Subject: [PATCH 1/2] lock test: Fix performance problem on multi-core
machines.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
* tests/test-lock.c (USE_VOLATILE): New macro.
(struct atomic_int): New type.
(init_atomic_int, get_atomic_int_value, set_atomic_int_value): New
functions.
(lock_checker_done, rwlock_checker_done, reclock_checker_done): Define
as 'struct atomic_int'.
(lock_checker_thread, test_lock, rwlock_checker_thread, test_rwlock,
reclock_checker_thread, test_recursive_lock): Use the new functions.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] test-lock: disable the rwlock test
It hangs indefinitely if the system rwlock implementation does not
prevent writer starvation (and glibc does not implement it).
Bug: http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-gnulib@gnu.org/msg33017.html
