[PATCH v11 01/14] asm-generic: barrier: Add smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout()

[Ankur Arora <ankur.a.arora@oracle.com>]

Add smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout(), which extends
smp_cond_load_relaxed() to allow waiting for a duration.

We loop around waiting for the condition variable to change while
peridically doing a time-check. The loop uses cpu_poll_relax() to slow
down the busy-wait, which, unless overridden by the architecture
code, amounts to a cpu_relax().

Note that there are two ways for the time-check to fail: the timeout
case or, @time_expr_ns returning an invalid value (negative or zero).
The second failure mode allows for clocks attached to the clock-domain
of @cond_expr --  which might cease to operate meaningfully once some
state internal to @cond_expr has changed -- to fail.

Evaluation of @time_expr_ns: in the fastpath we want to keep the
performance close to smp_cond_load_relaxed(). So defer evaluation
of the potentially costly @time_expr_ns to the slowpath.

This also means that there will always be some hardware dependent
duration that has passed in cpu_poll_relax() iterations at the time
of first evaluation. Additionally cpu_poll_relax() is not guaranteed
to return at timeout boundary. In sum, expect timeout overshoot when
we exit due to expiration of the timeout.

The number of spin iterations before time-check, SMP_TIMEOUT_POLL_COUNT
is chosen to be 200 by default. With a cpu_poll_relax() iteration
taking ~20-30 cycles (measured on a variety of x86 platforms), we
expect a time-check every ~4000-6000 cycles.

The outer limit of the overshoot is double that when working with the
parameters above. This might be higher or lower depending on the
implementation of cpu_poll_relax() across architectures.

Lastly, config option ARCH_HAS_CPU_RELAX indicates availability of a
cpu_poll_relax() that is cheaper than polling. This might be relevant
for cases with a long timeout.

Notes:
   - add a comment mentioning that smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout() might
     be using architectural primitives that don't support MMIO.
