ARM: bitops: prefetch the destination word for write prior to strex
The cost of changing a cacheline from shared to exclusive state can be significant, especially when this is triggered by an exclusive store, since it may result in having to retry the transaction. This patch prefixes our atomic bitops implementation with prefetchw, to try and grab the line in exclusive state from the start. The testop macro is left alone, since the barrier semantics limit the usefulness of prefetching data. Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
