Currently, we initialize the osq lock by directly setting the lock's values. It
would be preferable if we use an init macro to do the initialization like we do
with other locks.
This patch introduces and uses a macro and function for initializing the osq lock.

The cancellable MCS spinlock is currently used to queue threads that are
doing optimistic spinning. It uses per-cpu nodes, where a thread obtaining
the lock would access and queue the local node corresponding to the CPU that
it's running on. Currently, the cancellable MCS lock is implemented by using
pointers to these nodes.
In this patch, instead of operating on pointers to the per-cpu nodes, we
store the CPU numbers in which the per-cpu nodes correspond to in atomic_t.
A similar concept is used with the qspinlock.
By operating on the CPU # of the nodes using atomic_t instead of pointers
to those nodes, this can reduce the overhead of the cancellable MCS spinlock
by 32 bits (on 64 bit systems).

Pull x86 LTO changes from Peter Anvin:
"More infrastructure work in preparation for link-time optimization
(LTO). Most of these changes is to make sure symbols accessed from
assembly code are properly marked as visible so the linker doesn't
remove them.
My understanding is that the changes to support LTO are still not
upstream in binutils, but are on the way there. This patchset should
conclude the x86-specific changes, and remaining patches to actually
enable LTO will be fed through the Kbuild tree (other than keeping up
with changes to the x86 code base, of course), although not
necessarily in this merge window"

Various kernel/mutex.c functions can be called from
inline assembler, so they should be all global and
__visible.

OK, so commit:
1d8fe7dc8078 ("locking/mutexes: Unlock the mutex without the wait_lock")
generates this boot warning when CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 139 at /usr/src/linux-2.6/kernel/locking/mutex-debug.c:82 debug_mutex_unlock+0x155/0x180() DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->owner != current)
And that makes sense, because as soon as we release the lock a
new owner can come in...
One would think that !__mutex_slowpath_needs_to_unlock()
implementations suffer the same, but for DEBUG we fall back to
mutex-null.h which has an unconditional 1 for that.
The mutex debug code requires the mutex to be unlocked after
doing the debug checks, otherwise it can find inconsistent
state.

Since we want a task waiting for a mutex_lock() to go to sleep and
reschedule on need_resched() we must be able to abort the
mcs_spin_lock() around the adaptive spin.
Therefore implement a cancelable mcs lock.

When running workloads that have high contention in mutexes on an 8 socket
machine, mutex spinners would often spin for a long time with no lock owner.
The main reason why this is occuring is in __mutex_unlock_common_slowpath(),
if __mutex_slowpath_needs_to_unlock(), then the owner needs to acquire the
mutex->wait_lock before releasing the mutex (setting lock->count to 1). When
the wait_lock is contended, this delays the mutex from being released.
We should be able to release the mutex without holding the wait_lock.

The mutex->spin_mlock was introduced in order to ensure that only 1 thread
spins for lock acquisition at a time to reduce cache line contention. When
lock->owner is NULL and the lock->count is still not 1, the spinner(s) will
continually release and obtain the lock->spin_mlock. This can generate
quite a bit of overhead/contention, and also might just delay the spinner
from getting the lock.
This patch modifies the way optimistic spinners are queued by queuing before
entering the optimistic spinning loop as oppose to acquiring before every
call to mutex_spin_on_owner(). So in situations where the spinner requires
a few extra spins before obtaining the lock, then there will only be 1 spinner
trying to get the lock and it will avoid the overhead from unnecessarily
unlocking and locking the spin_mlock.

mutex_can_spin_on_owner()
The mutex_can_spin_on_owner() function should also return false if the
task needs to be rescheduled to avoid entering the MCS queue when it
needs to reschedule.

The mcs_spinlock code is not meant (or suitable) as a generic locking
primitive, therefore take it away from the normal includes and place
it in kernel/locking/.
This way the locking primitives implemented there can use it as part
of their implementation but we do not risk it getting used
inapropriately.

its own file
We will need the MCS lock code for doing optimistic spinning for rwsem
and queued rwlock. Extracting the MCS code from mutex.c and put into
its own file allow us to reuse this code easily.
We also inline mcs_spin_lock and mcs_spin_unlock functions
for better efficiency.
Note that using the smp_load_acquire/smp_store_release pair used in
mcs_lock and mcs_unlock is not sufficient to form a full memory barrier
across cpus for many architectures (except x86). For applications that
absolutely need a full barrier across multiple cpus with mcs_unlock and
mcs_lock pair, smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() should be used after mcs_lock.

This patch corrects the way memory barriers are used in the MCS lock
with smp_load_acquire and smp_store_release fucnctions. The previous
barriers could leak critical sections if mcs lock is used by itself.
It is not a problem when mcs lock is embedded in mutex but will be an
issue when the mcs_lock is used elsewhere.
The patch removes the incorrect barriers and put in correct
barriers with the pair of functions smp_load_acquire and smp_store_release.
