Markus reported that the glibc/nptl/tst-robustpi8 test was failing after
commit:
cfafcd117d ("futex: Rework futex_lock_pi() to use rt_mutex_*_proxy_lock()")
The following trace shows the problem:

Task 2165 does an UNLOCK_PI, assigning the lock to the waiter task 2161
which then returns with -ETIMEDOUT. That wrecks the lock state, because now
the owner isn't aware it acquired the lock and removes the pending robust
list entry.
If 2161 is killed, the robust list will not clear out this futex and the
subsequent acquire on this futex will then (correctly) result in -ESRCH
which is unexpected by glibc, triggers an internal assertion and dies.
Task 2161 Task 2165
rt_mutex_wait_proxy_lock()
timeout();
/* T2161 is still queued in the waiter list */
return -ETIMEDOUT;
futex_unlock_pi()
spin_lock(hb->lock);
rtmutex_unlock()

mark_lock_available();
/* Make the next waiter owner of the user space side */
futex_uval = 2161;
spin_unlock(hb->lock);
spin_lock(hb->lock);
rt_mutex_cleanup_proxy_lock()
if (rtmutex_owner() !== current)
...
return FAIL;
....
return -ETIMEOUT;
This means that rt_mutex_cleanup_proxy_lock() needs to call
try_to_take_rt_mutex() so it can take over the rtmutex correctly which was
assigned by the waker. If the rtmutex is owned by some other task then this
call is harmless and just confirmes that the waiter is not able to acquire
it.
While there, fix what looks like a merge error which resulted in
rt_mutex_cleanup_proxy_lock() having two calls to
fixup_rt_mutex_waiters() and rt_mutex_wait_proxy_lock() not having any.
Both should have one, since both potentially touch the waiter list.

rt_mutex_waiter::prio is a copy of task_struct::prio which is updated
during the PI chain walk, such that the PI chain order isn't messed up
by (asynchronous) task state updates.
Currently rt_mutex_waiter_less() uses task state for deadline tasks;
this is broken, since the task state can, as said above, change
asynchronously, causing the RB tree order to change without actual
tree update -> FAIL.
Fix this by also copying the deadline into the rt_mutex_waiter state
and updating it along with its prio field.
Ideally we would also force PI chain updates whenever DL tasks update
their deadline parameter, but for first approximation this is less
broken than it was.

This is because rt_mutex_enqueue_pi() and rt_mutex_dequeue_pi()
are only protected by pi_lock when operating pi waiters, while
rt_mutex_get_top_task(), will access them with rq lock held but
not holding pi_lock.
In order to tackle it, we introduce new "pi_top_task" pointer
cached in task_struct, and add new rt_mutex_update_top_task()
to update its value, it can be called by rt_mutex_setprio()
which held both owner's pi_lock and rq lock. Thus "pi_top_task"
can be safely accessed by enqueue_task_dl() under rq lock.

We should deboost before waking the high-priority task, such that we
don't run two tasks with the same "state" (priority, deadline,
sched_class, etc).
In order to make sure the boosting task doesn't start running between
unlock and deboost (due to 'spurious' wakeup), we move the deboost
under the wait_lock, that way its serialized against the wait loop in
__rt_mutex_slowlock().
Doing the deboost early can however lead to priority-inversion if
current would get preempted after the deboost but before waking our
high-prio task, hence we disable preemption before doing deboost, and
enabling it after the wake up is over.
This gets us the right semantic order, but most importantly however;
this change ensures pointer stability for the next patch, where we
have rt_mutex_setprio() cache a pointer to the top-most waiter task.
If we, as before this change, do the wakeup first and then deboost,
this pointer might point into thin air.

When PREEMPT_RT_FULL does the spinlock -> rt_mutex substitution the PI
chain code will (falsely) report a deadlock and BUG.
The problem is that it hold hb->lock (now an rt_mutex) while doing
task_blocks_on_rt_mutex on the futex's pi_state::rtmutex. This, when
interleaved just right with futex_unlock_pi() leads it to believe to see an
AB-BA deadlock.
Task1 (holds rt_mutex, Task2 (does FUTEX_LOCK_PI)
does FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI)
lock hb->lock
lock rt_mutex (as per start_proxy)
lock hb->lock
Which is a trivial AB-BA.
It is not an actual deadlock, because it won't be holding hb->lock by the
time it actually blocks on the rt_mutex, but the chainwalk code doesn't
know that and it would be a nightmare to handle this gracefully.
To avoid this problem, do the same as in futex_unlock_pi() and drop
hb->lock after acquiring wait_lock. This still fully serializes against
futex_unlock_pi(), since adding to the wait_list does the very same lock
dance, and removing it holds both locks.
Aside of solving the RT problem this makes the lock and unlock mechanism
symetric and reduces the hb->lock held time.

By changing futex_lock_pi() to use rt_mutex_*_proxy_lock() all wait_list
modifications are done under both hb->lock and wait_lock.
This closes the obvious interleave pattern between futex_lock_pi() and
futex_unlock_pi(), but not entirely so. See below:
Before:
futex_lock_pi() futex_unlock_pi()
unlock hb->lock
lock hb->lock
unlock hb->lock
lock rt_mutex->wait_lock
unlock rt_mutex_wait_lock
-EAGAIN
lock rt_mutex->wait_lock
list_add
unlock rt_mutex->wait_lock
schedule()
lock rt_mutex->wait_lock
list_del
unlock rt_mutex->wait_lock
<idem>
-EAGAIN
lock hb->lock
After:
futex_lock_pi() futex_unlock_pi()
lock hb->lock
lock rt_mutex->wait_lock
list_add
unlock rt_mutex->wait_lock
unlock hb->lock
schedule()
lock hb->lock
unlock hb->lock
lock hb->lock
lock rt_mutex->wait_lock
list_del
unlock rt_mutex->wait_lock
lock rt_mutex->wait_lock
unlock rt_mutex_wait_lock
-EAGAIN
unlock hb->lock
It does however solve the earlier starvation/live-lock scenario which got
introduced with the -EAGAIN since unlike the before scenario; where the
-EAGAIN happens while futex_unlock_pi() doesn't hold any locks; in the
after scenario it happens while futex_unlock_pi() actually holds a lock,
and then it is serialized on that lock.

With the ultimate goal of keeping rt_mutex wait_list and futex_q waiters
consistent it's necessary to split 'rt_mutex_futex_lock()' into finer
parts, such that only the actual blocking can be done without hb->lock
held.
Split split_mutex_finish_proxy_lock() into two parts, one that does the
blocking and one that does remove_waiter() when the lock acquire failed.
When the rtmutex was acquired successfully the waiter can be removed in the
acquisiton path safely, since there is no concurrency on the lock owner.
This means that, except for futex_lock_pi(), all wait_list modifications
are done with both hb->lock and wait_lock held.

Running my likely/unlikely profiler for 3 weeks on two production
machines, I discovered that the unlikely() test in
__rt_mutex_slowlock() checking if state is TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE is hit
100% of the time, making it a very likely case.
The reason is, on a vanilla kernel, the majority case of calling
rt_mutex() is from the futex code. This code is always called as
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. In the -rt patch, this code is commonly called when
PREEMPT_RT is enabled with TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE. But that's not the
likely scenario.
The rt_mutex() code should be optimized for the common vanilla case,
and that is from a futex, with TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE as the state.

David reported a futex/rtmutex state corruption. It's caused by the
following problem:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
l->owner=T1
rt_mutex_lock(l)
lock(l->wait_lock)
l->owner = T1 | HAS_WAITERS;
enqueue(T2)
boost()
unlock(l->wait_lock)
schedule()
rt_mutex_lock(l)
lock(l->wait_lock)
l->owner = T1 | HAS_WAITERS;
enqueue(T3)
boost()
unlock(l->wait_lock)
schedule()
signal(->T2) signal(->T3)
lock(l->wait_lock)
dequeue(T2)
deboost()
unlock(l->wait_lock)
lock(l->wait_lock)
dequeue(T3)
===> wait list is now empty
deboost()
unlock(l->wait_lock)
lock(l->wait_lock)
fixup_rt_mutex_waiters()
if (wait_list_empty(l)) {
owner = l->owner & ~HAS_WAITERS;
l->owner = owner
==> l->owner = T1
}
lock(l->wait_lock)
rt_mutex_unlock(l) fixup_rt_mutex_waiters()
if (wait_list_empty(l)) {
owner = l->owner & ~HAS_WAITERS;
cmpxchg(l->owner, T1, NULL)
===> Success (l->owner = NULL)
l->owner = owner
==> l->owner = T1
}
That means the problem is caused by fixup_rt_mutex_waiters() which does the
RMW to clear the waiters bit unconditionally when there are no waiters in
the rtmutexes rbtree.
This can be fatal: A concurrent unlock can release the rtmutex in the
fastpath because the waiters bit is not set. If the cmpxchg() gets in the
middle of the RMW operation then the previous owner, which just unlocked
the rtmutex is set as the owner again when the write takes place after the
successfull cmpxchg().
The solution is rather trivial: verify that the owner member of the rtmutex
has the waiters bit set before clearing it. This does not require a
cmpxchg() or other atomic operations because the waiters bit can only be
set and cleared with the rtmutex wait_lock held. It's also safe against the
fast path unlock attempt. The unlock attempt via cmpxchg() will either see
the bit set and take the slowpath or see the bit cleared and release it
atomically in the fastpath.
It's remarkable that the test program provided by David triggers on ARM64
and MIPS64 really quick, but it refuses to reproduce on x86-64, while the
problem exists there as well. That refusal might explain that this got not
discovered earlier despite the bug existing from day one of the rtmutex
implementation more than 10 years ago.
Thanks to David for meticulously instrumenting the code and providing the
information which allowed to decode this subtle problem.

This is caused by the following code sequence on CPU1
rcu_read_lock()
x = lookup();
if (x)
spin_lock_irqsave(&x->it_lock);
rcu_read_unlock();
return x;
We could fix that in the posix timer code by keeping rcu read locked across
the spinlocked and irq disabled section, but the above sequence is common and
there is no reason not to support it.
Taking rt_mutex.wait_lock irq safe prevents the deadlock.
