Will Deacon c61da58d8a locking/qspinlock: Kill cmpxchg() loop when claiming lock from head of queue
When a queued locker reaches the head of the queue, it claims the lock
by setting _Q_LOCKED_VAL in the lockword. If there isn't contention, it
must also clear the tail as part of this operation so that subsequent
lockers can avoid taking the slowpath altogether.

Currently this is expressed as a cmpxchg() loop that practically only
runs up to two iterations. This is confusing to the reader and unhelpful
to the compiler. Rewrite the cmpxchg() loop without the loop, so that a
failed cmpxchg() implies that there is contention and we just need to
write to _Q_LOCKED_VAL without considering the rest of the lockword.

/*
* The basic principle of a queue-based spinlock can best be understood
* by studying a classic queue-based spinlock implementation called the
* MCS lock. The paper below provides a good description for this kind
* of lock.
*
* http://www.cise.ufl.edu/tr/DOC/REP-1992-71.pdf
*
* This queued spinlock implementation is based on the MCS lock, however to make
* it fit the 4 bytes we assume spinlock_t to be, and preserve its existing
* API, we must modify it somehow.
*
* In particular; where the traditional MCS lock consists of a tail pointer
* (8 bytes) and needs the next pointer (another 8 bytes) of its own node to
* unlock the next pending (next->locked), we compress both these: {tail,
* next->locked} into a single u32 value.
*
* Since a spinlock disables recursion of its own context and there is a limit
* to the contexts that can nest; namely: task, softirq, hardirq, nmi. As there
* are at most 4 nesting levels, it can be encoded by a 2-bit number. Now
* we can encode the tail by combining the 2-bit nesting level with the cpu
* number. With one byte for the lock value and 3 bytes for the tail, only a
* 32-bit word is now needed. Even though we only need 1 bit for the lock,
* we extend it to a full byte to achieve better performance for architectures
* that support atomic byte write.
*
* We also change the first spinner to spin on the lock bit instead of its
* node; whereby avoiding the need to carry a node from lock to unlock, and
* preserving existing lock API. This also makes the unlock code simpler and
* faster.
*
* N.B. The current implementation only supports architectures that allow
* atomic operations on smaller 8-bit and 16-bit data types.
*
