locking/atomic/x86: Introduce arch_sync_try_cmpxchg()
Introduce the arch_sync_try_cmpxchg() macro to improve code using sync_try_cmpxchg() locking primitive. The new definitions use existing __raw_try_cmpxchg() macros, but use its own "lock; " prefix.
The new macros improve assembly of the cmpxchg loop in evtchn_fifo_unmask() from drivers/xen/events/events_fifo.c from:

The new code removes move instructions from 585: 5a6: and 5a9: and the compare from 5ac:. Additionally, the compiler assumes that cmpxchg success is more probable and optimizes code flow accordingly.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

locking/atomic: Fix atomic_try_cmpxchg() semantics
Dmitry noted that the new atomic_try_cmpxchg() primitive is broken when the old pointer doesn't point to the local stack.
He writes:
"Consider a classical lock-free stack push:
node->next = atomic_read(&head); do { } while (!atomic_try_cmpxchg(&head, &node->next, node));
This code is broken with the current implementation, the problem is with unconditional update of *__po.
In case of success it writes the same value back into *__po, but in case of cmpxchg success we might have lose ownership of some memory locations and potentially over what __po has pointed to. The same holds for the re-read of *__po. "
He also points out that this makes it surprisingly different from the similar C/C++ atomic operation.
After investigating the code-gen differences caused by this patch; and a number of alternatives (Linus dislikes this interface lots), we arrived at these results (size x86_64-defconfig/vmlinux):
GCC-6.3.0:
10735757 cmpxchg 10726413 try_cmpxchg 10730509 try_cmpxchg + patch 10730445 try_cmpxchg-linus
GCC-7 (20170327):
10709514 cmpxchg 10704266 try_cmpxchg 10704266 try_cmpxchg + patch 10704394 try_cmpxchg-linus
From this we see that the patch has the advantage of better code-gen on GCC-7 and keeps the interface roughly consistent with the C language variant.

Where the boolean returns the result of the compare; and thus if the exchange happened; and in case of failure, the new value of *ptr is returned in *val.
This allows simplification/improvement of loops like:
for (;;) { new = val $op $imm; old = cmpxchg(ptr, val, new); if (old == val) break; val = old; }
into:
do { } while (!try_cmpxchg(ptr, &val, val $op $imm));
while also generating better code (GCC6 and onwards).

x86: Simplify __HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG tests
Both the 32-bit and 64-bit cmpxchg.h header define __HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG and there's ifdeffery which checks it. But since both bitness define it, we can just as well move it up to the main cmpxchg header and simpify a bit of code in doing that.

Similar to:

... the __add() macro also needs to use a "q" constraint in the byte-sized case, lest we try to generate an illegal register.

x86: Properly parenthesize cmpxchg() macro arguments
Quite oddly, all of the arguments passed through from the top level macros to the second level which didn't need parentheses had them, while the only expression (involving a parameter) needing them didn't.
Very recently I got bitten by the lack thereof when using something like "array + index" for the first operand, with "array" being an array more narrow than int.

x86: Fix and improve cmpxchg_double{,_local}()
Just like the per-CPU ones they had several problems/shortcomings:
Only the first memory operand was mentioned in the asm() operands, and the 2x64-bit version didn't have a memory clobber while the 2x32-bit one did. The former allowed the compiler to not recognize the need to re-load the data in case it had it cached in some register, while the latter was overly destructive.
The types of the local copies of the old and new values were incorrect (the types of the pointed-to variables should be used here, to make sure the respective old/new variable types are compatible).
The __dummy/__junk variables were pointless, given that local copies of the inputs already existed (and can hence be used for discarded outputs).
The 32-bit variant of cmpxchg_double_local() referenced cmpxchg16b_local().
At once also:
- change the return value type to what it really is: 'bool' - unify 32- and 64-bit variants - abstract out the common part of the 'normal' and 'local' variants
