[PATCH v9 0/9] Refcounted interrupts, SpinLockIrq for rust

[PATCH v9 0/9] Refcounted interrupts, SpinLockIrq for rust

[Lyude Paul]

Before going into this series, take note that there are still
unresolved performance issues with the ref-counted *spin_lock_irq_*
functions that are unresolved - we could definitely use some assistance
with this. Details here:

https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/ZxrCrlg1XvaTtJ1I@boqun-archlinux/

It's been a while! This is the latest version of the SpinLockIrq patch
series we've been working on - now with some new refcounted interrupt
disable functions that Boqun came up with. The main changes:

* Add a SpinLockIrqGuard type alias
* Get rid of the closure interface that we were using, SpinLockIrqGuards
  are now refcounted
* Renames
* Rewrite documentation/examples to match
* Addition of local_interrupts_disable() on the rust side

On the C side of things, this patch series introduces the refcounted
spin_lock_irq_disable() and spin_unlock_irq_enable() functions - along
with the rest of the related refcounted variants for this.

The previous version of this patch series is available at:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2024/10/18/1692

The local_interrupts_disable() was suggested by Boqun, though given
tglx's comments I have mixed feelings on having this in our bindings at
all - so I'm not totally opposed to us dropping this if it's decided we
don't want it. I also was careful to make sure that the documentation
generally discourages its use, and also link back to some of the LWN
documentation regarding interrupts that was linked in the discussion
threads previously. At the moment it's at least useful for verifying the
examples we have at least :)

[PATCH v9 3/9] irq & spin_lock: Add counted interrupt disabling/enabling

[Lyude Paul]

From: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com>

Currently the nested interrupt disabling and enabling is present by
_irqsave() and _irqrestore() APIs, which are relatively unsafe, for
example:

	<interrupts are enabled as beginning>
	spin_lock_irqsave(l1, flag1);
	spin_lock_irqsave(l2, flag2);
	spin_unlock_irqrestore(l1, flags1);
	<l2 is still held but interrupts are enabled>
	// accesses to interrupt-disable protect data will cause races.

This is even easier to triggered with guard facilities:

	unsigned long flag2;

	scoped_guard(spin_lock_irqsave, l1) {
		spin_lock_irqsave(l2, flag2);
	}
	// l2 locked but interrupts are enabled.
	spin_unlock_irqrestore(l2, flag2);

(Hand-to-hand locking critical sections are not uncommon for a
fine-grained lock design)

And because this unsafety, Rust cannot easily wrap the
interrupt-disabling locks in a safe API, which complicates the design.

To resolve this, introduce a new set of interrupt disabling APIs:

*	local_interrupt_disalbe();
*	local_interrupt_enable();

They work like local_irq_save() and local_irq_restore() except that 1)
the outermost local_interrupt_disable() call save the interrupt state
into a percpu variable, so that the outermost local_interrupt_enable()
can restore the state, and 2) a percpu counter is added to record the
nest level of these calls, so that interrupts are not accidentally
enabled inside the outermost critical section.

Also add the corresponding spin_lock primitives: spin_lock_irq_disable()
and spin_unlock_irq_enable(), as a result, code as follow:

	spin_lock_irq_disable(l1);
	spin_lock_irq_disable(l2);
	spin_unlock_irq_enable(l1);
	// Interrupts are still disabled.
	spin_unlock_irq_enable(l2);

doesn't have the issue that interrupts are accidentally enabled.

This also makes the wrapper of interrupt-disabling locks on Rust easier
to design.

[PATCH v9 4/9] rust: Introduce interrupt module

[Lyude Paul]

This introduces a module for dealing with interrupt-disabled contexts,
including the ability to enable and disable interrupts along with the
ability to annotate functions as expecting that IRQs are already
disabled on the local CPU.

[Boqun: This is based on Lyude's work on interrupt disable abstraction,
I port to the new local_interrupt_disable() mechanism to make it work
as a guard type. I cannot even take the credit of this design, since
Lyude also brought up the same idea in zulip. Anyway, this is only for
POC purpose, and of course all bugs are mine]

[PATCH v9 7/9] rust: sync: Introduce lock::Backend::Context

[Lyude Paul]

Now that we've introduced an `InterruptDisabled` token for marking
contexts in which IRQs are disabled, we can have a way to avoid
`SpinLockIrq` disabling interrupts if the interrupts have already been
disabled. Basically, a `SpinLockIrq` should work like a `SpinLock` if
interrupts are disabled. So a function:

	(&'a SpinLockIrq, &'a InterruptDisabled) -> Guard<'a, .., SpinLockBackend>

makes senses. Note that due to `Guard` and `InterruptDisabled` has the
same lifetime, interrupts cannot be enabled whiel the Guard exists.

Add a `lock_with()` interface for `Lock`, and an associate type of
`Backend` to describe the context.

[Boqun: Change the interface a lot, now `SpinLockIrq` can use the
`lock()` function, but it always disable the interrupts, reuse the
`lock_with()` method to provide a way for locking if interrupts are
already disabled. `lock_with()` implementation will be added later.]

[PATCH v9 8/9] rust: sync: lock: Add `Backend::BackendInContext`

[Lyude Paul]

From: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com>

`SpinLock`'s backend can be used for `SpinLockIrq`, if the interrupts
are disabled. And it actually provides performance gains since
interrupts are not needed to be disabled anymore. So add
`Backend::BackendInContext` to describe the case where one backend can
be used for another. Use the it to implement the `lock_with()` so that
`SpinLockIrq` can avoid disabling interrupts by using `SpinLock`'s
backend.

[PATCH v9 9/9] locking: Switch to _irq_{disable,enable}() variants in cleanup guards

[Lyude Paul]

From: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com>

The semantics of various irq disabling guards match what
*_irq_{disable,enable}() provide, i.e. the interrupt disabling is
properly nested, therefore it's OK to switch to use
*_irq_{disable,enable}() primitives.

Yeah, sorry, I forget to add them or ask Lyude to add when handing over
patches.

Lyude, could you add below in the future version?


In order to support preempt_disable()-like interrupt disabling, that is,
using part of preempt_count() to track interrupt disabling nested level,  
change the preempt_count() layout to contain 8-bit HARDIRQ_DISABLE
count.

Note that HARDIRQ_BITS and NMI_BITS are reduced by 1 because of this,
and it changes the maximum of their (hardirq and nmi) nesting level.


(I will add patch #2's commit log shortly)

Regards,
Boqun

Re: [PATCH v9 2/9] preempt: Introduce __preempt_count_{sub, add}_return()

Lyude, please add something similar to below as the changelog in the
future version.

In order to use preempt_count() to tracking the interrupt disable
nesting level, __preempt_count_{add,sub}_return() are introduced, as
their name suggest, these primitives return the new value of the
preempt_count() after changing it. The following example shows the usage
of it in local_interrupt_disable():

	// increase the HARDIRQ_DISABLE bit
	new_count = __preempt_count_add_return(HARDIRQ_DISABLE_OFFSET);

	// if it's the first-time increment, then disable the interrupt
	// at hardware level.
	if (new_count & HARDIRQ_DISABLE_MASK == HARDIRQ_DISABLE_OFFSET) {
		local_irq_save(flags);
		raw_cpu_write(local_interrupt_disable_state.flags, flags);
	}

Having these primitives will avoid a read of preempt_count() after
changing preempt_count() on certain architectures.

I'm a bit scared here. This reduces the number of NMI levels from 16 to
8, and we have 5 IST gates that can nest in wonderful ways. This might
just be achievable.

Also, you should probably double check the HARDIRQ bits against all
architectures that have interrupt priority support -- Linux doesn't
really do that, local_irq_disable() is typically disable-all, but things
like PowerPC play funny games -- ideally those games are all played
before entering the common code that has the accounting on.

And I don't think we have overflow detection on the NMI/IRQ bits.

The comment with __nmi_enter() is now wrong.


Anyway, like I said before, I like the general idea, but I hate we're
growing a 3rd form.

This should just be

static __always_inline int __preempt_count_add_return(int val)
{
	return val + __atomic_add(val, &get_lowcore()->preempt_count);
}

since __atomic_add_const() won't return the original value.

Well.. at least it should not, but the way it is currently implemented it
indeed does sometimes depending on config options - there is room for
improvement. That's my fault - going to address that.

I couldn't find any cover letter for the whole patch series which describes
what this is about, and why it is needed.
It looks like some Rust enablement?

Yeah, more or less.

It's replacing local_irq_save() and all related functions
(spin_lock_irqsave etc..) that take a flags argument with this new thing
that frobs a recursion count in preempt_count(), obviating the need to
carry the local flags argument around.

This is nice, even for C code, less flags muck to carry around.

It would be even better if they then went and deleted all of the _irq /
_irqsave nonsense entirely.

Yes, that's going to be a big patch :-)

Also, IIRC there is some arch stuff that comes unstuck if you do this
blindly (I tried at some point, it didn't boot).

It would be nice to add `SpinLockIrqBackend` to `global_lock`.

The [`lock_with()`] below states "interrupt state will not be
touched". Should the [`lock()`] part above mention that the interrupt
state *is* touched, then? Like in the comment in the example below
("... e.c.lock();  // interrupts are disabled now")? For example:

... the bindings will ensure that interrupts are disabled and remain
disabled ...

?

Do you want me to add all of the other functions that we've added to Backend
(such as lock_with) as well?

FWIW: it doesn't look too difficult, the only thing that would really need to
be changed would be the `GlobalGuard` type. Normally the lifetime of the inner
Guard would always be 'static, but with a function like lock_with() we would
want the lifetime of the Guard to match the lifetime of the provided context
instead of the lock.

It seems that the `raw_spin_trylock_irq_disable` function is missing from
spinlock_rt.h, which will lead to a build failure when compiling with 
PREEMPT_RT enabled.

Sorry, my fault, I mean the `spin_trylock_irq_disable` function.

Not sure if I wrote it correctly, but you know what I mean.

BTW - was this ever fixed? Going through and applying changes to the spinlock
series to get it ready for sending out again and I don't know if I should
leave this code as-is or not here.

Well, this fix was that the atomic primitives, like used in your code, would
always fail to compile. That was address with commit 08d95a12cd28
("s390/atomic_ops: Let __atomic_add_const() variants always return void").

So yes, you need to change your code like I proposed.
