[PATCH 3/3] io_uring: add support for fixed wait regions

[Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>]

Generally applications have 1 or a few waits of waiting, yet they pass
in a struct io_uring_getevents_arg every time. This needs to get copied
and, in turn, the timeout value needs to get copied.

Rather than do this for every invocation, allow the application to
register a fixed set of wait regions that can simply be indexed when
asking the kernel to wait on events.

At ring setup time, the application can register a number of these wait
regions ala:

	struct io_uring_reg_wait *reg;

	posix_memalign((void **) &reg, page_size, page_size);
	memset(reg, 0, page_size);

	/* set timeout and mark it as set, sigmask/sigmask_sz as needed */
	reg->ts.tv_sec = 0;
	reg->ts.tv_nsec = 100000;
	reg->flags = IORING_REG_WAIT_TS;

	io_uring_register_cqwait_reg(ring, reg, nr_regions);

and instead of doing:

	struct __kernel_timespec timeout = { .tv_nsec = 100000, };

	io_uring_submit_and_wait_timeout(ring, &cqe, nr, &t, NULL);

for each submit_and_wait, or just wait, operation, it can just reference
the above region at offset 0 and do:

	io_uring_submit_and_wait_reg(ring, &cqe, nr, 0);

to achieve the same goal of waiting 100usec without needing to copy
both struct io_uring_getevents_arg (24b) and struct __kernel_timeout
(16b) for each invocation. Struct io_uring_reg_wait looks as follows:

struct io_uring_reg_wait {
	struct __kernel_timespec	ts;
	__u32				min_wait_usec;
	__u32				flags;
	__u64				sigmask;
	__u32				sigmask_sz;
	__u32				pad[3];
	__u64				pad2[2];
};

embedding the timeout itself in the region, rather than passing it as
a pointer as well. Note that the signal mask is still passed as a
pointer, both for compatability reasons, but also because there doesn't
seem to be a lot of high frequency waits scenarios that involve setting
and resetting the signal mask for each wait.

The application is free to modify any region before a wait call, or it
can use keep multiple regions with different settings to avoid needing to
modify the same one for wait calls. Up to a page size of regions is mapped
by default, allowing PAGE_SIZE / 64 available regions for use.

In network performance testing with zero-copy, this reduced the time
spent waiting on the TX side from 3.12% to 0.3% and the RX side from 4.4%
to 0.3%.

Wait regions are fixed for the lifetime of the ring - once registered,
they are persistent until the ring is torn down.
