v3 is updated to use __pv_queued_spin_unlock, noticed by Waiman (thank you). Thanks, Nick Nicholas Piggin (6): powerpc/powernv: must include hvcall.h to get PAPR defines powerpc/pseries: move some PAPR paravirt functions to their own file powerpc: move spinlock implementation to simple_spinlock powerpc/64s: implement queued spinlocks and rwlocks powerpc/pseries: implement paravirt

v2 is updated to account for feedback from Will, Peter, and Waiman (thank you), and trims off a couple of RFC and unrelated patches.

Updated with everybody's feedback (thanks all), and more performance results. What I've found is I might have been measuring the worst load point for the paravirt case, and by looking at a range of loads it's clear that queued spinlocks are overall better even on PV, doubly so when you look at the generally much improved worst case latencies. I have defaulted it to N even though

This series adds an option to use queued spinlocks for powerpc, and makes it the default for the Book3S-64 subarch. This effort starts with the generic code so it's very simple but still very performant. There are optimisations that can be made to slowpaths, but I think it's better to attack those incrementally if/when we find things, and try to add the improvements to generic code as
