Subject: [PATCH v8 0/6] Implement qspinlock/pv-qspinlock on ppc
Hi All,
this is the fairlock patchset. You can apply them and build successfully.
patches are based on linux-next
qspinlock can avoid waiter starved issue. It has about the same speed in
single-thread and it can be much faster in high contention situations
especially when the spinlock is embedded within the data structure to be
protected.
v7 -> v8:
add one patch to drop a function call under native qspinlock unlock.
Enabling qspinlock or not is a complier option now.
rebase onto linux-next(4.9-rc7)
v6 -> v7:
rebase onto 4.8-rc4
v1 -> v6:
too many details. snip.
some benchmark result below
perf bench
these numbers are ops per sec, So the higher the better.

unix bench:
these numbers are scores, So the higher the better.
************************************************
on PowerNV with 16 cores(cpus) (smt off), 32Gb memory:
-------------
pv-qspinlock and qspinlock have very similar results because pv-qspinlock use native version
which is only having one callback overhead
