Reader optimistic spinning is helpful when the reader critical section
is short and there aren't that many readers around. It also improves
the chance that a reader can get the lock as writer optimistic spinning
disproportionally favors writers much more than readers.
Since commit d3681e269f ("locking/rwsem: Wake up almost all readers
in wait queue"), all the waiting readers are woken up so that they can
all get the read lock and run in parallel. When the number of contending
readers is large, allowing reader optimistic spinning will likely cause
reader fragmentation where multiple smaller groups of readers can get
the read lock in a sequential manner separated by writers. That reduces
reader parallelism.
One possible way to address that drawback is to limit the number of
readers (preferably one) that can do optimistic spinning. These readers
act as representatives of all the waiting readers in the wait queue as
they will wake up all those waiting readers once they get the lock.
Alternatively, as reader optimistic lock stealing has already enhanced
fairness to readers, it may be easier to just remove reader optimistic
spinning and simplifying the optimistic spinning code as a result.
Performance measurements (locking throughput kops/s) using a locking
microbenchmark with 50/50 reader/writer distribution and turbo-boost
disabled was done on a 2-socket Cascade Lake system (48-core 96-thread)
to see the impacts of these changes:
1) Vanilla - 5.10-rc3 kernel
2) Before - 5.10-rc3 kernel with previous patches in this series
2) limit-rspin - 5.10-rc3 kernel with limited reader spinning patch
3) no-rspin - 5.10-rc3 kernel with reader spinning disabled

The column "CS Load" represents the number of pause instructions issued
in the locking critical section. A CS load of 1 is extremely short and
is not likey in real situations. A load of 20 (moderate) and 100 (long)
are more realistic.
It can be seen that the previous patches in this series have reduced
performance in general except in highly contended cases with moderate
or long critical sections that performance improves a bit. This change
is mostly caused by the "Prevent potential lock starvation" patch that
reduce reader optimistic spinning and hence reduce reader fragmentation.
The patch that further limit reader optimistic spinning doesn't seem to
have too much impact on overall performance as shown in the benchmark
data.
The patch that disables reader optimistic spinning shows reduced
performance at lightly loaded cases, but comparable or slightly better
performance on with heavier contention.
This patch just removes reader optimistic spinning for now. As readers
are not going to do optimistic spinning anymore, we don't need to
consider if the OSQ is empty or not when doing lock stealing.

If the optimistic spinning queue is empty and the rwsem does not have
the handoff or write-lock bits set, it is actually not necessary to
call rwsem_optimistic_spin() to spin on it. Instead, it can steal the
lock directly as its reader bias is in the count already. If it is
the first reader in this state, it will try to wake up other readers
in the wait queue.
With this patch applied, the following were the lock event counts
after rebooting a 2-socket system and a "make -j96" kernel rebuild.
rwsem_opt_rlock=4437
rwsem_rlock=29
rwsem_rlock_steal=19
So lock stealing represents about 0.4% of all the read locks acquired
in the slow path.

The lock handoff bit is added in commit 4f23dbc1e6 ("locking/rwsem:
Implement lock handoff to prevent lock starvation") to avoid lock
starvation. However, allowing readers to do optimistic spinning does
introduce an unlikely scenario where lock starvation can happen.
The lock handoff bit may only be set when a waiter is being woken up.
In the case of reader unlock, wakeup happens only when the reader count
reaches 0. If there is a continuous stream of incoming readers acquiring
read lock via optimistic spinning, it is possible that the reader count
may never reach 0 and so the handoff bit will never be asserted.
One way to prevent this scenario from happening is to disallow optimistic
spinning if the rwsem is currently owned by readers. If the previous
or current owner is a writer, optimistic spinning will be allowed.
If the previous owner is a reader but the reader count has reached 0
before, a wakeup should have been issued. So the handoff mechanism
will be kicked in to prevent lock starvation. As a result, it should
be OK to do optimistic spinning in this case.
This patch may have some impact on reader performance as it reduces
reader optimistic spinning especially if the lock critical sections
are short the number of contending readers are small.

The cause of the problem is we have call chain lockdep_unregister_key()

Although this particular warning is triggered because Hyper-V has a

another function having a trace point in it, so put the arch_spin_lock()
and arch_spin_unlock() after lock_recursion protection to fix this
problem and avoid similiar problems.

Chris Wilson reported a problem spotted by check_chain_key(): a chain
key got changed in validate_chain() because we modify the ->read in
validate_chain() to skip checks for dependency adding, and ->read is
taken into calculation for chain key since commit f611e8cf98
("lockdep: Take read/write status in consideration when generate
chainkey").
Fix this by avoiding to modify ->read in validate_chain() based on two
facts: a) since we now support recursive read lock detection, there is
no need to skip checks for dependency adding for recursive readers, b)
since we have a), there is only one case left (nest_lock) where we want
to skip checks in validate_chain(), we simply remove the modification
for ->read and rely on the return value of check_deadlock() to skip the
dependency adding.

This commit avoids tis problem by adding an exit hook in lock_torture_ops
and using it to call percpu_free_rwsem() for percpu rwsem torture during
the module-cleanup function, thus ensuring that rcu_sync_func() completes
before module exits.
It is also necessary to call the exit hook if lock_torture_init()
fails half-way, so this commit also adds an ->init_called field in
lock_torture_cxt to indicate that exit hook, if present, must be called.

If an locktorture torture-test run is given a bad kvm.sh argument, the
test will complain to the console, which is good. What is bad is that
from the user's perspective, it will just hang for the time specified
by the --duration argument. This commit therefore forces an immediate
kernel shutdown if a lock_torture_init()-time error occurs, thus avoiding
the appearance of a hang. It also forces a console splat in this case
to clearly indicate the presence of an error.

I initially thought raw_cpu_read() was OK, since if it is !0 we have
IRQs disabled and can't get migrated, so if we get migrated both CPUs
must have 0 and it doesn't matter which 0 we read.
And while that is true; it isn't the whole store, on pretty much all
architectures (except x86) this can result in computing the address for
one CPU, getting migrated, the old CPU continuing execution with another
task (possibly setting recursion) and then the new CPU reading the value
of the old CPU, which is no longer 0.

It is valid (albeit uncommon) to call local_irq_enable() without first
having called local_irq_disable(). In this case we enter
lockdep_hardirqs_on*() with IRQs enabled and trip a preemption warning
for using __this_cpu_read().
Use this_cpu_read() instead to avoid the warning.
