x86, asm: Clean up and simplify set_64bit()
Clean up and simplify set_64bit(). This code is quite old (1.3.11) and contains a fair bit of auxilliary machinery that current versions of gcc handle just fine automatically. Worse, the auxilliary machinery can actually cause an unnecessary spill to memory. Furthermore, the loading of the old value inside the loop in the 32-bit case is unnecessary: if the value doesn't match, the CMPXCHG8B instruction will already have loaded the "new previous" value for us. Clean up the comment, too, and remove page references to obsolete versions of the Intel SDM. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> LKML-Reference: <tip-*@vger.kernel.org>

/*
- * The semantics of XCHGCMP8B are a bit strange, this is why
- * there is a loop and the loading of %%eax and %%edx has to
- * be inside. This inlines well in most cases, the cached
- * cost is around ~38 cycles. (in the future we might want
- * to do an SIMD/3DNOW!/MMX/FPU 64-bit store here, but that
- * might have an implicit FPU-save as a cost, so it's not
- * clear which path to go.)
+ * CMPXCHG8B only writes to the target if we had the previous
+ * value in registers, otherwise it acts as a read and gives us the
+ * "new previous" value. That is why there is a loop. Preloading
+ * EDX:EAX is a performance optimization: in the common case it means
+ * we need only one locked operation.
*
- * cmpxchg8b must be used with the lock prefix here to allow
- * the instruction to be executed atomically, see page 3-102
- * of the instruction set reference 24319102.pdf. We need
- * the reader side to see the coherent 64bit value.
+ * A SIMD/3DNOW!/MMX/FPU 64-bit store here would require at the very
+ * least an FPU save and/or %cr0.ts manipulation.
