Fix: call_rcu: teardown default call_rcu worker on application exit

Teardown the default call_rcu worker thread if there are no queued
callbacks on process exit. This prevents leaking memory.

Here is how an application can ensure graceful teardown of this
worker thread:

- An application queuing call_rcu callbacks should invoke
  rcu_barrier() before it exits.
- When chaining call_rcu callbacks, the number of calls to
  rcu_barrier() on application exit must match at least the maximum
  number of chained callbacks.
- If an application chains callbacks endlessly, it would have to be
  modified to stop chaining callbacks when it detects an application
  exit (e.g. with a flag), and wait for quiescence with rcu_barrier()
  after setting that flag.
- The statements above apply to a library which queues call_rcu
  callbacks, only it needs to invoke rcu_barrier in its library
  destructor.

This deadlock is easy to reproduce when rapidly adding a large number of
entries in the cds_lfht, removing them, and calling cds_lfht_destroy().

The deadlock will occur if the call to cds_lfht_destroy() takes place
while a resize of the hash table is ongoing.

Fix this by moving the teardown of the lfht worker thread to libcds
library destructor, so it does not have to wait on synchronize_rcu from
a resize callback from within a read-side critical section. As a
consequence, the atfork callbacks are left registered within each urcu
flavor for which a resizeable hash table is created until the end of the
executable lifetime.

The other part of the fix is to move the hash table destruction to the
worker thread for auto-resize hash tables. This prevents having to wait
for resize callbacks from RCU read-side critical section. This is
guaranteed by the fact that the worker thread serializes previously
queued resize callbacks before the destroy callback.

to the macro to get rid of its constness, should it be const (with the
end goal of avoiding compiler warnings).  This is problematic (as shown
in [1]) if it is a pointer to an opaque type though, as the compiler
cannot perform pointer arithmetic on such a pointer (even though it
wouldn't really need to here, as we add 0).

Change it to use another trick to strip away the constness, that
shouldn't hit this problem.  It was found in the same stackoverflow post
as the original trick [2].  It consists of using a statement expression
like so:

    __typeof__(({ const int foo; foo; }))

The statement expression yields a value of type `int`.  Statement
expressions are extensions to the C language, but we already use them
here.

The urcu-qsbr wait_gp() implements a futex wait/wakeup scheme identical to
the workqueue code, which has an issue with spurious wakeups.

A spurious wakeup on wait_gp can cause wait_gp to return with a

will be decremented to very low negative values until it reaches 0

The state is restored to 0 when the input_readers list is found to be

This issue will cause spurious unexpected high CPU use, but will not

Fix: call_rcu: futex wait: handle spurious futex wakeups

Observed issue
==============

The urcu call_rcu() and rcu_barrier() each implement a futex wait/wakeup
scheme identical to the workqueue code, which has an issue with spurious
wakeups.

* call_rcu

A spurious wakeup on call_rcu_wait can cause call_rcu_wait to return
with a crdp->futex state of -1, which is unexpected. It would cause the
following loops in call_rcu_thread() to decrement the crdp->futex to
values below -1, thus actively using CPU time as values will be
decremented to very low negative values until the futex value underflows
back to 0. The state is *not* restored to 0 when the callback list is
found to be non-empty, so this unexpected state will persist until the
crdp->futex state underflows back to 0, or until the call_rcu_thread is
stopped. What prevents this from having too much user-observable effects
is that the call rcu thread has a 10ms sleep between loops, to favor
batching of callbacks. Therefore, rather than being a purely 100% active
busy-wait, this scenario leads to a busy-wait which is paced by 10ms
sleeps.

Therefore the observed issue will be that the call_rcu_thread will
unexpectedly wake up the CPU each 10ms after this spurious wakeup
happens.

* rcu_barrier

A spurious wakeup on call_rcu_completion_wait can cause
call_rcu_completion_wait to return with a completion->futex state of -1,
which is unexpected. It would cause the following loops in rcu_barrier()
to decrement the completion->futex to values below -1, thus actively
using CPU time as values will be decremented to very low negative values
until either the barrier count reaches 0 or until the futex value
underflows to 0.

Therefore the observed issue will be that rcu_barrier() will
unexpectedly use a lot of CPU time when this spurious wakeup happens.

These issues will cause spurious unexpected high CPU use, but will not
lead to data corruption.

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.

The (previously undocumented) reason for this macro is to allow passing the
"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.

3 years agobump SONAME major to 8
Michael Jeanson [Tue, 1 Jun 2021 21:01:49 +0000 (17:01 -0400)] 
bump SONAME major to 8

In URCU 0.11, we introduced new symbols to clean up the library symbol
namespacing, using the "alias" attribute to keep emitting the old
symbols, expecting to preserve ABI backward compatibility.
Unfortunately, it turns out that even though it works well for function
symbols, it is broken for public global variables due to the way ELF
copy relocation works.

When building a non-PIC executable that uses an extern variable, a .bss
symbol is emitted in the executable. This will take precedence over the
symbol implemented within the library in the Global Symbol Table.
Unfortunately, the alias within the library will not be aware that the
actual GST symbol differs from its alias within the library, and the
addresses for the symbol and its alias will differ at runtime.

Considering that this compatibility issue affects official library
releases, there is little we can do beyond documenting this issue, and
bumping the Userspace RCU major soname for the next (0.13) release.

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.

        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.

Mathieu Desnoyers [Mon, 20 Apr 2020 15:30:49 +0000 (11:30 -0400)] 
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.

Remove ax_tls.m4 because it is now unused.

Fix: tap array subscript has type char warning

On architectures where "char" is signed, it should be cast to unsigned
char before being passed as parameter to isdigit or isspace. Based on
their man page:

       These  functions  check  whether  c,  which  must  have the value of an
       unsigned char or EOF, falls into a certain character class according to
       the  specified  locale.

Passing a signed char as parameter is invalid if the values fall into
the negative range of the signed char.
