locking/pvstat: Separate wait_again and spurious wakeup stats
Currently there are overlap in the pvqspinlock wait_again and spurious_wakeup stat counters. Because of lock stealing, it is no longer possible to accurately determine if spurious wakeup has happened in the queue head. As they track both the queue node and queue head status, it is also hard to tell how many of those comes from the queue head and how many from the queue node. This patch changes the accounting rules so that spurious wakeup is only tracked in the queue node. The wait_again count, however, is only tracked in the queue head when the vCPU failed to acquire the lock after a vCPU kick. This should give a much better indication of the wait-kick dynamics in the queue node and the queue head. Signed-off-by:Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@hpe.com> Signed-off-by:
