x86/locking/kconfig: Update paravirt spinlock Kconfig description Since the paravirt spinlock optimizations went into the v3.12 kernel we have a very good performance benefit for paravirtualized KVM / Xen kernels. Also we no longer suffer from 5% side effect on native kernel that is mentioned in the Kconfig entry. So update the Kconfig entry accordingly. pvspinlock benefit on KVM link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/6/178 Attilio's tests on native kernel impact: http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2012/05/11/benchmarking-the-new-pv-ticketlock-implementation/ Signed-off-by: Raghavendra K T <raghavendra.kt@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> Cc: <linux@eikelenboom.it> Cc: <gleb@redhat.com> Cc: <pbonzini@redhat.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1382371508-3843-1-git-send-email-raghavendra.kt@linux.vnet.ibm.com [ Updated the changelog. ] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
