[PATCH v2 0/4] implement vcpu preempted check

From: Pan Xinhui <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-28 10:44:07
Also in: linux-s390, linuxppc-dev, lkml

change fomr v1:
	a simplier definition of default vcpu_is_preempted
	skip mahcine type check on ppc, and add config. remove dedicated macro.
	add one patch to drop overload of rwsem_spin_on_owner and mutex_spin_on_owner. 
	add more comments
	thanks boqun and Peter's suggestion.

This patch set aims to fix lock holder preemption issues.

test-case:
perf record -a perf bench sched messaging -g 400 -p && perf report

18.09%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] osq_lock
12.28%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] rwsem_spin_on_owner
 5.27%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] mutex_unlock
 3.89%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] wait_consider_task
 3.64%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] _raw_write_lock_irq
 3.41%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] mutex_spin_on_owner.is
 2.49%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] system_call

We introduce interface bool vcpu_is_preempted(int cpu) and use it in some spin
loops of osq_lock, rwsem_spin_on_owner and mutex_spin_on_owner.
These spin_on_onwer variant also cause rcu stall before we apply this patch set

Pan Xinhui (4):
  kernel/sched: introduce vcpu preempted check interface
  powerpc/spinlock: support vcpu preempted check
  locking/osq: Drop the overload of osq_lock()
  kernel/locking: Drop the overload of {mutex,rwsem}_spin_on_owner
