[PATCH 4.6 029/203] locking/qspinlock: Fix spin_unlock_wait() some more

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

commit 2c610022711675ee908b903d242f0b90e1db661f upstream.

While this prior commit:

54cf809b9512 ("locking,qspinlock: Fix spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait()")

... fixes spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait() for the usage
in ipc/sem and netfilter, it does not in fact work right for the
usage in task_work and futex.

So while the 2 locks crossed problem:

spin_lock(A) spin_lock(B)
if (!spin_is_locked(B)) spin_unlock_wait(A)
foo() foo();

... works with the smp_mb() injected by both spin_is_locked() and
spin_unlock_wait(), this is not sufficient for:

flag = 1;
smp_mb(); spin_lock()
spin_unlock_wait() if (!flag)
// add to lockless list
// iterate lockless list

... because in this scenario, the store from spin_lock() can be delayed
past the load of flag, uncrossing the variables and loosing the
guarantee.

This patch reworks spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait() to work in
both cases by exploiting the observation that while the lock byte
store can be delayed, the contender must have registered itself
visibly in other state contained in the word.

It also allows for architectures to override both functions, as PPC
and ARM64 have an additional issue for which we currently have no
generic solution.

+ * _Q_LOCKED_VAL is not sufficient to determine if the lock is acquired.
+ *
+ * There are two paths that can issue the unordered store:
+ *
+ * (1) clear_pending_set_locked(): *,1,0 -> *,0,1
+ *
+ * (2) set_locked(): t,0,0 -> t,0,1 ; t != 0

+ * However, in both cases we have other !0 state we've set before to queue

+ *
+ * For (1) we have the atomic_cmpxchg_acquire() that set _Q_PENDING_VAL, our
+ * load is constrained by that ACQUIRE to not pass before that, and thus must
+ * observe the store.
+ *
+ * For (2) we have a more intersting scenario. We enqueue ourselves using
+ * xchg_tail(), which ends up being a RELEASE. This in itself is not
+ * sufficient, however that is followed by an smp_cond_acquire() on the same
+ * word, giving a RELEASE->ACQUIRE ordering. This again constrains our load and
+ * guarantees we must observe that store.
+ *
+ * Therefore both cases have other !0 state that is observable before the
+ * unordered locked byte store comes through. This means we can use that to
+ * wait for the lock store, and then wait for an unlock.
