[PATCH 2/2] perf/ring_buffer: Use local_try_cmpxchg in __perf_output_begin

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

 



Use local_try_cmpxchg instead of local_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old
in __perf_output_begin.  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.
