From e9b9eb59ffcdee09ec96b040f85c919618f4043e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Sat, 27 Oct 2012 23:00:41 -0700 Subject: sparc64: Use pause instruction when available. In atomic backoff and cpu_relax(), use the pause instruction found on SPARC-T4 and later. It makes the cpu strand unselectable for the given number of cycles, unless an intervening disrupting trap occurs. Signed-off-by: David S.
