[PATCH 2/4] futex2: Implement vectorized wait

From: André Almeida
Date: Thu Aug 05 2021 - 15:05:08 EST


Add support to wait on multiple futexes. This is the interface
implemented by this syscall:

futex_waitv(struct futex_waitv *waiters, unsigned int nr_futexes,
unsigned int flags, struct timespec *timo)

struct futex_waitv {
__u64 val;
void *uaddr;
unsigned int flags;
};

Given an array of struct futex_waitv, wait on each uaddr. The thread
wakes if a futex_wake() is performed at any uaddr. The syscall returns
immediately if any waiter has *uaddr != val. *timo is an optional
timeout value for the operation. The flags argument of the syscall
should be used solely for specifying the timeout clock as realtime, if
needed. Flags for shared futexes, sizes, etc. should be used on the
individual flags of each waiter.

Returns the array index of one of the awakened futexes. There’s no given
information of how many were awakened, or any particular attribute of it
(if it’s the first awakened, if it is of the smaller index...).
