From: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2015 18:56:38 +0000 (-0400) Subject: locking/pvqspinlock, x86: Implement the paravirt qspinlock call patching X-Git-Tag: omap-for-v4.2/fixes-rc1^2~182^2~13 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f233f7f1581e78fd9b4023f2e7d8c1ed89020cc9;p=pandora-kernel.git locking/pvqspinlock, x86: Implement the paravirt qspinlock call patching We use the regular paravirt call patching to switch between: native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath() __pv_queued_spin_lock_slowpath() native_queued_spin_unlock() __pv_queued_spin_unlock() We use a callee saved call for the unlock function which reduces the i-cache footprint and allows 'inlining' of SPIN_UNLOCK functions again. We further optimize the unlock path by patching the direct call with a "movb $0,%arg1" if we are indeed using the native unlock code. This makes the unlock code almost as fast as the !PARAVIRT case. This significantly lowers the overhead of having CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS enabled, even for native code.
