Hello!
This series provides emulation functions for one-byte and two-byte
cmpxchg, and uses them for those architectures not supporting these
in hardware. The emulation is in terms of the fully ordered four-byte
cmpxchg() that is supplied by all of these architectures. These were
tested by making x86 forget that it can do these natively:
88a9b3f7a924 ("EXP arch/x86: Test one-byte cmpxchg emulation")
This commit is local to -rcu and is of course not intended for mainline.
If accepted, RCU Tasks will use this capability in place of the current
rcu_trc_cmpxchg_need_qs() open-coding of this emulation.
1. Add one-byte and two-byte cmpxchg() emulation functions.
2. sparc: Emulate one-byte and two-byte cmpxchg.
3. ARC: Emulate one-byte and two-byte cmpxchg.
4. csky: Emulate one-byte and two-byte cmpxchg.
5. sh: Emulate one-byte and two-byte cmpxchg.
6. xtensa: Emulate one-byte and two-byte cmpxchg.
7. parisc: Emulate two-byte cmpxchg.
8. riscv: Emulate one-byte and two-byte cmpxchg.
Thanx, Paul
