[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/vmalloc: use __this_cpu_try_cmpxchg() in preload_this_cpu_lock()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-vmalloc-use-__this_cpu_try_cmpxchg-in-preload_this_cpu_lock.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/vmalloc: use __this_cpu_try_cmpxchg() in preload_this_cpu_lock()
Date: Tue, 28 May 2024 16:43:14 +0200

Use __this_cpu_try_cmpxchg() instead of __this_cpu_cmpxchg (*ptr, old,
new) == old in preload_this_cpu_lock().  x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns
success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg.

The generated code improves from:

    4bb6:	48 85 f6             	test   %rsi,%rsi
    4bb9:	0f 84 10 fa ff ff    	je     45cf <...>
    4bbf:	4c 89 e8             	mov    %r13,%rax
    4bc2:	65 48 0f b1 35 00 00 	cmpxchg %rsi,%gs:0x0(%rip)
    4bc9:	00 00
    4bcb:	48 85 c0             	test   %rax,%rax
    4bce:	0f 84 fb f9 ff ff    	je     45cf <...>

to:

    4bb6:	48 85 f6             	test   %rsi,%rsi
    4bb9:	0f 84 10 fa ff ff    	je     45cf <...>
    4bbf:	4c 89 e8             	mov    %r13,%rax
    4bc2:	65 48 0f b1 35 00 00 	cmpxchg %rsi,%gs:0x0(%rip)
    4bc9:	00 00
    4bcb:	0f 84 fe f9 ff ff    	je     45cf <...>

No functional change intended.
