nptl: Fix pthread_rwlock_try*lock stalls (Bug 23844) For a full analysis of both the pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock() stall and the pthread_rwlock_trywrlock() stall see: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23844#c14 In the pthread_rwlock_trydlock() function we fail to inspect for PTHREAD_RWLOCK_FUTEX_USED in __wrphase_futex and wake the waiting readers. In the pthread_rwlock_trywrlock() function we write 1 to __wrphase_futex and loose the setting of the PTHREAD_RWLOCK_FUTEX_USED bit, again failing to wake waiting readers during unlock. The fix in the case of pthread_rwlock_trydlock() is to check for PTHREAD_RWLOCK_FUTEX_USED and wake the readers. The fix in the case of pthread_rwlock_trywrlock() is to only write 1 to __wrphase_futex if we installed the write phase, since all other readers would be spinning waiting for this step. We add two new tests, one exercises the stall for pthread_rwlock_trywrlock() which is easy to exercise, and one exercises the stall for pthread_rwlock_trydlock() which is harder to exercise. The pthread_rwlock_trywrlock() test fails consistently without the fix, and passes after. The pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock() test fails roughly 5-10% of the time without the fix, and passes all the time after.
