Emulates the cmpxchg_local by disabling interrupts around variable modification. This is not reentrant wrt NMIs and MCEs. It is only protected against normal interrupts, but this is enough for architectures without such interrupt sources or if used in a context where the data is not shared with such handlers. It can be used as a fallback for architectures lacking a real cmpxchg instruction. For architectures that have a real cmpxchg but does not have NMIs or MCE, testing which of the generic vs architecture specific cmpxchg is the fastest should be done. asm-generic/cmpxchg.h defines a cmpxchg that uses cmpxchg_local. It is meant to be used as a cmpxchg fallback for architectures that do not support SMP. * Patch series comments Using cmpxchg_local shows a performance improvements of the fast path goes from a 66% speedup on a Pentium 4 to a 14% speedup on AMD64.
