    locking: Allow arch-inlined spinlocks · 892a7c67
    Heiko Carstens authored
    
    
    This allows an architecture to specify per lock variant if the
    locking code should be kept out-of-line or inlined.
    
    If an architecure wants out-of-line locking code no change is
    needed. To force inlining of e.g. spin_lock() the line:
    
      #define __always_inline__spin_lock
    
    needs to be added to arch/<...>/include/asm/spinlock.h
    
    If CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK or CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK are
    defined the per architecture defines are (partly) ignored and
    still out-of-line spinlock code will be generated.
