locking/qrwlock: Make use of _{acquire|release|relaxed}() atomics
The qrwlock implementation is slightly heavy in its use of memory barriers, mainly through the use of _cmpxchg() and _return() atomics, which imply full barrier semantics. This patch modifies the qrwlock code to use the more relaxed atomic routines so that we can reduce the unnecessary barrier overhead on weakly-ordered architectures.

locking/qrwlock: Reduce reader/writer to reader lock transfer latency
Currently, a reader will check first to make sure that the writer mode
byte is cleared before incrementing the reader count. That waiting is
not really necessary. It increases the latency in the reader/writer
to reader transition and reduces readers performance.
This patch eliminates that waiting. It also has the side effect
of reducing the chance of writer lock stealing and improving the
fairness of the lock. Using a locking microbenchmark, a 10-threads 5M
locking loop of mostly readers (RW ratio = 10,000:1) has the following
performance numbers in a Haswell-EX box:

locking/qrwlock: Better optimization for interrupt context readers
The qrwlock is fair in the process context, but becoming unfair when in the interrupt context to support use cases like the tasklist_lock. The current code isn't that well-documented on what happens when in the interrupt context. The rspin_until_writer_unlock() will only spin if the writer has gotten the lock. If the writer is still in the waiting state, the increment in the reader count will cause the writer to remain in the waiting state and the new interrupt context reader will get the lock and return immediately. The current code, however, does an additional read of the lock value which is not necessary as the information has already been there in the fast path. This may sometime cause an additional cacheline transfer when the lock is highly contended. This patch passes the lock value information gotten in the fast path to the slow path to eliminate the additional read. It also documents the action for the interrupt context readers more clearly.

locking/qrwlock: Rename functions to queued_*()
To sync up with the naming convention used in qspinlock, all the qrwlock functions were renamed to started with "queued" instead of "queue".

locking/qrwlock: Don't contend with readers when setting _QW_WAITING
The current cmpxchg() loop in setting the _QW_WAITING flag for writers in queue_write_lock_slowpath() will contend with incoming readers causing possibly extra cmpxchg() operations that are wasteful. This patch changes the code to do a byte cmpxchg() to eliminate contention with new readers. A multithreaded microbenchmark running 5M read_lock/write_lock loop on a 8-socket 80-core Westmere-EX machine running 4.0 based kernel with the qspinlock patch have the following execution times (in ms) with and without the patch: With R:W ratio = 5:1 Threads w/o patch with patch % change ------- --------- ---------- -------- 2 990 895 -9.6% 3 2136 1912 -10.5% 4 3166 2830 -10.6% 5 3953 3629 -8.2% 6 4628 4405 -4.8% 7 5344 5197 -2.8% 8 6065 6004 -1.0% 9 6826 6811 -0.2% 10 7599 7599 0.0% 15 9757 9766 +0.1% 20 13767 13817 +0.4% With small number of contending threads, this patch can improve locking performance by up to 10%. With more contending threads, however, the gain diminishes.

locking/rwlocks: Introduce 'qrwlocks' - fair, queued rwlocks
This rwlock uses the arch_spin_lock_t as a waitqueue, and assuming the arch_spin_lock_t is a fair lock (ticket,mcs etc..) the resulting rwlock is a fair lock. It fits in the same 8 bytes as the regular rwlock_t by folding the reader and writer count into a single integer, using the remaining 4 bytes for the arch_spinlock_t. Architectures that can single-copy adress bytes can optimize queue_write_unlock() with a 0 write to the LSB (the write count).
