Dave ran into horrible performance on a VM without PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS
set and Linus noted that the test-and-set implementation was retarded.
One should spin on the variable with a load, not a RMW.
While there, remove 'queued' from the name, as the lock isn't queued
at all, but a simple test-and-set.

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.

For an over-committed guest with more vCPUs than physical CPUs
available, it is possible that a vCPU may be kicked twice before
getting the lock - once before it becomes queue head and once again
before it gets the lock. All these CPU kicking and halting (VMEXIT)
can be expensive and slow down system performance.
This patch adds a new vCPU state (vcpu_hashed) which enables the code
to delay CPU kicking until at unlock time. Once this state is set,
the new lock holder will set _Q_SLOW_VAL and fill in the hash table
on behalf of the halted queue head vCPU. The original vcpu_halted
state will be used by pv_wait_node() only to differentiate other
queue nodes from the qeue head.

Currently, a reader will check first to make sure that the writer mode
byte is cleared before incrementing the reader count. That waiting is
not really necessary. It increases the latency in the reader/writer
to reader transition and reduces readers performance.
This patch eliminates that waiting. It also has the side effect
of reducing the chance of writer lock stealing and improving the
fairness of the lock. Using a locking microbenchmark, a 10-threads 5M
locking loop of mostly readers (RW ratio = 10,000:1) has the following
performance numbers in a Haswell-EX box:

When we unlock in __pv_queued_spin_unlock(), a failed cmpxchg() on the lock
value indicates that we need to take the slow-path and unhash the
corresponding node blocked on the lock.
Since a failed cmpxchg() does not provide any memory-ordering guarantees,
it is possible that the node data could be read before the cmpxchg() on
weakly-ordered architectures and therefore return a stale value, leading
to hash corruption and/or a BUG().
This patch adds an smb_rmb() following the failed cmpxchg operation, so
that the unhashing is ordered after the lock has been checked.

Enabling locking-selftest in a VM guest may cause the following
kernel panic:
kernel BUG at .../kernel/locking/qspinlock_paravirt.h:137!
This is due to the fact that the pvqspinlock unlock function is
expecting either a _Q_LOCKED_VAL or _Q_SLOW_VAL in the lock
byte. This patch prevents that bug report by ignoring it when
debug_locks_silent is set. Otherwise, a warning will be printed
if it contains an unexpected value.
With this patch applied, the kernel locking-selftest completed
without any noise.

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.

wake_futex_pi() wakes the task before releasing the hash bucket lock
(HB). The first thing the woken up task usually does is to acquire the
lock which requires the HB lock. On SMP Systems this leads to blocking

This patch rearranges the unlock path by first releasing the HB lock and

Jiri reported a machine stuck in multi_cpu_stop() with
migrate_swap_stop() as function and with the following src,dst cpu
pairs: {11, 4} {13, 11} { 4, 13}
4 11 13
cpuM: queue(4 ,13)
*Ma
cpuN: queue(13,11)
*N Na
*M Mb
cpuO: queue(11, 4)
*O Oa
*Nb
*Ob
Where *X denotes the cpu running the queueing of cpu-X and X[ab] denotes
the first/second queued work.
You'll observe the top of the workqueue for each cpu: 4,11,13 to be work
from cpus: M, O, N resp. IOW. deadlock.
Do away with the queueing trickery and introduce lg_double_lock() to
lock both CPUs and fully serialize the stop_two_cpus() callers instead
of the partial (and buggy) serialization we have now.

The current cmpxchg() loop in setting the _QW_WAITING flag for writers
in queue_write_lock_slowpath() will contend with incoming readers
causing possibly extra cmpxchg() operations that are wasteful. This
patch changes the code to do a byte cmpxchg() to eliminate contention
with new readers.
A multithreaded microbenchmark running 5M read_lock/write_lock loop

Add a lockdep annotation that WARNs if you 'accidentially' unlock a
lock.
This is especially helpful for code with callbacks, where the upper
layer assumes a lock remains taken but a lower layer thinks it maybe
can drop and reacquire the lock.
By unwittingly breaking up the lock, races can be introduced.
Lock pinning is a lockdep annotation that helps with this, when you
lockdep_pin_lock() a held lock, any unlock without a
lockdep_unpin_lock() will produce a WARN. Think of this as a relative
of lockdep_assert_held(), except you don't only assert its held now,
but ensure it stays held until you release your assertion.
RFC: a possible alternative API would be something like:
int cookie = lockdep_pin_lock(&foo);
...
lockdep_unpin_lock(&foo, cookie);
Where we pick a random number for the pin_count; this makes it
impossible to sneak a lock break in without also passing the right
cookie along.
I've not done this because it ends up generating code for !LOCKDEP,
esp. if you need to pass the cookie around for some reason.

Mark the task for later wakeup after the wait_lock has been released.
This way, once the next task is awoken, it will have a better chance
to of finding the wait_lock free when continuing executing in
__rt_mutex_slowlock() when trying to acquire the rtmutex, calling
try_to_take_rt_mutex(). Upon contended scenarios, other tasks attempting
take the lock may acquire it first, right after the wait_lock is released,
but (a) this can also occur with the current code, as it relies on the
spinlock fairness, and (b) we are dealing with the top-waiter anyway,
so it will always take the lock next.

The lock_class iteration of /proc/lock_stat is not serialized against
the lockdep_free_key_range() call from module unload.
Therefore it can happen that we find a class of which ->name/->key are
no longer valid.
There is a further bug in zap_class() that left ->name dangling. Cure
this. Use RCU_INIT_POINTER() because NULL.
Since lockdep_free_key_range() is rcu_sched serialized, we can read
both ->name and ->key under rcu_read_lock_sched() (preempt-disable)
and be assured that if we observe a !NULL value it stays safe to use
for as long as we hold that lock.
If we observe both NULL, skip the entry.

rt_mutex_trylock() must be called from thread context. It can be
called from atomic regions (preemption or interrupts disabled), but
not from hard/softirq/nmi context. Add a warning to alert abusers.
The reasons for this are:
1) There is a potential deadlock in the slowpath
2) Another cpu which blocks on the rtmutex will boost the task
which allegedly locked the rtmutex, but that cannot work
because the hard/softirq context borrows the task context.

The rtmutex code is the only user of __HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG and we have a few
other user of cmpxchg() which do not care about __HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG. This
define was first introduced in 23f78d4a0 ("[PATCH] pi-futex: rt mutex core")
which is v2.6.18. The generic cmpxchg was introduced later in 068fbad288
("Add cmpxchg_local to asm-generic for per cpu atomic operations") which is
v2.6.25.
Back then something was required to get rtmutex working with the fast
path on architectures without cmpxchg and this seems to be the result.
It popped up recently on rt-users because ARM (v6+) does not define
__HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG (even that it implements it) which results in slower
locking performance in the fast path.
To put some numbers on it: preempt -RT, am335x, 10 loops of
100000 invocations of rt_spin_lock() + rt_spin_unlock() (time "total" is
the average of the 10 loops for the 100000 invocations, "loop" is
"total / 100000 * 1000"):
cmpxchg | slowpath used || cmpxchg used
| total | loop || total | loop
--------|-----------|-------||------------|-------
ARMv6 | 9129.4 us | 91 ns || 3311.9 us | 33 ns
generic | 9360.2 us | 94 ns || 10834.6 us | 108 ns
----------------------------||--------------------
Forcing it to generic cmpxchg() made things worse for the slowpath and
even worse in cmpxchg() path. It boils down to 14ns more per lock+unlock
in a cache hot loop so it might not be that much in real world.
The last test was a substitute for pre ARMv6 machine but then I was able
to perform the comparison on imx28 which is ARMv5 and therefore is
always is using the generic cmpxchg implementation. And the numbers:
| total | loop
-------- |----------- |--------
slowpath | 263937.2 us | 2639 ns
cmpxchg | 16934.2 us | 169 ns
--------------------------------
The numbers are larger since the machine is slower in general. However,
letting rtmutex use cmpxchg() instead the slowpath seem to improve things.
Since from the ARM (tested on am335x + imx28) point of view always
using cmpxchg() in rt_mutex_lock() + rt_mutex_unlock() makes sense I
would drop the define.

Provide a separate (second) version of the spin_lock_slowpath for
paravirt along with a special unlock path.
The second slowpath is generated by adding a few pv hooks to the
normal slowpath, but where those will compile away for the native
case, they expand into special wait/wake code for the pv version.
The actual MCS queue can use extra storage in the mcs_nodes[] array to
keep track of state and therefore uses directed wakeups.
The head contender has no such storage directly visible to the
unlocker. So the unlocker searches a hash table with open addressing
using a simple binary Galois linear feedback shift register.

Currently, atomic_cmpxchg() is used to get the lock. However, this
is not really necessary if there is more than one task in the queue
and the queue head don't need to reset the tail code. For that case,
a simple write to set the lock bit is enough as the queue head will
be the only one eligible to get the lock as long as it checks that
both the lock and pending bits are not set. The current pending bit
waiting code will ensure that the bit will not be set as soon as the
tail code in the lock is set.
With that change, the are some slight improvement in the performance
of the queued spinlock in the 5M loop micro-benchmark run on a 4-socket
Westere-EX machine as shown in the tables below.

When we allow for a max NR_CPUS < 2^14 we can optimize the pending
wait-acquire and the xchg_tail() operations.
By growing the pending bit to a byte, we reduce the tail to 16bit.
This means we can use xchg16 for the tail part and do away with all
the repeated compxchg() operations.
This in turn allows us to unconditionally acquire; the locked state
as observed by the wait loops cannot change. And because both locked
and pending are now a full byte we can use simple stores for the
state transition, obviating one atomic operation entirely.
This optimization is needed to make the qspinlock achieve performance
parity with ticket spinlock at light load.
All this is horribly broken on Alpha pre EV56 (and any other arch that
cannot do single-copy atomic byte stores).

This is a preparatory patch that extracts out the following 2 code
snippets to prepare for the next performance optimization patch.
1) the logic for the exchange of new and previous tail code words
into a new xchg_tail() function.
2) the logic for clearing the pending bit and setting the locked bit
into a new clear_pending_set_locked() function.
This patch also simplifies the trylock operation before queuing by
calling queued_spin_trylock() directly.

Because the qspinlock needs to touch a second cacheline (the per-cpu
mcs_nodes[]); add a pending bit and allow a single in-word spinner
before we punt to the second cacheline.
It is possible so observe the pending bit without the locked bit when
the last owner has just released but the pending owner has not yet
taken ownership.
In this case we would normally queue -- because the pending bit is
already taken. However, in this case the pending bit is guaranteed
to be released 'soon', therefore wait for it and avoid queueing.

This patch introduces a new generic queued spinlock implementation that
can serve as an alternative to the default ticket spinlock. Compared
with the ticket spinlock, this queued spinlock should be almost as fair
as the ticket spinlock. It has about the same speed in single-thread
and it can be much faster in high contention situations especially when
the spinlock is embedded within the data structure to be protected.
Only in light to moderate contention where the average queue depth
is around 1-3 will this queued spinlock be potentially a bit slower
due to the higher slowpath overhead.
This queued spinlock is especially suit to NUMA machines with a large
number of cores as the chance of spinlock contention is much higher
in those machines. The cost of contention is also higher because of
slower inter-node memory traffic.
Due to the fact that spinlocks are acquired with preemption disabled,
the process will not be migrated to another CPU while it is trying
to get a spinlock. Ignoring interrupt handling, a CPU can only be
contending in one spinlock at any one time. Counting soft IRQ, hard
IRQ and NMI, a CPU can only have a maximum of 4 concurrent lock waiting
activities. By allocating a set of per-cpu queue nodes and used them
to form a waiting queue, we can encode the queue node address into a
much smaller 24-bit size (including CPU number and queue node index)
leaving one byte for the lock.
Please note that the queue node is only needed when waiting for the
lock. Once the lock is acquired, the queue node can be released to
be used later.

In up_write()/up_read(), rwsem_wake() will be called whenever it
detects that some writers/readers are waiting. The rwsem_wake()
function will take the wait_lock and call __rwsem_do_wake() to do the
real wakeup. For a heavily contended rwsem, doing a spin_lock() on
wait_lock will cause further contention on the heavily contended rwsem
cacheline resulting in delay in the completion of the up_read/up_write
operations.
This patch makes the wait_lock taking and the call to __rwsem_do_wake()
optional if at least one spinning writer is present. The spinning
writer will be able to take the rwsem and call rwsem_wake() later
when it calls up_write(). With the presence of a spinning writer,
rwsem_wake() will now try to acquire the lock using trylock. If that
fails, it will just quit.

T1 (prio = 10)
lock(rtmutex);
T2 (prio = 20)
lock(rtmutex)
boost T1
T1 (prio = 20)
sys_set_scheduler(prio = 30)
T1 prio = 30
....
sys_set_scheduler(prio = 10)
T1 prio = 30
The last step is wrong as T1 should now be back at prio 20.
Commit c365c292d0 ("sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()")
only handles the case where a boosted tasks tries to lower its
priority.
Fix it by taking the new effective priority into account for the
decision whether a change of the priority is required.

During sysrq's show-held-locks command it is possible that
hlock_class() returns NULL for a given lock. The result is then (after

This *might* happen because the thread on the other CPU drops the lock
after we are looking ->lockdep_depth and ->held_locks points no longer
to a lock that is held.
The fix here is to simply ignore it and continue.

breaking out of the spin loop on lock->owner != owner, we can
have the loop directly check for while (lock->owner == owner) to
improve the readability of the code.
It also shrinks the code a bit:

Module unload calls lockdep_free_key_range(), which removes entries
from the data structures. Most of the lockdep code OTOH assumes the
data structures are append only; in specific see the comments in
add_lock_to_list() and look_up_lock_class().
Clearly this has only worked by accident; make it work proper. The
actual scenario to make it go boom would involve the memory freed by
the module unlock being re-allocated and re-used for a lock inside of
a rcu-sched grace period. This is a very unlikely scenario, still
better plug the hole.
Use RCU list iteration in all places and ammend the comments.
Change lockdep_free_key_range() to issue a sync_sched() between
removal from the lists and returning -- which results in the memory
being freed. Further ensure the callers are placed correctly and
comment the requirements.

Ming reported soft lockups occurring when running xfstest due to
the following tip:locking/core commit:
b3fd4f03ca ("locking/rwsem: Avoid deceiving lock spinners")
When doing optimistic spinning in rwsem, threads should stop
spinning when the lock owner is not running. While a thread is
spinning on owner, if the owner reschedules, owner->on_cpu
returns false and we stop spinning.
However, this commit essentially caused the check to get
ignored because when we break out of the spin loop due to
!on_cpu, we continue spinning if sem->owner != NULL.
This patch fixes this by making sure we stop spinning if the
owner is not running. Furthermore, just like with mutexes,
refactor the code such that we don't have separate checks for
owner_running(). This makes it more straightforward in terms of
why we exit the spin on owner loop and we would also avoid
needing to "guess" why we broke out of the loop to make this
more readable.

- task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() (ret 0)
- __rt_mutex_slowlock()
- sleep or not but do return with __set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING)
- back to caller.
In the early error case where task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() return
-EDEADLK we never change the task's state back to RUNNING. I
assume this is intended. Without this change after ww_mutex

With the new standardized functions, we can replace all
ACCESS_ONCE() calls across relevant locking - this includes
lockref and seqlock while at it.
ACCESS_ONCE() does not work reliably on non-scalar types.
For example gcc 4.6 and 4.7 might remove the volatile tag
for such accesses during the SRA (scalar replacement of
aggregates) step:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145
Update the new calls regardless of if it is a scalar type,
this is cleaner than having three alternatives.

When readers hold the semaphore, the ->owner is nil. As such,
and unlike mutexes, '!owner' does not necessarily imply that
the lock is free. This will cause writers to potentially spin
excessively as they've been mislead to thinking they have a
chance of acquiring the lock, instead of blocking.
This patch therefore enhances the counter check when the owner
is not set by the time we've broken out of the loop. Otherwise
we can return true as a new owner has the lock and thus we want
to continue spinning. While at it, we can make rwsem_spin_on_owner()
less ambiguos and return right away under need_resched conditions.

In order to optimize the spinning step, we need to set the lock
owner as soon as the lock is acquired; after a successful counter
cmpxchg operation, that is. This is particularly useful as rwsems
need to set the owner to nil for readers, so there is a greater
chance of falling out of the spinning. Currently we only set the
owner much later in the game, in the more generic level -- latency
can be specially bad when waiting for a node->next pointer when
releasing the osq in up_write calls.
As such, update the owner inside rwsem_try_write_lock (when the
lock is obtained after blocking) and rwsem_try_write_lock_unqueued
(when the lock is obtained while spinning). This requires creating
a new internal rwsem.h header to share the owner related calls.
Also cleanup some headers for mutex and rwsem.

As suggested by Davidlohr, we could refactor mutex_spin_on_owner().
Currently, we split up owner_running() with mutex_spin_on_owner().
When the owner changes, we make duplicate owner checks which are not
necessary. It also makes the code a bit obscure as we are using a
second check to figure out why we broke out of the loop.
This patch modifies it such that we remove the owner_running() function
and the mutex_spin_on_owner() loop directly checks for if the owner changes,
if the owner is not running, or if we need to reschedule. If the owner
changes, we break out of the loop and return true. If the owner is not
running or if we need to reschedule, then break out of the loop and return
false.

In the mutex_spin_on_owner(), we return true only if lock->owner == NULL.
This was beneficial in situations where there were multiple threads
simultaneously spinning for the mutex. If another thread got the lock
while other spinner(s) were also doing mutex_spin_on_owner(), then the
other spinners would stop spinning. This workaround helped reduce the
chance that many spinners were simultaneously spinning for the mutex
which can help reduce contention in highly contended cases.
However, recent changes were made to the optimistic spinning code such
that instead of having all spinners simultaneously spin for the mutex,
we queue the spinners with an MCS lock such that only one thread spins
for the mutex at a time. Furthermore, the OSQ optimizations ensure that
spinners in the queue will stop waiting if it needs to reschedule.
Now, we don't have to worry about multiple threads spinning on owner
at the same time, and if lock->owner is not NULL at this point, it likely
means another thread happens to obtain the lock in the fastpath. In this
case, it would make sense for the spinner to continue spinning as long
as the spinner doesn't need to schedule and the mutex owner is running.
This patch changes this so that mutex_spin_on_owner() returns true when
the lock owner changes, which means a thread will only stop spinning
if it either needs to reschedule or if the lock owner is not running.
We saw up to a 5% performance improvement in the fserver workload with
this patch.

With task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() returning early -EDEADLK we never
add the waiter to the waitqueue. Later, we try to remove it via
remove_waiter() and go boom in rt_mutex_top_waiter() because
rb_entry() gives a NULL pointer.
( Tested on v3.18-RT where rtmutex is used for regular mutex and I
tried to get one twice in a row. )

We explicitly mark the task running after returning from
a __rt_mutex_slowlock() call, which does the actual sleeping
via wait-wake-trylocking. As such, this patch does two things:
(1) refactors the code so that setting current to TASK_RUNNING
is done by __rt_mutex_slowlock(), and not by the callers. The
downside to this is that it becomes a bit unclear when at what
point we block. As such I've added a comment that the task
blocks when calling __rt_mutex_slowlock() so readers can figure
out when it is running again.
(2) relaxes setting current's state through __set_current_state(),
instead of it's more expensive barrier alternative. There was no
need for the implied barrier as we're obviously not planning on
blocking.

Both mutexes and rwsems took a performance hit when we switched
over from the original mcs code to the cancelable variant (osq).
The reason being the use of smp_load_acquire() when polling for
node->locked. This is not needed as reordering is not an issue,
as such, relax the barrier semantics. Paul describes the scenario
nicely: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/19/405
- If we start polling before the insertion is complete, all that
happens is that the first few polls have no chance of seeing a lock
grant.
- Ordering the polling against the initialization -- the above
xchg() is already doing that for us.
The smp_load_acquire() when unqueuing make sense. In addition,
we don't need to worry about leaking the critical region as
osq is only used internally.
This impacts both regular and large levels of concurrency,

We have two flavors of the MCS spinlock: standard and cancelable (OSQ).
While each one is independent of the other, we currently mix and match
them. This patch:
- Moves the OSQ code out of mcs_spinlock.h (which only deals with the traditional
version) into include/linux/osq_lock.h. No unnecessary code is added to the
more global header file, anything locks that make use of OSQ must include
it anyway.
- Renames mcs_spinlock.c to osq_lock.c. This file only contains osq code.
- Introduces a CONFIG_LOCK_SPIN_ON_OWNER in order to only build osq_lock
if there is support for it.

We're going to make might_sleep() test for TASK_RUNNING, because
blocking without TASK_RUNNING will destroy the task state by setting
it to TASK_RUNNING.
There are a few occasions where its 'valid' to call blocking
primitives (and mutex_lock in particular) and not have TASK_RUNNING,
typically such cases are right before we set TASK_RUNNING anyhow.
Robustify the code by not assuming this; this has the beneficial side
effect of allowing optional code emission for fixing the above
might_sleep() false positives.

Commit f0bab73cb5 ("locking/lockdep: Restrict the use of recursive
read_lock() with qrwlock") changed lockdep to try and conform to the
qrwlock semantics which differ from the traditional rwlock semantics.
In particular qrwlock is fair outside of interrupt context, but in
interrupt context readers will ignore all fairness.
The problem modeling this is that read and write side have different
lock state (interrupts) semantics but we only have a single
representation of these. Therefore lockdep will get confused, thinking
the lock can cause interrupt lock inversions.
So revert it for now; the old rwlock semantics were already imperfectly
modeled and the qrwlock extra won't fit either.
If we want to properly fix this, I think we need to resurrect the work
by Gautham did a few years ago that split the read and write state of
locks:
http://lwn.net/Articles/332801/
FWIW the locking selftest that would've failed (and was reported by
Borislav earlier) is something like:
RL(X1); /* IRQ-ON */
LOCK(A);
UNLOCK(A);
RU(X1);
IRQ_ENTER();
RL(X1); /* IN-IRQ */
RU(X1);
IRQ_EXIT();
At which point it would report that because A is an IRQ-unsafe lock we
can suffer the following inversion:
CPU0 CPU1
lock(A)
lock(X1)
lock(A)
<IRQ>
lock(X1)
And this is 'wrong' because X1 can recurse (assuming the above lock are

Commit 9b0fc9c09f ("rwsem: skip initial trylock in rwsem_down_write_failed")
checks for if there are known active lockers in order to avoid write trylocking
using expensive cmpxchg() when it likely wouldn't get the lock.
However, a subsequent patch was added such that we directly
check for sem->count == RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS right before trying
that cmpxchg().
Thus, commit 9b0fc9c09f now just adds overhead.
This patch modifies it so that we only do a check for if
count == RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS.
Also, add a comment on why we do an "extra check" of count
before the cmpxchg().

Its quite easy to get mixed up with the names -- 'torture_spinlock_irq'
is not actually a valid spinlock name.

Add a "rw_lock" torture test to stress kernel rwlocks and their irq
variant. Reader critical regions are 5x longer than writers. As such
a similar ratio of lock acquisitions is seen in the statistics. In the
case of massive contention, both hold the lock for 1/10 of a second.

The amount of global variables is getting pretty ugly. Group variables
related to the execution (ie: not parameters) in a new context structure.

We can easily do so with our new reader lock support. Just an arbitrary
design default: readers have higher (5x) critical region latencies than
writers: 50 ms and 10 ms, respectively.

Most of it is based on what we already have for writers. This allows
readers to be very independent (and thus configurable), enabling
future module parameters to control things such as rw distribution.
Furthermore, readers have their own delaying function, allowing us
to test different rw critical region latencies, and stress locking
internals. Similarly, statistics, for now will only serve for the
number of lock acquisitions -- as opposed to writers, readers have
no failure detection.
In addition, introduce a new nreaders_stress module parameter. The
default number of readers will be the same number of writers threads.
Writer threads are interleaved with readers. Documentation is updated,
respectively.

When performing module cleanups by calling torture_cleanup() the
'torture_type' string in nullified However, callers are not necessarily
done, and might still need to reference the variable. This impacts
both rcutorture and locktorture, causing printing things like:
[ 94.226618] (null)-torture: Stopping lock_torture_writer task
[ 94.226624] (null)-torture: Stopping lock_torture_stats task
Thus delay this operation until the very end of the cleanup process.
The consequence (which shouldn't matter for this kid of program) is,
of course, that we delay the window between rmmod and modprobing,
for instance in module_torture_begin().

The statistics structure can serve well for both reader and writer
locks, thus simply rename some fields that mention 'write' and leave
the declaration of lwsa.
