xen: implement Xen-specific spinlocks
The standard ticket spinlocks are very expensive in a virtual
environment, because their performance depends on Xen's scheduler
giving vcpus time in the order that they're supposed to take the
spinlock.
This implements a Xen-specific spinlock, which should be much more
efficient.
The fast-path is essentially the old Linux-x86 locks, using a single
lock byte. The locker decrements the byte; if the result is 0, then
they have the lock. If the lock is negative, then locker must spin
until the lock is positive again.
When there's contention, the locker spin for 2^16[*] iterations waiting
to get the lock. If it fails to get the lock in that time, it adds
itself to the contention count in the lock and blocks on a per-cpu
event channel.
When unlocking the spinlock, the locker looks to see if there's anyone
blocked waiting for the lock by checking for a non-zero waiter count.
If there's a waiter, it traverses the per-cpu "lock_spinners"
variable, which contains which lock each CPU is waiting on. It picks
one CPU waiting on the lock and sends it an event to wake it up.
This allows efficient fast-path spinlock operation, while allowing
spinning vcpus to give up their processor time while waiting for a
contended lock.
[*] 2^16 iterations is threshold at which 98% locks have been taken
according to Thomas Friebel's Xen Summit talk "Preventing Guests from
Spinning Around". Therefore, we'd expect the lock and unlock slow
paths will only be entered 2% of the time.
