Sven reported that commit a21ee6055c30 ("lockdep: Change
hardirq{s_enabled,_context} to per-cpu variables") caused trouble on
s390 because their this_cpu_*() primitives disable preemption which
then lands back tracing.

On the one hand, per-cpu ops should use preempt_*able_notrace() and
raw_local_irq_*(), on the other hand, we can trivialy use raw_cpu_*()
ops for this.

<title>locking/seqlock, headers: Untangle the spaghetti monster</title>

By using lockdep_assert_*() from seqlock.h, the spaghetti monster
attacked.

Attack back by reducing seqlock.h dependencies from two key high level headers:

 - &lt;linux/seqlock.h&gt;:               -Remove &lt;linux/ww_mutex.h&gt;
 - &lt;linux/time.h&gt;:                  -Remove &lt;linux/seqlock.h&gt;
 - &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;:                 +Add    &lt;linux/seqlock.h&gt;

The price was to add it to sched.h ...

Core header fallout, we add direct header dependencies instead of gaining them
parasitically from higher level headers:

 - &lt;linux/dynamic_queue_limits.h&gt;:  +Add &lt;asm/bug.h&gt;
 - &lt;linux/hrtimer.h&gt;:               +Add &lt;linux/seqlock.h&gt;
 - &lt;linux/ktime.h&gt;:                 +Add &lt;asm/bug.h&gt;
 - &lt;linux/lockdep.h&gt;:               +Add &lt;linux/smp.h&gt;
 - &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;:                 +Add &lt;linux/seqlock.h&gt;
 - &lt;linux/videodev2.h&gt;:             +Add &lt;linux/kernel.h&gt;

Arch headers fallout:

 - PARISC: &lt;asm/timex.h&gt;:           +Add &lt;asm/special_insns.h&gt;
 - SH:     &lt;asm/io.h&gt;:              +Add &lt;asm/page.h&gt;
 - SPARC:  &lt;asm/timer_64.h&gt;:        +Add &lt;uapi/asm/asi.h&gt;
 - SPARC:  &lt;asm/vvar.h&gt;:            +Add &lt;asm/processor.h&gt;, &lt;asm/barrier.h&gt;
                                    -Remove &lt;linux/seqlock.h&gt;
 - X86:    &lt;asm/fixmap.h&gt;:          +Add &lt;asm/pgtable_types.h&gt;
                                    -Remove &lt;asm/acpi.h&gt;

There's also a bunch of parasitic header dependency fallout in .c files, not listed
separately.

[ mingo: Extended the changelog, split up &amp; fixed the original patch. ]

<title>lockdep: Add preemption enabled/disabled assertion APIs</title>

Asserting that preemption is enabled or disabled is a critical sanity
check.  Developers are usually reluctant to add such a check in a
fastpath as reading the preemption count can be costly.

Extend the lockdep API with macros asserting that preemption is disabled
or enabled. If lockdep is disabled, or if the underlying architecture
does not support kernel preemption, this assert has no runtime overhead.

<title>lockdep: Move list.h inclusion into lockdep.h</title>

Currently lockdep_types.h includes list.h without actually using any
of its macros or functions.  All it needs are the type definitions
which were moved into types.h long ago.  This potentially causes
inclusion loops because both are included by many core header
files.

This patch moves the list.h inclusion into lockdep.h.  Note that
we could probably remove it completely but that could potentially
result in compile failures should any end users not include list.h
directly and also be unlucky enough to not get list.h via some other
header file.

Currently all IRQ-tracking state is in task_struct, this means that
task_struct needs to be defined before we use it.

Especially for lockdep_assert_irq*() this can lead to header-hell.

Move the hardirq state into per-cpu variables to avoid the task_struct
dependency.

There is a header file inclusion loop between asm-generic/bug.h
and linux/kernel.h.  This causes potential compile failurs depending
on the which file is included first.  One way of breaking this loop
is to stop spinlock_types.h from including lockdep.h.  This patch
splits lockdep.h into two files for this purpose.

The warning was intended to spot complete_all() users from hardirq
context on PREEMPT_RT. The warning as-is will also trigger in interrupt
handlers, which are threaded on PREEMPT_RT, which was not intended.

Use lockdep_assert_RT_in_threaded_ctx() which triggers in non-preemptive
context on PREEMPT_RT.

The warning was intended to spot complete_all() users from hardirq
context on PREEMPT_RT. The warning as-is will also trigger in interrupt
handlers, which are threaded on PREEMPT_RT, which was not intended.

Use lockdep_assert_RT_in_threaded_ctx() which triggers in non-preemptive
context on PREEMPT_RT.

Fixes: a5c6234e1028 ("completion: Use simple wait queues")

Extend lockdep to validate lock wait-type context.

The current wait-types are:

	LD_WAIT_FREE,		/* wait free, rcu etc.. */
	LD_WAIT_SPIN,		/* spin loops, raw_spinlock_t etc.. */
	LD_WAIT_CONFIG,		/* CONFIG_PREEMPT_LOCK, spinlock_t etc.. */
	LD_WAIT_SLEEP,		/* sleeping locks, mutex_t etc.. */

Where lockdep validates that the current lock (the one being acquired)
fits in the current wait-context (as generated by the held stack).

This ensures that there is no attempt to acquire mutexes while holding
spinlocks, to acquire spinlocks while holding raw_spinlocks and so on. In
other words, its a more fancy might_sleep().

Obviously RCU made the entire ordeal more complex than a simple single
value test because RCU can be acquired in (pretty much) any context and
while it presents a context to nested locks it is not the same as it
got acquired in.

Therefore its necessary to split the wait_type into two values, one
representing the acquire (outer) and one representing the nested context
(inner). For most 'normal' locks these two are the same.

[ To make static initialization easier we have the rule that:
  .outer == INV means .outer == .inner; because INV == 0. ]

It further means that its required to find the minimal .inner of the held
stack to compare against the outer of the new lock; because while 'normal'
RCU presents a CONFIG type to nested locks, if it is taken while already
holding a SPIN type it obviously doesn't relax the rules.

Below is an example output generated by the trivial test code:

  raw_spin_lock(&amp;foo);
  spin_lock(&amp;bar);
  spin_unlock(&amp;bar);
  raw_spin_unlock(&amp;foo);

 [ BUG: Invalid wait context ]
 -----------------------------
 swapper/0/1 is trying to lock:
 ffffc90000013f20 (&amp;bar){....}-{3:3}, at: kernel_init+0xdb/0x187
 other info that might help us debug this:
 1 lock held by swapper/0/1:
  #0: ffffc90000013ee0 (&amp;foo){+.+.}-{2:2}, at: kernel_init+0xd1/0x187

The way to read it is to look at the new -{n,m} part in the lock
description; -{3:3} for the attempted lock, and try and match that up to
the held locks, which in this case is the one: -{2,2}.

This tells that the acquiring lock requires a more relaxed environment than
presented by the lock stack.

Currently only the normal locks and RCU are converted, the rest of the
lockdep users defaults to .inner = INV which is ignored. More conversions
can be done when desired.

The check for spinlock_t nesting is not enabled by default. It's a separate
config option for now as there are known problems which are currently
addressed. The config option allows to identify these problems and to
verify that the solutions found are indeed solving them.

The config switch will be removed and the checks will permanently enabled
once the vast majority of issues has been addressed.
