This fixes the lost wakeup (from a bug in signal stealing) with a change
in the usage of g_signals[] in the condition variable internal state.
It also completely eliminates the concept and handling of signal stealing,
as well as the need for signalers to block to wait for waiters to wake
up every time there is a G1/G2 switch. This greatly reduces the average
and maximum latency for pthread_cond_signal.
The g_signals[] field now contains a signal count that is relative to
the current g1_start value. Since it is a 32-bit field, and the LSB is
still reserved (though not currently used anymore), it has a 31-bit value
that corresponds to the low 31 bits of the sequence number in g1_start.
(since g1_start also has an LSB flag, this means bits 31:1 in g_signals
correspond to bits 31:1 in g1_start, plus the current signal count)
By making the signal count relative to g1_start, there is no longer
any ambiguity or A/B/A issue, and thus any checks before blocking,
including the futex call itself, are guaranteed not to block if the G1/G2
switch occurs, even if the signal count remains the same. This allows
initially safely blocking in G2 until the switch to G1 occurs, and
then transitioning from G1 to a new G1 or G2, and always being able to
distinguish the state change. This removes the race condition and A/B/A
problems that otherwise ocurred if a late (pre-empted) waiter were to
resume just as the futex call attempted to block on g_signal since
otherwise there was no last opportunity to re-check things like whether
the current G1 group was already closed.
By fixing these issues, the signal stealing code can be eliminated,
since there is no concept of signal stealing anymore. The code to block
for all waiters to exit g_refs can also be removed, since any waiters
that are still in the g_refs region can be guaranteed to safely wake
up and exit. If there are still any left at this time, they are all
sent one final futex wakeup to ensure that they are not blocked any
longer, but there is no need for the signaller to block and wait for
them to wake up and exit the g_refs region.
The signal count is then effectively "zeroed" but since it is now
relative to g1_start, this is done by advancing it to a new value that
can be observed by any pending blocking waiters. Any late waiters can
always tell the difference, and can thus just cleanly exit if they are
in a stale G1 or G2. They can never steal a signal from the current
G1 if they are not in the current G1, since the signal value that has
to match in the cmpxchg has the low 31 bits of the g1_start value
contained in it, and that's first checked, and then it won't match if
there's a G1/G2 change.
Note: the 31-bit sequence number used in g_signals is designed to
handle wrap-around when checking the signal count, but if the entire
31-bit wraparound (2 billion signals) occurs while there is still a
late waiter that has not yet resumed, and it happens to then match
the current g1_start low bits, and the pre-emption occurs after the
normal "closed group" checks (which are 64-bit) but then hits the
futex syscall and signal consuming code, then an A/B/A issue could
still result and cause an incorrect assumption about whether it
should block. This particular scenario seems unlikely in practice.
Note that once awake from the futex, the waiter would notice the
closed group before consuming the signal (since that's still a 64-bit
check that would not be aliased in the wrap-around in g_signals),
so the biggest impact would be blocking on the futex until the next
full wakeup from a G1/G2 switch.

This wake is unnecessary. We only switch groups after every sleeper in a group
has been woken. Sure, they may take a while to actually wake up and may still
hold a reference, but waking them a second time doesn't speed that up. Instead
this just makes the code more complicated and may hide problems.
In particular this safety wake wouldn't even have helped with the bug that was
fixed by Barrus' patch: The bug there was that pthread_cond_signal would not
switch g1 when it should, so we wouldn't even have entered this code path.

pthread_cond_wait was checking whether it was in a closed group no less than
four times. Checking once is enough. Here are the four checks:
1. While spin-waiting. This was dead code: maxspin is set to 0 and has been
for years.
2. Before deciding to go to sleep, and before incrementing grefs: I kept this
3. After incrementing grefs. There is no reason to think that the group would
close while we do an atomic increment. Obviously it could close at any
point, but that doesn't mean we have to recheck after every step. This
check was equally good as check 2, except it has to do more work.
4. When we find ourselves in a group that has a signal. We only get here after
we check that we're not in a closed group. There is no need to check again.
The check would only have helped in cases where the compare_exchange in the
next line would also have failed. Relying on the compare_exchange is fine.
Removing the duplicate checks clarifies the code.

This variable used to be needed to wait in group switching until all sleepers
have confirmed that they have woken. This is no longer needed. Nothing waits
on this variable so there is no need to track how many threads are currently
asleep in each group.

The loop was a little more complicated than necessary. There was only one
break statement out of the inner loop, and the outer loop was nearly empty.
So just remove the outer loop, moving its code to the one break statement in
the inner loop. This allows us to replace all gotos with break statements.

In my previous change I turned a nested loop into a simple loop. I'm doing
the resulting indentation changes in a separate commit to make the diff on
the previous commit easier to review.

From: Malte Skarupke <malteskarupke@fastmail.fm>
The LSB of g_signals was unused. The LSB of g1_start was used to indicate
which group is G2. This was used to always go to sleep in pthread_cond_wait
if a waiter is in G2. A comment earlier in the file says that this is not
correct to do:
"Waiters cannot determine whether they are currently in G2 or G1 -- but they
do not have to because all they are interested in is whether there are
available signals"
I either would have had to update the comment, or get rid of the check. I
chose to get rid of the check. In fact I don't quite know why it was there.
There will never be available signals for group G2, so we didn't need the
special case. Even if there were, this would just be a spurious wake. This
might have caught some cases where the count has wrapped around, but it
wouldn't reliably do that, (and even if it did, why would you want to force a
sleep in that case?) and we don't support that many concurrent waiters
anyway. Getting rid of it allows us to use one more bit, making us more
robust to wraparound.
