Paul Gortmaker	73bc256d47	mips: migrate core kernel file from module.h --> export.h ... These files are not modules, but were including module.h only for EXPORT_SYMBOL and/or THIS_MODULE. Now that we have the lightweight export.h, use it in these kinds of cases. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>	2011-10-31 19:30:56 -04:00
David Daney	bba9076058	MIPS: Crazy spinlock speed test. ... 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).
