Dmitry noted that the new atomic_try_cmpxchg() primitive is broken when
the old pointer doesn't point to the local stack.
He writes:
"Consider a classical lock-free stack push:
node->next = atomic_read(&head);
do {
} while (!atomic_try_cmpxchg(&head, &node->next, node));
This code is broken with the current implementation, the problem is
with unconditional update of *__po.
In case of success it writes the same value back into *__po, but in
case of cmpxchg success we might have lose ownership of some memory
locations and potentially over what __po has pointed to. The same
holds for the re-read of *__po. "
He also points out that this makes it surprisingly different from the
similar C/C++ atomic operation.
After investigating the code-gen differences caused by this patch; and
a number of alternatives (Linus dislikes this interface lots), we
arrived at these results (size x86_64-defconfig/vmlinux):
GCC-6.3.0:
10735757 cmpxchg
10726413 try_cmpxchg
10730509 try_cmpxchg + patch
10730445 try_cmpxchg-linus
GCC-7 (20170327):
10709514 cmpxchg
10704266 try_cmpxchg
10704266 try_cmpxchg + patch
10704394 try_cmpxchg-linus
From this we see that the patch has the advantage of better code-gen
on GCC-7 and keeps the interface roughly consistent with the C
language variant.

Add a new cmpxchg interface:
bool try_cmpxchg(u{8,16,32,64} *ptr, u{8,16,32,64} *val, u{8,16,32,64} new);
Where the boolean returns the result of the compare; and thus if the
exchange happened; and in case of failure, the new value of *ptr is
returned in *val.
This allows simplification/improvement of loops like:
for (;;) {
new = val $op $imm;
old = cmpxchg(ptr, val, new);
if (old == val)
break;
val = old;
}
into:
do {
} while (!try_cmpxchg(ptr, &val, val $op $imm));
while also generating better code (GCC6 and onwards).

We should only expand the atomic64 relaxed bits once we've included
all relevant headers. So move it down until after we potentially
include asm-generic/atomic64.h.
In practise this will not have made a difference so far, since the
generic bits will not define _relaxed versions.

This patch functionally reverts:
5fd7a09cfb ("atomic: Export fetch_or()")
During the merge Linus observed that the generic version of fetch_or()
was messy:
" This makes the ugly "fetch_or()" macro that the scheduler used
internally a new generic helper, and does a bad job at it. "
e23604edac Merge branch 'timers-nohz-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Now that we have introduced atomic_fetch_or(), fetch_or() is only used
by the scheduler in order to deal with thread_info flags which type
can vary across architectures.
Lets confine fetch_or() back to the scheduler so that we encourage
future users to use the more robust and well typed atomic_t version
instead.
While at it, fetch_or() gets robustified, pasting improvements from a
previous patch by Ingo Molnar that avoids needless expression
re-evaluations in the loop.

This is deemed to replace the type generic fetch_or() which brings a lot
of issues such as macro induced block variable aliasing and sloppy types.
Not to mention fetch_or() doesn't refer to any namespace, adding even
more confusion.
So lets provide an atomic_t version. Current and next users of fetch_or()
are thus encouraged to use atomic_t.

This seems to be a mis-reading of how alpha memory ordering works, and
is not backed up by the alpha architecture manual. The helper functions
don't do anything special on any other architectures, and the arguments
that support them being safe on other architectures also argue that they
are safe on alpha.
Basically, the "control dependency" is between a previous read and a
subsequent write that is dependent on the value read. Even if the
subsequent write is actually done speculatively, there is no way that
such a speculative write could be made visible to other cpu's until it
has been committed, which requires validating the speculation.
Note that most weakely ordered architectures (very much including alpha)
do not guarantee any ordering relationship between two loads that depend
on each other on a control dependency:
read A
if (val == 1)
read B
because the conditional may be predicted, and the "read B" may be
speculatively moved up to before reading the value A. So we require the
user to insert a smp_rmb() between the two accesses to be correct:
read A;
if (A == 1)
smp_rmb()
read B
Alpha is further special in that it can break that ordering even if the
*address* of B depends on the read of A, because the cacheline that is
read later may be stale unless you have a memory barrier in between the
pointer read and the read of the value behind a pointer:
read ptr
read offset(ptr)
whereas all other weakly ordered architectures guarantee that the data
dependency (as opposed to just a control dependency) will order the two
accesses. As a result, alpha needs a "smp_read_barrier_depends()" in
between those two reads for them to be ordered.
The coontrol dependency that "READ_ONCE_CTRL()" and "atomic_read_ctrl()"
had was a control dependency to a subsequent *write*, however, and
nobody can finalize such a subsequent write without having actually done
the read. And were you to write such a value to a "stale" cacheline
(the way the unordered reads came to be), that would seem to lose the
write entirely.
So the things that make alpha able to re-order reads even more
aggressively than other weak architectures do not seem to be relevant
for a subsequent write. Alpha memory ordering may be strange, but
there's no real indication that it is *that* strange.
Also, the alpha architecture reference manual very explicitly talks
about the definition of "Dependence Constraints" in section 5.6.1.7,
where a preceding read dominates a subsequent write.
Such a dependence constraint admittedly does not impose a BEFORE (alpha
architecture term for globally visible ordering), but it does guarantee
that there can be no "causal loop". I don't see how you could avoid
such a loop if another cpu could see the stored value and then impact
the value of the first read. Put another way: the read and the write
could not be seen as being out of order wrt other cpus.
So I do not see how these "x_ctrl()" functions can currently be necessary.
I may have to eat my words at some point, but in the absense of clear
proof that alpha actually needs this, or indeed even an explanation of
how alpha could _possibly_ need it, I do not believe these functions are
called for.
And if it turns out that alpha really _does_ need a barrier for this
case, that barrier still should not be "smp_read_barrier_depends()".
We'd have to make up some new speciality barrier just for alpha, along
with the documentation for why it really is necessary.

Whilst porting the generic qrwlock code over to arm64, it became
apparent that any portable locking code needs finer-grained control of
the memory-ordering guarantees provided by our atomic routines.
In particular: xchg, cmpxchg, {add,sub}_return are often used in
situations where full barrier semantics (currently the only option
available) are not required. For example, when a reader increments a
reader count to obtain a lock, checking the old value to see if a writer
was present, only acquire semantics are strictly needed.
This patch introduces three new ordering semantics for these operations:
- *_relaxed: No ordering guarantees. This is similar to what we have
already for the non-return atomics (e.g. atomic_add).
- *_acquire: ACQUIRE semantics, similar to smp_load_acquire.
- *_release: RELEASE semantics, similar to smp_store_release.
In memory-ordering speak, this means that the acquire/release semantics
are RCpc as opposed to RCsc. Consequently a RELEASE followed by an
ACQUIRE does not imply a full barrier, as already documented in
memory-barriers.txt.
Currently, all the new macros are conditionally mapped to the full-mb
variants, however if the *_relaxed version is provided by the
architecture, then the acquire/release variants are constructed by
supplementing the relaxed routine with an explicit barrier.

Since the smp_mb__{before,after}*() ops are fundamentally dependent on
how an arch can implement atomics it doesn't make sense to have 3
variants of them. They must all be the same.
Furthermore, the 3 variants suggest they're only valid for those 3
atomic ops, while we have many more where they could be applied.
So move away from
smp_mb__{before,after}_{atomic,clear}_{dec,inc,bit}() and reduce the
interface to just the two: smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic().
This patch prepares the way by introducing default implementations in
asm-generic/barrier.h that default to a full barrier and providing
__deprecated inlines for the previous 6 barriers if they're not
provided by the arch.
This should allow for a mostly painless transition (lots of deprecated
warns in the interim).

The x86 implementation of atomic_dec_if_positive is quite generic, so make
it available to all architectures.
This is needed for "swap: add a simple detector for inappropriate swapin
readahead".

After changing all consumers of atomics to include <linux/atomic.h>, we
ran into some compile time errors due to this dependency chain:
linux/atomic.h
-> asm/atomic.h
-> asm-generic/atomic-long.h
where atomic-long.h could use funcs defined later in linux/atomic.h
without a prototype. This patches moves the code that includes
asm-generic/atomic*.h to linux/atomic.h.
Archs that need <asm-generic/atomic64.h> need to select
CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64 from now on (some of them used to include it
unconditionally).
Compile tested on i386 and x86_64 with allnoconfig.

Followup of perf tools session in Netfilter WorkShop 2010
In the network stack we make high usage of atomic_inc_not_zero() in
contexts we know the probable value of atomic before increment (2 for udp
sockets for example)
Using a special version of atomic_inc_not_zero() giving this hint can help
processor to use less bus transactions.
On x86 (MESI protocol) for example, this avoids entering Shared state,
because "lock cmpxchg" issues an RFO (Read For Ownership)
akpm: Adds a new include/linux/atomic.h. This means that new code should
henceforth include linux/atomic.h and not asm/atomic.h. The presence of
include/linux/atomic.h will in fact cause checkpatch.pl to warn about use
of asm/atomic.h. The new include/linux/atomic.h becomes the place where
arch-neutral atomic_t code should be placed.
