Use atomic_try_cmpxchg() instead of atomic_cmpxchg(*ptr, old, new) == old in hv_nmi_unknown(). On x86 the CMPXCHG instruction returns success in the ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after CMPXCHG. The generated asm code improves from: 3e: 65 8b 15 00 00 00 00 mov %gs:0x0(%rip),%edx 45: b8 ff ff ff ff mov $0xffffffff,%eax 4a: f0 0f b1 15 00 00 00 lock cmpxchg %edx,0x0(%rip) 51: 00 52: 83 f8 ff cmp $0xffffffff,%eax 55: 0f 95 c0 setne %al to: 3e: 65 8b 15 00 00 00 00 mov %gs:0x0(%rip),%edx 45: b8 ff ff ff ff mov $0xffffffff,%eax 4a: f0 0f b1 15 00 00 00 lock cmpxchg %edx,0x0(%rip) 51: 00 52: 0f 95 c0 setne %al No functional change intended.

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.
