Outside of the locking code itself, {read,spin,write}_can_lock() have no users in tree. Apparmor (the last remaining user of write_can_lock()) got moved over to lockdep by the previous patch. This patch removes the use of {read,spin,write}_can_lock() from the BUILD_LOCK_OPS macro, deferring to the trylock operation for testing the lock status, and subsequently removes the unused macros altogether. They aren't guaranteed to work in a concurrent environment and can give incorrect results in the case of qrwlock.

This patch aims to get rid of endianness in queued_write_unlock(). We want to set __qrwlock->wmode to NULL, however the address is not &lock->cnts in big endian machine. That causes queued_write_unlock() write NULL to the wrong field of __qrwlock. So implement __qrwlock_write_byte() which returns the correct __qrwlock->wmode address.

The qrwlock implementation is slightly heavy in its use of memory barriers, mainly through the use of _cmpxchg() and _return() atomics, which imply full barrier semantics. This patch modifies the qrwlock code to use the more relaxed atomic routines so that we can reduce the unnecessary barrier overhead on weakly-ordered architectures.

Since the following commit: 536fa402 ("compiler: Allow 1- and 2-byte smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release()") smp_store_release() supports byte accesses, so use that in writer unlock and remove the conditional macro override.

The qrwlock is fair in the process context, but becoming unfair when in the interrupt context to support use cases like the tasklist_lock. The current code isn't that well-documented on what happens when in the interrupt context. The rspin_until_writer_unlock() will only spin if the writer has gotten the lock. If the writer is still in the waiting state, the increment in the reader count will cause the writer to remain in the waiting state and the new interrupt context reader will get the lock and return immediately. The current code, however, does an additional read of the lock value which is not necessary as the information has already been there in the fast path. This may sometime cause an additional cacheline transfer when the lock is highly contended. This patch passes the lock value information gotten in the fast path to the slow path to eliminate the additional read. It also documents the action for the interrupt context readers more clearly.

To sync up with the naming convention used in qspinlock, all the qrwlock functions were renamed to started with "queued" instead of "queue".

This rwlock uses the arch_spin_lock_t as a waitqueue, and assuming the arch_spin_lock_t is a fair lock (ticket,mcs etc..) the resulting rwlock is a fair lock. It fits in the same 8 bytes as the regular rwlock_t by folding the reader and writer count into a single integer, using the remaining 4 bytes for the arch_spinlock_t. Architectures that can single-copy adress bytes can optimize queue_write_unlock() with a 0 write to the LSB (the write count).
