# 76681bd9 22-Sep-2023 Augustin Cavalier <waddlesplash@gmail.com>

kernel: Rewrite B_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_CONTENTION.

* Replace count_low/count_high with bigtime_t fields plus an int32.
sizeof(spinlock) is now 32 bytes with the debug option enabled.

* Adjust and clean up all spinlock code to use the new fields.

* Fold DEBUG_SPINLOCK_LATENCIES into the new code. Remove the bootloader
option and other flags for it (these were not compiled in by default.)

The new code should be much easier to understand and also more powerful.
However, the information transmitted to userland isn't as useful now;
the KDL command output will have the interesting information.

(Things could be reworked to transmit more interesting information to
userland again if desired, but as this code clearly hadn't been compiled
for many years, as it referred to global spinlocks that have been gone
for a very long time.)

# 1c8de858 01-Jun-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Added optional spinlock contention measurement feature. Enabled when
B_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_CONTENTION is defined to 1. It typedefs spinlock to a
structure (thus breaking BeOS binary compatibility), containing a
counter which is incremented whenever a thread has to wait for the
spinlock.
* Added macros for spinlock initialization and access and changed
code using spinlocks accordingly. This breaks compilation for BeOS --
the macros should be defined in the respective compatibility wrappers.
* Added generic syscall to get the spinlock counters for the thread and
the team spinlocks.
