[v7,07/73] cpu: make per-CPU locks an alias of the BQL in TCG rr mode

Commit Message

Emilio Cota March 4, 2019, 6:17 p.m. UTC

Before we can switch from the BQL to per-CPU locks in
the CPU loop, we have to accommodate the fact that TCG
rr mode (i.e. !MTTCG) cannot work with separate per-vCPU
locks. That would lead to deadlock since we need a single
lock/condvar pair on which to wait for events that affect
any vCPU, e.g. in qemu_tcg_rr_wait_io_event.

At the same time, we are moving towards an interface where
the BQL and CPU locks are independent, and the only requirement
is that the locking order is respected, i.e. the BQL is
acquired first if both locks have to be held at the same time.

In this patch we make the BQL a recursive lock under the hood.
This allows us to (1) keep the BQL and CPU locks interfaces
separate, and (2) use a single lock for all vCPUs in TCG rr mode.

Note that the BQL's API (qemu_mutex_lock/unlock_iothread) remains
non-recursive.
