rms: several cleanups + debug read lockers handling

This adds a dedicated counter updated with atomics when INVARIANTS
is used. As a side effect one can reliably determine the lock is held
for reading by at least one thread, but it's still not possible to
find out whether curthread has the lock in said mode.

This should be good enough in practice.

Problem spotted by avg.


# 6fc2b069 04-Nov-2020 Mateusz Guzik <mjg@FreeBSD.org>

rms: fixup concurrent writer handling and add more features

Previously the code had one wait channel for all pending writers.
This could result in a buggy scenario where after a writer switches
the lock mode form readers to writers goes off CPU, another writer
queues itself and then the last reader wakes up the latter instead
of the former.

Use a separate channel.

While here add features to reliably detect whether curthread has
the lock write-owned. This will be used by ZFS.


# 1f162fef 27-Dec-2019 Mateusz Guzik <mjg@FreeBSD.org>

Add read-mostly sleepable locks

To be used when like rmlocks, except when sleeping for readers needs to be
allowed. See the manpage for more information.

# 51369649 20-Nov-2017 Pedro F. Giffuni <pfg@FreeBSD.org>

sys: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.


# cd32bd7a 25-Jun-2013 John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org>

Several improvements to rmlock(9). Many of these are based on patches
provided by Isilon.
- Add an rm_assert() supporting various lock assertions similar to other
locking primitives. Because rmlocks track readers the assertions are
always fully accurate unlike rw_assert() and sx_assert().
- Flesh out the lock class methods for rmlocks to support sleeping via
condvars and rm_sleep() (but only while holding write locks), rmlock
details in 'show lock' in DDB, and the lc_owner method used by
dtrace.
- Add an internal destroyed cookie so that API functions can assert
that an rmlock is not destroyed.
- Make use of rm_assert() to add various assertions to the API (e.g.
to assert locks are held when an unlock routine is called).
- Give RM_SLEEPABLE locks their own lock class and always use the
rmlock's own lock_object with WITNESS.
- Use THREAD_NO_SLEEPING() / THREAD_SLEEPING_OK() to disallow sleeping
while holding a read lock on an rmlock.

# 6a612df1 17-Sep-2012 Attilio Rao <attilio@FreeBSD.org>

Remove namespace pollution in _rmlock.h by defining rm_queue structure
directly in _rmlock.h and then including it (and its dependencies)
in pcpu.h. This leads to few _*.h headers to be included in pcpu.h
but this is not considered a big deal.

Really pc_rm_queue should be implemented as a dynamic member with
DPCPU interface, but we really want to keep the read acquisition as
fast as possible, so even the further pc_dynamic indirection should be
avoided, and the pollution is dealt like this.

# 71a19bdc 05-May-2011 Attilio Rao <attilio@FreeBSD.org>

Commit the support for removing cpumask_t and replacing it directly with
cpuset_t objects.
That is going to offer the underlying support for a simple bump of
MAXCPU and then support for number of cpus > 32 (as it is today).

Right now, cpumask_t is an int, 32 bits on all our supported architecture.
cpumask_t on the other side is implemented as an array of longs, and
easilly extendible by definition.

The architectures touched by this commit are the following:
- amd64
- i386
- pc98
- arm
- ia64
- XEN

while the others are still missing.
Userland is believed to be fully converted with the changes contained
here.

Some technical notes:
- This commit may be considered an ABI nop for all the architectures
different from amd64 and ia64 (and sparc64 in the future)
- per-cpu members, which are now converted to cpuset_t, needs to be
accessed avoiding migration, because the size of cpuset_t should be
considered unknown
- size of cpuset_t objects is different from kernel and userland (this is
primirally done in order to leave some more space in userland to cope
with KBI extensions). If you need to access kernel cpuset_t from the
userland please refer to example in this patch on how to do that
correctly (kgdb may be a good source, for example).
- Support for other architectures is going to be added soon
- Only MAXCPU for amd64 is bumped now

The patch has been tested by sbruno and Nicholas Esborn on opteron
4 x 12 pack CPUs. More testing on big SMP is expected to came soon.
pluknet tested the patch with his 8-ways on both amd64 and i386.

A new jail(8) with a configuration file, to replace the work currently done
by /etc/rc.d/jail.


# 36058c09 01-Sep-2010 Max Laier <mlaier@FreeBSD.org>

rmlock(9) two additions and one change/fix:
- add rm_try_rlock().
- add RM_SLEEPABLE to use sx(9) as the back-end lock in order to sleep while
holding the write lock.
- change rm_noreadtoken to a cpu bitmask to indicate which CPUs need to go
through the lock/unlock in order to synchronize. As a side effect, this
also avoids IPI to CPUs without any readers during rm_wlock.

Initial checkin for rmlock (read mostly lock) a multi reader single writer
lock optimized for almost exclusive reader access. (see also rmlock.9)

TODO:
Convert to per cpu variables linkerset as soon as it is available.
Optimize UP (single processor) case.
