_FS allocation when it should not have been, I thought it might be a good idea to try to catch this kind of thing with lockdep. I coded up a little idea that seems to work. Unfortunately the system has to actually be in __GFP_FS page reclaim, then take the lock, before it will mark it. But at least that might still be some orders of magnitude more common (and more debuggable) than an actual deadlock condition, so we have some improvement I hope (the concept is no less complete than discovery of a lock's interrupt contexts). I guess we could even do the same thing with __GFP_IO (normal reclaim), and even GFP_NOIO locks too... but filesystems will have the most locks and fiddly code paths, so let's start there and see how it goes. It *seems* to work.

* lockdep: fix combinatorial explosion in lock subgraph traversalDavid Miller2008-07-311-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we traverse the graph, either forwards or backwards, we are interested in whether a certain property exists somewhere in a node reachable in the graph. Therefore it is never necessary to traverse through a node more than once to get a correct answer to the given query. Take advantage of this property using a global ID counter so that we need not clear all the markers in all the lock_class entries before doing a traversal. A new ID is choosen when we start to traverse, and we continue through a lock_class only if it's ID hasn't been marked with the new value yet. This short-circuiting is essential especially for high CPU count systems. The scheduler has a runqueue per cpu, and needs to take two runqueue locks at a time, which leads to long chains of backwards and forwards subgraphs from these runqueue lock nodes. Without the short-circuit implemented here, a graph traversal on a runqueue lock can take up to (1 << (N - 1)) checks on a system with N cpus. For anything more than 16 cpus or so, lockdep will eventually bring the machine to a complete standstill. Signed-off-by: David S.

* [PATCH] lockdep: coreIngo Molnar2006-07-031-0/+78
Do 'make oldconfig' and accept all the defaults for new config options - reboot into the kernel and if everything goes well it should boot up fine and you should have /proc/lockdep and /proc/lockdep_stats files. Typically if the lock validator finds some problem it will print out voluminous debug output that begins with "BUG: ..." and which syslog output can be used by kernel developers to figure out the precise locking scenario. What does the lock validator do? It "observes" and maps all locking rules as they occur dynamically (as triggered by the kernel's natural use of spinlocks, rwlocks, mutexes and rwsems). Whenever the lock validator subsystem detects a new locking scenario, it validates this new rule against the existing set of rules. If this new rule is consistent with the existing set of rules then the new rule is added transparently and the kernel continues as normal. If the new rule could create a deadlock scenario then this condition is printed out. When determining validity of locking, all possible "deadlock scenarios" are considered: assuming arbitrary number of CPUs, arbitrary irq context and task context constellations, running arbitrary combinations of all the existing locking scenarios. In a typical system this means millions of separate scenarios. This is why we call it a "locking correctness" validator - for all rules that are observed the lock validator proves it with mathematical certainty that a deadlock could not occur (assuming that the lock validator implementation itself is correct and its internal data structures are not corrupted by some other kernel subsystem). [see more details and conditionals of this statement in include/linux/lockdep.h and Documentation/lockdep-design.txt] Furthermore, this "all possible scenarios" property of the validator also enables the finding of complex, highly unlikely multi-CPU multi-context races via single single-context rules, increasing the likelyhood of finding bugs drastically. In practical terms: the lock validator already found a bug in the upstream kernel that could only occur on systems with 3 or more CPUs, and which needed 3 very unlikely code sequences to occur at once on the 3 CPUs. That bug was found and reported on a single-CPU system (!). So in essence a race will be found "piecemail-wise", triggering all the necessary components for the race, without having to reproduce the race scenario itself! In its short existence the lock validator found and reported many bugs before they actually caused a real deadlock. To further increase the efficiency of the validator, the mapping is not per "lock instance", but per "lock-class". For example, all struct inode objects in the kernel have inode->inotify_mutex. If there are 10,000 inodes cached, then there are 10,000 lock objects. But ->inotify_mutex is a single "lock type", and all locking activities that occur against ->inotify_mutex are "unified" into this single lock-class. The advantage of the lock-class approach is that all historical ->inotify_mutex uses are mapped into a single (and as narrow as possible) set of locking rules - regardless of how many different tasks or inode structures it took to build this set of rules. The set of rules persist during the lifetime of the kernel. To see the rough magnitude of checking that the lock validator does, here's a portion of /proc/lockdep_stats, fresh after bootup: lock-classes: 694 [max: 2048] direct dependencies: 1598 [max: 8192] indirect dependencies: 17896 all direct dependencies: 16206 dependency chains: 1910 [max: 8192] in-hardirq chains: 17 in-softirq chains: 105 in-process chains: 1065 stack-trace entries: 38761 [max: 131072] combined max dependencies: 2033928 hardirq-safe locks: 24 hardirq-unsafe locks: 176 softirq-safe locks: 53 softirq-unsafe locks: 137 irq-safe locks: 59 irq-unsafe locks: 176 The lock validator has observed 1598 actual single-thread locking patterns, and has validated all possible 2033928 distinct locking scenarios.
