[Mesa-stable] [PATCH 1/2] gallivm: Allow drivers and state trackers to initialize gallivm LLVM targets

[Tom Stellard]

Drivers and state trackers that use LLVM for generating code, must
register the targets they use with LLVM's global TargetRegistry.
The TargetRegistry is not thread-safe, so all targets must be added
to the registry before it can be queried for target information.

When drivers and state trackers initialize their own targets, they need
a way to force gallivm to initialize its targets at the same time.
Otherwise, there can be a race condition in some multi-threaded
applications (e.g. glx-multihreaded-shader-compile in piglit),
when one thread creates a context for a driver that uses LLVM (e.g.
radeonsi) and another thread creates a gallivm context (glxContextCreate
does this).

The race happens when the driver thread initializes its LLVM targets and
then starts using the registry before the gallivm thread has a chance to
register its targets.

This patch allows users to force gallivm to register its targets by
adding two new functions:  gallivm_llvm_init_begin() which locks a mutex
guarding the TargetRegistry and initializes the gallivm targets, and
gallivm_llvm_init_end() which unlocks the mutex.

Drivers and state trackers should use this sequence to correctly
initialize the LLVM targets they use:

gallivm_init_llvm_begin();
LLVMInitializeFooTarget();
gallivm_init_llvm_end();
