From 403b4feb22dcbc85ace72a361d2a951380372471 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Liebler Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2018 12:23:04 +0200 Subject: Fix race in pthread_mutex_lock while promoting to PTHREAD_MUTEX_ELISION_NP [BZ #23275] The race leads either to pthread_mutex_destroy returning EBUSY or triggering an assertion (See description in bugzilla). This patch is fixing the race by ensuring that the elision path is used in all cases if elision is enabled by the GLIBC_TUNABLES framework. The __kind variable in struct __pthread_mutex_s is accessed concurrently. Therefore we are now using the atomic macros. The new testcase tst-mutex10 is triggering the race on s390x and intel. Presumably also on power, but I don't have access to a power machine with lock-elision. At least the code for power is the same as on the other two architectures. ChangeLog: [BZ #23275] * nptl/tst-mutex10.c: New File. * nptl/Makefile (tests): Add tst-mutex10. (tst-mutex10-ENV): New variable. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/force-elision.h: (FORCE_ELISION): Ensure that elision path is used if elision is available. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/force-elision.h (FORCE_ELISION): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/force-elision.h: (FORCE_ELISION): Likewise. * nptl/pthreadP.h (PTHREAD_MUTEX_TYPE, PTHREAD_MUTEX_TYPE_ELISION) (PTHREAD_MUTEX_PSHARED): Use atomic_load_relaxed. * nptl/pthread_mutex_consistent.c (pthread_mutex_consistent): Likewise. * nptl/pthread_mutex_getprioceiling.c (pthread_mutex_getprioceiling): Likewise. * nptl/pthread_mutex_lock.c (__pthread_mutex_lock_full) (__pthread_mutex_cond_lock_adjust): Likewise. * nptl/pthread_mutex_setprioceiling.c (pthread_mutex_setprioceiling): Likewise. * nptl/pthread_mutex_timedlock.c (__pthread_mutex_timedlock): Likewise. * nptl/pthread_mutex_trylock.c (__pthread_mutex_trylock): Likewise. * nptl/pthread_mutex_unlock.c (__pthread_mutex_unlock_full): Likewise. * sysdeps/nptl/bits/thread-shared-types.h (struct __pthread_mutex_s): Add comments. * nptl/pthread_mutex_destroy.c (__pthread_mutex_destroy): Use atomic_load_relaxed and atomic_store_relaxed. * nptl/pthread_mutex_init.c (__pthread_mutex_init): Use atomic_store_relaxed. --- sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/force-elision.h | 44 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 40 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86') diff --git a/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/force-elision.h b/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/force-elision.h index dd659c908f..61282d6678 100644 --- a/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/force-elision.h +++ b/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/force-elision.h @@ -18,9 +18,45 @@ /* Automatically enable elision for existing user lock kinds. */ #define FORCE_ELISION(m, s) \ - if (__pthread_force_elision \ - && (m->__data.__kind & PTHREAD_MUTEX_ELISION_FLAGS_NP) == 0) \ + if (__pthread_force_elision) \ { \ - mutex->__data.__kind |= PTHREAD_MUTEX_ELISION_NP; \ - s; \ + /* See concurrency notes regarding __kind in \ + struct __pthread_mutex_s in \ + sysdeps/nptl/bits/thread-shared-types.h. \ + \ + There are the following cases for the kind of a mutex \ + (The mask PTHREAD_MUTEX_ELISION_FLAGS_NP covers the flags \ + PTHREAD_MUTEX_ELISION_NP and PTHREAD_MUTEX_NO_ELISION_NP where \ + only one of both flags can be set): \ + - both flags are not set: \ + This is the first lock operation for this mutex.
