[PATCH -tip v2 0/4] rtmutex: Another crack at spin on owner

[Davidlohr Bueso]

Changes from v1:
  - Dropped patch 4 that removed the barrier in the deadlock path.
  - Added patch 2 (trivial) to use poison.h defines.
  - sprinkled READ/WRITE_ONCE around lock->owner, even if updated
    inside the cr.  (peterz)
  - More testing time.

This is a followup to proposal sometime ago to add spin on owner to rtmutexes.
My first attempt was rather permissive in that I tried avoiding the pi
dance and let the lock be stolen. However, due to -rt constraints this
series only deals with top-waiter, based on what we do in the preempt
rt patchset.

First two patches are trivial and the whole patchset as survived a week
of locktorture+pi_stress pounding at the same time without anything
breaking. That said, I'm sure it needs more testing and eyeballs, these
paths make my head hurt.

Thanks!
