    locking/rwsem: Remove rwsem-spinlock.c & use rwsem-xadd.c for all archs · 390a0c62
    Waiman Long authored
    
    
    Currently, we have two different implementation of rwsem:
    
     1) CONFIG_RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK (rwsem-spinlock.c)
     2) CONFIG_RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM (rwsem-xadd.c)
    
    As we are going to use a single generic implementation for rwsem-xadd.c
    and no architecture-specific code will be needed, there is no point
    in keeping two different implementations of rwsem. In most cases, the
    performance of rwsem-spinlock.c will be worse. It also doesn't get all
    the performance tuning and optimizations that had been implemented in
    rwsem-xadd.c over the years.
    
    For simplication, we are going to remove rwsem-spinlock.c and make all
    architectures use a single implementation of rwsem - rwsem-xadd.c.
    
    All references to RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK and RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM
    in the code are removed.
