powerpc/bpf: enforce full ordering for ATOMIC operations with BPF_FETCH
The Linux Kernel Memory Model [1][2] requires RMW operations that have a
return value to be fully ordered.
BPF atomic operations with BPF_FETCH (including BPF_XCHG and
BPF_CMPXCHG) return a value back so they need to be JITed to fully
ordered operations. POWERPC currently emits relaxed operations for
these.
We can show this by running the following litmus-test:
PPC SB+atomic_add+fetch
{
0:r0=x; (* dst reg assuming offset is 0 *)
0:r1=2; (* src reg *)
0:r2=1;
0:r4=y; (* P0 writes to this, P1 reads this *)
0:r5=z; (* P1 writes to this, P0 reads this *)
0:r6=0;
1:r2=1;
1:r4=y;
1:r5=z;
}
P0 | P1 ;
stw r2, 0(r4) | stw r2,0(r5) ;
| ;
loop:lwarx r3, r6, r0 | ;
mr r8, r3 | ;
add r3, r3, r1 | sync ;
stwcx. r3, r6, r0 | ;
bne loop | ;
mr r1, r8 | ;
| ;
lwa r7, 0(r5) | lwa r7,0(r4) ;
~exists(0:r7=0 /\ 1:r7=0)
Witnesses
Positive: 9 Negative: 3
Condition ~exists (0:r7=0 /\ 1:r7=0)
Observation SB+atomic_add+fetch Sometimes 3 9
This test shows that the older store in P0 is reordered with a newer
load to a different address. Although there is a RMW operation with
fetch between them. Adding a sync before and after RMW fixes the issue:
Witnesses
Positive: 9 Negative: 0
Condition ~exists (0:r7=0 /\ 1:r7=0)
Observation SB+atomic_add+fetch Never 0 9
