This series of patches enables queued rwlock and queued spinlock support
for SPARC. These features were introduced some time ago in upstream.
Here are some of the earlier discussions.

Tests: Ran AIM7 benchmark to verify the performance on various workloads.
https://github.com/davidlohr/areaim. Same benchmark was used when this
feature was introduced and enabled on x86. Here are the test results.

Disk I/O results are little bit in negative territory. But majority of the 
performance changes are in positive and it is significant in some cases.

Changes:
v3 -> v4:
 1. Took care of Geert Uytterhoeven's comment about patch #3(def_bool y)
 2. Working on separate patch sets to define CPU_BIG_ENDIAN for all the 
    default big endian architectures based on feedback from Geert and Arnd.

v2 -> v3:
 1. Rebased the patches on top of 4.12-rc2.
 2. Re-ordered the patch #1 and patch #2. That is the same order I have seen 
    the issues. So, it should be addressed in the same order. Patch #1 removes
    the check __LINUX_SPINLOCK_TYPES_H. Patch #2 addreses the compile error
    with qrwlock.c. This addresses the comments from Dave Miller on v2.

v1 -> v2:
Addressed the comments from David Miller.
1. Added CPU_BIG_ENDIAN for all SPARC
2. Removed #ifndef __LINUX_SPINLOCK_TYPES_H guard from spinlock_types.h
3. Removed check for CONFIG_QUEUED_RWLOCKS in SPARC64 as it is the 
   default definition for SPARC64 now. Cleaned-up the previous arch_read_xxx
   and arch_write_xxx definitions as it is defined now in qrwlock.h.
4. Removed check for CONFIG_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS in SPARC64 as it is the default
   definition now for SPARC64 now. Cleaned-up the previous arch_spin_xxx
   definitions as it is defined in qspinlock.h. 

v1: Initial version

Babu Moger (7):
  arch/sparc: Remove the check #ifndef __LINUX_SPINLOCK_TYPES_H
  kernel/locking: Fix compile error with qrwlock.c
  arch/sparc: Define config parameter CPU_BIG_ENDIAN
  arch/sparc: Introduce cmpxchg_u8 SPARC
  arch/sparc: Enable queued rwlocks for SPARC
  arch/sparc: Introduce xchg16 for SPARC
  arch/sparc: Enable queued spinlock support for SPARC
