Uros Bizjak c2df0a6af1 locking/atomic/x86: Introduce arch_try_cmpxchg64
Introduce arch_try_cmpxchg64 for 64-bit and 32-bit targets to improve
code using cmpxchg64.  On 64-bit targets, the generated assembly improves
from:

  ab:	89 c8                	mov    %ecx,%eax
  ad:	48 89 4c 24 60       	mov    %rcx,0x60(%rsp)
  b2:	83 e0 fd             	and    $0xfffffffd,%eax
  b5:	89 54 24 64          	mov    %edx,0x64(%rsp)
  b9:	88 44 24 60          	mov    %al,0x60(%rsp)
  bd:	48 89 c8             	mov    %rcx,%rax
  c0:	c6 44 24 62 f2       	movb   $0xf2,0x62(%rsp)
  c5:	48 8b 74 24 60       	mov    0x60(%rsp),%rsi
  ca:	f0 49 0f b1 34 24    	lock cmpxchg %rsi,(%r12)
  d0:	48 39 c1             	cmp    %rax,%rcx
  d3:	75 cf                	jne    a4 <t+0xa4>

to:

  b3:	89 c2                	mov    %eax,%edx
  b5:	48 89 44 24 60       	mov    %rax,0x60(%rsp)
  ba:	83 e2 fd             	and    $0xfffffffd,%edx
  bd:	89 4c 24 64          	mov    %ecx,0x64(%rsp)
  c1:	88 54 24 60          	mov    %dl,0x60(%rsp)
  c5:	c6 44 24 62 f2       	movb   $0xf2,0x62(%rsp)
  ca:	48 8b 54 24 60       	mov    0x60(%rsp),%rdx
  cf:	f0 48 0f b1 13       	lock cmpxchg %rdx,(%rbx)
  d4:	75 d5                	jne    ab <t+0xab>

where a move and a compare after cmpxchg is saved.  The improvements
for 32-bit targets are even more noticeable, because dual-word compare
after cmpxchg8b gets eliminated.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
