[IA64] implement ticket locks for Itanium
Back in January 2008 Nick Piggin implemented "ticket" spinlocks for X86 (See commit 314cdbefd1fd0a7acf3780e9628465b77ea6a836). IA64 implementation has a couple of differences because of the available atomic operations ... e.g. we have no fetchadd2 instruction that operates on a 16-bit quantity so we make ticket locks use a 32-bit word for each of the current ticket and now-serving values. Performance on uncontended locks is about 8% worse than the previous implementation, but this seems a good trade for determinism in the contended case. Performance impact on macro-level benchmarks is in the noise. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

- * This routine handles spinlock contention. It uses a non-standard calling
- * convention to avoid converting leaf routines into interior routines. Because
- * of this special convention, there are several restrictions:
- *
- * - do not use gp relative variables, this code is called from the kernel
- * and from modules, r1 is undefined.
- * - do not use stacked registers, the caller owns them.
- * - do not use the scratch stack space, the caller owns it.
- * - do not use any registers other than the ones listed below
- *
- * Inputs:
- * ar.pfs - saved CFM of caller
- * ar.ccv - 0 (and available for use)
- * r27 - flags from spin_lock_irqsave or 0. Must be preserved.
- * r28 - available for use.
- * r29 - available for use.
- * r30 - available for use.
- * r31 - address of lock, available for use.
- * b6 - return address
- * p14 - available for use.
- * p15 - used to track flag status.
- *
- * If you patch this code to use more registers, do not forget to update
- * the clobber lists for spin_lock() in arch/ia64/include/asm/spinlock.h.
