Define target-specific {raw,this}_cpu_try_cmpxchg64() and
{raw,this}_cpu_try_cmpxchg128() macros. These definitions override
the generic fallback definitions and enable target-specific
optimized implementations.
Several places in mm/slub.o improve from e.g.:
53bc: 48 8d 4f 40 lea 0x40(%rdi),%rcx
53c0: 48 89 fa mov %rdi,%rdx
53c3: 49 8b 5c 05 00 mov 0x0(%r13,%rax,1),%rbx
53c8: 4c 89 e8 mov %r13,%rax
53cb: 49 8d 30 lea (%r8),%rsi
53ce: e8 00 00 00 00 call 53d3 <...>
53cf: R_X86_64_PLT32 this_cpu_cmpxchg16b_emu-0x4
53d3: 48 31 d7 xor %rdx,%rdi
53d6: 4c 31 e8 xor %r13,%rax
53d9: 48 09 c7 or %rax,%rdi
53dc: 75 ae jne 538c <...>
to:

53c0: 49 8b 1c 07 mov (%r15,%rax,1),%rbx

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
