Raghavendra KT had done some performance testing on this patch with
the following results:
Overall we are seeing good improvement for pv-unfair version.
System: 32 cpu sandybridge with HT on (4 node with 32 GB each)
Guest : 8GB with 16 vcpu/VM.
Average was taken over 8-10 data points.
Base = 3.15-rc2 with PRAVIRT_SPINLOCK = y
A = 3.15-rc2 + qspinlock v9 patch with QUEUE_SPINLOCK = y
PRAVIRT_SPINLOCK = y PARAVIRT_UNFAIR_LOCKS = y (unfair lock)
B = 3.15-rc2 + qspinlock v9 patch with QUEUE_SPINLOCK = y
PRAVIRT_SPINLOCK = n PARAVIRT_UNFAIR_LOCKS = n
(queue spinlock without paravirt)
C = 3.15-rc2 + qspinlock v9 patch with QUEUE_SPINLOCK = y
PRAVIRT_SPINLOCK = y PARAVIRT_UNFAIR_LOCKS = n
(queue spinlock with paravirt)
Could you do s/PRAVIRT/PARAVIRT/ please?
Sorry for the typo, I didn't check the text carefully enough when I
cut-and-paste it from Raghavendra's email.

overcommit A B C
0.5x 4.4265 2.0611 1.5824
1.0x 0.9015 -7.7828 4.5443
1.5x 46.1162 -2.9845 -3.5046
2.0x 99.8150 -2.7116 4.7461
Considering B sucks
Yes, I don't expect the plain qspinlock code will perform well in a
guest without either unfair or pvspinlock support.
