HAProxy - Load balancer
The read-lock contention observed on the update lock while turning it
into an upgradable lock were due to false sharing with the nearby
updates. Simply moving the lock alone into its own cache line is
sufficient to almost double the performance again, raising from 2355
to 4480k RPS with very low contention:
Samples: 1M of event 'cycles', 4000 Hz, Event count (approx.): 743422995452 lost

Unfortunately, trying to move the line anywhere else didn't work,
despite the remaining holes, because this structure is not quite
clean. This adds 64 bytes to a struct that was already 768 long,
so it's now 832. It's possible to repack it a little bit and regain
these bytes by removing the THREAD_ALIGN before "keys" because we
rarely use the config stuff, but that's a bit unsafe.
