    [PATCH] spinlock consolidation · fb1c8f93
    Ingo Molnar authored
    This patch (written by me and also containing many suggestions of Arjan van
    de Ven) does a major cleanup of the spinlock code.  It does the following
    things:
    
     - consolidates and enhances the spinlock/rwlock debugging code
    
     - simplifies the asm/spinlock.h files
    
     - encapsulates the raw spinlock type and moves generic spinlock
       features (such as ->break_lock) into the generic code.
    
     - cleans up the spinlock code hierarchy to get rid of the spaghetti.
    
    Most notably there's now only a single variant of the debugging code,
    located in lib/spinlock_debug.c.  (previously we had one SMP debugging
    variant per architecture, plus a separate generic one for UP builds)
    
    Also, i've enhanced the rwlock debugging facility, it will now track
    write-owners.  There is new spinlock-owner/CPU-tracking on SMP builds too.
    All locks have lockup detection now, which will work for both soft and hard
    spin/rwlock lockups.
    
    The arch-level include files now only contain the minimally necessary
    subset ...
