Implementing proxy execution requires that scheduler code be able to
identify the current owner of a mutex. Expose __mutex_owner() for
this purpose (alone!). Includes a null mutex check, so that users
of the function can be simplified.

[Removed the EXPORT_SYMBOL]

With the proxy-execution series, we traverse the task-&gt;mutex-&gt;task
blocked_on/owner chain in the scheduler core. We do this while holding
the rq::lock to keep the structures in place while taking and
releasing the alternating lock types.

Since the mutex::wait_lock is one of the locks we will take in this
way under the rq::lock in the scheduler core, we need to make sure
that its usage elsewhere is irq safe.

In preparation to nest mutex::wait_lock under rq::lock we need
to remove wakeups from under it.

Do this by utilizing wake_qs to defer the wakeup until after the
lock is dropped.

[Heavily changed after 55f036ca7e74 ("locking: WW mutex cleanup") and
08295b3b5bee ("locking: Implement an algorithm choice for Wound-Wait
mutexes")]
[jstultz: rebased to mainline, added extra wake_up_q &amp; init
 to avoid hangs, similar to Connor's rework of this patch]

<title>locking/mutex: Document that mutex_unlock() is non-atomic</title>

<id>a51749ab34d9e5dec548fe38ede7e01e8bb26454</id>
<content type='text'>
I have seen several cases of attempts to use mutex_unlock() to release an
object such that the object can then be freed by another task.

This is not safe because mutex_unlock(), in the
MUTEX_FLAG_WAITERS &amp;&amp; !MUTEX_FLAG_HANDOFF case, accesses the mutex
structure after having marked it as unlocked; so mutex_unlock() requires
its caller to ensure that the mutex stays alive until mutex_unlock()
returns.

If MUTEX_FLAG_WAITERS is set and there are real waiters, those waiters
have to keep the mutex alive, but we could have a spurious
MUTEX_FLAG_WAITERS left if an interruptible/killable waiter bailed
between the points where __mutex_unlock_slowpath() did the cmpxchg
reading the flags and where it acquired the wait_lock.

( With spinlocks, that kind of code pattern is allowed and, from what I
  remember, used in several places in the kernel. )

Document this, such a semantic difference between mutexes and spinlocks
is fairly unintuitive.

[ mingo: Made the changelog a bit more assertive, refined the comments. ]

The bcachefs implementation of six locks is intended to land in
generic locking code in the long term, but has been pulled into the
bcachefs subsystem for internal use for the time being. This code
lift breaks the bcachefs module build as six locks depend a couple
of the generic locking tracepoints. Export these tracepoint symbols
for bcachefs.

Have the trace_contention_*() tracepoints consistently include
adaptive spinning. In order to differentiate between the spinning and
non-spinning states add LCB_F_MUTEX and combine with LCB_F_SPIN.

The consequence is that a mutex contention can now triggler multiple
_begin() tracepoints before triggering an _end().

Additionally, this fixes one path where mutex would trigger _end()
without ever seeing a _begin().

This adds two new lock contention tracepoints like below:

 * lock:contention_begin
 * lock:contention_end

The lock:contention_begin takes a flags argument to classify locks.  I
found it useful to identify what kind of locks it's tracing like if
it's spinning or sleeping, reader-writer lock, real-time, and per-cpu.

Move tracepoint definitions into mutex.c so that we can use them
without lockdep.
