change from v1:
a simplier definition of default vcpu_is_preempted
skip mahcine type check on ppc, and add config. remove dedicated macro.
add one patch to drop overload of rwsem_spin_on_owner and mutex_spin_on_owner.

thanks boqun and Peter's suggestion.
This patch set aims to fix lock holder preemption issues.
So I really like the concept, but I would also really like to see
support for more hypervisors included before we can move forward with
this.
Please consider s390 and (x86/arm) KVM. Once we have a few, more can
follow later, but I think its important to not only have PPC support for
this.
Actually the s390 preemted check via sigp sense running is available for
all hypervisors (z/VM, LPAR and KVM) which implies everywhere as you can no
longer buy s390 systems without LPAR.
As Heiko already pointed out we could simply use a small inline function
that calls cpu_is_preempted from arch/s390/lib/spinlock (or smp_vcpu_scheduled from smp.c)
Sure, and I had vague memories of Heiko's email. This patch set however
completely fails to do that trivial hooking up.
sorry for that.
I will try to work it out on x86.
Hi, Will
I appreciate that if you or some other arm guys could help on it. :)
