Remove reader optimistic spinning has a great regression on application
I won't consider this a great regression if it is just a few % point of
performance differences.
BTW, this patch is mostly a revert of commit 617f3ef95177
("locking/rwsem: Remove reader optimistic spinning"). So it should be
mentioned here.
startup performance in android device. In mobile environment, reader
optimistic spinning is still useful because there're not many readers.
So re-enable reader optimistic spinning and disabled by default. And,
can turn on by cmdline.
Test result:
This is 15 application startup performance in our s5e8535 soc.
- Cortex A78*2 + Cortex A55*6
