Subject: cheap special-case optimization for normal mutexes
X-Git-Tag: v0.7.5~19
X-Git-Url: https://git.librecmc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=124b4ebc8a293e616cc0a7eaba3587c9b7ff13ec;p=oweals%2Fmusl.git

cheap special-case optimization for normal mutexes

cycle-level benchmark on atom cpu showed typical pthread_mutex_lock
call dropping from ~120 cycles to ~90 cycles with this change. benefit
may vary with compiler options and version, but this optimization is
very cheap to make and should always help some.
