tools/memory-model: Fix bug in lock.cat
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().
