[BZ #16892]
* sysdeps/nptl/lowlevellock.h (__lll_timedlock): Use
atomic_compare_and_exchange_bool_acq rather than atomic_exchange_acq.
This patch removes configure tests for assembler CFI support (and
thereby eliminates an architecture-specific case in the main
configure.ac), instead assuming that support is present
unconditionally.
The main test was added in 2003 around the time CFI support was added
to the assembler. cfi_personality and cfi_lsda support were added to
the assembler in 2006. cfi_sections support was added in 2009, a few
weeks before binutils 2.20 was released; it's in 2.20, the minimum
supported version, so even that configure test is obsolete.
Tested x86_64 that the installed shared libraries are unchanged by
this patch.
* configure.ac (libc_cv_asm_cfi_directives): Remove configure
test.
* configure: Regenerated.
* config.h.in (HAVE_ASM_CFI_DIRECTIVES): Remove macro undefine.
* sysdeps/arm/configure.ac (libc_cv_asm_cfi_directive_sections):
Remove configure test.
* sysdeps/arm/configure: Regenerated.
* sysdeps/nptl/configure.ac: Do not check
libc_cv_asm_cfi_directives.
* sysdeps/nptl/configure: Regenerated.
* sysdeps/x86_64/nptl/configure.ac: Remove file.
* sysdeps/x86_64/nptl/configure: Remove generated file.
* b/sysdeps/generic/sysdep.h [HAVE_ASM_CFI_DIRECTIVES]: Make code
unconditional.
[!HAVE_ASM_CFI_DIRECTIVES]: Remove conditional code.
This patch relies on the C version of the rwlocks posted earlier.
With C rwlocks it is very straight forward to do adaptive elision
using TSX. It is based on the infrastructure added earlier
for mutexes, but uses its own elision macros. The macros
are fairly general purpose and could be used for other
elision purposes too.
This version is much cleaner than the earlier assembler based
version, and in particular implements adaptation which makes
it safer.
I changed the behavior slightly to not require any changes
in the test suite and fully conform to all expected
behaviors (generally at the cost of not eliding in
various situations). In particular this means the timedlock
variants are not elided. Nested trylock aborts.
