Hi,
Going on Richard's advice, I've tried to write an alpha futex
implementation based on the powerpc futex.h.
I've gotten this far.. :\
#define __futex_atomic_op(insn, ret, oldval, uaddr, oparg) \
__asm__ __volatile( \
"1: ldl_l %0,%2\n" \
insn \
/* something needs to happen here
* to save result of insn across
* stl_c? */
" stl_c %1,%2\n" \
" beq %1,2f\n" \
" mb\n" \
/* something needs to happen here
* for the ret */
" .subsection 2\n" \
"2: br 1b\n" \
" .previous\n" \
: "=&r" (oldval), "=&r" (ret) \
: "b" (uaddr) \
: "memory")
Could someone take a look and help finish it?
For futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic, I think Ivan's DRM_CAS
implementation can be used with only trivial changes. See
