[ Upstream commit 1a365e822372ba24c9da0822bc583894f6f3d821 ]
This fixes various data races in spinlock_debug. By testing with KCSAN,
it is observable that the console gets spammed with data races reports,
suggesting these are extremely frequent.Example data race report:
read to 0xffff8ab24f403c48 of 4 bytes by task 221 on cpu 2:
debug_spin_lock_before kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:85 [inline]
do_raw_spin_lock+0x9b/0x210 kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:112
__raw_spin_lock include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:143 [inline]
_raw_spin_lock+0x39/0x40 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:151
spin_lock include/linux/spinlock.h:338 [inline]
get_partial_node.isra.0.part.0+0x32/0x2f0 mm/slub.c:1873
get_partial_node mm/slub.c:1870 [inline]
write to 0xffff8ab24f403c48 of 4 bytes by task 167 on cpu 3:
debug_spin_unlock kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:103 [inline]

_raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x2d/0x50 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:191
spin_unlock_irqrestore include/linux/spinlock.h:393 [inline]
free_debug_processing+0x1b3/0x210 mm/slub.c:1214
__slab_free+0x292/0x400 mm/slub.c:2864
As a side-effect, with KCSAN, this eventually locks up the console, most
likely due to deadlock, e.g. .. -> printk lock -> spinlock_debug ->
KCSAN detects data race -> kcsan_print_report() -> printk lock ->
deadlock.This fix will 1) avoid the data races, and 2) allow using lock debugging
together with KCSAN.Reported-by: Qian Cai

Removing explicit calls to mmiowb() from driver code means that we must
now call into the generic mmiowb_spin_{lock,unlock}() functions from the
core spinlock code. In order to elide barriers following critical
sections without any I/O writes, we also hook into the asm-generic I/O
routines.Acked-by: Linus Torvalds

The current spinlock lockup detection code can sometimes produce false
positives because of the unfairness of the locking algorithm itself.So the lockup detection code is now removed. Instead, we are relying
on the NMI watchdog to detect potential lockup. We won't have lockup
detection if the watchdog isn't running.The commented-out read-write lock lockup detection code are also
removed.Signed-off-by: Waiman Long
