[PATCH 3/4] paravirt: add virt_spin_lock pvops function

From: Juergen Gross
Date: Tue Sep 05 2017 - 09:25:06 EST


There are cases where a guest tries to switch spinlocks to bare metal
behavior (e.g. by setting "xen_nopvspin" boot parameter). Today this
has the downside of falling back to unfair test and set scheme for
qspinlocks due to virt_spin_lock() detecting the virtualized
environment.

Make virt_spin_lock() a paravirt operation in order to enable users
to select an explicit behavior like bare metal.
