[PATCH 2/9] locking/pvqspinlock: Introduce CONFIG_PARAVIRT_QSPINLOCKS_LITE
From: Waiman Long
Date: Tue Jul 07 2020 - 22:29:16 EST
Add a new PARAVIRT_QSPINLOCKS_LITE config option that allows
architectures to use the PV qspinlock code without the need to use or
implement a pv_kick() function, thus eliminating the atomic unlock
overhead. The non-atomic queued_spin_unlock() can be used instead.
The pv_wait() function will still be needed, but it can be a dummy
function.
With that option set, the hybrid PV queued/unfair locking code should
still be able to make it performant enough in a paravirtualized
environment.
