percpu: Avoid extra NOP in percpu_cmpxchg16b_double
percpu_cmpxchg16b_double() uses alternative_io() and looks like : e8 .. .. .. .. call this_cpu_cmpxchg16b_emu X bytes NOPX or, once patched (if cpu supports native instruction) on SMP build : 65 48 0f c7 0e cmpxchg16b %gs:(%rsi) 0f 94 c0 sete %al on !SMP build : 48 0f c7 0e cmpxchg16b (%rsi) 0f 94 c0 sete %al Therefore, NOPX should be : P6_NOP3 on SMP P6_NOP2 on !SMP Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
