[PATCH 0/9] tools: Make {clear,set}_bit() atomic for reals

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



For obvious reasons I'd like to route the this through Paolo's tree.
In theory, taking just patch 5 through tip would work, but creating a
topic branch seems like the way to go, though maybe I'm being overly
paranoid.  The current tip/perf/core doesn't have any conflicts, nor does
it have new set_bit() or clear_bit() users.

 
Code sitting in kvm/queue for 6.2 adds functionality that relies on
clear_bit() being an atomic operation.  Unfortunately, despite being
implemented in atomic.h (among other strong hits that they should be
atomic), clear_bit() and set_bit() aren't actually atomic (and of course
I realized this _just_ after everything got queued up).

Move current tools/ users of clear_bit() and set_bit() to the
double-underscore versions (which tools/ already provides and documents
as being non-atomic), and then implement clear_bit() and set_bit() as
actual atomics to fix the KVM selftests bug.

Perf and KVM are the only affected users.  NVDIMM also has test code
in tools/, but that builds against the kernel proper.  The KVM code is
well tested and fully audited.  The perf code is lightly tested; if I
understand the build system, it's probably not even fully compile tested.

Patches 1 and 2 are completely unrelated and are fixes for patches
sitting in kvm/queue.  Paolo, they can be squashed if you want to rewrite
history.

Patch 3 fixes a hilarious collision in a KVM ARM selftest that will arise
when clear_bit() is converted to an atomic.

Patch 4 changes clear_bit() and set_bit() to take an "unsigned long"
instead of an "int" so that patches 5-6 aren't accompanied by functional
changes.  I.e. if something in perf is somehow relying on "bit" being a
signed int, failures will bisect to patch 4 and not to the
supposed-to-be-a-nop conversion to __clear_bit() and __set_bit().

Patch 5-9 switch perf+KVM and complete the conversion.
