Please stop this madness of spinlocks in userspace. They are inefficient and conceptually incorrect for the absolute majority of applications. If you are.. * not writing a kernel; * not running your tasks with SCHED_FIFO and not running individual tasks pinned to individual cores; .. then you should not even think about spinlocks. They will waste resources and perform very poorly.
