2017-05-18 14:51:21 dann frazier description [Impact] Performance is lowered for ARM >= v8.1 cpus by not taking advantage of the "Large System Extenstion" atomic instructions they provide. Note: This config was enabled during xenial development, but was disabled to workaround a FTBFS[*] due to us not having a new enough binutils to support it. binutils was later updated in xenial, and supports these instructions. [Test Case] TBD [Regression Risk] There is a known small performance overhead for <= ARMv8.1 arm64 systems (noted in the Kconfig).
