[ Upstream commit 960550503965094b0babd7e8c83ec66c8a763b0b ]
The commit b2798ba0b8 ("KVM: X86: Choose qspinlock when dedicated
physical CPUs are available") states that when PV_DEDICATED=1
(vCPU has dedicated pCPU), qspinlock should be preferred regardless of
PV_UNHALT. However, the current implementation doesn't reflect this: when
PV_UNHALT=0, we still use virt_spin_lock() even with dedicated pCPUs.
This is suboptimal because:
1. Native qspinlocks should outperform virt_spin_lock() for dedicated
vCPUs irrespective of HALT exiting
2. virt_spin_lock() should only be preferred when vCPUs may be preempted
(non-dedicated case)
So reorder the PV spinlock checks to:
1. First handle dedicated pCPU case (disable virt_spin_lock_key)
2. Second check single CPU, and nopvspin configuration
3. Only then check PV_UNHALT support
This ensures we always use native qspinlock for dedicated vCPUs, delivering
pretty performance gains at high contention levels.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
