Subject: [PATCH][PPC64] Kconfig bits for CONFIG_SPINLINE
Date: Thu, 13 May 2004 21:33:12 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <16547.23800.280519.689864@cargo.ozlabs.ibm.com> (raw)
When I sent the patch to uninline the spinlocks, I inadvertently left
out the change to arch/ppc64/Kconfig which defines the config symbol
for inlining the locks (CONFIG_SPINLINE now). This patch adds it. It
also adds a symbol CONFIG_PPC_SPLPAR which enables the code for
calling the hypervisor on shared-processor logically-partitioned
system to yield the physical processor to the lock holder when
spinning. (The code that depends on this symbol is already present in
arch/ppc64/lib/locks.c.)
Please apply.
Thanks,
Paul.
