Subject: [PATCH] sched/clock: Use try_cmpxchg64 in sched_clock_{local,remote}
Date: Wed, 18 May 2022 20:49:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220518184953.3446778-1-ubizjak@gmail.com> (raw)

Use try_cmpxchg64 instead of cmpxchg64 (*ptr, old, new) != old in
sched_clock_{local,remote}. x86 cmpxchg returns success in ZF flag,
so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move
instruction in front of cmpxchg).
