Subject[PATCH v2 cmpxchg 0/8] Provide emulation for one--byte cmpxchg()
Hello!

This v2 series provides emulation functions for one-byte cmpxchg,
and uses it for those architectures not supporting this in hardware.
The emulation is in terms of the fully ordered four-byte cmpxchg() that
is supplied by all of these architectures. This was tested by making
x86 forget that it can do one-byte cmpxchg() natively:

f0183ab28489 ("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.

The patches are as follows:

1. sparc32: make __cmpxchg_u32() return u32, courtesy of Al Viro.

2. sparc32: make the first argument of __cmpxchg_u64() volatile u64 *,
courtesy of Al Viro.

3. sparc32: unify __cmpxchg_u{32,64}, courtesy of Al Viro.

4. sparc32: add __cmpxchg_u{8,16}() and teach __cmpxchg() to handle those
sizes, courtesy of Al Viro.

5. parisc: __cmpxchg_u32(): lift conversion into the callers,
courtesy of Al Viro.

6. parisc: unify implementations of __cmpxchg_u{8,32,64}, courtesy of
Al Viro.

7. parisc: add missing export of __cmpxchg_u8(), courtesy of Al Viro.

8. parisc: add u16 support to cmpxchg(), courtesy of Al Viro.

9. lib: Add one-byte emulation function.

10. ARC: Emulate one-byte cmpxchg.

11. csky: Emulate one-byte cmpxchg.

12. sh: Emulate one-byte cmpxchg.

13. xtensa: Emulate one-byte cmpxchg.

Changes since v2:

o Dropped riscv patch in favor of alternative patch that
provides native support.

o Fixed yet more casting bugs spotted by kernel test robot
and by Geert Uytterhoeven.

Changes since v1:

o Add native support for sparc32 and parisc, courtesy of Al Viro.

o Remove two-byte emulation due to architectures that still do not
support two-byte load and store instructions, per Arnd Bergmann
feedback. (Yes, there are a few systems out there that do not
even support one-byte load instructions, but these are slated
for removal anyway.)

o Fix numerous casting bugs spotted by kernel test robot.

o Fix SPDX header. "//" for .c files and "/*" for .h files.
I am sure that there is a good reason for this. ;-)

Thanx, Paul
