Pull bpf relisient spinlock support from Alexei Starovoitov:
"This patch set introduces Resilient Queued Spin Lock (or rqspinlock
with res_spin_lock() and res_spin_unlock() APIs).
This is a qspinlock variant which recovers the kernel from a stalled
state when the lock acquisition path cannot make forward progress.
This can occur when a lock acquisition attempt enters a deadlock
situation (e.g. AA, or ABBA), or more generally, when the owner of the
lock (which we’re trying to acquire) isn’t making forward progress.
Deadlock detection is the main mechanism used to provide instant
recovery, with the timeout mechanism acting as a final line of
defense. Detection is triggered immediately when beginning the waiting
loop of a lock slow path.
Additionally, BPF programs attached to different parts of the kernel
can introduce new control flow into the kernel, which increases the
likelihood of deadlocks in code not written to handle reentrancy.
There have been multiple syzbot reports surfacing deadlocks in
internal kernel code due to the diverse ways in which BPF programs can
be attached to different parts of the kernel. By switching the BPF
subsystem’s lock usage to rqspinlock, all of these issues are
mitigated at runtime.
This spin lock implementation allows BPF maps to become safer and
remove mechanisms that have fallen short in assuring safety when
nesting programs in arbitrary ways in the same context or across
different contexts.
We run benchmarks that stress locking scalability and perform
comparison against the baseline (qspinlock). For the rqspinlock case,
we replace the default qspinlock with it in the kernel, such that all
spin locks in the kernel use the rqspinlock slow path. As such,
benchmarks that stress kernel spin locks end up exercising rqspinlock.

'resilient-queued-spin-lock'")"
