Will Deacon ae75d9089f locking/qspinlock: Use try_cmpxchg() instead of cmpxchg() when locking
When reaching the head of an uncontended queue on the qspinlock slow-path,
using a try_cmpxchg() instead of a cmpxchg() operation to transition the
lock work to _Q_LOCKED_VAL generates slightly better code for x86 and
pretty much identical code for arm64.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
