With the write lock path simply subtracting RW_LOCK_BIAS there
is, on large systems, the theoretical possibility of overflowing
the 32-bit value that was used so far (namely if 128 or more
CPUs manage to do the subtraction, but don't get to do the
inverse addition in the failure path quickly enough).
A first measure is to modify RW_LOCK_BIAS itself - with the new
value chosen, it is good for up to 2048 CPUs each allowed to
nest over 2048 times on the read path without causing an issue.
Quite possibly it would even be sufficient to adjust the bias a
little further, assuming that allowing for significantly less
nesting would suffice.
However, as the original value chosen allowed for even more
nesting levels, to support more than 2048 CPUs (possible
currently only for 64-bit kernels) the lock itself gets widened
to 64 bits.

Drop thunk_ra macro in favor of an additional argument to the thunk
macro since their bodies are almost identical. Do a whitespace scrubbing
and use CFI-aware macros for full annotation.

Some of the items removed were apparently never used, others
simply didn't get removed with their last user.

This patch adds latency tracing for critical timings
(how long interrupts are disabled for).
"irqsoff" is added to /debugfs/tracing/available_tracers
Note:
tracing_max_latency
also holds the max latency for irqsoff (in usecs).
(default to large number so one must start latency tracing)
tracing_thresh
threshold (in usecs) to always print out if irqs off
is detected to be longer than stated here.
If irq_thresh is non-zero, then max_irq_latency
is ignored.
Here's an example of a trace with ftrace_enabled = 0

Semaphores are no longer performance-critical, so a generic C
implementation is better for maintainability, debuggability and
extensibility. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for fixing the lockdep
warning. Thanks to Harvey Harrison for pointing out that the
unlikely() was unnecessary.

Without this patch the linker will generate a section
named .sched.text.1 which is unexpected.
This is because the gcc generated section has "ax" but the
assembler usage of .sched.text lacks the "ax" specifier.
It would be better to have a definition we could use from
assembler code but I did not find a suitable header
file for it.
