From 4badad352a6bb202ec68afa7a574c0bb961e5ebc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2014 19:53:16 +0200 Subject: locking/mutex: Disable optimistic spinning on some architectures The optimistic spin code assumes regular stores and cmpxchg() play nice; this is found to not be true for at least: parisc, sparc32, tile32, metag-lock1, arc-!llsc and hexagon. There is further wreckage, but this in particular seemed easy to trigger, so blacklist this. Opt in for known good archs.
