This patchset adds atomic operations to the eBPF instruction set on powerpc. The instructions that are added here can be summarised with this list of kernel operations for ppc64: * atomic[64]_[fetch_]add * atomic[64]_[fetch_]and * atomic[64]_[fetch_]or * atomic[64]_[fetch_]xor * atomic[64]_xchg * atomic[64]_cmpxchg and this list of kernel operations for ppc32: * atomic_[fetch_]add * atomic_[fetch_]and * atomic_[fetch_]or * atomic_[fetch_]xor * atomic_xchg * atomic_cmpxchg The following are left out of scope for this effort: * 64 bit operations on ppc32. * Explicit memory barriers, 16 and 8 bit operations on both ppc32 & ppc64. The first patch adds support for bitwsie atomic operations on ppc64. The next patch adds fetch variant support for these instructions. The third patch adds support for xchg and cmpxchg atomic operations on ppc64. Patch #4 adds support for 32-bit atomic bitwise operations on ppc32. patch #5 adds support for xchg and cmpxchg atomic operations on ppc32.
