[PATCH v2 2/2] powerpc/64s: Make POWER10 and later use pause_short in cpu_relax loops

[Nicholas Piggin]

We want to move away from using SMT prioroty updates for cpu_relax, and
use a 'wait' instruction which is similar to x86. As well as being a
much better fit for what everybody else uses and tests with, priority
nops are stateful which is nasty (interrupts have to consider they might
be taken at a different priority), and they're expensive to execute,
similar to a mtSPR which can effect other threads in the pipe.

Unfortunately qemu TCG does not emulate pause_short properly and will
cause hangs. I have a patch for it but not merged yet. But if we tune
qspinlock code it would be best to do it with this patch.

Thanks,
Nick
