Currently, the qspinlock_stat code tracks only statistical counts in the PV qspinlock code. However, it may also be useful to track the number of locking operations done via the pending code vs. the MCS lock queue slowpath for the non-PV case. The qspinlock stat code is modified to do that. The stat counter pv_lock_slowpath is renamed to lock_slowpath so that it can be used by both the PV and non-PV cases.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
