[PATCH v4 0/4] riscv: Add qspinlock/qrwlock

[guoren at kernel.org]

From: Guo Ren <guoren at linux.alibaba.com>

Current riscv is still using baby spinlock implementation. It'll cause
fairness and cache line bouncing problems. Many people are involved
and pay the efforts to improve it:

 - The first version of patch was made in 2019.1:
   https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20190211043829.30096-1-michaeljclark@mac.com/#r

 - The second version was made in 2020.11:
   https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/1606225437-22948-2-git-send-email-guoren@kernel.org/

 - A good discussion at Platform HSC.2021-03-08:

Hope your comments and Tested-by or Co-developed-by or Reviewed-by ...

Let's kick the qspinlock into riscv right now (Also for the
architecture which hasn't xchg16 atomic instruction.)

Change V4:
 - Remove custom sub-word xchg implementation
 - Add ARCH_USE_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS_XCHG32 in locking/qspinlock 

Change V3:
 - Coding convention by Peter Zijlstra's advices 

Change V2:
 - Coding convention in cmpxchg.h
 - Re-implement short xchg
 - Remove char & cmpxchg implementations

Guo Ren (3):
  riscv: cmpxchg.h: Cleanup unused code
  riscv: cmpxchg.h: Merge macros
  riscv: cmpxchg.h: Implement xchg for short
