From 0b2fcfdb8b4e7e379192f24ea2203163ddf5df1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Piggin Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2006 03:01:02 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] atomic: add_unless cmpxchg optimise Without branch hints, the very unlikely chance of the loop repeating due to cmpxchg failure is unrolled with gcc-4 that I have tested. Improve this for architectures with a native cas/cmpxchg. llsc archs should try to implement this natively.
