[PATCH 02/11] Add the low level infrastructure for pthreads lock elision with TSX


From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

Lock elision using TSX is a technique to optimize lock scaling
It allows to run locks in parallel using hardware support for
a transactional execution mode in upcoming Intel CPUs.
See http://software.intel.com/file/41604 for the full
specification.

This patch implements a simple adaptive lock elision algorithm based
on RTM. It enables elision for the pthread mutexes and rwlocks.
The algorithm keeps track whether a mutex successfully elides or not,
and stops eliding for some time when it is not.

When the CPU supports RTM the elision path is automatically tried,
otherwise any elision is disabled.

The adaptation algorithm and its tuning is currently preliminary.

The code adds some checks to the lock fast paths. Micro-benchmarks
show little to no difference without RTM.

Lock elision can be enabled/disabled using environment variables.
It can be also enabled or disabled using new lock types for
mutex and rwlocks. The adaptation parameters are also tunable.

This patch implements the low level "lll_" code for lock elision.
Followon patches hook this into the pthread implement.

Changes with the RTM mutexes:
-----------------------------
Lock elision in pthreads is generally compatible with existing programs.
There are some obscure exceptions, which are expected to be uncommon.
See the manual for more details.

- A broken program that unlocks a free lock will crash.
  There are ways around this with some tradeoffs (more code in hot paths)
  This will also happen on systems without RTM with the patchkit.
  I'm still undecided on what approach to take here; have to wait for testing reports.
- pthread_mutex_destroy of a lock mutex will not return EBUSY but 0.
- mutex appears free when elided.
  pthread_mutex_lock(mutex);
  if (pthread_mutex_trylock(mutex) != 0) do_something
  will not do something when the lock elided.
  However note that if the check is an assert it works as expected because the
  assert failure aborts and the region is re-executed non transactionally,
  with the old behaviour.
  The same change applies to write locks for rwlocks.
  [This is now only done for mutexes that have elision explicitely enabled,
   standard mutexes abort in this situation]
- There's also a similar situation with trylock outside the mutex,
  "knowing" that the mutex must be held due to some other condition.
  In this case an assert failure cannot be recovered. This situation is
  usually an existing bug in the program.
- Same applies to the rwlocks. Some of the return values changes
  (for example there is no EDEADLK for an elided lock, unless it aborts.
   However when elided it will also never deadlock of course)
- Timing changes, so broken programs that make assumptions about specific timing
  may expose already existing latent problems.  Note that these broken programs will
  break in other situations too (loaded system, new faster hardware, compiler
  optimizations etc.)

Currently elision is enabled by default on systems that support RTM,
unless explicitely disabled either in the program or by the user.

This patch implements the basic infrastructure for elision.

Open issues:
- XTEST or not XTEST in unlock, see above.
- Adaptation for rwlocks
- Condition variables don't use elision so far
- Adaptation tuning
