Can you give an example of where we are passing an incompatible pointer?

That sounds indicative of a bug in the caller, but maybe I'm missing some
reason this is necessary due to some indirection.

I'm not sure that this needs a fixes tag. Does anything go wrong today, or only
later in this series?

Thanks,
Mark.

An example is patch 10/10 from the series, which will fail without
this fix when fallback code is used. We have:

-       } while (local_cmpxchg(&rb->head, offset, head) != offset);
+       } while (!local_try_cmpxchg(&rb->head, &offset, head));

where rb->head is defined as:

typedef struct {
   atomic_long_t a;
} local_t;

while offset is defined as 'unsigned long'.

The assignment in existing try_cmpxchg template:

typeof(*(_ptr)) *___op = (_oldp)

will trigger an initialization from an incompatible pointer type error.

Please note that x86 avoids this issue by a cast in its
target-dependent definition:

#define __raw_try_cmpxchg(_ptr, _pold, _new, size, lock)                \
({                                                                      \
       bool success;                                                   \
       __typeof__(_ptr) _old = (__typeof__(_ptr))(_pold);              \
       __typeof__(*(_ptr)) __old = *_old;                              \
       __typeof__(*(_ptr)) __new = (_new);                             \

so, the warning/error will trigger only in the fallback code.

The patch at [1] triggered a build error in posix_acl.c/__get.acl due
to the same problem. The compilation for x86 target was OK, because
x86 defines target-specific arch_try_cmpxchg, but the compilation
broke for targets that revert to generic support. Please note that
this specific problem was recently fixed in a different way [2], but
the issue with the fallback remains.

Ok, but that's because we're doing the wrong thing to start with.

Since local_t is defined in terms of atomic_long_t, we should define the
generic local_try_cmpxchg() in terms of atomic_long_try_cmpxchg(). We'll still
have a mismatch between 'long *' and 'unsigned long *', but then we can fix
that in the callsite:

	while (!local_try_cmpxchg(&rb->head, &(long *)offset, head))

... which then won't silently mask issues elsewhere, and will be consistent
with all the other atomic APIs.

Thanks,
Mark.

Sorry, that should be:
	
	while (!local_try_cmpxchg(&rb->head, (long *)&offset, head))

The fundamenalthing I'm trying to say is that the
atomic/atomic64/atomic_long/local/local64 APIs should be type-safe, and for
their try_cmpxchg() implementations, the type signature should be:

	${atomictype}_try_cmpxchg(${atomictype} *ptr, ${inttype} *old, ${inttype} new)

Thanks,
Mark.

The fallbacks are a bit more complicated than above, and are different
from atomic_try_cmpxchg.

Please note in patch 2/10, the falbacks when arch_try_cmpxchg_local
are not defined call arch_cmpxchg_local. Also in patch 2/10,
try_cmpxchg_local is introduced, where it calls
arch_try_cmpxchg_local. Targets (and generic code) simply define (e.g.
:

#define local_cmpxchg(l, o, n) \
       (cmpxchg_local(&((l)->a.counter), (o), (n)))
+#define local_try_cmpxchg(l, po, n) \
+       (try_cmpxchg_local(&((l)->a.counter), (po), (n)))

which is part of the local_t API. Targets should either define all
these #defines, or none. There are no partial fallbacks as is the case
with atomic_t.

The core of the local_h API is in the local.h header. If the target
doesn't define its own local.h header, then asm-generic/local.h is
used that does exactly what you propose above regarding the usage of
atomic functions.

OTOH, when the target defines its own local.h, then the above
target-dependent #define path applies. The target should define its
own arch_try_cmpxchg_local, otherwise a "generic" target-dependent
fallback that calls target arch_cmpxchg_local applies. In the case of
x86, patch 9/10 enables new instruction by defining
arch_try_cmpxchg_local.

FYI, the patch sequence is carefully chosen so that x86 also exercises
fallback code between different patches in the series.

Targets are free to define local_t to whatever they like, but for some
reason they all define it to:

typedef struct {
    atomic_long_t a;
} local_t;

so they have to dig the variable out of the struct like:

#define local_cmpxchg(l, o, n) \
     (cmpxchg_local(&((l)->a.counter), (o), (n)))

Regarding the mismatch of 'long *' vs 'unsigned long *': x86
target-specific code does for try_cmpxchg:

#define __raw_try_cmpxchg(_ptr, _pold, _new, size, lock) \
({ \
bool success; \
__typeof__(_ptr) _old = (__typeof__(_ptr))(_pold); \
__typeof__(*(_ptr)) __old = *_old; \
__typeof__(*(_ptr)) __new = (_new); \

so, it *does* cast the "old" pointer to the type of "ptr". The generic
code does *not*. This difference is dangerous, since the compilation
of some code involving try_cmpxchg will compile OK for x86 but will
break for other targets that use try_cmpxchg fallback templates (I was
the unlucky one that tripped on this in the past). Please note that
this problem is not specific to the proposed local_try_cmpxchg series,
but affects the existing try_cmpxchg API.

Also, I don't think that "fixing" callsites is the right thing to do.
The generic code should follow x86 and cast the "old" pointer to the
type of "ptr" inside the fallback.

This conversion should be performed also for the cmpxchg family of
functions, if desired at all. try_cmpxchg fallback is just cmpxchg
with some extra code around.

Thanks,
Uros.

Whether or not there are fallbacks is immaterial.

In those cases, architectures can just as easily write C wrappers, e.g.

long local_cmpxchg(local_t *l, long old, long new)
{
	return cmpxchg_local(&l->a.counter, old, new);
}

long local_try_cmpxchg(local_t *l, long *old, long new)
{
	return try_cmpxchg_local(&l->a.counter, old, new);
}

Yes, which is why I used atomic_long() above.

I understand the problem of arch code differing from generic code, and that we
want to have *a* consistent behaviour for hte API.

What I'm saying is that the behaviour we should aim for is where the 'old'
pointer has a specific type (long), and we always require that, as we do for
the various atomic_*() APIs of which local_*() is a cousin.

> Also, I don't think that "fixing" callsites is the right thing to do.

Why? What's wrong with doing that?

The documentation in Documentation/core-api/local_ops.rst says:

    The ``local_t`` type is defined as an opaque ``signed long``

So the obvious and least surprising thing is for the local_*() functions to use
'long' for values and 'long *' for pointers to values.

Requiring a cast in a few places is not the end of the world.

> The generic code should follow x86 and cast the "old" pointer to the
> type of "ptr" inside the fallback.

Why?

I disagree, and think it's far better to be strict by default. That way,
accidental usage of the wrong type will be caught by the compiler, and if
someone *really* wants to use a differently type then can use a cast in the
callsite, which makes it really obvious when that is happening.

I appreciate that may require some preparatory cleanup, but I think that's a
small price to pay for having this in a clearer and more maintainable state.

FWIW, I agree that we *should* make try_cmpxchg() check that ptr and old
pointer are the same type.

However, I don't think that's a prerequisite for doing so for
local_try_cmpxchg().

Plese make local_try_cmpxchg() have a proper type-safe C prototype, as we do
with the atomic*_try_cmpxchg() APIs.

Please find attached the complete prototype patch that implements the
above suggestion.

The patch includes:
- implementation of instrumented try_cmpxchg{,64}_local definitions
- corresponding arch_try_cmpxchg{,64}_local fallback definitions
- generic local{,64}_try_cmpxchg (and local{,64}_cmpxchg) C wrappers

- x86 specific local_try_cmpxchg (and local_cmpxchg) C wrappers
- x86 specific arch_try_cmpxchg_local definition

- kernel/events/ring_buffer.c change to test local_try_cmpxchg
implementation and illustrate the transition
- arch/x86/events/core.c change to test local64_try_cmpxchg
implementation and illustrate the transition

The definition of atomic_long_t is different for 64-bit and 32-bit
targets (s64 vs int), so target specific C wrappers have to use
different casts to account for this difference.
