Subject[PATCH 0/6] ARC: spinlocks/atomics rework
Date
Hi Peter,

Just running this by you for quick eye balling and also as FYI.
The PREFETCHW workaround for llock/scond livelock was not sufficient after
all and we had to do some work there. Extending testing of quad core FPGA
builds shows things pretty stable, whereas w/o patches some of the LTP tests
(shm_open/23-1) would cause the system to go bonkers.

I need to send this to Linus 4.2-rcx so will appreicate if you could take
a quick peek.

Thx,
-Vineet
