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
since we track owners now.
