2010-02-27MIPS: Optimize spinlocks.David Daney1-75/+43
The current locking mechanism uses a ll/sc sequence to release a spinlock. This is slower than a wmb() followed by a store to unlock. The branching forward to .subsection 2 on sc failure slows down the contended case. So we get rid of that part too. Since we are now working on naturally aligned u16 values, we can get rid of a masking operation as the LHU already does the right thing. The ANDI are reversed for better scheduling on multi-issue CPUs On a 12 CPU 750MHz Octeon cn5750 this patch improves ipv4 UDP packet forwarding rates from 3.58*10^6 PPS to 3.99*10^6 PPS, or about 11%.

2010-02-27MIPS: New macro smp_mb__before_llsc.David Daney1-2/+2
Replace some instances of smp_llsc_mb() with a new macro smp_mb__before_llsc(). It is used before ll/sc sequences that are documented as needing write barrier semantics. The default implementation of smp_mb__before_llsc() is just smp_llsc_mb(), so there are no changes in semantics. Also simplify definition of smp_mb(), smp_rmb(), and smp_wmb() to be just barrier() in the non-SMP case.

2009-12-14locking: Convert raw_rwlock to arch_rwlockThomas Gleixner1-6/+6
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.

2009-12-14locking: Convert raw_spinlock to arch_spinlockThomas Gleixner1-5/+5
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.

2009-04-02Allow rwlocks to re-enable interruptsRobin Holt1-0/+2
Pass the original flags to rwlock arch-code, so that it can re-enable interrupts if implemented for that architecture. Initially, make __raw_read_lock_flags and __raw_write_lock_flags stubs which just do the same thing as non-flags variants.

2009-03-30MIPS: __raw_spin_lock() may spin forever on ticket wrap.David Daney1-4/+4
If the lock is not acquired and has to spin *and* the second attempt to acquire the lock fails, the delay time is not masked by the ticket range mask. If the ticket number wraps around to zero, the result is that the lock sampling delay is essentially infinite (due to casting -1 to an unsigned int). The fix: Always mask the difference between my_ticket and the current ticket value before calculating the delay.

2009-02-09x86: spinlocks: define dummy __raw_spin_is_contendedKyle McMartin1-0/+1
Architectures other than mips and x86 are not using ticket spinlocks. Therefore, the contention on the lock is meaningless, since there is nobody known to be waiting on it (arguably /fairly/ unfair locks). Dummy it out to return 0 on other architectures.
