[PATCH v3 0/2] LoongArch: Add 128-bit atomic cmpxchg support (v3)
Posted by George Guo 5 days, 20 hours ago
This patch series adds 128-bit atomic compare-and-exchange support for
LoongArch architecture, which fixes BPF scheduler test failures caused
by missing 128-bit atomics support.

The series consists of two patches:

1. "LoongArch: Add 128-bit atomic cmpxchg support"
   - Implements 128-bit atomic compare-and-exchange using LoongArch's
     LL.D/SC.Q instructions
   - Fixes BPF scheduler test failures (scx_central scx_qmap) where
     kmalloc_nolock_noprof returns NULL due to missing 128-bit atomics,
     leading to -ENOMEM errors during scheduler initialization

2. "LoongArch: Enable 128-bit atomics cmpxchg support"
   - Adds select HAVE_CMPXCHG_DOUBLE and select HAVE_ALIGNED_STRUCT_PAGE
     in Kconfig to enable 128-bit atomic cmpxchg support

The issue was identified through BPF scheduler test failures where
scx_central and scx_qmap schedulers would fail to initialize. Testing
was performed using the scx_qmap scheduler from tools/sched_ext/,
confirming that the patches resolve the initialization failures.

Changes in v3:
- dbar 0 -> __WEAK_LLSC_MB
- =ZB" (__ptr[0]) -> "r" (__ptr)
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251124-2-v2-0-b38216e25fd9@linux.dev

Changes in v2:
- Use a normal ld.d for the high word instead of ll.d to avoid race
  condition
- Insert a dbar between ll.d and ld.d to prevent reordering
- Simply __cmpxchg128_asm("ll.d", "sc.q", ptr, o, n) to __cmpxchg128_asm(ptr, o, n)
- Fix address operand constraints after testing different approaches:
  * ld.d with "m"
  * ll.d with "ZC",
  * sc.q with "ZB"(alternative constraints caused issues:
   - "r"  caused system hang
   - "ZC" caused compiler error:
     {standard input}: Assembler messages:
     {standard input}:10037: Fatal error: Immediate overflow.
     format: u0:0 )

This kmalloc_nolock_noprof() was introduced in v6.18-rc1 and has no
caller for now.
Why is this related to the sched_ext failure ?

Hi Hengqi,

When running scx_central, function call chain as below:
central_init->bpf_timer_init->__bpf_async_init->bpf_map_kmalloc_nolock->kmalloc_nolock
->kmalloc_nolock_noprof

The function kmalloc_nolock_noprof returns NULL due to the following
condition:

if (!(s->flags & __CMPXCHG_DOUBLE) && !kmem_cache_debug(s))
        /*
         * kmalloc_nolock() is not supported on architectures that
         * don't implement cmpxchg16b, but debug caches don't use
         * per-cpu slab and per-cpu partial slabs. They rely on
         * kmem_cache_node->list_lock, so kmalloc_nolock() can
         * attempt to allocate from debug caches by
         * spin_trylock_irqsave(&n->list_lock, ...)
         */
        return NULL;

The NULL return occurs because kmalloc_nolock is not supported on
Loongarch, which don't implement cmpxchg16b. So I am giving the patch.

Also I tried with debug caches(CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON=y), it works,
but not a good idea.

OK, it does have a caller in rc-2 [1].

Thanks, will test this series.

I tried with qemu, but it seems the kernel can't even boot.

Have you tested your code on Loongson-3A5000/3C5000?
