[PATCH 0/3] KVM: s390: Couple of small cmpxchg() optimizations

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Use try_cmpxchg() instead of cmpxchg() so compilers with flag output
operand support (gcc 14 and newer) can generate slightly better code.

Also get rid of two cmpxchg() usages on one/two byte memory areas
which generates inefficient code.
