Tycho Andersen 2dd6fd2e99 locking/semaphore: Update the file path in documentation
While reading this header I noticed that the locking stuff has moved to
kernel/locking/*, so update the path in semaphore.h to point to that.

Thomas Gleixner 8292c9e15c locking, semaphores: Annotate inner lock as raw
There is no reason to have the spin_lock protecting the semaphore
preemptible on -rt. Annotate it as a raw_spinlock.

In mainline this change documents the low level nature of
the lock - otherwise there's no functional difference. Lockdep
and Sparse checking will work as usual.

( On rt this also solves lockdep complaining about the
  rt_mutex.wait_lock being not initialized. )

Thomas Gleixner 4882720b26 semaphore: Remove mutex emulation
Semaphores used as mutexes have been deprecated for years. Now that
all users are either converted to real semaphores or to mutexes remove
the cruft.

Thomas Gleixner febc88c594 semaphore: Add DEFINE_SEMAPHORE
The full cleanup of init_MUTEX[_LOCKED] and DECLARE_MUTEX has not been
done. Some of the users are real semaphores and we should name them as
such instead of confusing everyone with "MUTEX".

Provide the infrastructure to get finally rid of init_MUTEX[_LOCKED]
and DECLARE_MUTEX.

Matthew Wilcox 714493cd54 Improve semaphore documentation
Move documentation from semaphore.h to semaphore.c as requested by
Andrew Morton.  Also reformat to kernel-doc style and add some more
notes about the implementation.

Matthew Wilcox b17170b2fa Simplify semaphore implementation
By removing the negative values of 'count' and relying on the wait_list to
indicate whether we have any waiters, we can simplify the implementation
by removing the protection against an unlikely race condition.  Thanks to
David Howells for his suggestions.

Matthew Wilcox f1241c87a1 Add down_timeout and change ACPI to use it
ACPI currently emulates a timeout for semaphores with calls to
down_trylock and sleep.  This produces horrible behaviour in terms of
fairness and excessive wakeups.  Now that we have a unified semaphore
implementation, adding a real down_trylock is almost trivial.

Matthew Wilcox 64ac24e738 Generic semaphore implementation
Semaphores are no longer performance-critical, so a generic C
implementation is better for maintainability, debuggability and
extensibility.  Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for fixing the lockdep
warning.  Thanks to Harvey Harrison for pointing out that the
unlikely() was unnecessary.
