v6->v7: - Remove an atomic operation from the 2-task contending code - Shorten the names of some macros - Make the queue waiter to attempt to steal lock when unfair lock is enabled. - Remove lock holder kick from the PV code and fix a race condition - Run the unfair lock & PV code on overcommitted KVM guests to collect performance data. v5->v6: - Change the optimized

v7->v8: - Remove one unneeded atomic operation from the slowpath, thus improving performance. - Simplify some of the codes and add more comments. - Test for X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR CPU feature bit to enable/disable unfair lock. - Reduce unfair lock slowpath lock stealing frequency depending on its distance from the queue head. - Add performance data for IvyBridge-EX CPU.

This reminds me of Kenneth's "context" proposal from some time back: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2010-April/030787.html I haven't compared the two too closely, but I thought I should throw it out there as food for thought.
