9 * spin_begin is used before beginning a busy-wait loop, and must be paired
10 * with spin_end when the loop is exited. spin_cpu_relax must be called
13 * The loop body should be as small and fast as possible, on the order of
14 * tens of instructions/cycles as a guide. It should and avoid calling
15 * cpu_relax, or any "spin" or sleep type of primitive including nested uses
16 * of these primitives. It should not lock or take any other resource.
17 * Violations of these guidelies will not cause a bug, but may cause sub
18 * optimal performance.
20 * These loops are optimized to be used where wait times are expected to be
21 * less than the cost of a context switch (and associated overhead).
23 * Detection of resource owner and decision to spin or sleep or guest-yield
24 * (e.g., spin lock holder vcpu preempted, or mutex owner not on CPU) can be
25 * tested within the loop body.

40 * spin_until_cond can be used to wait for a condition to become true. It
41 * may be expected that the first iteration will true in the common case
42 * (no spinning), so that callers should not require a first "likely" test
43 * for the uncontended case before using this primitive.
45 * Usage and implementation guidelines are the same as for the spin_begin
