FWIW I use the paravirt spinlock ops for adding lock elision to the spinlocks.
This needs to be done at the top level (so the level you're removing) However I don't like the pv mechanism very much and would be fine with using an static key hook in the main path like I do for all the other lock types. It also uses interrupt ops patching, for that it would be still needed though. -Andi -- a...@linux.intel.com -- Speaking for myself only. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
