The target code is also in tryTrim() but the surrounding is different from the current master, as well as the original mask name. The core change is the same, candidate for compareAndSetCtl() is constructed using '(c & RC_MASK) | ((c - TC_UNIT) & TC_MASK)' instead of '(UC_MASK & (c - TC_UNIT))' to correctly preserve the RC subfield.
