Subject: [PATCH 1/2] powerpc: Add support for the optimised lockref implementation
Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2014 18:14:28 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1389770069-28733-1-git-send-email-mpe@ellerman.id.au> (raw)
This commit adds the architecture support required to enable the
optimised implementation of lockrefs.
That's as simple as defining arch_spin_value_unlocked() and selecting
the Kconfig option.
We also define cmpxchg64_relaxed(), because the lockref code does not
need the cmpxchg to have barrier semantics.
Using Linus' test case[1] on one system I see a 4x improvement for the
basic enablement, and a further 1.3x for cmpxchg64_relaxed(), for a
total of 5.3x vs the baseline.
On another system I see more like 2x improvement.
