Uros Bizjak 4fbf8b136d locking/atomics: Use atomic_try_cmpxchg_release() to micro-optimize rcuref_put_slowpath()
Use atomic_try_cmpxchg() instead of atomic_cmpxchg(*ptr, old, new) == old
in rcuref_put_slowpath(). On x86 the CMPXCHG instruction returns success in the
ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after CMPXCHG.  Additionaly,
the compiler reorders some code blocks to follow likely/unlikely
annotations in the atomic_try_cmpxchg() macro, improving the code from:

  9a:	f0 0f b1 0b          	lock cmpxchg %ecx,(%rbx)
  9e:	83 f8 ff             	cmp    $0xffffffff,%eax
  a1:	74 04                	je     a7 <rcuref_put_slowpath+0x27>
  a3:	31 c0                	xor    %eax,%eax

to:

  9a:	f0 0f b1 0b          	lock cmpxchg %ecx,(%rbx)
  9e:	75 4c                	jne    ec <rcuref_put_slowpath+0x6c>
  a0:	b0 01                	mov    $0x1,%al

No functional change intended.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
