From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge at citrix.com> Hi all, This is a revised version of the pvticket lock series. The early part of the series is mostly unchanged: it converts the bulk of the ticket lock code into C and makes the "small" and "large" ticket code common. The only changes are the incorporation of various review comments. The latter part of

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge at citrix.com> Hi all, This series does two major things: 1. It converts the bulk of the implementation to C, and makes the "small ticket" and "large ticket" code common. Only the actual size-dependent asm instructions are specific to the ticket size. The resulting generated asm is very similar to the current
