[PATCH v6 0/9] 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:

 - The second version was made in 2020.11:

 - A good discussion at Platform HSC.2021-03-08:

 - A good discussion on V4 in mailling list:

 - Openrisc's maintainer want to implement arch_cmpxchg infrastructure.

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 V6:
 - Add  ticket-lock for riscv, default is qspinlock
 - Keep ticket-lock for csky,  default is ticketlock
 - Using smp_cond_load for riscv ticket-lock
 - Optimize csky ticketlock with smp_cond_load, store_release
 - Add PPC_LBARX_LWARX for powerpc 

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

Guo Ren (8):
  locking/qspinlock: Add ARCH_USE_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS_XCHG32
  riscv: locks: Introduce ticket-based spinlock implementation
  csky: locks: Optimize coding convention
  csky: Convert custom spinlock/rwlock to generic qspinlock/qrwlock
  openrisc: qspinlock: Add ARCH_USE_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS_XCHG32
  sparc: qspinlock: Add ARCH_USE_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS_XCHG32
  xtensa: qspinlock: Add ARCH_USE_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS_XCHG32
  powerpc/qspinlock: Add ARCH_USE_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS_XCHG32
