HOW THE HELL DID THAT NOT GET INLINED? cmpxchg() is a _single_ instruction if it's inlined, but it's a horrible mess of dynamic conditionals on the (constant - per call-site) size argument if it isn't. It looks like you probably enabled the "let gcc mess up inlining" config option. Ingo - I think we need to remove that crap again. Because gcc gets the inlining horribly horribly wrong. As usual.
