From c14c338cb05c700a260480c197cfd6da8f8b7d2e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2013 14:23:23 -0700 Subject: kernel/spinlock.c: add default arch_*_relax definitions for GENERIC_LOCKBREAK When running with GENERIC_LOCKBREAK=y, the locking implementations emit calls to arch_{read,write,spin}_relax when spinning on a contended lock in order to allow architectures to favour the CPU owning the lock if possible. In reality, everybody apart from PowerPC and S390 just does cpu_relax() here, so make that the default behaviour and allow it to be overridden if required.
