Subject: [RFC 1/4] futex2: Add new futex interface
Add a new futex interface into the kernel, namely futex2. This first
piece of work just introduces the new interface without new feature for
now, using all mechanisms of the old interface in order to work. This
way we can properly formalize the expectations around the new design,
while being able to expand the code as we need and even in parallel
efforts if possible.
This new interface is able just to wait and wake on a 32-bit user futex.
The wait operation supports timeout with absolute values only, using
time_t/ktime_t (aka u64), in monotonic or realtime mode in a nsec
resolution. The code can be found in my git tree[1].
The design of this syscall was based on the discussion following the
"futex: Implement mechanism to wait on any of several futexes" patch[2].
In order to test the code, the glibc low level futex code was
modified to use the new syscall. It's possible to find the code here[3].
After running the tests of glibc (`make check subdir=nptl`), only 26
tests of 370 didn't passed, and since they are all related to FUTEX_PI,
which isn't implemented in the new interface, those failures were expected.
