The generic PCI configuration space accessors are globally serialized via pci_lock. On larger systems this causes massive lock contention when the configuration space has to be accessed frequently. One such access pattern is the Intel Uncore performance counter unit. Provide a kernel config option which can be selected by an architecture when the low level PCI configuration space accessors in the architecture use their own serialization or can operate completely lockless.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
