This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tracing: Use atomic64_inc_return() in trace_clock_counter() to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tracing-use-atomic64_inc_return-in-trace_clock_count.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 73319ed6fbc1a28790d34ac3dae0a8d044d1e391 Author: Uros Bizjak <ubizjak@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Oct 7 10:56:28 2024 +0200 tracing: Use atomic64_inc_return() in trace_clock_counter() [ Upstream commit eb887c4567d1b0e7684c026fe7df44afa96589e6 ] Use atomic64_inc_return(&ref) instead of atomic64_add_return(1, &ref) to use optimized implementation and ease register pressure around the primitive for targets that implement optimized variant.
