Subject: [PATCH 00/11] V4: rwsem changes + down_read_critical() proposal

This is version 4 of my rwsem changes.

Changes since V3:

- Split first x86 rwsem change in two smaller parts
- Added David's rwsem_waiter_type enum suggestion into
  'rwsem: down_read_critical infrastructure support'
- Lots of minor style fixes and comments clarified

I would hope the entire series can be considered for inclusion;
however if we can not agree on the down_read_critical() bits I would
still like patches 1-7 to be independently considered as I think they
still have merit on their own.

Michel Lespinasse (11):
  x86 rwsem: stay on fast path when count>0 in __up_write()
  x86 rwsem: minor cleanups
  rwsem: fully separate code pathes to wake writers vs readers
  rwsem: lighter active count checks when waking up readers
  rwsem: let RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS represent any number of waiting threads
  rwsem: wake queued readers when writer blocks on active read lock
  rwsem: smaller wrappers around rwsem_down_failed_common
  generic rwsem: implement down_read_critical() / up_read_critical()
  rwsem: down_read_critical infrastructure support
  x86 rwsem: down_read_critical implementation
  Use down_read_critical() for /proc/<pid>/exe and /proc/<pid>/maps files
