Subject: [PATCH 2/5] ipc/sem: rework task wakeups

Our sysv sems have been using the notion of lockless wakeups for a while,
ever since 0a2b9d4c796 (ipc/sem.c: move wake_up_process out of the spinlock
section), in order to reduce the sem_lock hold times. This in-house pending
queue can be replaced by wake_q (just like all the rest of ipc now), in that
it provides the following advantages:

o Simplifies and gets rid of unnecessary code.

o We get rid of the IN_WAKEUP complexities. Given that wake_q_add() grabs
reference to the task, if awoken due to an unrelated event, between the
wake_q_add() and wake_up_q() window, we cannot race with sys_exit and the
imminent call to wake_up_process().

o By not spinning IN_WAKEUP, we no longer need to disable preemption.

In consequence, the wakeup paths (after schedule(), that is) must acknowledge
an external signal/event, as well spurious wakeup occurring during the pending
wakeup window. Obviously no changes in semantics that could be visible to the
user. The fastpath is _only_ for when we know for sure that we were awoken due
to a the waker's successful semop call (queue.status is not -EINTR).

On a 48-core Haswell, running the ipcscale 'waitforzero' test, the following
is seen with increasing thread counts:

- * Lockless wakeup algorithm:
- * Without the check/retry algorithm a lockless wakeup is possible:
- * - queue.status is initialized to -EINTR before blocking.
- * - wakeup is performed by

- *	* setting queue.status to IN_WAKEUP
- *	  This is the notification for the blocked thread that a
- *	  result value is imminent.
- *	* call wake_up_process
- *	* set queue.status to the final value.
- * - the previously blocked thread checks queue.status:
- *	* if it's IN_WAKEUP, then it must wait until the value changes
- *	* if it's not -EINTR, then the operation was completed by
- *	  update_queue. semtimedop can return queue.status without
- *	  performing any operation on the sem array.
- *	* otherwise it must acquire the spinlock and check what's up.
- *
- * The two-stage algorithm is necessary to protect against the following
- * races:
- * - if queue.status is set after wake_up_process, then the woken up idle
- *   thread could race forward and try (and fail) to acquire sma->lock
- *   before update_queue had a chance to set queue.status
- * - if queue.status is written before wake_up_process and if the
- *   blocked process is woken up by a signal between writing
- *   queue.status and the wake_up_process, then the woken up
- *   process could return from semtimedop and die by calling
- *   sys_exit before wake_up_process is called. Then wake_up_process
- *   will oops, because the task structure is already invalid.
