This patch enables the accumulation of kicking and waiting related
PV qspinlock statistics when the new QUEUED_LOCK_STAT configuration
option is selected. It also enables the collection of kicking and
wakeup latencies which have a heavy dependency on the CPUs being used.
The measured latencies for different CPUs are:
CPU Wakeup Kicking
--- ------ -------
Haswell-EX 89.8us 7.4us
Westmere-EX 67.6us 9.3us
The measured latencies varied a bit from run-to-run. The wakeup
latency is much higher than the kicking latency.
A sample of statistics counts after a kernel build (no CPU overcommit)
was:
hash_hops_count=576912
kick_latencies=5258025484
kick_unlock_count=576911
kick_wait_count=576903
pending_fail_count=10722
pending_lock_count=6123545
spurious_wakeup=92
wait_again_count=75
wait_head_count=60
wait_node_count=576936
wake_latencies=37061460652
