- Use spinlock_enter()/spinlock_exit() to prevent a thread holding a
debug lock from being preempted to prevent other threads waiting
on that lock from starvation.
- Handle the possibility of CPU migration in between the fetch of curcpu
and the call to spinlock_enter() by saving curcpu in a local variable.
- Use memory barriers to prevent reordering of loads and stores of the
data protected by the lock outside of the critical section
- Eliminate false sharing of the locks by moving them into the structures
that they protect and aligning them to a cacheline boundary.
- Record the owning thread in the lock to make debugging future problems
easier.
