MIPS: Crazy spinlock speed test.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This is just a test program for raw_spinlocks.  The main reason I
wrote it is to validate my spinlock changes that I sent in a previous
patch.

To use it enable CONFIG_DEBUG_FS and CONFIG_SPINLOCK_TEST then at run
time do:

# mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug/
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/mips/spin_single
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/mips/spin_multi

On my 600MHz octeon cn5860 (16 CPUs) I get

		spin_single	spin_multi
base		106885		247941
spinlock_patch	75194		219465

This shows that for uncontended locks the spinlock patch gives 41%
improvement and for contended locks 12% improvement (1/time).
