Use local64_try_cmpxchg instead of local64_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in perfmon_pmu_event_update. x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction in front of cmpxchg). Also, try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg fails. There is no need to re-read the value in the loop. No functional change intended.
