Nicolai Hähnle 6baa5c60a9 locking/ww_mutex: Add waiters in stamp order
Add regular waiters in stamp order. Keep adding waiters that have no
context in FIFO order and take care not to starve them.

While adding our task as a waiter, back off if we detect that there is
a waiter with a lower stamp in front of us.

Make sure to call lock_contended even when we back off early.

For w/w mutexes, being first in the wait list is only stable when
taking the lock without a context. Therefore, the purpose of the first
flag is split into two: 'first' remains to indicate whether we want to
spin optimistically, while 'handoff' indicates that we should be
prepared to accept a handoff.

For w/w locking with a context, we always accept handoffs after the
first schedule(), to handle the following sequence of events:

 1. Task #0 unlocks and hands off to Task #2 which is first in line

 2. Task #1 adds itself in front of Task #2

 3. Task #2 wakes up and must accept the handoff even though it is no
    longer first in line

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
