Subject: [PATCH v2] KVM: VMX: Use try_cmpxchg64 in pi_try_set_control
Date: Fri, 20 May 2022 16:37:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220520143737.62513-1-ubizjak@gmail.com> (raw)
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)
