This is mostly for cleanup value:
- We don't need several gotos to handle the case where the first
waiter is a writer. Two simple tests will do (and generate very
similar code).
- In the remainder of the function, we know the first waiter is a reader,
so we don't have to double check that. We can use do..while loops
to iterate over the readers to wake (generates slightly better code).

We are not planning to add some new waiter flags, so we can convert the
waiter type into an enumeration.
Background: David Howells suggested I do this back when I tried adding
a new waiter type for unfair readers. However, I believe the cleanup
applies regardless of that use case.

We (Linux Kernel Performance project) found a regression
introduced by commit:
5a505085f043 mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem
which converted all anon_vma::mutex locks rwsem write locks.
The semantics are the same, but the behavioral difference is
quite huge in some cases. After investigating it we found the
root cause: mutexes support lock stealing while rwsems don't.
Here is the link for the detailed regression report:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/29/84
Ingo suggested adding write lock stealing to rwsems:
"I think we should allow lock-steal between rwsem writers - that
will not hurt fairness as most rwsem fairness concerns relate to
reader vs. writer fairness"
And here is the rwsem-spinlock version.
With this patch, we got a double performance increase in one
test box with following aim7 workfile:
FILESIZE: 1M
POOLSIZE: 10M
10 fork_test
/usr/bin/time output w/o patch /usr/bin/time_output with patch
-- Percent of CPU this job got: 369% Percent of CPU this job got: 537%
Voluntary context switches: 640595016 Voluntary context switches: 157915561
We got a 45% increase in CPU usage and saved about 3/4 voluntary context switches.

For files only using THIS_MODULE and/or EXPORT_SYMBOL, map
them onto including export.h -- or if the file isn't even
using those, then just delete the include. Fix up any implicit
include dependencies that were being masked by module.h along
the way.

There is no reason to allow the lock protecting rwsems (the
ownerless variant) to be preemptible on -rt. Convert it to raw.
In mainline this change documents the low level nature of
the lock - otherwise there's no functional difference. Lockdep
and Sparse checking will work as usual.

rwsems can be used with IRQs disabled, particularily in early boot
before IRQs are enabled. Currently the spin_unlock_irq() usage in the
slow-patch will unconditionally enable interrupts and cause problems
since interrupts are not yet initialized or enabled.
This patch uses save/restore versions of IRQ spinlocks in the slowpath
to ensure interrupts are not unintentionally disabled.

rwsem_is_locked() tests ->activity without locks, so we should always keep
->activity consistent. However, the code in __rwsem_do_wake() breaks this
rule, it updates ->activity after _all_ readers waken up, this may give
some reader a wrong ->activity value, thus cause rwsem_is_locked() behaves
wrong.
Quote from Andrew:
"
- we have one or more processes sleeping in down_read(), waiting for access.
- we wake one or more processes up without altering ->activity
- they start to run and they do rwsem_is_locked(). This incorrectly
returns "false", because the waker process is still crunching away in
__rwsem_do_wake().
- the waker now alters ->activity, but it was too late.
"
So we need get a spinlock to protect this. And rwsem_is_locked() should
not block, thus we use spin_trylock_irqsave().

These functions need not to be exported, since no drivers should use them.
__init_rwsem() is an exception, because init_rwsem(), which is a macro,
is used.

This annotation makes it possible to assign a subclass on lock init. This
annotation is meant to reduce the _nested() annotations by assigning a
default subclass.
One could do without this annotation and rely on lockdep_set_class()
exclusively, but that would require a manual stack of struct lock_class_key
objects.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
