Subject: perf: Optimize perf_output_*() by avoiding local_xchg()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.35-rc1~3^2~38
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6d1acfd5c6bfd5231c13a8f2858d7f2afbaa1b62;p=profile%2Fivi%2Fkernel-adaptation-intel-automotive.git

perf: Optimize perf_output_*() by avoiding local_xchg()

Since the x86 XCHG ins implies LOCK, avoid the use by
using a sequence count instead.
