From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@xxxxxxxxxx> Rather than outright replacing the entire spinlock implementation in order to paravirtualize it, keep the ticket lock implementation but add a couple of pvops hooks on the slow patch (long spin on lock, unlocking a contended lock). Ticket locks have a number of nice properties, but they also have some surprising behaviours in virtual environments. They enforce a strict FIFO ordering on cpus trying to take a lock; however, if the hypervisor scheduler does not schedule the cpus in the correct order, the system can waste a huge amount of time spinning until the next cpu can take the lock. (See Thomas Friebel's talk "Prevent Guests from Spinning Around" http://www.xen.org/files/xensummitboston08/LHP.pdf for more details.) To address this, we add two hooks: - __ticket_spin_lock which is called after the cpu has been spinning on the lock for a significant number of iterations but has failed to take the lock (presumably because the cpu holding the lock has been descheduled). The lock_spinning pvop is expected to block the cpu until it has been kicked by the current lock holder. - __ticket_spin_unlock, which on releasing a contended lock (there are more cpus with tail tickets), it looks to see if the next cpu is blocked and wakes it if so. When compiled with CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS disabled, a set of stub functions causes all the extra code to go away.
