[PATCH v3 3/6] powerpc: lib/locks.c: Add cpu yield/wake helper function

From: Pan Xinhui <hidden>
Date: 2016-05-25 08:22:02
Also in: linuxppc-dev, lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), locking primitives, the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Peter Zijlstra, Ingo Molnar, Will Deacon, Boqun Feng, Linus Torvalds

pv-qspinlock core has pv_wait/pv_kick which will give a better
performace by yielding and kicking cpu at some cases.
lets support them by adding two corresponding helper functions.

Signed-off-by: Pan Xinhui <redacted>
