locking: Convert raw_rwlock functions to arch_rwlock

locking: Convert raw_rwlock to arch_rwlock

Not strictly necessary for -rt as -rt does not have non sleeping rwlocks, but it's odd to not have a consistent naming convention. No functional change. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra Acked-by: David S. Miller Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Cc: linux-arch@vger.kernel.org

locking: Convert raw_spinlock to arch_spinlock

2009-12-14T22:55:32+00:00

The raw_spin* namespace was taken by lockdep for the architecture specific implementations. raw_spin_* would be the ideal name space for the spinlocks which are not converted to sleeping locks in preempt-rt. Linus suggested to convert the raw_ to arch_ locks and cleanup the name space instead of using an artifical name like core_spin, atomic_spin or whatever No functional change.

[IA64] Squeeze ticket locks back into 4 bytes.

2009-10-07T17:54:19+00:00

Linus pointed out that other people have spent large amounts of time and effort to optimize the layout of frequently used structures. Often these have embedded locks, and the assumption is that a lock takes 4 bytes. Linus also pointed out how to work with the limited options for atomic instructions on Itanium.

[IA64] implement ticket locks for Itanium

2009-09-25T15:42:16+00:00

Back in January 2008 Nick Piggin implemented "ticket" spinlocks for X86 (See commit 314cdbefd1fd0a7acf3780e9628465b77ea6a836). IA64 implementation has a couple of differences because of the available atomic operations ... e.g. we have no fetchadd2 instruction that operates on a 16-bit quantity so we make ticket locks use a 32-bit word for each of the current ticket and now-serving values. Performance on uncontended locks is about 8% worse than the previous implementation, but this seems a good trade for determinism in the contended case. Performance impact on macro-level benchmarks is in the noise. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck
