commit 495f53d5cca0f939eaed9dca90b67e7e6fb0e30c upstream.

Currently, when a lock class is allocated, nr_unused_locks will be
increased by 1, until it gets used: nr_unused_locks will be decreased by
1 in mark_lock(). However, one scenario is missed: a lock class may be
zapped without even being used once. This could result into a situation
that nr_unused_locks != 0 but no unused lock class is active in the
system, and when `cat /proc/lockdep_stats`, a WARN_ON() will
be triggered in a CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP=y kernel:

  [...] DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(debug_atomic_read(nr_unused_locks) != nr_unused)
  [...] WARNING: CPU: 41 PID: 1121 at kernel/locking/lockdep_proc.c:283 lockdep_stats_show+0xba9/0xbd0

And as a result, lockdep will be disabled after this.

Therefore, nr_unused_locks needs to be accounted correctly at
zap_class() time.

[ Upstream commit 85b2b9c16d053364e2004883140538e73b333cdb ]

A circular lock dependency splat has been seen involving down_trylock():

  ======================================================
  WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
  6.12.0-41.el10.s390x+debug
  ------------------------------------------------------
  dd/32479 is trying to acquire lock:
  0015a20accd0d4f8 ((console_sem).lock){-.-.}-{2:2}, at: down_trylock+0x26/0x90

  but task is already holding lock:
  000000017e461698 (&amp;zone-&gt;lock){-.-.}-{2:2}, at: rmqueue_bulk+0xac/0x8f0

  the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
  -&gt; #4 (&amp;zone-&gt;lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:
  -&gt; #3 (hrtimer_bases.lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:
  -&gt; #2 (&amp;rq-&gt;__lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:
  -&gt; #1 (&amp;p-&gt;pi_lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:
  -&gt; #0 ((console_sem).lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:

The console_sem -&gt; pi_lock dependency is due to calling try_to_wake_up()
while holding the console_sem raw_spinlock. This dependency can be broken
by using wake_q to do the wakeup instead of calling try_to_wake_up()
under the console_sem lock. This will also make the semaphore's
raw_spinlock become a terminal lock without taking any further locks
underneath it.

The hrtimer_bases.lock is a raw_spinlock while zone-&gt;lock is a
spinlock. The hrtimer_bases.lock -&gt; zone-&gt;lock dependency happens via
the debug_objects_fill_pool() helper function in the debugobjects code.

  -&gt; #4 (&amp;zone-&gt;lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:
         __lock_acquire+0xe86/0x1cc0
         lock_acquire.part.0+0x258/0x630

         get_page_from_freelist+0x2ee/0xeb0
         __alloc_pages_noprof+0x2c2/0x520
         alloc_pages_mpol_noprof+0x1fc/0x4d0
         alloc_pages_noprof+0x8c/0xe0
         allocate_slab+0x320/0x460
         ___slab_alloc+0xa58/0x12b0
         __slab_alloc.isra.0+0x42/0x60
         kmem_cache_alloc_noprof+0x304/0x350
         fill_pool+0xf6/0x450
         debug_object_activate+0xfe/0x360
         enqueue_hrtimer+0x34/0x190
         __run_hrtimer+0x3c8/0x4c0
         __hrtimer_run_queues+0x1b2/0x260

         do_IRQ+0x9a/0xe0
         do_irq_async+0xf6/0x160

Normally a raw_spinlock to spinlock dependency is not legitimate
and will be warned if CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING is enabled,
but debug_objects_fill_pool() is an exception as it explicitly
allows this dependency for non-PREEMPT_RT kernel without causing
PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING lockdep splat. As a result, this dependency is
legitimate and not a bug.

Anyway, semaphore is the only locking primitive left that is still
using try_to_wake_up() to do wakeup inside critical section, all the
other locking primitives had been migrated to use wake_q to do wakeup
outside of the critical section. It is also possible that there are
other circular locking dependencies involving printk/console_sem or
other existing/new semaphores lurking somewhere which may show up in
the future. Let just do the migration now to wake_q to avoid headache
like this.

Bert reported seeing occasional boot hangs when running with
PREEPT_RT and bisected it down to commit 894d1b3db41c
("locking/mutex: Remove wakeups from under mutex::wait_lock").

It looks like I missed a few spots where we drop the wait_lock and
potentially call into schedule without waking up the tasks on the
wake_q structure. Since the tasks being woken are ww_mutex tasks
they need to be able to run to release the mutex and unblock the
task that currently is planning to wake them. Thus we can deadlock.

So make sure we wake the wake_q tasks when we unlock the wait_lock.

<title>locking: rtmutex: Fix wake_q logic in task_blocks_on_rt_mutex</title>

Anders had bisected a crash using PREEMPT_RT with linux-next and
isolated it down to commit 894d1b3db41c ("locking/mutex: Remove
wakeups from under mutex::wait_lock"), where it seemed the
wake_q structure was somehow getting corrupted causing a null
pointer traversal.

I was able to easily repoduce this with PREEMPT_RT and managed
to isolate down that through various call stacks we were
actually calling wake_up_q() twice on the same wake_q.

I found that in the problematic commit, I had added the
wake_up_q() call in task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() around
__ww_mutex_add_waiter(), following a similar pattern in
__mutex_lock_common().

However, its just wrong. We haven't dropped the lock-&gt;wait_lock,
so its contrary to the point of the original patch. And it
didn't match the __mutex_lock_common() logic of re-initializing
the wake_q after calling it midway in the stack.

Looking at it now, the wake_up_q() call is incorrect and should
just be removed. So drop the erronious logic I had added.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Core facilities:

   - Add the "Lazy preemption" model (CONFIG_PREEMPT_LAZY=y), which
     optimizes fair-class preemption by delaying preemption requests to
     the tick boundary, while working as full preemption for
     RR/FIFO/DEADLINE classes. (Peter Zijlstra)
        - x86: Enable Lazy preemption (Peter Zijlstra)
        - riscv: Enable Lazy preemption (Jisheng Zhang)

   - Initialize idle tasks only once (Thomas Gleixner)

   - sched/ext: Remove sched_fork() hack (Thomas Gleixner)

  Fair scheduler:

   - Optimize the PLACE_LAG when se-&gt;vlag is zero (Huang Shijie)

     barrier (Zhongqiu Han)

   - Improve cache locality of RSEQ concurrency IDs for intermittent
     workloads (Mathieu Desnoyers)

  Waitqueues:

   - Make wake_up_{bit,var} less fragile (Neil Brown)

  PSI:

   - Pass enqueue/dequeue flags to psi callbacks directly (Johannes
     Weiner)

  Preparatory patches for proxy execution:

   - Add move_queued_task_locked helper (Connor O'Brien)

   - Consolidate pick_*_task to task_is_pushable helper (Connor O'Brien)

<title>locking/osq_lock: Use atomic_try_cmpxchg_release() in osq_unlock()</title>

Replace this pattern in osq_unlock():

    atomic_cmpxchg(*ptr, old, new) == old

... with the simpler and faster:

    atomic_try_cmpxchg(*ptr, &amp;old, new)

The x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in the ZF flag,
so this change saves a compare after the CMPXCHG.  The code
in the fast path of osq_unlock() improves from:

 11b:	31 c9                	xor    %ecx,%ecx
 11d:	8d 50 01             	lea    0x1(%rax),%edx
 120:	89 d0                	mov    %edx,%eax
 122:	f0 0f b1 0f          	lock cmpxchg %ecx,(%rdi)
 126:	39 c2                	cmp    %eax,%edx
 128:	75 05                	jne    12f &lt;...&gt;

to:

 12b:	31 d2                	xor    %edx,%edx
 12d:	83 c0 01             	add    $0x1,%eax
 130:	f0 0f b1 17          	lock cmpxchg %edx,(%rdi)
 134:	75 05                	jne    13b &lt;...&gt;

rt_mutex_slowlock_block() and rtlock_slowlock_locked() both unlock
lock::wait_lock and then lock it later. This is unusual and sparse
complains about it.

Add __releases() + __acquires() annotation to mark that it is expected.

Every lock, that becomes a sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT, starts a RCU read
side critical section. There is no sparse annotation for this and sparse
complains about unbalanced locking.

Add __acquires/ __releases for the RCU lock. This covers all but the
trylock functions. A __cond_acquires() annotation didn't work.
