[PATCH -v4 1/7] locking: Replace smp_cond_acquire with smp_cond_load_acquire

[Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: peterz-locking-smp_cond_load_acquire.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 5988 bytes --]

This new form allows using hardware assisted waiting.

Some hardware (ARM64 and x86) allow monitoring an address for changes,
so by providing a pointer we can use this to replace the cpu_relax().
