- Have emulating atomic64 use arch_spin_locks instead of raw_spin_locks
The tracing ring buffer events have a small timestamp that holds the
delta between itself and the event before it. But this can be tricky
to update when interrupts come in. It originally just set the deltas
to zero for events that interrupted the adding of another event which
made all the events in the interrupt have the same timestamp as the
event it interrupted. This was not suitable for many tools, so it
was eventually fixed. But that fix required adding an atomic64 cmpxchg
on the timestamp in cases where an event was added while another
event was in the process of being added.
Originally, for 32 bit architectures, the manipulation of the 64 bit
timestamp was done by a structure that held multiple 32bit words to hold
parts of the timestamp and a counter. But as updates to the ring buffer
were done, maintaining this became too complex and was replaced by the
atomic64 generic operations which are now used by both 64bit and 32bit
architectures. Shortly after that, it was reported that riscv32 and
other 32 bit architectures that just used the generic atomic64 were
locking up. This was because the generic atomic64 operations defined in
lib/atomic64.c uses a raw_spin_lock() to emulate an atomic64 operation.
The problem here was that raw_spin_lock() can also be traced by the
function tracer (which is commonly used for debugging raw spin locks).
Since the function tracer uses the tracing ring buffer, which now is being
traced internally, this was triggering a recursion and setting off a
warning that the spin locks were recusing.
There's no reason for the code that emulates atomic64 operations to be
using raw_spin_locks which have a lot of debugging infrastructure attached
to them (depending on the config options). Instead it should be using
the arch_spin_lock() which does not have any infrastructure attached to
them and is used by low level infrastructure like RCU locks, lockdep
and of course tracing. Using arch_spin_lock()s fixes this issue.
- Do not trace in NMI if the architecture uses emulated atomic64 operations
Another issue with using the emulated atomic64 operations that uses
spin locks to emulate the atomic64 operations is that they cannot be
used in NMI context. As an NMI can trigger while holding the atomic64
spin locks it can try to take the same lock and cause a deadlock.
Have the ring buffer fail recording events if in NMI context and the
architecture uses the emulated atomic64 operations.
