selftests/bpf: Introduce arena spin lock
Implement queued spin lock algorithm as BPF program for lock words
living in BPF arena.
The algorithm is copied from kernel/locking/qspinlock.c and adapted for
BPF use.
We first implement abstract helpers for portable atomics and
acquire/release load instructions, by relying on X86_64 presence to
elide expensive barriers and rely on implementation details of the JIT,
and fall back to slow but correct implementations elsewhere. When
support for acquire/release load/stores lands, we can improve this
state.
Then, the qspinlock algorithm is adapted to remove dependence on
multi-word atomics due to lack of support in BPF ISA. For instance,
xchg_tail cannot use 16-bit xchg, and needs to be a implemented as a
32-bit try_cmpxchg loop.
Loops which are seemingly infinite from verifier PoV are annotated with
cond_break_label macro to return an error. Only 1024 NR_CPUs are
supported.
Note that the slow path is a global function, hence the verifier doesn't
know the return value's precision. The recommended way of usage is to
always test against zero for success, and not ret < 0 for error, as the
verifier would assume ret > 0 has not been accounted for. Add comments
in the function documentation about this quirk.
