[PATCH v2 3/3] xen: Use sync_try_cmpxchg instead of sync_cmpxchg

From: Uros Bizjak
Date: Sun Oct 01 2023 - 06:41:17 EST


Use sync_try_cmpxchg instead of sync_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old
in clear_masked_cond(), clear_linked() and
gnttab_end_foreign_access_ref_v1(). x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns
success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg
(and related move instruction in front of cmpxchg), improving the
cmpxchg loop in gnttab_end_foreign_access_ref_v1 from:

174: eb 0e jmp 184 <...>
176: 89 d0 mov %edx,%eax
178: f0 66 0f b1 31 lock cmpxchg %si,(%rcx)
17d: 66 39 c2 cmp %ax,%dx
180: 74 11 je 193 <...>
182: 89 c2 mov %eax,%edx
184: 89 d6 mov %edx,%esi
186: 66 83 e6 18 and $0x18,%si
18a: 74 ea je 176 <...>

to:

614: 89 c1 mov %eax,%ecx
616: 66 83 e1 18 and $0x18,%cx
61a: 75 11 jne 62d <...>
61c: f0 66 0f b1 0a lock cmpxchg %cx,(%rdx)
621: 75 f1 jne 614 <...>

No functional change intended.
