rt-introduce-cpu-chill.patch

Subject: rt: Introduce cpu_chill()
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Date: Wed, 07 Mar 2012 20:51:03 +0100

Retry loops on RT might loop forever when the modifying side was
preempted. Add cpu_chill() to replace cpu_relax(). cpu_chill()
defaults to cpu_relax() for non RT. On RT it puts the looping task to
sleep for a tick so the preempted task can make progress.
