Have the trace_contention_*() tracepoints consistently include adaptive spinning. In order to differentiate between the spinning and non-spinning states add LCB_F_MUTEX and combine with LCB_F_SPIN. The consequence is that a mutex contention can now triggler multiple _begin() tracepoints before triggering an _end(). Additionally, this fixes one path where mutex would trigger _end() without ever seeing a _begin(). Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
