    x86: Provide an alternative() based cmpxchg64() · 79e1dd05
    Arjan van de Ven 提交于
    cmpxchg64() today generates, to quote Linus, "barf bag" code.
    
    cmpxchg64() is about to get used in the scheduler to fix a bug there,
    but it's a prerequisite that cmpxchg64() first be made non-sucking.
    
    This patch turns cmpxchg64() into an efficient implementation that
    uses the alternative() mechanism to just use the raw instruction on
    all modern systems.
    
    Note: the fallback is NOT smp safe, just like the current fallback
    is not SMP safe. (Interested parties with i486 based SMP systems
    are welcome to submit fix patches for that.)
