[PATCH 0/3] locking/atomic/x86: Improve arch_cmpxchg64() and friends for x86_32

[Uros Bizjak <ubizjak@gmail.com>]

Following patch series improves arch_cmpxchg64() family
of functions and rewrites arch_cmpxchg64() family in a
similar way as was recently done for arch_cmpxchg128() family.

The improvements builds on recent improvement of emulated
cmpxchg8b_emu() library function and introduce
arch_try_cmpxchg64() also for !CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64 targets.

While the patch series enables impressive assembly code
reductions for somehow obsolete !CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64 targets,
the true reason for the changes will be evident from the
follow-up patch series, where this series enables unification
of several atomic functions between x86_64 and x86_32 targets.

OTOH, by adopting the same approach and similar structure of
arch_cmpxchg64() macros to arch_cmpxchg128() macros, these
patches lower future maintenace burden and technical debt
of the source code.
