This patchset is based on Google-internal RSEQ work done by Paul Turner and Andrew Hunter.
When working with per-CPU RSEQ-based memory allocations, it is sometimes important to make sure that a global memory location is no longer accessed from RSEQ critical sections. For example, there can be two per-CPU lists, one is "active" and accessed per-CPU, while another one is inactive and worked on asynchronously "off CPU" (e.g. garbage collection is performed). Then at some point the two lists are swapped, and a fast RCU-like mechanism is required to make sure that the previously active list is no longer accessed. This patch introduces such a mechanism: in short, membarrier() syscall issues an IPI to a CPU, restarting a potentially active RSEQ critical section on the CPU. v1->v2: - removed the ability to IPI all CPUs in a single sycall; - use task->mm rather than task->group_leader to identify tasks belonging to the same process. v2->v3: - re-added the ability to IPI all CPUs in a single syscall; - integrated with membarrier_private_expedited() to make sure only CPUs running tasks with the same mm as the current task are interrupted; - also added MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_RSEQ; - flags in membarrier_private_expedited are never actually bit flags but always distinct values (i.e. never two flags are combined), so I modified bit testing to full equation comparison for simplicity (otherwise the code needs to work when several bits are set, for example). v3->v4: - added the third parameter to membarrier syscall: @cpu_id: if @flags == MEMBARRIER_CMD_FLAG_CPU, then @cpu_id indicates the cpu on which RSEQ CS should be restarted. The second patch in the patchset adds a selftest of this feature.
