According to the following commit: f5fe24ef17b5 ("lockref: stop doing cpu_relax in the cmpxchg loop") "On the x86-64 architecture even a failing cmpxchg grants exclusive access to the cacheline, making it preferable to retry the failed op immediately instead of stalling with the pause instruction." Based on the above observation, remove cpu_relax() from the local64_cmpxchg() loop of rapl_event_update().

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
