The locktorture module has a list of torture types, and specifying
a type not on this list is supposed to cleanly fail the module load.
Unfortunately, the "fail" happens without the "cleanly". This commit
therefore adds the needed clean-up after an incorrect torture_type.

Currently down_write/up_write calls synchronize_sched_expedited()
twice, which is evil. Change this code to rely on rcu-sync primitives.
This avoids the _expedited "big hammer", and this can be faster in
the contended case or even in the case when a single thread does
down_write/up_write in a loop.
Of course, a single down_write() will take more time, but otoh it
will be much more friendly to the whole system.
To simplify the review this patch doesn't update the comments, fixed

Real time mutexes is one of the few general primitives
that we do not have in locktorture. Address this -- a few
considerations:
o To spice things up, enable competing thread(s) to become
rt, such that we can stress different prio boosting paths
in the rtmutex code. Introduce a ->task_boost callback,
only used by rtmutex-torturer. Tasks will boost/deboost
around every 50k (arbitrarily) lock/unlock operations.
o Hold times are similar to what we have for other locks:
only occasionally having longer hold times (per ~200k ops).
So we roughly do two full rt boost+deboosting ops with
short hold times.

For an over-committed guest with more vCPUs than physical CPUs
available, it is possible that a vCPU may be kicked twice before
getting the lock - once before it becomes queue head and once again
before it gets the lock. All these CPU kicking and halting (VMEXIT)
can be expensive and slow down system performance.
This patch adds a new vCPU state (vcpu_hashed) which enables the code
to delay CPU kicking until at unlock time. Once this state is set,
the new lock holder will set _Q_SLOW_VAL and fill in the hash table
on behalf of the halted queue head vCPU. The original vcpu_halted
state will be used by pv_wait_node() only to differentiate other
queue nodes from the qeue head.

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

When we unlock in __pv_queued_spin_unlock(), a failed cmpxchg() on the lock
value indicates that we need to take the slow-path and unhash the
corresponding node blocked on the lock.
Since a failed cmpxchg() does not provide any memory-ordering guarantees,
it is possible that the node data could be read before the cmpxchg() on
weakly-ordered architectures and therefore return a stale value, leading
to hash corruption and/or a BUG().
This patch adds an smb_rmb() following the failed cmpxchg operation, so
that the unhashing is ordered after the lock has been checked.

This is due to the fact that the pvqspinlock unlock function is
expecting either a _Q_LOCKED_VAL or _Q_SLOW_VAL in the lock
byte. This patch prevents that bug report by ignoring it when
debug_locks_silent is set. Otherwise, a warning will be printed
if it contains an unexpected value.
With this patch applied, the kernel locking-selftest completed
without any noise.

No one uses this anymore, and this is not the first time the
idea of replacing it with a (now possible) userspace side.
Lock stealing logic was removed long ago in when the lock
was granted to the highest prio.

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.

wake_futex_pi() wakes the task before releasing the hash bucket lock
(HB). The first thing the woken up task usually does is to acquire the
lock which requires the HB lock. On SMP Systems this leads to blocking
on the HB lock which is released by the owner shortly after.
This patch rearranges the unlock path by first releasing the HB lock and
then waking up the task.
[ tglx: Fixed up the rtmutex unlock path ]

Jiri reported a machine stuck in multi_cpu_stop() with
migrate_swap_stop() as function and with the following src,dst cpu
pairs: {11, 4} {13, 11} { 4, 13}
4 11 13
cpuM: queue(4 ,13)
*Ma
cpuN: queue(13,11)
*N Na
*M Mb
cpuO: queue(11, 4)
*O Oa
*Nb
*Ob
Where *X denotes the cpu running the queueing of cpu-X and X[ab] denotes
the first/second queued work.
You'll observe the top of the workqueue for each cpu: 4,11,13 to be work
from cpus: M, O, N resp. IOW. deadlock.
Do away with the queueing trickery and introduce lg_double_lock() to
lock both CPUs and fully serialize the stop_two_cpus() callers instead
of the partial (and buggy) serialization we have now.

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

Add a lockdep annotation that WARNs if you 'accidentially' unlock a
lock.
This is especially helpful for code with callbacks, where the upper
layer assumes a lock remains taken but a lower layer thinks it maybe
can drop and reacquire the lock.
By unwittingly breaking up the lock, races can be introduced.
Lock pinning is a lockdep annotation that helps with this, when you
lockdep_pin_lock() a held lock, any unlock without a
lockdep_unpin_lock() will produce a WARN. Think of this as a relative
of lockdep_assert_held(), except you don't only assert its held now,
but ensure it stays held until you release your assertion.
RFC: a possible alternative API would be something like:
int cookie = lockdep_pin_lock(&foo);
...
lockdep_unpin_lock(&foo, cookie);
Where we pick a random number for the pin_count; this makes it
impossible to sneak a lock break in without also passing the right
cookie along.
I've not done this because it ends up generating code for !LOCKDEP,
esp. if you need to pass the cookie around for some reason.
