Revision 3ac805d2afd3fa4a07cb5bcf352fd7fa83f28935 authored by Ingo Molnar on 03 July 2009, 10:51:19 UTC, committed by Ingo Molnar on 03 July 2009, 11:26:43 UTC
cmpxchg8b is a huge instruction in terms of register footprint,
we almost never want to inline it, not even within the same
code module.

GCC 4.3 still messes up for two functions, under-judging the
true cost of this instruction - so annotate two key functions
to reduce the bloat:

arch/x86/lib/atomic64_32.o:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   1763	      0	      0	   1763	    6e3	atomic64_32.o.before
    435	      0	      0	    435	    1b3	atomic64_32.o.after
