SMP-Style Kernel Locking

[Ming Chow]

I am currently doing some investigation on SMP-style kernel locking (on 
single processor machines).  I have compiled an SMP-enabled kernel on a 
single processor machine.  I am trying to see if there are any performance 
differences between SMP kernel locking and a non-SMP kernel locking (i.e. if 
anything slows down).  If there are, what can I do in the kernel source code 
to prove or show the performance differences? Any help would be greatly 
appreciated!  Thanks!
