[PATCH 3/3] KVM/VMX: Use try_cmpxchg64() in posted_intr.c

From: Uros Bizjak
Date: Tue Dec 15 2020 - 13:30:07 EST


Use try_cmpxchg64() instead of cmpxchg64() to reuse flags from
cmpxchg/cmpxchg8b instruction. For 64 bit targets flags reuse
avoids a CMP instruction, while for 32 bit targets flags reuse
avoids XOR/XOR/OR instruction sequence.
