* powerpc: Add support for the optimised lockref implementationMichael Ellerman2014-01-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds the architecture support required to enable the optimised implementation of lockrefs. That's as simple as defining arch_spin_value_unlocked() and selecting the Kconfig option. We also define cmpxchg64_relaxed(), because the lockref code does not need the cmpxchg to have barrier semantics. Using Linus' test case[1] on one system I see a 4x improvement for the basic enablement, and a further 1.3x for cmpxchg64_relaxed(), for a total of 5.3x vs the baseline. On another system I see more like 2x improvement.
