[PATCH v4 3/7] libstdc++ futex: Support waiting on std::chrono::steady_clock directly


The user-visible effect of this change is for std::future::wait_until to
use CLOCK_MONOTONIC when passed a timeout of std::chrono::steady_clock
type.  This makes it immune to any changes made to the system clock
CLOCK_REALTIME.

Add an overload of __atomic_futex_unsigned::_M_load_and_text_until_impl
that accepts a std::chrono::steady_clock, and correctly passes this through
to __atomic_futex_unsigned_base::_M_futex_wait_until_steady which uses
CLOCK_MONOTONIC for the timeout within the futex system call.  These
functions are mostly just copies of the std::chrono::system_clock versions
with small tweaks.

Prior to this commit, a std::chrono::steady timeout would be converted via
std::chrono::system_clock which risks reducing or increasing the timeout if
someone changes CLOCK_REALTIME whilst the wait is happening.  (The commit
immediately prior to this one increases the window of opportunity for that
from a short period during the calculation of a relative timeout, to the
entire duration of the wait.)

FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET was added in kernel v2.6.25.  If futex reports ENOSYS to
indicate that this operation is not supported then the code falls back to
using clock_gettime(2) to calculate a relative time to wait for.

I believe that I've added this functionality in a way that it doesn't break
ABI compatibility, but that has made it more verbose and less type safe.  I
believe that it would be better to maintain the timeout as an instance of
the correct clock type all the way down to a single _M_futex_wait_until
function with an overload for each clock.  The current scheme of separating
out the seconds and nanoseconds early risks accidentally calling the wait
function for the wrong clock.  Unfortunately, doing this would break code
that compiled against the old header.

	* libstdc++-v3/config/abi/pre/gnu.ver: Update for addition of
          __atomic_futex_unsigned_base::_M_futex_wait_until_steady.

	* libstdc++-v3/include/bits/atomic_futex.h
          (__atomic_futex_unsigned_base): Add comments to clarify that
          _M_futex_wait_until _M_load_and_test_until use CLOCK_REALTIME.
          Declare new _M_futex_wait_until_steady and
          _M_load_and_text_until_steady methods that use CLOCK_MONOTONIC.
          Add _M_load_and_test_until_impl and _M_load_when_equal_until
          overloads that accept a steady_clock time_point and use these new
          methods.

	* libstdc++-v3/src/c++11/futex.cc: Include headers required for
	clock_gettime. Add futex_clock_monotonic_flag constant to tell
	futex to use CLOCK_MONOTONIC to match the existing
	futex_clock_realtime_flag.  Add futex_clock_monotonic_unavailable
	to store the result of trying to use
	CLOCK_MONOTONIC. (__atomic_futex_unsigned_base::_M_futex_wait_until_steady):
	Add new variant of _M_futex_wait_until that uses CLOCK_MONOTONIC to
	support waiting using steady_clock.
