Date: Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:21:26 -0000 From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de> To: LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: [patch 0/2] Refactor spinlock inlining While moving preempt-rt to 2.6.32-rc I tripped over the spinlock inlining changes and had a hard time to figure out when and which lock function is inlined as the __always_inline__ defines are not directly controlling the inlining because there are overrides depending on various config options. Merging the -rt modifications into this results in a horrible mess and I tried to find a solution which simplifies the inlining decisions and makes it more obvious when the decision is taken. To allow easier intergration of preempt-rt I reworked the inline decision ifdeffery to be completely Kconfig based. The result is slightly smaller in code lines, but adds a Kconfig file which contains all the rules of inlining decisions. Architecturs can select each locking function for inlining in the arch Kconfig instead of defining __always_inline__*.
