asm-generic: introduce text-patching.h

Several architectures support text patching, but they name the header
files that declare patching functions differently.

Make all such headers consistently named text-patching.h and add an empty
header in asm-generic for architectures that do not support text patching.

asm-generic: make more kernel-space headers mandatory

Change a header to mandatory-y if both of the following are met:

[1] At least one architecture (except um) specifies it as generic-y in
arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild

[2] Every architecture (except um) either has its own implementation
(arch/*/include/asm/*.h) or specifies it as generic-y in
arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild

This commit was generated by the following shell script.

----------------------------------->8-----------------------------------

arches=$(cd arch; ls -1 | sed -e '/Kconfig/d' -e '/um/d')

tmpfile=$(mktemp)

grep "^mandatory-y +=" include/asm-generic/Kbuild > $tmpfile

find arch -path 'arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild' |
xargs sed -n 's/^generic-y += \(.*\)/\1/p' | sort -u |

done
fi

done

sed -i '/^mandatory-y +=/d' include/asm-generic/Kbuild

LANG=C sort $tmpfile >> include/asm-generic/Kbuild

----------------------------------->8-----------------------------------

One obvious benefit is the diff stat:

25 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 557 deletions(-)

It is tedious to list generic-y for each arch that needs it.

So, mandatory-y works like a fallback default (by just wrapping
asm-generic one) when arch does not have a specific header
implementation.

See the following commits:

def3f7cefe4e81c296090e1722a76551142c227c
a1b39bae16a62ce4aae02d958224f19316d98b24

It is tedious to convert headers one by one, so I processed by a shell
script.

sh/mmiowb: Add unconditional mmiowb() to arch_spin_unlock()

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 performed inside the
critical section.

locking/rwsem: Remove arch specific rwsem files

As the generic rwsem-xadd code is using the appropriate acquire and
release versions of the atomic operations, the arch specific rwsem.h
files will not be that much faster than the generic code as long as the
atomic functions are properly implemented. So we can remove those arch
specific rwsem.h and stop building asm/rwsem.h to reduce maintenance
effort.

Currently, only x86, alpha and ia64 have implemented architecture
specific fast paths. I don't have access to alpha and ia64 systems for
testing, but they are legacy systems that are not likely to be updated
to the latest kernel anyway.

By using a rwsem microbenchmark, the total locking rates on a 4-socket
56-core 112-thread x86-64 system before and after the patch were as
follows (mixed means equal # of read and write locks):

Before Patch After Patch
# of Threads wlock rlock mixed wlock rlock mixed
------------ ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----
1 29,201 30,143 29,458 28,615 30,172 29,201
2 6,807 13,299 1,171 7,725 15,025 1,804
4 6,504 12,755 1,520 7,127 14,286 1,345
8 6,762 13,412 764 6,826 13,652 726
16 6,693 15,408 662 6,599 15,938 626
32 6,145 15,286 496 5,549 15,487 511
64 5,812 15,495 60 5,858 15,572 60

There were some run-to-run variations for the multi-thread tests. For
x86-64, using the generic C code fast path seems to be a little bit
faster than the assembly version with low lock contention. Looking at
the assembly version of the fast paths, there are assembly to/from C
code wrappers that save and restore all the callee-clobbered registers
(7 registers on x86-64). The assembly generated from the generic C
code doesn't need to do that. That may explain the slight performance
gain here.

The generic asm rwsem.h can also be merged into kernel/locking/rwsem.h
with no code change as no other code other than those under
kernel/locking needs to access the internal rwsem macros and functions.

KVM: export <linux/kvm_para.h> and <asm/kvm_para.h> iif KVM is supported

KVM: export <linux/kvm_para.h> and <asm/kvm_para.h> iif KVM is supported

I do not see any consistency about headers_install of <linux/kvm_para.h>
and <asm/kvm_para.h>.

According to my analysis of Linux 5.1-rc1, there are 3 groups:

[1] Both <linux/kvm_para.h> and <asm/kvm_para.h> are exported

alpha, arm, hexagon, mips, powerpc, s390, sparc, x86

[2] <asm/kvm_para.h> is exported, but <linux/kvm_para.h> is not

arc, arm64, c6x, h8300, ia64, m68k, microblaze, nios2, openrisc,
parisc, sh, unicore32, xtensa

[3] Neither <linux/kvm_para.h> nor <asm/kvm_para.h> is exported

csky, nds32, riscv

This does not match to the actual KVM support. At least, [2] is
half-baked.

Nor do arch maintainers look like they care about this. For example,
commit 0add53713b1c ("microblaze: Add missing kvm_para.h to Kbuild")
exported <asm/kvm_para.h> to user-space in order to fix an in-kernel
build error.

We have two ways to make this consistent:

[A] export both <linux/kvm_para.h> and <asm/kvm_para.h> for all
architectures, irrespective of the KVM support

[B] Match the header export of <linux/kvm_para.h> and <asm/kvm_para.h>
to the KVM support

My first attempt was [A] because the code looks cleaner, but Paolo
suggested [B].

So, this commit goes with [B].

For most architectures, <asm/kvm_para.h> was moved to the kernel-space.
I changed include/uapi/linux/Kbuild so that it checks generated
asm/kvm_para.h as well as check-in ones.

After this commit, there will be two groups:

[1] Both <linux/kvm_para.h> and <asm/kvm_para.h> are exported

arm, arm64, mips, powerpc, s390, x86

[2] Neither <linux/kvm_para.h> nor <asm/kvm_para.h> is exported

alpha, arc, c6x, csky, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m68k, microblaze,

time: Add an asm-generic/compat.h file

We have a couple of files that try to include asm/compat.h on
architectures where this is available. Those should generally use the
higher-level linux/compat.h file, but that in turn fails to include
asm/compat.h when CONFIG_COMPAT is disabled, unless we can provide
that header on all architectures.

This adds the asm/compat.h for all remaining architectures to
simplify the dependencies.

Architectures that are getting removed in linux-4.17 are not changed
here, to avoid needless conflicts with the removal patches. Those
architectures are broken by this patch, but we have already shown
that they have no users.

As suggested by Geert Uytterhoeven, this could be cleaned through the use
of a generic header file included via each per architecture

The PowerPC architecture is not impacted here since this architecture has

locking/mcs: Order the header files in Kbuild of each architecture in alphabetical order

We perform a clean up of the Kbuid files in each architecture.
We order the files in each Kbuild in alphabetical order
by running the below script.

for i in arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild
do
cat $i | gawk '/^generic-y/ {
i = 3;
do {
for (; i <= NF; i++) {
if ($i == "\\") {
getline;
i = 1;
continue;
}
if ($i != "")
hdr[$i] = $i;
}
break;
} while (1);
next;
}
// {
print $0;
}
END {
n = asort(hdr);
for (i = 1; i <= n; i++)
print "generic-y += " hdr[i];
}' > ${i}.sorted;
mv ${i}.sorted $i;
done
