Hi,

> 
> Unit test and perf test for MCS queued lock.

Perf test is important of course, but first I think we need
more robust functional test to make sure that lock does work properly.
At least something like ticketlock test but probably with bigger number of iterations.
10K seems quite small here.
In fact with this one we'll have 3 lock methods, I think it makes sense to have 
one united UT framework for them, so only actual lock/unlock would be different.

Yes. I agree. I think we should also consider the total time consuming of the test. As more cores are involved in the lock contention, more time is required to complete the test.

+1.  
Since the APIs of MCS lock is different with spinlock and ticket lock, so I am wondering that what will this united UT framework look like?
Will it be the same test case that integrates 3 sets of lock tests running with different cmd line?

+ * - The functional test takes all of these locks and launches the
+ *   ''test_mcslock_per_core()'' function on each core (except the master).
+ *
+ *   - The function takes the global lock, display something, then releases
+ *     the global lock on each core.
+ *
+ * - A load test is carried out, with all cores attempting to lock a single
+ *   lock multiple times.
