Update rwlocks to track owner to ensure correct semantics The behavior of RW_*_HELD was updated because it was not quite right. It is not sufficient to return non-zero when the lock is help, we must only do this when the current task in the holder. This means we need to track the lock owner which is not something tracked in a Linux semaphore. After some experimentation the solution I settled on was to embed the Linux semaphore at the start of a larger krwlock_t structure which includes the owner field. This maintains good performance and allows us to cleanly intergrate with the kernel lock analysis tools. My reasons: 1) By placing the Linux semaphore at the start of krwlock_t we can then simply cast krwlock_t to a rw_semaphore and pass that on to the linux kernel. This allows us to use '#defines so the preprocessor can do direct replacement of the Solaris primative with the linux equivilant. This is important because it then maintains the location information for each rw_* call point. 2) Additionally, by adding the owner to krwlock_t we can keep this needed extra information adjacent to the lock itself. This removes the need for a fancy lookup to get the owner which is optimal for performance. We can also leverage the existing spin lock in the semaphore to ensure owner is updated correctly. 3) All helper functions which do not need to strictly be implemented as a define to preserve location information can be done as a static inline function. 4) Adding the owner to krwlock_t allows us to remove all memory allocations done during lock initialization. This is good for all the obvious reasons, we do give up the ability to specific the lock name. The Linux profiling tools will stringify the lock name used in the code via the preprocessor and use that. Update rwlocks validated on: - SLES10 (ppc64) - SLES11 (x86_64) - CHAOS4.2 (x86_64) - RHEL5.3 (x86_64) - RHEL6 (x86_64) - FC11 (x86_64)

Add Thread Specific Data (TSD) Implementation Thread specific data has implemented using a hash table, this avoids the need to add a member to the task structure and allows maximum portability between kernels. This implementation has been optimized to keep the tsd_set() and tsd_get() times as small as possible. The majority of the entries in the hash table are for specific tsd entries. These entries are hashed by the product of their key and pid because by design the key and pid are guaranteed to be unique. Their product also has the desirable properly that it will be uniformly distributed over the hash bins providing neither the pid nor key is zero. Under linux the zero pid is always the init process and thus won't be used, and this implementation is careful to never to assign a zero key. By default the hash table is sized to 512 bins which is expected to be sufficient for light to moderate usage of thread specific data. The hash table contains two additional type of entries. They first type is entry is called a 'key' entry and it is added to the hash during tsd_create(). It is used to store the address of the destructor function and it is used as an anchor point. All tsd entries which use the same key will be linked to this entry. This is used during tsd_destory() to quickly call the destructor function for all tsd associated with the key. The 'key' entry may be looked up with tsd_hash_search() by passing the key you wish to lookup and DTOR_PID constant as the pid. The second type of entry is called a 'pid' entry and it is added to the hash the first time a process set a key. The 'pid' entry is also used as an anchor and all tsd for the process will be linked to it. This list is using during tsd_exit() to ensure all registered destructors are run for the process. The 'pid' entry may be looked up with tsd_hash_search() by passing the PID_KEY constant as the key, and the process pid. Note that tsd_exit() is called by thread_exit() so if your using the Solaris thread API you should not need to call tsd_exit() directly.

random_get_pseudo_bytes() need not provide cryptographic strength entropy Perf profiling of dd on a zvol revealed that my system spent 3.16% of its time in random_get_pseudo_bytes(). No SPL consumers need cryptographic strength entropy, so we can reduce our overhead by changing the implementation to utilize a fast PRNG. The Linux kernel did not export a suitable PRNG function until it exported get_random_int() in Linux 3.10. While we could implement an autotools check so that we use it when it is available or even try to access the symbol on older kernels where it is not exported using the fact that it is exported on newer ones as justification, we can instead implement our own pseudo-random data generator. For this purpose, I have written one based on a 128-bit pseudo-random number generator proposed in a paper by Sebastiano Vigna that itself was based on work by the late George Marsaglia. http://vigna.di.unimi.it/ftp/papers/xorshiftplus.pdf Profiling the same benchmark with an earlier variant of this patch that used a slightly different generator (roughly same number of instructions) by the same author showed that time spent in random_get_pseudo_bytes() dropped to 0.06%. That is a factor of 50 improvement. This particular generator algorithm is also well known to be fast: http://xorshift.di.unimi.it/#speed The benchmark numbers there state that it runs at 1.12ns/64-bits or 7.14 GBps of throughput on an Intel Core i7-4770 in what is presumably a single-threaded context. Using it in `random_get_pseudo_bytes()` in the manner I have will probably not reach that level of performance, but it should be fairly high and many times higher than the Linux `get_random_bytes()` function that we use now, which runs at 16.3 MB/s on my Intel Xeon E3-1276v3 processor when measured by using dd on /dev/urandom. Also, putting this generator's seed into per-CPU variables allows us to eliminate overhead from both spin locks and CPU memory barriers, which is NUMA friendly. We could have alternatively modified consumers to use something like `gethrtime() % 3` as suggested by both Matthew Ahrens and Tim Chase, but that has a few potential problems that this approach avoids: 1. Switching to `gethrtime() % 3` in hot code paths today requires diverging from illumos-gate and does nothing about potential future patches from illumos-gate that call our slow `random_get_pseudo_bytes()` in different hot code paths. Reimplementing `random_get_pseudo_bytes()` with a per-CPU PRNG avoids both of those things entirely, which means less work for us in the future. 2. Looking at the code that implements `gethrtime()`, I think it is unlikely to be faster than this per-CPU PRNG implementation of `random_get_pseudo_bytes()`. It would be best to go with something fast now so that there is no point in revisiting this from a performance perspective. 3. `gethrtime() % 3` can vary in behavior from system to system based on kernel version, architecture and clock source. In comparison, this per-CPU PRNG is about ~40 lines of code in `random_get_pseudo_bytes()` that should behave consistently across all systems regardless of kernel version, system architecture or machine clock source. It is unlikely that we would ever need to revisit this per-CPU PRNG while the same cannot be said for `gethrtime() % 3`. 4. `gethrtime()` uses CPU memory barriers and maybe atomic instructions depending on the clock source, so replacing `random_get_pseudo_bytes()` with `gethrtime()` in hot code paths could still require a future person working on NUMA scalability to reimplement it anyway while this per-CPU PRNG would not by virtue of using neither CPU memory barriers nor atomic instructions. Note that I did not check various clock sources for the presence of atomic instructions. There is simply too much code to read and given the drawbacks versus this per-cpu PRNG, there is no point in being certain. 5. I have heard of instances where poor quality pseudo-random numbers caused problems for HPC code in ways that took more than a year to identify and were remedied by switching to a higher quality source of pseudo-random numbers. While filesystems are different than HPC code, I do not think it is impossible for us to have instances where poor quality pseudo-random numbers can cause problems. Opting for a well studied PRNG algorithm that passes tests for statistical randomness over changing callers to use `gethrtime() % 3` bypasses the need to think about both whether poor quality pseudo-random numbers can cause problems and the statistical quality of numbers from `gethrtime() % 3`. 6. `gethrtime()` calls `getrawmonotonic()`, which uses seqlocks. This is probably not a huge issue, but anyone using kgdb would never be able to step through a seqlock critical section, which is not a problem either now or with the per-CPU PRNG: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seqlock The only downside that I can see is that this code's memory requirement is O(N) where N is NR_CPUS, versus the current code and `gethrtime() % 3`, which are O(1), but that should not be a problem. The seeds will use 64KB of memory at the high end (i.e `NR_CPU == 4096`) and 16 bytes of memory at the low end (i.e. `NR_CPU == 1`). In either case, we should only use a few hundred bytes of code for text, especially since `spl_rand_jump()` should be inlined into `spl_random_init()`, which should be removed during early boot as part of "Freeing unused kernel memory". In either case, the memory requirements are minuscule.

* Xorshift Pseudo Random Number Generator based on work by Sebastiano Vigna
*
* "Further scramblings of Marsaglia's xorshift generators"
* http://vigna.di.unimi.it/ftp/papers/xorshiftplus.pdf
*
* random_get_pseudo_bytes() is an API function on Illumos whose sole purpose
* is to provide bytes containing random numbers. It is mapped to /dev/urandom
* on Illumos, which uses a "FIPS 186-2 algorithm". No user of the SPL's
* random_get_pseudo_bytes() needs bytes that are of cryptographic quality, so
* we can implement it using a fast PRNG that we seed using Linux' actual
* equivalent to random_get_pseudo_bytes(). We do this by providing each CPU
* with an independent seed so that all calls to random_get_pseudo_bytes() are
* free of atomic instructions.
*
* A consequence of using a fast PRNG is that using random_get_pseudo_bytes()
* to generate words larger than 128 bits will paradoxically be limited to
* `2^128 - 1` possibilities. This is because we have a sequence of `2^128 - 1`
* 128-bit words and selecting the first will implicitly select the second. If
* a caller finds this behavior undesireable, random_get_bytes() should be used
* instead.
*
* XXX: Linux interrupt handlers that trigger within the critical section
* formed by `s[1] = xp[1];` and `xp[0] = s[0];` and call this function will
* see the same numbers. Nothing in the code currently calls this in an
* interrupt handler, so this is considered to be okay. If that becomes a
* problem, we could create a set of per-cpu variables for interrupt handlers
* and use them when in_interrupt() from linux/preempt_mask.h evaluates to
* true.

Add __divdi3(), remove __udivdi3() kernel dependency Up until now no SPL consumer attempted to perform signed 64-bit division so there was no need to support this. That has now changed so I adding 64-bit division support for 32-bit platforms. The signed implementation is based on the unsigned version. Since the have been several bug reports in the past concerning correct 64-bit division on 32-bit platforms I added some long over due regression tests. Much to my surprise the unsigned 64-bit division regression tests failed. This was surprising because __udivdi3() was implemented by simply calling div64_u64() which is provided by the kernel. This meant that the linux kernels 64-bit division algorithm on 32-bit platforms was flawed. After some investigation this turned out to be exactly the case. Because of this I was forced to abandon the kernel helper and instead to fully implement 64-bit division in the spl. There are several published implementation out there on how to do this properly and I settled on one proposed in the book Hacker's Delight. Their proposed algoritm is freely available without restriction and I have just modified it to be linux kernel friendly. The update implementation now passed all the unsigned and signed regression tests. This should be functional, but not fast, which is good enough for out purposes. If you want fast too I'd strongly suggest you upgrade to a 64-bit platform. I have also reported the kernel bug and we'll see if we can't get it fixed up stream.

Reimplement rwlocks for Linux lock profiling/analysis. It turns out that the previous rwlock implementation worked well but did not integrate properly with the upstream kernel lock profiling/ analysis tools. This is a major problem since it would be awfully nice to be able to use the automatic lock checker and profiler. The problem is that the upstream lock tools use the pre-processor to create a lock class for each uniquely named locked. Since the rwsem was embedded in a wrapper structure the name was always the same. The effect was that we only ended up with one lock class for the entire SPL which caused the lock dependency checker to flag nearly everything as a possible deadlock. The solution was to directly map a krwlock to a Linux rwsem using a typedef there by eliminating the wrapper structure. This was not done initially because the rwsem implementation is specific to the arch. To fully implement the Solaris krwlock API using only the provided rwsem API is not possible. It can only be done by directly accessing some of the internal data member of the rwsem structure. For example, the Linux API provides a different function for dropping a reader vs writer lock. Whereas the Solaris API uses the same function and the caller does not pass in what type of lock it is. This means to properly drop the lock we need to determine if the lock is currently a reader or writer lock. Then we need to call the proper Linux API function. Unfortunately, there is no provided API for this so we must extracted this information directly from arch specific lock implementation. This is all do able, and what I did, but it does complicate things considerably. The good news is that in addition to the profiling benefits of this change. We may see performance improvements due to slightly reduced overhead when creating rwlocks and manipulating them. The only function I was forced to sacrafice was rw_owner() because this information is simply not stored anywhere in the rwsem. Luckily this appears not to be a commonly used function on Solaris, and it is my understanding it is mainly used for debugging anyway. In addition to the core rwlock changes, extensive updates were made to the rwlock regression tests. Each class of test was extended to provide more API coverage and to be more rigerous in checking for misbehavior. This is a pretty significant change and with that in mind I have been careful to validate it on several platforms before committing. The full SPLAT regression test suite was run numberous times on all of the following platforms. This includes various kernels ranging from 2.6.16 to 2.6.29. - SLES10 (ppc64) - SLES11 (x86_64) - CHAOS4.2 (x86_64) - RHEL5.3 (x86_64) - RHEL6 (x86_64) - FC11 (x86_64)

random_get_pseudo_bytes() need not provide cryptographic strength entropy Perf profiling of dd on a zvol revealed that my system spent 3.16% of its time in random_get_pseudo_bytes(). No SPL consumers need cryptographic strength entropy, so we can reduce our overhead by changing the implementation to utilize a fast PRNG. The Linux kernel did not export a suitable PRNG function until it exported get_random_int() in Linux 3.10. While we could implement an autotools check so that we use it when it is available or even try to access the symbol on older kernels where it is not exported using the fact that it is exported on newer ones as justification, we can instead implement our own pseudo-random data generator. For this purpose, I have written one based on a 128-bit pseudo-random number generator proposed in a paper by Sebastiano Vigna that itself was based on work by the late George Marsaglia. http://vigna.di.unimi.it/ftp/papers/xorshiftplus.pdf Profiling the same benchmark with an earlier variant of this patch that used a slightly different generator (roughly same number of instructions) by the same author showed that time spent in random_get_pseudo_bytes() dropped to 0.06%. That is a factor of 50 improvement. This particular generator algorithm is also well known to be fast: http://xorshift.di.unimi.it/#speed The benchmark numbers there state that it runs at 1.12ns/64-bits or 7.14 GBps of throughput on an Intel Core i7-4770 in what is presumably a single-threaded context. Using it in `random_get_pseudo_bytes()` in the manner I have will probably not reach that level of performance, but it should be fairly high and many times higher than the Linux `get_random_bytes()` function that we use now, which runs at 16.3 MB/s on my Intel Xeon E3-1276v3 processor when measured by using dd on /dev/urandom. Also, putting this generator's seed into per-CPU variables allows us to eliminate overhead from both spin locks and CPU memory barriers, which is NUMA friendly. We could have alternatively modified consumers to use something like `gethrtime() % 3` as suggested by both Matthew Ahrens and Tim Chase, but that has a few potential problems that this approach avoids: 1. Switching to `gethrtime() % 3` in hot code paths today requires diverging from illumos-gate and does nothing about potential future patches from illumos-gate that call our slow `random_get_pseudo_bytes()` in different hot code paths. Reimplementing `random_get_pseudo_bytes()` with a per-CPU PRNG avoids both of those things entirely, which means less work for us in the future. 2. Looking at the code that implements `gethrtime()`, I think it is unlikely to be faster than this per-CPU PRNG implementation of `random_get_pseudo_bytes()`. It would be best to go with something fast now so that there is no point in revisiting this from a performance perspective. 3. `gethrtime() % 3` can vary in behavior from system to system based on kernel version, architecture and clock source. In comparison, this per-CPU PRNG is about ~40 lines of code in `random_get_pseudo_bytes()` that should behave consistently across all systems regardless of kernel version, system architecture or machine clock source. It is unlikely that we would ever need to revisit this per-CPU PRNG while the same cannot be said for `gethrtime() % 3`. 4. `gethrtime()` uses CPU memory barriers and maybe atomic instructions depending on the clock source, so replacing `random_get_pseudo_bytes()` with `gethrtime()` in hot code paths could still require a future person working on NUMA scalability to reimplement it anyway while this per-CPU PRNG would not by virtue of using neither CPU memory barriers nor atomic instructions. Note that I did not check various clock sources for the presence of atomic instructions. There is simply too much code to read and given the drawbacks versus this per-cpu PRNG, there is no point in being certain. 5. I have heard of instances where poor quality pseudo-random numbers caused problems for HPC code in ways that took more than a year to identify and were remedied by switching to a higher quality source of pseudo-random numbers. While filesystems are different than HPC code, I do not think it is impossible for us to have instances where poor quality pseudo-random numbers can cause problems. Opting for a well studied PRNG algorithm that passes tests for statistical randomness over changing callers to use `gethrtime() % 3` bypasses the need to think about both whether poor quality pseudo-random numbers can cause problems and the statistical quality of numbers from `gethrtime() % 3`. 6. `gethrtime()` calls `getrawmonotonic()`, which uses seqlocks. This is probably not a huge issue, but anyone using kgdb would never be able to step through a seqlock critical section, which is not a problem either now or with the per-CPU PRNG: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seqlock The only downside that I can see is that this code's memory requirement is O(N) where N is NR_CPUS, versus the current code and `gethrtime() % 3`, which are O(1), but that should not be a problem. The seeds will use 64KB of memory at the high end (i.e `NR_CPU == 4096`) and 16 bytes of memory at the low end (i.e. `NR_CPU == 1`). In either case, we should only use a few hundred bytes of code for text, especially since `spl_rand_jump()` should be inlined into `spl_random_init()`, which should be removed during early boot as part of "Freeing unused kernel memory". In either case, the memory requirements are minuscule.

random_get_pseudo_bytes() need not provide cryptographic strength entropy Perf profiling of dd on a zvol revealed that my system spent 3.16% of its time in random_get_pseudo_bytes(). No SPL consumers need cryptographic strength entropy, so we can reduce our overhead by changing the implementation to utilize a fast PRNG. The Linux kernel did not export a suitable PRNG function until it exported get_random_int() in Linux 3.10. While we could implement an autotools check so that we use it when it is available or even try to access the symbol on older kernels where it is not exported using the fact that it is exported on newer ones as justification, we can instead implement our own pseudo-random data generator. For this purpose, I have written one based on a 128-bit pseudo-random number generator proposed in a paper by Sebastiano Vigna that itself was based on work by the late George Marsaglia. http://vigna.di.unimi.it/ftp/papers/xorshiftplus.pdf Profiling the same benchmark with an earlier variant of this patch that used a slightly different generator (roughly same number of instructions) by the same author showed that time spent in random_get_pseudo_bytes() dropped to 0.06%. That is a factor of 50 improvement. This particular generator algorithm is also well known to be fast: http://xorshift.di.unimi.it/#speed The benchmark numbers there state that it runs at 1.12ns/64-bits or 7.14 GBps of throughput on an Intel Core i7-4770 in what is presumably a single-threaded context. Using it in `random_get_pseudo_bytes()` in the manner I have will probably not reach that level of performance, but it should be fairly high and many times higher than the Linux `get_random_bytes()` function that we use now, which runs at 16.3 MB/s on my Intel Xeon E3-1276v3 processor when measured by using dd on /dev/urandom. Also, putting this generator's seed into per-CPU variables allows us to eliminate overhead from both spin locks and CPU memory barriers, which is NUMA friendly. We could have alternatively modified consumers to use something like `gethrtime() % 3` as suggested by both Matthew Ahrens and Tim Chase, but that has a few potential problems that this approach avoids: 1. Switching to `gethrtime() % 3` in hot code paths today requires diverging from illumos-gate and does nothing about potential future patches from illumos-gate that call our slow `random_get_pseudo_bytes()` in different hot code paths. Reimplementing `random_get_pseudo_bytes()` with a per-CPU PRNG avoids both of those things entirely, which means less work for us in the future. 2. Looking at the code that implements `gethrtime()`, I think it is unlikely to be faster than this per-CPU PRNG implementation of `random_get_pseudo_bytes()`. It would be best to go with something fast now so that there is no point in revisiting this from a performance perspective. 3. `gethrtime() % 3` can vary in behavior from system to system based on kernel version, architecture and clock source. In comparison, this per-CPU PRNG is about ~40 lines of code in `random_get_pseudo_bytes()` that should behave consistently across all systems regardless of kernel version, system architecture or machine clock source. It is unlikely that we would ever need to revisit this per-CPU PRNG while the same cannot be said for `gethrtime() % 3`. 4. `gethrtime()` uses CPU memory barriers and maybe atomic instructions depending on the clock source, so replacing `random_get_pseudo_bytes()` with `gethrtime()` in hot code paths could still require a future person working on NUMA scalability to reimplement it anyway while this per-CPU PRNG would not by virtue of using neither CPU memory barriers nor atomic instructions.

Update rwlocks to track owner to ensure correct semantics The behavior of RW_*_HELD was updated because it was not quite right. It is not sufficient to return non-zero when the lock is help, we must only do this when the current task in the holder. This means we need to track the lock owner which is not something tracked in a Linux semaphore. After some experimentation the solution I settled on was to embed the Linux semaphore at the start of a larger krwlock_t structure which includes the owner field. This maintains good performance and allows us to cleanly intergrate with the kernel lock analysis tools. My reasons: 1) By placing the Linux semaphore at the start of krwlock_t we can then simply cast krwlock_t to a rw_semaphore and pass that on to the linux kernel. This allows us to use '#defines so the preprocessor can do direct replacement of the Solaris primative with the linux equivilant. This is important because it then maintains the location information for each rw_* call point. 2) Additionally, by adding the owner to krwlock_t we can keep this needed extra information adjacent to the lock itself. This removes the need for a fancy lookup to get the owner which is optimal for performance. We can also leverage the existing spin lock in the semaphore to ensure owner is updated correctly. 3) All helper functions which do not need to strictly be implemented as a define to preserve location information can be done as a static inline function. 4) Adding the owner to krwlock_t allows us to remove all memory allocations done during lock initialization. This is good for all the obvious reasons, we do give up the ability to specific the lock name. The Linux profiling tools will stringify the lock name used in the code via the preprocessor and use that.

Add Thread Specific Data (TSD) Implementation Thread specific data has implemented using a hash table, this avoids the need to add a member to the task structure and allows maximum portability between kernels. This implementation has been optimized to keep the tsd_set() and tsd_get() times as small as possible. The majority of the entries in the hash table are for specific tsd entries. These entries are hashed by the product of their key and pid because by design the key and pid are guaranteed to be unique. Their product also has the desirable properly that it will be uniformly distributed over the hash bins providing neither the pid nor key is zero. Under linux the zero pid is always the init process and thus won't be used, and this implementation is careful to never to assign a zero key. By default the hash table is sized to 512 bins which is expected to be sufficient for light to moderate usage of thread specific data. The hash table contains two additional type of entries. They first type is entry is called a 'key' entry and it is added to the hash during tsd_create(). It is used to store the address of the destructor function and it is used as an anchor point. All tsd entries which use the same key will be linked to this entry. This is used during tsd_destory() to quickly call the destructor function for all tsd associated with the key. The 'key' entry may be looked up with tsd_hash_search() by passing the key you wish to lookup and DTOR_PID constant as the pid. The second type of entry is called a 'pid' entry and it is added to the hash the first time a process set a key. The 'pid' entry is also used as an anchor and all tsd for the process will be linked to it. This list is using during tsd_exit() to ensure all registered destructors are run for the process. The 'pid' entry may be looked up with tsd_hash_search() by passing the PID_KEY constant as the key, and the process pid. Note that tsd_exit() is called by thread_exit() so if your using the Solaris thread API you should not need to call tsd_exit() directly.

The Linux profiling tools will stringify the lock name used in the code via the preprocessor and use that. Update rwlocks validated on: - SLES10 (ppc64) - SLES11 (x86_64) - CHAOS4.2 (x86_64) - RHEL5.3 (x86_64) - RHEL6 (x86_64) - FC11 (x86_64)
