From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

parisc, ia64 and powerpc32 are the only remaining architectures that
provide custom arch_{spin,read,write}_lock_flags() functions, which are
meant to re-enable interrupts while waiting for a spinlock.

However, none of these can actually run into this codepath, because
it is only called on architectures without CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK,
or when CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is set without CONFIG_LOCKDEP, and none
of those combinations are possible on the three architectures.

Going back in the git history, it appears that arch/mn10300 may have
been able to run into this code path, but there is a good chance that
it never worked. On the architectures that still exist, it was
already impossible to hit back in 2008 after the introduction of
CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and possibly earlier.

As this is all dead code, just remove it and the helper functions built
around it. For arch/ia64, the inline asm could be cleaned up, but
it seems safer to leave it untouched.

Does that mean we can also remove the GENERIC_LOCKBREAK config option 
from the Kconfig files as well?

 I couldn't figure this out.

What I see is that the only architectures setting GENERIC_LOCKBREAK are
nds32, parisc, powerpc, s390, sh and sparc64, while the only architectures
implementing arch_spin_is_contended() are arm32, csky and ia64.

The part I don't understand is whether the option actually does anything
useful any more after commit d89c70356acf ("locking/core: Remove break_lock
field when CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK=y").

Urgh, what a mess.. AFAICT there's still code in
kernel/locking/spinlock.c that relies on it. Specifically when
GENERIC_LOCKBREAK=y we seem to create _lock*() variants that are
basically TaS locks which drop preempt/irq disable while spinning.

Anybody having this on and not having native TaS locks is in for a rude
surprise I suppose... sparc64 being the obvious candidate there :/

Something like the *totally*untested* patch below would rip it all out.

Is this a problem on s390 and powerpc, those two being the ones
that matter in practice?

On s390, we pick between the cmpxchg() based directed-yield when
running on virtualized CPUs, and a normal qspinlock when running on a
dedicated CPU.

On PowerPC, we pick at compile-time between either the qspinlock
(default-enabled on Book3S-64, i.e. all server chips) or a ll/sc based
spinlock plus vm_yield() (default on embedded and 32-bit mac).

Urgh, yeah, so this crud undermines the whole point of having a fair
lock. I'm thinking s390 and Power want to have this fixed.

I am not aware that s390 is using qspinlocks at all as I don't see 
ARCH_USE_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS being set anywhere under arch/s390. I only see 
that it uses a cmpxchg based spinlock.

Sorry, I should not have said "normal" here. See arch/s390/lib/spinlock.c
for their custom queued spinlocks as implemented in arch_spin_lock_queued().
I don't know if that code actually does the same thing as the generic qspinlock,
but it seems at least similar.

Yes, you are right. Their queued lock code looks like a custom version 
of the pvqspinlock code.

Our Kconfig has:

  config GENERIC_LOCKBREAK
  	bool
  	default y
  	depends on SMP && PREEMPTION

And we have exactly one defconfig that enables both SMP and PREEMPT,
arch/powerpc/configs/85xx/ge_imp3a_defconfig, which is some ~10 year old
PCI card embedded thing I've never heard of. High chance anyone who has
those is not running upstream kernels on them.

So I think we'd be happy for you rip GENERIC_LOCKBREAK out, it's almost
entirely unused on powerpc anyway.
