This only affects RMO. This adds stricter semantics for critical section
serialization. In addition to this, asymmetric synchronization primitives will
now provide load ordering with respect to readers.
This also modifies locked operations to have acquire semantics
(they're there for elision predicates, and this doesn't impact them
in any way). There are several performance improvements included in this
as well (redundant fence was removed from days of wanting to support
Alpha).
There is an off-by-one for slot ID sizeof(bytelock->readers) + 1.
This patch fixes the handling of this slot ID. Based off a patch
submitted by Albi Kavo <albi.kavo@gma....>.
An off-by-one was introduced in downgrade path from writer.
This can cause deadlock if a writer downgrades from a write lock.
Pointed out by Jeffrey Birnbaum <jmb...@...>.
CK_CC_PACKED will drop structures to one-byte alignment in certain
cases. Obviously, this will mean bad performance on most architectures.
Thanks to Matt Johnson from https://rigel.crhc.illinois.edu/ for
reporting this problem.
