    locking/mutex: Disable optimistic spinning on some architectures · 4badad35
    Peter Zijlstra 提交于
    The optimistic spin code assumes regular stores and cmpxchg() play nice;
    this is found to not be true for at least: parisc, sparc32, tile32,
    metag-lock1, arc-!llsc and hexagon.
    
    There is further wreckage, but this in particular seemed easy to
    trigger, so blacklist this.
    
    Opt in for known good archs.
