Patch 2 of 2
Use have_arch_cmpxchg() to select between irq disable and cmpxchg_local.
Pro:
- Should provide the same performances on architectures that does not provide
fast local_cmpxchg.
- Improved performances on architectures that provide fast local_cmpxchg.
Cons:
- Does not help code readability, i.e.:
if (have_arch_cmpxchg())
preempt_disable();
else
local_irq_save(flags);
It applies on top of the cmpxchg_local() slub patch.
It depends on the Add have_arch_cmpxchg() patch.
