x86, ticketlock: Add slowpath logic
Maintain a flag in the LSB of the ticket lock tail which indicates
whether anyone is in the lock slowpath and may need kicking when
the current holder unlocks. The flags are set when the first locker
enters the slowpath, and cleared when unlocking to an empty queue (ie,
no contention).
In the specific implementation of lock_spinning(), make sure to set
the slowpath flags on the lock just before blocking. We must do
this before the last-chance pickup test to prevent a deadlock
with the unlocker:
Unlocker Locker
test for lock pickup
-> fail
unlock
test slowpath
-> false
set slowpath flags
block
Whereas this works in any ordering:
Unlocker Locker
set slowpath flags
test for lock pickup
-> fail
block
unlock
test slowpath
-> true, kick
If the unlocker finds that the lock has the slowpath flag set but it is
actually uncontended (ie, head == tail, so nobody is waiting), then it
clears the slowpath flag.
The unlock code uses a locked add to update the head counter. This also
acts as a full memory barrier so that its safe to subsequently
read back the slowflag state, knowing that the updated lock is visible
to the other CPUs. If it were an unlocked add, then the flag read may
just be forwarded from the store buffer before it was visible to the other
CPUs, which could result in a deadlock.
Unfortunately this means we need to do a locked instruction when
unlocking with PV ticketlocks. However, if PV ticketlocks are not
enabled, then the old non-locked "add" is the only unlocking code.
Note: this code relies on gcc making sure that unlikely() code is out of
line of the fastpath, which only happens when OPTIMIZE_SIZE=n. If it
doesn't the generated code isn't too bad, but its definitely suboptimal.
Thanks to Srivatsa Vaddagiri for providing a bugfix to the original
version of this change, which has been folded in.
Thanks to Stephan Diestelhorst for commenting on some code which relied
on an inaccurate reading of the x86 memory ordering rules.

x86, spinlock: Replace pv spinlocks with pv ticketlocks
Rather than outright replacing the entire spinlock implementation in
order to paravirtualize it, keep the ticket lock implementation but add
a couple of pvops hooks on the slow patch (long spin on lock, unlocking
a contended lock).
Ticket locks have a number of nice properties, but they also have some
surprising behaviours in virtual environments. They enforce a strict
FIFO ordering on cpus trying to take a lock; however, if the hypervisor
scheduler does not schedule the cpus in the correct order, the system can
waste a huge amount of time spinning until the next cpu can take the lock.
(See Thomas Friebel's talk "Prevent Guests from Spinning Around"
http://www.xen.org/files/xensummitboston08/LHP.pdf for more details.)
To address this, we add two hooks:
- __ticket_spin_lock which is called after the cpu has been
spinning on the lock for a significant number of iterations but has
failed to take the lock (presumably because the cpu holding the lock
has been descheduled). The lock_spinning pvop is expected to block
the cpu until it has been kicked by the current lock holder.
- __ticket_spin_unlock, which on releasing a contended lock
(there are more cpus with tail tickets), it looks to see if the next
cpu is blocked and wakes it if so.
When compiled with CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS disabled, a set of stub
functions causes all the extra code to go away.
