Subject: [patch 2/2] x86_64: use asm() like the other atomic operations already do.
Date: Wed, 15 Aug 2007 00:38:47 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070814224337.637361487@breakpoint.cc> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20070814223845.518697567@breakpoint.cc

[-- Attachment #1: atomic_x86_64.diff --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2707 bytes --]

As Segher pointed out, inline asm is better than the volatile casting all over
the place. From the PowerPC patch description:
 Also use inline functions instead of macros; this actually
 improves code generation (some code becomes a little smaller,
 probably because of improved alias information -- just a few
 hundred bytes total on a default kernel build, nothing shocking).

My config with march=k8 and gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2):
