similar to: [PATCH v7 00/11] qspinlock: a 4-byte queue spinlock with PV support

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 patch introduces a new generic queue spinlock implementation that can serve as an alternative to the default ticket spinlock. Compared with the ticket spinlock, this queue spinlock should be almost as fair as the ticket spinlock. It has about the same speed in single-thread and it can be much faster in high contention situations especially when the spinlock is embedded within the data

Hi, Here are some numbers for my version -- also attached is the test code. I found that booting big machines is tediously slow so I lifted the whole lot to userspace. I measure the cycles spend in arch_spin_lock() + arch_spin_unlock(). The machines used are a 4 node (2 socket) AMD Interlagos, and a 2 node (2 socket) Intel Westmere-EP. AMD (ticket) AMD (qspinlock + pending + opt) Local:

You don't happen to have a proper state diagram for this thing do you? I suppose I'm going to have to make one; this is all getting a bit unwieldy, and those xchg() + fixup things are hard to read.
