The __cmpxchg_case_mb_32() function is kernel code from
arch/arm64/include/asm/cmpxchg.h, so I do not believe that's being generated by
the compiler from __sync_val_compare_and_swap().

Are you certain that's being built from the exact same C file?

Are you able to share the code in question? Where has it come from in the first
place?

Thanks,
Mark.
