[PATCH v12 02/11] qspinlock, x86: Enable x86-64 to use queue spinlock

From: Waiman Long <hidden>
Date: 2014-10-16 18:11:09
Also in: kvm, linux-arch, lkml
Subsystem: locking primitives, the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Peter Zijlstra, Ingo Molnar, Will Deacon, Boqun Feng, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

This patch makes the necessary changes at the x86 architecture
specific layer to enable the use of queue spinlock for x86-64. As
x86-32 machines are typically not multi-socket. The benefit of queue
spinlock may not be apparent. So queue spinlock is not enabled.

Currently, there is some incompatibilities between the para-virtualized
spinlock code (which hard-codes the use of ticket spinlock) and the
queue spinlock. Therefore, the use of queue spinlock is disabled when
the para-virtualized spinlock is enabled.

The arch/x86/include/asm/qspinlock.h header file includes some x86
specific optimization which will make the queue spinlock code perform
better than the generic implementation.
