Get rid of INLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK entirely replacing it with UNINLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK instead of the reverse meaning. Whoever wants to change the default spinlock inlining behavior and uninline the spinlocks for some weird reason, such as spinlock debugging, paravirt etc. can now all just select UNINLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK Original discussion at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/21/357 Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Raghavendra K T <raghavendra.kt@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Cc: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com> Cc: Chris Zankel <chris@zankel.net> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120322095502.30866.75756.sendpatchset@codeblue [ tidied up the changelog a bit ] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

|
|
This is the traditional Linux preemption model, geared towards
|
|
throughput. It will still provide good latencies most of the
|
|
time, but there are no guarantees and occasional longer delays
|
|
are possible.
|
|
|
|
Select this option if you are building a kernel for a server or
|
|
scientific/computation system, or if you want to maximize the
|
|
raw processing power of the kernel, irrespective of scheduling
|
|
latencies.

bool "Voluntary Kernel Preemption (Desktop)"
|
|
help
|
|
This option reduces the latency of the kernel by adding more
|
|
"explicit preemption points" to the kernel code. These new
|
|
preemption points have been selected to reduce the maximum
|
|
latency of rescheduling, providing faster application reactions,
|
|
at the cost of slightly lower throughput.
|
|
|
|
This allows reaction to interactive events by allowing a
|
|
low priority process to voluntarily preempt itself even if it
|
|
is in kernel mode executing a system call. This allows
|
|
applications to run more 'smoothly' even when the system is
|
|
under load.
|
|
|
|
Select this if you are building a kernel for a desktop system.

help
|
|
This option reduces the latency of the kernel by making
|
|
all kernel code (that is not executing in a critical section)
|
|
preemptible. This allows reaction to interactive events by
|
|
permitting a low priority process to be preempted involuntarily
|
|
even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call and would
|
|
otherwise not be about to reach a natural preemption point.
|
|
This allows applications to run more 'smoothly' even when the
|
|
system is under load, at the cost of slightly lower throughput
|
|
and a slight runtime overhead to kernel code.
|
|
|
|
Select this if you are building a kernel for a desktop or
|
|
embedded system with latency requirements in the milliseconds
|
|
range.
