[PATCHv4 00/12] atomics: generate atomic headers / instrument arm64

From: Mark Rutland
Date: Mon Jul 16 2018 - 07:30:34 EST


Hi Ingo,

Are you happy to pick this series? Both Will and Peter are happy with v3, and
since then I've only made a minor cleanup to the commit messages for patches
8-10 (as requested by Peter), and added Will's Acked-by tags.

This series scripts the generation of the various atomic headers, to ensure
that the various atomic APIs remain consistent, reducing the risk of human
error, and simplifying future rework. This fleshes out the instrumented atomics
such that arm64 can be migrated over to them.

Since v1 [1]:
* Use 'p' instead of 'I' for pointer to base int type
* Use Peter's patch for ldsem
* Rename atomic acquire/release barriers
* Handle xchg/cmpxchg variants
* Typo fixes
* Migrate arm64 to instrumented atomics

Since v2 [2]:
* Drop undefs for __atomic_*_fence()
* Rename __atomic_{pre,post}_fence => __atomic_{pre,post}_full_fence()
* Restore atomic_long_cond_read_relaxed()
* Add Kbuild step to verify atomic headers are up-to-date
* Rework arm64 atomic naming
* Commit message cleanups
* Accumulate acks

Since v3 [3]:
* Add Will's Acked-by tags
* Clean up rationale for patches 8-10 given we check at kbuild time

The series is based on my atomic API cleanup patches [4], which have been
queued in the tip locking/core branch.

The first six patches clean up some issues with the existing atomic
instrumentation, with patch six introducing the header generation
infrastructure. The subsequent three patches migrate to each generated header
in turn, with the final patch moving arm64 over to the instrumented atomics.

The scripts themselves are mostly POSIX sh (modulo local), without bashisms,
and work in dash and bash.

Per Linus request that it is possible to use git grep to inspect the atomic
headers [3], the headers are committed (and not generated by kbuild). Since we
now expand the fallback definitions inline, each *should* be easier to find
with grep. Each header also has a comment at the top with a path to the script
used to generate it.

That scripting comes to ~900 lines, and replaces ~1700 lines of hand-written
boilerplate with ~4700 lines of generated code. Some of that increase in line
count is due to filling in missing portions of the API (e.g. adding all the
ordering variants to the instrumented atomics), while some of that is due to
expanding fallbacks in place, and consistently spreading these across multiple
lines.

I've build-tested this for x86_64 and arm64 (with and without LSE), and given
this some basic boot testing on an Arm Juno platform.

I've pushed the series out to my atomics/generated branch [5], based atop of
tip locking/core.

Thanks,
Mark.
