mm/page_alloc: use try_cmpxchg in set_pfnblock_flags_mask
Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg in set_pfnblock_flags_mask. x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction in front of cmpxchg). The main loop improves from: 1c5d: 48 89 c2 mov %rax,%rdx 1c60: 48 89 c1 mov %rax,%rcx 1c63: 48 21 fa and %rdi,%rdx 1c66: 4c 09 c2 or %r8,%rdx 1c69: f0 48 0f b1 16 lock cmpxchg %rdx,(%rsi) 1c6e: 48 39 c1 cmp %rax,%rcx 1c71: 75 ea jne 1c5d <...> to: 1c60: 48 89 ca mov %rcx,%rdx 1c63: 48 21 c2 and %rax,%rdx 1c66: 4c 09 c2 or %r8,%rdx 1c69: f0 48 0f b1 16 lock cmpxchg %rdx,(%rsi) 1c6e: 75 f0 jne 1c60 <...> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220708140736.8737-1-ubizjak@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Uros Bizjak <ubizjak@gmail.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
