OK, I can then simplify the implementation to:
[...]
* On 64-bit architectures, both cpu_id and event_counter can be updated
* with a single 64-bit store. On 32-bit architectures, __put_user() is
* expected to perform two 32-bit single-copy stores to guarantee
* single-copy atomicity semantics for other threads.
*/
static bool rseq_update_cpu_id_event_counter(struct task_struct *t)
{
union rseq_cpu_event u;
u.e.cpu_id = raw_smp_processor_id();
u.e.event_counter = ++t->rseq_event_counter;
if (__put_user(u.v, &t->rseq->u.v))
return false;
trace_rseq_inc(t->rseq_event_counter);
return true;
}
Thanks!
