    ditch the priority inheritance locks; use malloc's version of lock · 4750cf42
    Rich Felker 提交于
    i did some testing trying to switch malloc to use the new internal
    lock with priority inheritance, and my malloc contention test got
    20-100 times slower. if priority inheritance futexes are this slow,
    it's simply too high a price to pay for avoiding priority inversion.
    maybe we can consider them somewhere down the road once the kernel
    folks get their act together on this (and perferably don't link it to
    glibc's inefficient lock API)...
    
    as such, i've switch __lock to use malloc's implementation of
    lightweight locks, and updated all the users of the code to use an
    array with a waiter count for their locks. this should give optimal
    performance in the vast majority of cases, and it's simple.
    
    malloc is still using its own internal copy of the lock code because
    it seems to yield measurably better performance with -O3 when it's
    inlined (20% or more difference in the contention stress test).
