* Implementation notes: (May 2010)
* This file implements System V semaphores.
*
* User space visible behavior:
* - FIFO ordering for semop() operations (just FIFO, not starvation
* protection)
* - multiple semaphore operations that alter the same semaphore in
* one semop() are handled.
* - sem_ctime (time of last semctl()) is updated in the IPC_SET, SETVAL and
* SETALL calls.
* - two Linux specific semctl() commands: SEM_STAT, SEM_INFO.
* - undo adjustments at process exit are limited to 0..SEMVMX.
* - namespace are supported.
* - SEMMSL, SEMMNS, SEMOPM and SEMMNI can be configured at runtine by writing
* to /proc/sys/kernel/sem.
* - statistics about the usage are reported in /proc/sysvipc/sem.
*
* Internals:
* - scalability:
* - all global variables are read-mostly.
* - semop() calls and semctl(RMID) are synchronized by RCU.
* - most operations do write operations (actually: spin_lock calls) to
* the per-semaphore array structure.
* Thus: Perfect SMP scaling between independent semaphore arrays.
* If multiple semaphores in one array are used, then cache line
* trashing on the semaphore array spinlock will limit the scaling.
* - semncnt and semzcnt are calculated on demand in count_semncnt() and
* count_semzcnt()
* - the task that performs a successful semop() scans the list of all
* sleeping tasks and completes any pending operations that can be fulfilled.
* Semaphores are actively given to waiting tasks (necessary for FIFO).
* (see update_queue())
* - To improve the scalability, the actual wake-up calls are performed after
* dropping all locks. (see wake_up_sem_queue_prepare(),
* wake_up_sem_queue_do())
* - All work is done by the waker, the woken up task does not have to do
* anything - not even acquiring a lock or dropping a refcount.
* - A woken up task may not even touch the semaphore array anymore, it may
* have been destroyed already by a semctl(RMID).
* - The synchronizations between wake-ups due to a timeout/signal and a
* wake-up due to a completed semaphore operation is achieved by using an
* intermediate state (IN_WAKEUP).
* - UNDO values are stored in an array (one per process and per
* semaphore array, lazily allocated). For backwards compatibility, multiple
* modes for the UNDO variables are supported (per process, per thread)
* (see copy_semundo, CLONE_SYSVSEM)
* - There are two lists of the pending operations: a per-array list
* and per-semaphore list (stored in the array). This allows to achieve FIFO
* ordering without always scanning all pending operations.
* The worst-case behavior is nevertheless O(N^2) for N wakeups.
