[PATCH V12 13/14] RISC-V: paravirt: pvqspinlock: Add kconfig entry

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Guo Ren <guoren@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add kconfig entry for paravirt_spinlock, an unfair qspinlock
virtualization-friendly backend, by halting the virtual CPU rather
than spinning.
