Add the compare-and-delay instruction to the spin-lock and rw-lock retry loops. A CPU executing the compare-and-delay instruction stops until the lock value has changed. This is done to make the locking code for contended locks to behave better in regard to the multi- hreading facility. A thread of a core executing a compare-and-delay will allow the other threads of a core to get a larger share of the core resources. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> |
