2014-06-06locking/rwlocks: Introduce 'qrwlocks' - fair, queued rwlocksWaiman Long
This rwlock uses the arch_spin_lock_t as a waitqueue, and assuming the arch_spin_lock_t is a fair lock (ticket,mcs etc..) the resulting rwlock is a fair lock. It fits in the same 8 bytes as the regular rwlock_t by folding the reader and writer count into a single integer, using the remaining 4 bytes for the arch_spinlock_t. Architectures that can single-copy adress bytes can optimize queue_write_unlock() with a 0 write to the LSB (the write count). Performance as measured by Davidlohr Bueso (rwlock_t -> qrwlock_t): +--------------+-------------+---------------+ | Workload | #users | delta | +--------------+-------------+---------------+ | alltests | > 1400 | -4.83% | | custom | 0-100,> 100 | +1.43%,-1.57% | | high_systime | > 1000 | -2.61 | | shared | all | +0.32 | +--------------+-------------+---------------+ http://www.stgolabs.net/qrwlock-stuff/aim7-results-vs-rwsem_optsin/ Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@hp.com> [peterz: near complete rewrite] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: "Paul E.McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: linux-arch@vger.kernel.org Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-gac1nnl3wvs2ij87zv2xkdzq@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
2013-05-28locking: Fix copy/paste errors of "ARCH_INLINE_*_UNLOCK_BH"Paul Bolle
The Kconfig symbols ARCH_INLINE_READ_UNLOCK_IRQ, ARCH_INLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK_IRQ, and ARCH_INLINE_WRITE_UNLOCK_IRQ were added in v2.6.33, but have never actually been used. Ingo Molnar spotted that this is caused by three identical copy/paste erros. Eg, the Kconfig entry for INLINE_READ_UNLOCK_IRQ has an (optional) dependency on: ARCH_INLINE_READ_UNLOCK_BH were it apparently should depend on: ARCH_INLINE_READ_UNLOCK_IRQ instead. Likewise for the Kconfig entries for INLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK_IRQ and INLINE_WRITE_UNLOCK_IRQ. Fix these three errors. This never really caused any real problems as these symbols are set (or unset) in a group - but it's worth fixing it nevertheless.

2012-09-13locking: Adjust spin lock inlining Kconfig optionsJan Beulich
Break out the DEBUG_SPINLOCK dependency (requires moving up UNINLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK, as this was the only one in that block not depending on that option). Avoid putting values not selected into the resulting .config - they are not useful for anything, make the output less legible, and just consume space: Use "depends on" rather than directly setting the default from the combined dependency values.

2012-03-23locking/kconfig: Simplify INLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK usageRaghavendra K T
Get rid of INLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK entirely replacing it with UNINLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK instead of the reverse meaning. Whoever wants to change the default spinlock inlining behavior and uninline the spinlocks for some weird reason, such as spinlock debugging, paravirt etc. can now all just select UNINLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK Original discussion at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/21/357 Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Raghavendra K T <raghavendra.kt@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Cc: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com> Cc: Chris Zankel <chris@zankel.net> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120322095502.30866.75756.sendpatchset@codeblue [ tidied up the changelog a bit ] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

2009-11-13locking: Make inlining decision Kconfig basedThomas Gleixner
commit 892a7c67 (locking: Allow arch-inlined spinlocks) implements the selection of which lock functions are inlined based on defines in arch/.../spinlock.h: #define __always_inline__LOCK_FUNCTION Despite of the name __always_inline__* the lock functions can be built out of line depending on config options. Also if the arch does not set some inline defines the generic code might set them; again depending on config options. This makes it unnecessary hard to figure out when and which lock functions are inlined. Aside of that it makes it way harder and messier for -rt to manipulate the lock functions. Convert the inlining decision to CONFIG switches. Each lock function is inlined depending on CONFIG_INLINE_*. The configs implement the existing dependencies. The architecture code can select ARCH_INLINE_* to signal that it wants the corresponding lock function inlined. ARCH_INLINE_* is necessary as Kconfig ignores "depends on" restrictions when a config element is selected. No functional change.
