libc: optimize pthread mutex lock/unlock operations (1/2)
This patch provides several small optimizations to the
implementation of mutex locking and unlocking. Note that
a following patch will get rid of the global recursion
lock, and provide a few more aggressive changes, I
though it'd be simpler to split this change in two parts.
+ New behaviour: pthread_mutex_lock et al now detect
recursive mutex overflows and will return EAGAIN in
this case, as suggested by POSIX. Before, the counter
would just wrap to 0.
- Remove un-necessary reloads of the mutex value from memory
by storing it in a local variable (mvalue)
- Remove un-necessary reload of the mutex value by passing
the 'shared' local variable to _normal_lock / _normal_unlock
- Remove un-necessary reload of the mutex value by using a
new macro (MUTEX_VALUE_OWNER()) to compare the thread id
for recursive/errorcheck mutexes
- Use a common inlined function to increment the counter
of a recursive mutex. Also do not use the global
recursion lock in this case to speed it up.
