Not all annotated accesses provide the semantics their syntactic tags
would imply. For example, an 'acquire tag on a write does not imply that
the write is finally in the Acquire set and provides acquire ordering.
To distinguish in those cases between the syntactic tags and actual
sets, we capitalize the former, so 'ACQUIRE tags may be present on both
reads and writes, but only reads will appear in the Acquire set.
For tags where the two concepts are the same we do not use specific
capitalization to make this distinction.

A new version of herd7 provides a -lkmmv2 switch which overrides the old herd7
behavior of simply ignoring any softcoded tags in the .def and .bell files. We
port LKMM to this version of herd7 by providing the switch in linux-kernel.cfg
and reporting an error if the LKMM is used without this switch.
To preserve the semantics of LKMM, we also softcode the Noreturn tag on atomic
RMW which do not return a value and define atomic_add_unless with an Mb tag in
linux-kernel.def.
We update the herd-representation.txt accordingly and clarify some of the
resulting combinations.

Herd7 transforms successful RMW with Mb tags by inserting smp_mb() fences
around them. We emulate this by considering imaginary po-edges before the
RMW read and before the RMW write, and extending the smp_mb() ordering
rule, which currently only applies to real po edges that would be found
around a really inserted smp_mb(), also to cases of the only imagined po
edges.

Herd7 transforms reads, writes, and read-modify-writes by eliminating
'acquire tags from writes, 'release tags from reads, and 'acquire,
'release, and 'mb tags from failed read-modify-writes. We emulate this
behavior by redefining Acquire, Release, and Mb sets in linux-kernel.bell
to explicitly exclude those combinations.
Herd7 furthermore adds 'noreturn tag to certain reads. Currently herd7
does not allow specifying the 'noreturn tag manually, but such manual
declaration (e.g., through a syntax __atomic_op{noreturn}) would add
invalid 'noreturn tags to writes; in preparation, we already also exclude
this combination.

The current macros in linux-kernel.def reference instructions such as
__xchg{mb} or __cmpxchg{acquire}, which are invalid combinations of tags
and instructions according to the declarations in linux-kernel.bell.
This works with current herd7 because herd7 removes these tags anyways
and does not actually enforce validity of combinations at all.
If a future herd7 version no longer applies these hardcoded
transformations, then all currently invalid combinations will actually
appear on some instruction.
We therefore adjust the declarations to make the resulting combinations
valid, by adding the 'mb tag to the set of Accesses and allowing all
Accesses to appear on all read, write, and RMW instructions.

The Linux-kernel memory model (LKMM) source code and the herd7 tool are
closely linked in that the latter is responsible for (pre)processing
each C-like macro of a litmus test, and for providing the LKMM with a
set of events, or "representation", corresponding to the given macro.
This commit therefore provides herd-representation.txt to document
the representations of the concurrency macros, following their
"classification" in Documentation/atomic_t.txt.

Andrea reported that the following innocuous litmus test:
C T
{}
P0(spinlock_t *x)
{
int r0;
spin_lock(x);
spin_unlock(x);
r0 = spin_is_locked(x);
}
gives rise to a nonsensical empty result with no executions:
$ herd7 -conf linux-kernel.cfg T.litmus
Test T Required
States 0
Ok
Witnesses
Positive: 0 Negative: 0
Condition forall (true)
Observation T Never 0 0
Time T 0.00
Hash=6fa204e139ddddf2cb6fa963bad117c0
The problem is caused by a bug in the lock.cat part of the LKMM. Its
computation of the rf relation for RU (read-unlocked) events is
faulty; it implicitly assumes that every RU event must read from
either a UL (unlock) event in another thread or from the lock's
initial state. Neither is true in the litmus test above, so the
computation yields no possible executions.
The lock.cat code tries to make up for this deficiency by allowing RU
events outside of critical sections to read from the last po-previous
UL event. But it does this incorrectly, trying to keep these rfi links
separate from the rfe links that might also be needed, and passing only
the latter to herd7's cross() macro.
The problem is fixed by merging the two sets of possible rf links for
RU events and using them all in the call to cross().

Although the data_race() kerneldoc header accurately states what it does,
some of the implications and usage patterns are non-obvious. Therefore,
add a brief locking example and also state how to have KCSAN ignore
accesses while also preventing the compiler from folding, spindling,
or otherwise mutilating the access.

Litmus tests involving atomic operations produce LL/SC loops on a number
of architectures, and unrolling these loops can result in excessive
verification times or even stack overflows. This commit therefore uses
the "-unroll 0" herd7 argument to avoid unrolling, on the grounds that
additional passes through an LL/SC loop should not change the verification.
Note however, that certain bugs in the mapping of the LL/SC loop to
machine instructions may go undetected. On the other hand, herd7 might
not be the best vehicle for finding such bugs in any case. (You do
stress-test your architecture-specific code, don't you?)

This commit adds functionality to judgelitmus.sh to allow it to handle
both the "DATARACE" markers in the "Result:" comments in litmus tests
and the "Flag data-race" markers in LKMM output. For C-language tests,
if either marker is present, the other must also be as well, at least for
litmus tests having a "Result:" comment. If the LKMM output indicates
a data race, then failures of the Always/Sometimes/Never portion of the
"Result:" prediction are forgiven.
The reason for forgiving "Result:" mispredictions is that data races can
result in "interesting" compiler optimizations, so that all bets are off
in the data-race case.

This commit makes the judgelitmus.sh script check the --hw argument
(AKA the LKMM_HW_MAP_FILE environment variable) and to adjust its
judgment for a run where a C-language litmus test has been translated to
assembly and the assembly version verified. In this case, the assembly
verification output is checked against the C-language script's "Result:"
comment. However, because hardware can be stronger than LKMM requires,
the judgelitmus.sh script forgives verification mismatches featuring
a "Sometimes" in the C-language script and an "Always" or "Never"
assembly-language verification.
Note that deadlock is not forgiven, however, this should not normally be
an issue given that C-language tests containing locking, RCU, or SRCU
cannot be translated to assembly. However, this issue can crop up in
litmus tests that mimic deadlock by using the "filter" clause to ignore
all executions. It can also crop up when certain herd arguments are
used to autofilter everything that does not match the "exists" clause
in cases where the "exists" clause cannot be satisfied.

This commit adds a --hw argument to parseargs.sh to specify the CPU
family for a hardware verification. For example, "--hw AArch64" will
specify that a C-language litmus test is to be translated to ARMv8 and
the result verified. This will set the LKMM_HW_MAP_FILE environment
variable accordingly. If there is no --hw argument, this environment
variable will be set to the empty string.

If a litmus test specifies "Result: Never" and if it contains an
unconditional ("hard") deadlock, then running checklitmus.sh on it will
not flag any errors, despite the fact that there are no executions.
This commit therefore updates judgelitmus.sh to complain about tests
with no executions that are marked, but not as "Result: DEADLOCK".

Currently, judgelitmus.sh treats use of unknown primitives (such as
srcu_read_lock() prior to SRCU support) as "!!! Verification error".
This can be misleading because it fails to call out typos and running
a version LKMM on a litmus test requiring a feature not provided by
that version. This commit therefore changes judgelitmus.sh to check
for unknown primitives and to report them, for example, with:
'!!! Current LKMM version does not know "rcu_write_lock"'.

Currently, cmplitmushist.sh treats timeouts (as in the "--timeout"
argument) as "Missing Observation line". This can be misleading because
it is quite possible that running the test longer would have produced
a verification. This commit therefore changes cmplitmushist.sh to check
for timeouts and to report them with "Timed out".
