Split threads.h into several files, where each of these files defines
all lock types and macro's.
threads.h defines the normal case
threads-debug.h defines the debug variants
threads-profile.h defines the lock profiling variants
Finally, threads-arch-tile.h moves the Tilera specifics out
On Tile, replace pthread_mutex_locks with queued spin locks (ticket
locks) for dataplane processing code. This is safe when running on
dataplane cores with one thread per core. The condition variables are
no-ops when the thread is spinning anyway.
For control plane threads, unix-manager, stats-logs, thread startup,
use pthread_mutex_locks. For these locks replaced SCMutex with SCCtrlMutex
and SCCond with SCCtrlCond.
Add profiling per lock location in the code. Accounts how often a
lock is requested, how often it was contended, the max number of
ticks spent waiting for it, avg number of ticks waiting for it and
the total ticks for that location.
Added a new configure flag --enable-profiling-locks to enable this
feature.
This patch fixes compilation on OpenBSD platform. It is running
fine on a pcap file. The patch should also fix compilation on
WIN32 platform but this is not tested.
