Subject[PATCH v2] KVM: VMX: Use try_cmpxchg64 in pi_try_set_control
Date
Use try_cmpxchg64 instead of cmpxchg64 (*ptr, old, new) != old
in pi_try_set_control. cmpxchg returns success in ZF flag, so this
change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction
in front of cmpxchg):

b9: 88 44 24 60 mov %al,0x60(%rsp)
bd: 48 89 c8 mov %rcx,%rax
c0: c6 44 24 62 f2 movb $0xf2,0x62(%rsp)
c5: 48 8b 74 24 60 mov 0x60(%rsp),%rsi
ca: f0 49 0f b1 34 24 lock cmpxchg %rsi,(%r12)
d0: 48 39 c1 cmp %rax,%rcx
d3: 75 cf jne a4 <vmx_vcpu_pi_load+0xa4>

patched:

c1: 88 54 24 60 mov %dl,0x60(%rsp)
c5: c6 44 24 62 f2 movb $0xf2,0x62(%rsp)
ca: 48 8b 54 24 60 mov 0x60(%rsp),%rdx
cf: f0 48 0f b1 13 lock cmpxchg %rdx,(%rbx)
d4: 75 d5 jne ab <vmx_vcpu_pi_load+0xab>
