54366c0bd7 - For kernel compiled only with KDTRACE_HOOKS and not any lock debugging
option, unbreak the lock tracing release semantic by embedding
  calls to LOCKSTAT_PROFILE_RELEASE_LOCK() direclty in the inlined
  version of the releasing functions for mutex, rwlock and sxlock.
  Failing to do so skips the lockstat_probe_func invokation for
  unlocking.
- As part of the LOCKSTAT support is inlined in mutex operation, for
  kernel compiled without lock debugging options, potentially every
  consumer must be compiled including opt_kdtrace.h.
  Fix this by moving KDTRACE_HOOKS into opt_global.h and remove the
  dependency by opt_kdtrace.h for all files, as now only KDTRACE_FRAMES
  is linked there and it is only used as a compile-time stub [0].

[0] immediately shows some new bug as DTRACE-derived support for debug
in sfxge is broken and it was never really tested.  As it was not
including correctly opt_kdtrace.h before it was never enabled so it
was kept broken for a while.  Fix this by using a protection stub,
leaving sfxge driver authors the responsibility for fixing it
appropriately [1].

7faf4d90e8 Fix lc_lock/lc_unlock() support for rmlocks held in shared mode. With
current lock classes KPI it was really difficult because there was no
way to pass an rmtracker object to the lock/unlock routines. In order
to accomplish the task, modify the aforementioned functions so that
they can return (or pass as argument) an uinptr_t, which is in the rm
case used to hold a pointer to struct rm_priotracker for current
thread. As an added bonus, this fixes rm_sleep() in the rm shared
case, which right now can communicate priotracker structure between
lc_unlock()/lc_lock().

ac6b769be9 Give mutex(9) the ability to recurse on a per-instance basis.
Now the MTX_RECURSE flag can be passed to the mtx_*_flag() calls.
This helps in cases we want to narrow down to specific calls the
possibility to recurse for some locks.

b5fb43e572 A few mostly cosmetic nits to aid in debugging:
- Call lock_init() first before setting any lock_object fields in
  lock init routines.  This way if the machine panics due to a duplicate
  init the lock's original state is preserved.
- Somewhat similarly, don't decrement td_locks and td_slocks until after
  an unlock operation has completed successfully.

7f44c61839 Give mtx(9) the ability to crunch different type of structures, with the
only constraint that they have a lock cookie named mtx_lock.
This name, then, becames reserved from the struct that wants to use the
mtx(9) KPI and other locking primitives cannot reuse it for their
members.

Namely such structs are the current struct mtx and the new
struct mtx_padalign.  The new structure will define an object which is
the same as the same layout of a struct mtx but will be allocated in
areas aligned to the cache line size and will be as big as a cache line.

This is supposed to give higher performance for highly contented mutexes
both spin or sleep (because of the adaptive spinning), where the cache
line contention results in too much traffic on the system bus.

The struct mtx_padalign can be used in a completely transparent way
with the mtx(9) KPI.

At the moment, a possibility to MFC the patch should be carefully
evaluated because this patch breaks the low level KPI
(not its representation though).

e3ae0dfe69 Improve check coverage about idle threads.
Idle threads are not allowed to acquire any lock but spinlocks.
Deny any attempt to do so by panicing at the locking operation
when INVARIANTS is on. Then, remove the check on blocking on a
turnstile.
The check in sleepqueues is left because they are not allowed to use
tsleep() either which could happen still.

353705930f panic: add a switch and infrastructure for stopping other CPUs in SMP case
Historical behavior of letting other CPUs merily go on is a default for
time being.  The new behavior can be switched on via
kern.stop_scheduler_on_panic tunable and sysctl.

Stopping of the CPUs has (at least) the following benefits:
- more of the system state at panic time is preserved intact
- threads and interrupts do not interfere with dumping of the system
  state

Only one thread runs uninterrupted after panic if stop_scheduler_on_panic
is set.  That thread might call code that is also used in normal context
and that code might use locks to prevent concurrent execution of certain
parts.  Those locks might be held by the stopped threads and would never
be released.  To work around this issue, it was decided that instead of
explicit checks for panic context, we would rather put those checks
inside the locking primitives.

This change has substantial portions written and re-written by attilio
and kib at various times.  Other changes are heavily based on the ideas
and patches submitted by jhb and mdf.  bde has provided many insights
into the details and history of the current code.

The new behavior may cause problems for systems that use a USB keyboard
for interfacing with system console.  This is because of some unusual
locking patterns in the ukbd code which have to be used because on one
hand ukbd is below syscons, but on the other hand it has to interface
with other usb code that uses regular mutexes/Giant for its concurrency
protection.  Dumping to USB-connected disks may also be affected.

ccdf233323 Introduce macro stubs in the mutex implementation that will be always
defined and will allow consumers, willing to provide options, file and
line to locking requests, to not worry about options redefining the
interfaces.
This is typically useful when there is the need to build another
locking interface on top of the mutex one.

The introduced functions that consumers can use are:
- mtx_lock_flags_
- mtx_unlock_flags_
- mtx_lock_spin_flags_
- mtx_unlock_spin_flags_
- mtx_assert_
- thread_lock_flags_

Spare notes:
- Likely we can get rid of all the 'INVARIANTS' specification in the
  ppbus code by using the same macro as done in this patch (but this is
  left to the ppbus maintainer)
- all the other locking interfaces may require a similar cleanup, where
  the most notable case is sx which will allow a further cleanup of
  vm_map locking facilities
- The patch should be fully compatible with older branches, thus a MFC
  is previewed (infact it uses all the underlying mechanisms already
  present).

b0b9dee5c9 - Fix a race in sched_switch() of sched_4bsd.
In the case of the thread being on a sleepqueue or a turnstile, the
  sched_lock was acquired (without the aid of the td_lock interface) and
  the td_lock was dropped. This was going to break locking rules on other
  threads willing to access to the thread (via the td_lock interface) and
  modify his flags (allowed as long as the container lock was different
  by the one used in sched_switch).
  In order to prevent this situation, while sched_lock is acquired there
  the td_lock gets blocked. [0]
- Merge the ULE's internal function thread_block_switch() into the global
  thread_lock_block() and make the former semantic as the default for
  thread_lock_block(). This means that thread_lock_block() will not
  disable interrupts when called (and consequently thread_unlock_block()
  will not re-enabled them when called). This should be done manually
  when necessary.
  Note, however, that ULE's thread_unblock_switch() is not reaped
  because it does reflect a difference in semantic due in ULE (the
  td_lock may not be necessarilly still blocked_lock when calling this).
  While asymmetric, it does describe a remarkable difference in semantic
  that is good to keep in mind.

Note: ASSERT_ATOMIC_LOAD() uses ALIGN() to check for adequate
      alignment -- however, the function of ALIGN() is to guarantee

eea4f254fe - Re-implement lock profiling in such a way that it no longer breaks
the ABI when enabled.  There is no longer an embedded lock_profile_object
   in each lock.  Instead a list of lock_profile_objects is kept per-thread
   for each lock it may own.  The cnt_hold statistic is now always 0 to
   facilitate this.
 - Support shared locking by tracking individual lock instances and
   statistics in the per-thread per-instance lock_profile_object.
 - Make the lock profiling hash table a per-cpu singly linked list with a
   per-cpu static lock_prof allocator.  This removes the need for an array
   of spinlocks and reduces cache contention between cores.
 - Use a seperate hash for spinlocks and other locks so that only a
   critical_enter() is required and not a spinlock_enter() to modify the
   per-cpu tables.
 - Count time spent spinning in the lock statistics.
 - Remove the LOCK_PROFILE_SHARED option as it is always supported now.
 - Specifically drop and release the scheduler locks in both schedulers

49aead8a10 Simplify the adaptive spinning algorithm in rwlock and mutex:
currently, before to spin the turnstile spinlock is acquired and the

This is not strictly necessary, so just spin before to acquire the

This will simplify a lot other functions too, as now we have the waiters
flag set only if there are actually waiters.
This should make wakeup/sleeping couplet faster under intensive mutex
workload.
This also fixes a bug in rw_try_upgrade() in the adaptive case, where
turnstile_lookup() will recurse on the ts_lock lock that will never be

These functions are intended to be used to drop a lock and then reacquire

'struct lock_object *' as their first parameter.  The 'lc_unlock' function
returns an integer that is then passed as the second paramter to the
subsequent 'lc_lock' function.  This can be used to communicate state.
For example, sx locks and rwlocks use this to indicate if the lock was
share/read locked vs exclusive/write locked.

Currently, spin mutexes and lockmgr locks do not provide working lc_lock
and lc_unlock functions.
