Another nice cleanup, and it looks like the optimistic spinning in the xadd
implementation is predicated on ARCH_SUPPORTS_ATOMIC_RMW, so we're all good
there too.

[PATCH v4 2/3] locking/rwsem: Remove rwsem-spinlock.c & use rwsem-xadd.c for all archs

2019-02-13 Thread Waiman Long
Currently, we have two different implementation of rwsem:
 1) CONFIG_RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK (rwsem-spinlock.c)
 2) CONFIG_RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM (rwsem-xadd.c)

As we are going to use a single generic implementation for rwsem-xadd.c
and no architecture-specific code will be needed, there is no point
in keeping two different implementations of rwsem. In most cases, the
performance of rwsem-spinlock.c will be worse. It also doesn't get all
the performance tuning and optimizations that had been implemented in
rwsem-xadd.c over the years.

For simplication, we are going to remove rwsem-spinlock.c and make all
architectures use a single implementation of rwsem - rwsem-xadd.c.

All references to RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK and RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM
in the code are removed.
