[PATCH v13 00/11] qspinlock: a 4-byte queue spinlock with PV support
v12->v13: - Change patch 9 to generate separate versions of the queue_spin_lock_slowpath functions for bare metal and PV guest. This reduces the performance impact of the PV code on bare metal systems. v11->v12: - Based on PeterZ's version of the qspinlock patch (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/15/63). - Incorporated many of the review comments from Konrad Wilk and Paolo

[PATCH 00/11] qspinlock with paravirt support
Since Waiman seems incapable of doing simple things; here's my take on the paravirt crap. The first few patches are taken from Waiman's latest series, but the virt support is completely new. Its primary aim is to not mess up the native code. I've not stress tested it, but the virt and paravirt (kvm) cases boot on simple smp guests. I've not done Xen, but the patch should be

[PATCH v16 00/14] qspinlock: a 4-byte queue spinlock with PV support
v15->v16: - Remove the lfsr patch and use linear probing as lfsr is not really necessary in most cases. - Move the paravirt PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK code to an asm header. - Add a patch to collect PV qspinlock statistics which also supersedes the PV lock hash debug patch. - Add PV qspinlock performance numbers. v14->v15: - Incorporate PeterZ's v15 qspinlock patch and improve
