Mathieu Desnoyers [Wed, 22 Jun 2022 20:28:53 +0000 (16:28 -0400)] 
Fix: workqueue: futex wait: handle spurious futex wakeups

Observed issue
==============

The workqueue thread futex_wait() returns with a workqueue->futex state
of -1, which is unexpected. In this situation, the workqueue thread is
observed to use 99% of CPU as workqueue->futex values are decremented to
very low negative values while the workqueue is empty.

This issue will cause spurious unexpected high CPU use, but will not
lead to data corruption.

Cause
=====

From futex(5):

       FUTEX_WAIT
              Returns 0 if the caller was woken up.  Note that a  wake-up  can
              also  be caused by common futex usage patterns in unrelated code
              that happened to have previously used the  futex  word's  memory
              location  (e.g., typical futex-based implementations of Pthreads
              mutexes can cause this under some conditions).  Therefore, call‐
              ers should always conservatively assume that a return value of 0
              can mean a spurious wake-up, and  use  the  futex  word's  value
              (i.e.,  the user-space synchronization scheme) to decide whether
              to continue to block or not.

Solution
========

We therefore need to validate whether the value differs from -1 in
user-space after the call to FUTEX_WAIT returns 0.

Known drawbacks
===============

None.

This is because the pointer passed to _rcu_dereference is const (the
pointer itself is const, IIUC, not necessarily the data it points to),
so the temporary _________p1 is also declared as const.  We therefore
can't pass a non-const pointer to it to a function that modifies it.

I applied the trick found here [1] with success to get rid of the
constness of the variable.  With this change, lttng-tools compiles
successfully with gcc 11.

There may be other spots in the headers where this would be needed, but
it is hard to spot them.  I think we would need to write some test file
that pass const pointers to all macros of the API and see if they
compile.

"void *" parameter as "m" or "+m" operand to the inline assembly. That
motivation was explained in commit 53b8ed6836363 ("s390 uatomic arch fix").

The out of bound access is detected by gcc because struct
__uatomic_dummy's length is quite large: an array of 10 unsigned long,
which is larger than the size pointed to by the void pointer.

So rather than using a fixed-size type, cast to a structure containing
an array of characters of a size matching the @addr input argument.

While we are at it and digging out git archeology, properly document the
__hp() macro for posterity.

Fix: configure: support Autoconf 2.70

The newly-released autoconf 2.70 introduces a number of breaking
changes [1] and is being rolled-out by some distros.

Amongst those changes, the AC_PROG_CC_STDC macro is marked as obsolete
and was merged into AC_PROG_CC, which we already use. On 2.70, this
results in a warning which we handle as an error.

A version check is added to invoke the AC_PROG_CC_STDC macro only when
running a pre-2.70 version of autoconf, fixing the issue.

Also, the AX_PTHREAD macro makes use of the $as_echo built-in shell
variable which no longer exists in 2.70. A patch was submitted to the
GNU Autoconf archive in March, but there have been no signs of life
given since then [2].

As such, our local copy is updated to the latest version and the patch
(which looks fairly straight-forward / safe) is applied. This should
minimize changes once we go back to an "official" version of the macro.

Paul E. McKenney [Thu, 22 Oct 2020 22:30:21 +0000 (15:30 -0700)] 
call_rcu: Fix race between rcu_barrier() and call_rcu_data_free()

The current code can lose RCU callbacks at shutdown time, which can
result in hangs.  This lossage can happen as follows:

o       A thread invokes call_rcu_data_free(), which executes up through
        the wake_call_rcu_thread().  At this point, the call_rcu_data
        structure has been drained of callbacks, but is still on the
        call_rcu_data_list.  Note that this thread does not hold the
        call_rcu_mutex.

o       Another thread invokes rcu_barrier(), which traverses the
        call_rcu_data_list under the protection of call_rcu_mutex,
        a list which still includes the above newly drained structure.
        This thread therefore adds a callback to the newly drained
        call_rcu_data structure.  It then releases call_rcu_mutex and
        enters a mystifying loop that does futex stuff.

o       The first thread finishes executing call_rcu_data_free(),
        which acquires call_rcu_mutex just long enough to remove the
        newly drained call_rcu_data structure from call_rcu_data_list.
        Which causes one of the rcu_barrier() invocation's callbacks to
        be leaked.

o       The second thread's rcu_barrier() invocation never returns
        resulting in a hang.

This commit therefore changes call_rcu_data_free() to acquire
call_rcu_mutex before checking the call_rcu_data structure for callbacks.
In the case where there are no callbacks, call_rcu_mutex is held across
both the check and the removal from call_rcu_data_list, thus preventing
rcu_barrier() from adding a callback in the meantime.  In the case where
there are callbacks, call_rcu_mutex must be momentarily dropped across
the call to get_default_call_rcu_data(), which can itself acquire
call_rcu_mutex.  This momentary drop is not a problem because any
callbacks that rcu_barrier() might queue during that period of time will
be moved to the default call_rcu_data structure, and the lock will be
held across the full time including moving those callbacks and removing
the call_rcu_data structure that was passed into call_rcu_data_free()
from call_rcu_data_list.

With this fix, a several-hundred-CPU test successfully completes more
than 5,000 executions.  Without this fix, it fails within a few tens
of executions.  Although the failures happen more quickly on larger
systems, in theory this could happen on a single-CPU system, courtesy
of preemption.

Fix: tls-compat.h exposes compiler-dependent public configuration

Exposing the storage class chosen by ax_tls.m4 in a public header is
a bad idea, because if a recent gcc is used when configuring
liburcu, thus detecting C11, it will choose _Thread_local. Then, if an
external project uses urcu/tls-compat.h with an older gcc (e.g. 4.8),
it will fail to build, because that storage class is unknown, and
__thread should be used instead.

Therefore, use a preprocessor conditional on __cplusplus to detect C++11
(and use thread_local). Else, the STDC version is used to select
_Thread_local. Else check if _MSC_VER is defined to select
__declspec(thread), or else rely on __thread as fallback.

Refactor liburcu to support many flavors per compile unit

This refactoring keeps the prior use of liburcu "map" APIs unchanged.
However, it introduces the following new APIs:

Each urcu flavor is now available as its own header:

include/urcu/urcu-memb.h
include/urcu/urcu-mb.h
include/urcu/urcu-signal.h
include/urcu/urcu-bp.h
include/urcu/urcu-qsbr.h

The installed urcu headers that were not under the urcu/ subdirectory
are moved there:

include/urcu-call-rcu.h -> include/urcu/call-rcu.h
include/urcu-defer.h -> include/urcu/defer.h
include/urcu-flavor.h -> include/urcu/flavor.h
include/urcu-pointer.h -> include/urcu/pointer.h
include/urcu-bp.h -> include/urcu/urcu-bp.h
include/urcu.h -> include/urcu/urcu.h
include/urcu-qsbr.h -> include/urcu/urcu-qsbr.h

The liburcu "map" API is now only available for use when URCU_API_MAP is
defined before including the liburcu flavor headers.

The old headers are now placeholders defining URCU_API_MAP and including
the new headers for backward compatibility:

include/urcu-bp.h
include/urcu-call-rcu.h
include/urcu-defer.h
include/urcu-flavor.h
include/urcu-pointer.h
include/urcu-qsbr.h
include/urcu.h

The header include/urcu/urcu.h now includes the right header between the
memb, signal, or mb flavors based on the compiler defines.

The symbol names of liburcu flavors are cleaned up, favoring the
following hierarchy:

urcu_<flavor name>_...

This is an ABI-breaking change, however the previous symbols name were
kept as aliases to maintain backward compatibility. They will be removed
when the next SONAME bump occurs.

The new liburcu-memb.so shared object is introduced, properly
namespacing this flavor. It is a duplicate of the previous liburcu.so,
which is kept around for backward compatibility.

The new URCU_API_MAP macro is introduced, controlling whether the
urcu API "mapping" should stay defined after inclusion of the flavor
headers. Users wishing to use the prior urcu API should either
explicitly define URCU_API_MAP before including the urcu/urcu*.h flavor
headers, or include the flavor header files from the include toplevel
directory, which are placeholders for backward compatibility. Use of
many urcu flavors within the same _LGPL_SOURCE compile unit should not
use the "map" APIs.

Internally, the "map" header files are split into one header per
flavor. The include guards are removed, so their effect can be
applied more than once. A new include/urcu/map/clear.h header is
introduced, which undefines the mappings at the end of the flavor
header if URCU_API_MAP is not set.

The new APIs namespaced for each urcu flavor is the recommended way to
use liburcu. We can expect the prior APIs to eventually become
deprecated over time.

Unconditionally waiting for 10 ms after the completion of every batch

evident that it is desirable in the context of a general-purpose

Fix: don't wait after completion of job batch if work queue is empty

On completion of a batch of jobs from the work queue, a wait of 10
ms (using poll()) is performed if there is no work present in the
work queue before waiting on its futex.

The work queue thread's structure is inspired by the call-rcu thread.
In the context of the call-rcu thread, my understanding is that the
intention is to ensure that the thread does not continuously wake-up
to process a single queued item. This is fine as an application should
not wait for a call-rcu job to be executed (or at least I don't see a
use-case for that).

In the context of the work queue, waiting for more work to be available
artificially slows down the execution of work on which an application
may wait.

I have observed a case where LTTng's session daemon's shutdown is
takes around 4 seconds as a large number of cds_lfht objects are
destroyed. Removing the wait reduces the duration of this phase of the
shut-down to almost ~10ms.

Fix: compat_futex_noasync on Cygwin

The futex_noasync compat code uses a weak symbol to share state across
different shared object which is not possible on Windows with the
Portable Executable format. Use the async compat code for both cases.

6 years agowfcqueue: allow defining CDS_WFCQ_WAIT_SLEEP to override `poll'

wfcqueue: allow defining CDS_WFCQ_WAIT_SLEEP to override `poll'

Users may want to use alternative sleeping behavior instead of
`poll'.  Make CDS_WFCQ_WAIT_SLEEP a macro which may be defined
before including wfcqueue.h.

This alternative behavior could include logging, performing
low-priority cleanup work, sleeping a shorter/longer interval
or any combination of that.

This will also make integration into glibc easier, as `poll'
linkage causes conformance test failures even when relegated
to an impossible code path:

Tests: Replace prove by autotools tap runner

This patch removes the dependency on the prove perl script
to run the TAP test suite. It replaces it with the autotools
shell TAP driver that only requires a shell and awk.

Custom arguments can be passed to the test runner with
env variables as follow:

  env LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS='--comments --ignore-exit' \
      TESTS='foo.test baz.test' make -e check

This tap driver also creates a log file for each test that
can then be used by another system to build a test report.
