Introduce arch_try_cmpxchg64_local() for 64-bit and 32-bit targets
to improve code using cmpxchg64_local(). On 64-bit targets, the
generated assembly improves from:
3e28: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax
3e2a: 4d 0f b1 7d 00 cmpxchg %r15,0x0(%r13)
3e2f: 48 85 c0 test %rax,%rax
3e32: 0f 85 9f 00 00 00 jne 3ed7 <...>
to:
3e28: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax
3e2a: 4d 0f b1 7d 00 cmpxchg %r15,0x0(%r13)
3e2f: 0f 85 9f 00 00 00 jne 3ed4 <...>
where a TEST instruction after CMPXCHG is saved. The improvements
for 32-bit targets are even more noticeable, because double-word
compare after CMPXCHG8B gets eliminated.

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 reStructuredText 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.
