With a contended unique lock, we forgot to reset the `Expected` value to
zero. This was causing a contended mutex to incorrectly succeed.
Noticed this when converting some pthread mutexes over to spinloops to
remove strace noise.
The reference wfe_mutex library I wrote didn't have this problem since
the implementation is slightly different.
We had a chance of doing an additional bogus wfe if the expected value
was hit in one iteration of a loop. Not the biggest problem on current
hardware where WFE only ever sleeps for 1-4 system cycles, but on future
hardware where WFE might actually sleep for longer then this could have
been an issue.
Currently no functional change but public API breaks should come early.
The thread state object will be used for looking up thread specific
codebuffers in the future when we support MDWE with code mirrors.
When attempting to read files that aren't backed by a filesystem then
our current read file helpers fail since they query the file size
upfront.
Change the helper so that it doesn't query the size and just reads the file if it
can be opened. This lets us read `/proc/self/maps` using helpers.
With WOW, all allocations from 64-bit code use the full address space
and limiting is handled on the syscall thunk side so theres need to
worry about STL allocations stealing AS.
Due to Intel dropping support for legacy segment registers[1] there is a
concern that this will break legacy 32-bit software that is doing some
magic segment register handling.
Adds some simple telemetry for 32-bit applications that when they
encounter an instruction that sets the segment register or uses a
segment register that the JIT will do a /relatively/ quick four
instruction check to see if it is not a null segment.
It's not enough to just check if the segment index is 0 or not, 32-bit
Linux software starts with non-zero segment register indexes but the LDT
for each segment index is a null-descriptor.
Once the segment address is loaded, the IR operation will do a quick
check against zero and if it /isn't/ zero then set the telemetry value.
A very minor optimization that segment registers only get checked once
per block to ensure overhead stays low.

- 3.6 - Restricted Subset of Segmentation
- `Bases are supported for FS, GS, GDT, IDT, LDT, and TSS
registers; the base for CS, DS, ES, and SS is ignored for 32-bit
mode, same as 64-bit mode (treated as zero).`
- 4.2.17 - MOV to Segment Register
- Will fault if SS is written (Breaking anything that writes to
SS).
- Will not fault if CS, DS, ES are written (Thus it sets the
segment but gets ignored due to 3.6).
It is not an external component, and it makes paths needlessly long.
Ryan seemed amenable to this when we discussed on IRC earlier.
