ipc/sem: Rework semaphore wakeups
Current sysv sems have a weird ass wakeup scheme that involves keeping preemption disabled over a potential O(n^2) loop and busy waiting on that on other CPUs. Kill this and simply wake the task directly from under the sem_lock. This was discovered by a migrate_disable() debug feature that disallows: spin_lock(); preempt_disable(); spin_unlock() preempt_enable(); Cc: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Suggested-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reported-by: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1315994224.5040.1.camel@twins Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
