Subject: [RFC] arm64: Implement WFE based spin wait for MCS spinlocks
Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2016 00:13:38 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1460618018.2871.25.camel@j-VirtualBox> (raw)

Use WFE to avoid most spinning with MCS spinlocks. This is implemented
with the new cmpwait() mechanism for comparing and waiting for the MCS
locked value to change using LDXR + WFE.
