[PATCH v3 0/6] powerpc use pv-qpsinlock as the default spinlock implemention

[Pan Xinhui]

change from v2:
	__spin_yeild_cpu() will yield slices to lpar if target cpu is running.
	remove unnecessary rmb() in __spin_yield/wake_cpu.
	__pv_wait() will check the *ptr == val.
	some commit message change

change fome v1:
	separate into 6 pathes from one patch
	some minor code changes.

I do several tests on pseries IBM,8408-E8E with 32cpus, 64GB memory.
benchmark test results are below.

2 perf tests:
perf bench futex hash
perf bench futex lock-pi

_____test________________spinlcok______________pv-qspinlcok_____
|futex hash	|	556370 ops	|	629634 ops	|
|futex lock-pi	|	362 ops		|	367 ops		|

scheduler test:
Test how many loops of schedule() can finish within 10 seconds on all cpus.

_____test________________spinlcok______________pv-qspinlcok_____
|schedule() loops|	322811921 	|	311449290	|

kernel compiling test:
build a linux kernel image to see how long it took

_____test________________spinlcok______________pv-qspinlcok_____
| compiling takes|	22m 		|	22m		|

Pan Xinhui (6):
  qspinlock: powerpc support qspinlock
  powerpc: pseries/Kconfig: Add qspinlock build config
  powerpc: lib/locks.c: Add cpu yield/wake helper function
  pv-qspinlock: powerpc support pv-qspinlock
  pv-qspinlock: use cmpxchg_release in __pv_queued_spin_unlock
  powerpc: pseries: Add pv-qspinlock build config/make
