Coincidentally I was also looking at some hotspot locations around
LWLockAcquire() and LWLockAttempt() for read-only work-loads on both
arm64 and x86, and had narrowed down to the place where
pg_atomic_compare_exchange_u32() is called. So it's likely we are
working on the same hotspot area. When I get a chance, I do plan to
look at your patch while I myself am trying to see if we can do some
optimizations. Although, this is unrelated to the optimization of this
mail thread, so this will need a different mail thread.
