Subject: [patch] powerpc: implement optimised mutex fastpaths
Date: Sun, 12 Oct 2008 07:47:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081012054732.GB12535@wotan.suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20081012054634.GA12535@wotan.suse.de>


Implement a more optimal mutex fastpath for powerpc, making use of acquire
and release barrier semantics. This takes the mutex lock+unlock benchmark
from 203 to 173 cycles on a G5.
