[PATCH RFC V8 2/17] x86/ticketlock: Don't inline _spin_unlock when using paravirt spinlocks

From: Raghavendra K T
Date: Wed May 02 2012 - 06:07:07 EST


From: Raghavendra K T <raghavendra.kt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The code size expands somewhat, and its better to just call
a function rather than inline it.

Thanks Jeremy for original version of ARCH_NOINLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK config patch,
which is simplified.

Paravirtualized spinlocks allow a pvops backend to replace the
spinlock implementation with something virtualization-friendly
