locking/mutex: Break out of expensive busy-loop on {mutex,rwsem}_spin_on_owner() when owner vCPU is preempted
An over-committed guest with more vCPUs than pCPUs has a heavy overload
in the two spin_on_owner. This blames on the lock holder preemption
issue.
Break out of the loop if the vCPU is preempted: if vcpu_is_preempted(cpu)
is true.
test-case:
perf record -a perf bench sched messaging -g 400 -p && perf report
before patch:
20.68% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] mutex_spin_on_owner
8.45% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] mutex_unlock
4.12% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] system_call
3.01% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] system_call_common
2.83% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] copypage_power7
2.64% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] rwsem_spin_on_owner
2.00% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] osq_lock
after patch:
9.99% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] mutex_unlock
5.28% sched-messaging [unknown] [H] 0xc0000000000768e0
4.27% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __copy_tofrom_user_power7
3.77% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] copypage_power7
3.24% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] _raw_write_lock_irq
3.02% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] system_call
2.69% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] wait_consider_task
