[PATCH v5 0/7] riscv: Add qspinlock/qrwlock

[guoren]

From: Guo Ren <guoren@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Current riscv is still using baby spinlock implementation. It'll cause
fairness and cache line bouncing problems. Many people are involved
and pay the efforts to improve it:

 - The first version of patch was made in 2019.1:
   https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20190211043829.30096-1-michaeljclark@xxxxxxx/#r

 - The second version was made in 2020.11:
   https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/1606225437-22948-2-git-send-email-guoren@xxxxxxxxxx/

 - A good discussion at Platform HSC.2021-03-08:
   https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ooqdnIsYx7XKor5O1XTtM6D1CHp4hc0p

Hope your comments and Tested-by or Co-developed-by or Reviewed-by ...

Let's kick the qspinlock into riscv right now (Also for the
architecture which hasn't xchg16 atomic instruction.)

Change V5:
 - Fixup #endif comment typo by Waiman
 - Remove cmpxchg coding convention patches which will get into a
   separate patchset later by Arnd's advice
 - Try to involve more architectures in the discussion

Change V4:
 - Remove custom sub-word xchg implementation
 - Add ARCH_USE_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS_XCHG32 in locking/qspinlock

Change V3:
 - Coding convention by Peter Zijlstra's advices

Change V2:
 - Coding convention in cmpxchg.h
 - Re-implement short xchg
 - Remove char & cmpxchg implementations

  powerpc/qspinlock: Add ARCH_USE_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS_XCHG32
  openrisc: qspinlock: Add ARCH_USE_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS_XCHG32
  sparc: qspinlock: Add ARCH_USE_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS_XCHG32
  xtensa: qspinlock: Add ARCH_USE_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS_XCHG32
