ifcvt could do this. But is cmpxchgq really faster with its atomictiy
guarantee?
They are all vector-path instructions, a compare - cmov sequence looks
faster (8 cycle latency vs. 10 and also with less constraints on register
allocation). Even the code we emit now:
emit_cmpxchg:
.LFB2:
movq (%rdi), %rax
cmpq %rsi, %rax
je .L6
rep ; ret
.p2align 4,,7
.L6:
movq %rdx, (%rdi)
ret
could be faster dependent on branch probability.
