2021-07-16	locking/atomic: remove ARCH_ATOMIC remanants	Mark Rutland	1	-3/+3
	Now that gen-atomic-fallback.sh is only used to generate the arch_* fallbacks, we don't need to also generate the non-arch_* forms, and can removethe infrastructure this needed. There is no change to any of the generated headers as a result of this patch.

2020-06-11	locking/atomics: Flip fallbacks and instrumentation	Peter Zijlstra	1	-3/+3
	Currently instrumentation of atomic primitives is done at the architecture level, while composites or fallbacks are provided at the generic level. The result is that there are no uninstrumented variants of the fallbacks. Since there is now need of such variants to isolate text poke from any form of instrumentation invert this ordering. Doing this means moving the instrumentation into the generic code as well as having (for now) two variants of the fallbacks. Notes: - the various cond_read primitives are not proper fallbacks and got moved into linux/atomic.c. No arch_ variants are generated because the base primitives smp_cond_load() are instrumented. - once all architectures are moved over to arch_atomic_ one of the fallback variants can be removed and some 2300 lines reclaimed. - atomic_{read,set}() are no longer double-instrumented Reported-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200505134058.769149955@linutronix.de
2020-06-11	asm-generic/atomic: Use __always_inline for fallback wrappers	Marco Elver	1	-1/+1
	Use __always_inline for atomic fallback wrappers. When building for size (CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE), some compilers appear to be less inclined to inline even relatively small static inline functions that are assumed to be inlinable such as atomic ops. This can cause problems, for example in UACCESS regions. While the fallback wrappers aren't pure wrappers, they are trivial nonetheless, and the function they wrap should determine the final inlining policy.

2018-11-01	locking/atomics: Add common header generation files	Mark Rutland	1	-0/+14
	To minimize repetition, to allow for future rework, and to ensure regularity of the various atomic APIs, we'd like to automatically generate (the bulk of) a number of headers related to atomics. This patch adds the infrastructure to do so, leaving actual conversion of headers to subsequent patches. This infrastructure consists of: * atomics.tbl - a table describing the functions in the atomics API, with names, prototypes, and metadata describing the variants that exist (e.g fetch/return, acquire/release/relaxed). Note that the return type is dependent on the particular variant. * atomic-tbl.sh - a library of routines useful for dealing with atomics.tbl (e.g. querying which variants exist, or generating argument/parameter lists for a given function variant). * gen-atomic-fallback.sh - a script which generates a header of fallbacks, covering cases where architecture omit certain functions (e.g. omitting relaxed variants). * gen-atomic-long.sh - a script which generates wrappers providing the atomic_long API atomic of the relevant atomic or atomic64 API, ensuring the APIs are consistent. * gen-atomic-instrumented.sh - a script which generates atomic* wrappers atop of arch_atomic* functions, with automatically generated KASAN instrumentation. * fallbacks/* - a set of fallback implementations for atomics, which should be used when no implementation of a given atomic is provided. These are used by gen-atomic-fallback.sh to generate fallbacks, and these are also used by other scripts to determine the set of optional atomics (as required to generate preprocessor guards correctly). Fallbacks may use the following variables: ${atomic} atomic prefix: atomic/atomic64/atomic_long, which can be used to derive the atomic type, and to prefix functions ${int} integer type: int/s64/long ${pfx} variant prefix, e.g. fetch_ ${name} base function name, e.g. add ${sfx} variant suffix, e.g. _return ${order} order suffix, e.g. _relaxed ${atomicname} full name, e.g. atomic64_fetch_add_relaxed ${ret} return type of the function, e.g. void ${retstmt} a return statement (with a trailing space), unless the variant returns void ${params} parameter list for the function declaration, e.g. "int i, atomic_t *v" ${args} argument list for invoking the function, e.g. "i, v" ... for clarity, ${ret}, ${retstmt}, ${params}, and ${args} are open-coded for fallbacks where these do not vary, or are critical to understanding the logic of the fallback. The MAINTAINERS entry for the atomic infrastructure is updated to cover the new scripts. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
