*
* Basic futex operation and ordering guarantees
* =============================================
*
* The waiter reads the futex value in user space and calls
* futex_wait(). This function computes the hash bucket and acquires
* the hash bucket lock. After that it reads the futex user space value
* again and verifies that the data has not changed. If it has not changed
* it enqueues itself into the hash bucket, releases the hash bucket lock
* and schedules.
*
* The waker side modifies the user space value of the futex and calls
* futex_wake(). This function computes the hash bucket and acquires the
* hash bucket lock. Then it looks for waiters on that futex in the hash
* bucket and wakes them.
*
* In futex wake up scenarios where no tasks are blocked on a futex, taking
* the hb spinlock can be avoided and simply return. In order for this
* optimization to work, ordering guarantees must exist so that the waiter
* being added to the list is acknowledged when the list is concurrently being
* checked by the waker, avoiding scenarios like the following:
*
* CPU 0 CPU 1
* val = *futex;
* sys_futex(WAIT, futex, val);
* futex_wait(futex, val);
* uval = *futex;
