[ltt-dev] [PATCH 0/4] v2: Add gcc primitives, ia64 support, ARMv7L support, and kill unknown

[Paul E. McKenney]

Hello!

This set of four patches does the following:

o	Add header files providing definitions based on the gcc __sync_
	set of primitives.

o	Add IA64 support based on the gcc definitions.

o	Add native ARMv7L support.

o	Force build failures on unknown architectures.

Updates since v1:

o	Add note that this works back to at least 2.6.15 kernels.

							Thanx, Paul

[ltt-dev] [PATCH tip/core/rcu 1/4] Add header files supporting gcc __sync_ primitives

[Paul E. McKenney]

Add a urcu/arch_gcc.h and urcu/uatomic_arch_gcc.h whose primitives are
based on the gcc __sync_ primitives.  This should be usable for all
systems that have correctly implemented __sync_ primitives, which sadly
does not include all combinations of systems and compilers.  In addition,
specific systems may gain higher performance with hand-coded primitives.
Nevertheless, this is nice for getting a new architecture up and running
quickly.

[ltt-dev] [PATCH tip/core/rcu 4/4] Force build failure on unknown architectures

[Paul E. McKenney]

Create urcu/arch_unknown.h and urcu/uatomic_arch_unknown.h, which
contain only #error statements and explanatory comments.  This forces
build failures on unrecognized architectures in preference to trying
to guess at what operations might be safe on such architectures.

One other semi-feasible alternative is to use hashed arrays of locks
that are acquired with signals disabled.  However, this seems a bit
too ornate, especially for architectures for which the gcc __sync_
primitives work correctly.

Good point -- I need to prune in favor of arch_generic.h.
Therefore getting rid of both CACHE_LINE_SIZE and mb().

Good point -- I clearly am still catching up with the autoconf
changes to this library!  Thank you for bearing with me here.

What I will do is define both UATOMIC_HAS_ATOMIC_BYTE and
UATOMIC_HAS_ATOMIC_SHORT in uatomic_arch_gcc.h, which allows
leveraging uatomic_arch_generic.h -- no other definitions required.

Of course, the same applies to the ARM stuff...

So letting arch_generic.h define CACHE_LINE_SIZE.  I need to keep mb()
in arch_armv7l.h due to the compiler bug.  At some point, I should
make this depend on __GNUC__, __GNUC_MINOR__, and __GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__.

Given that ARM supports atomic operations on all sizes up to 32 bits,
seems simplest to just supply the bare __sync_ definitions, so will
leave uatomic_arch_armv7l.h as is for the moment.

Will respin, test, and resend!

							Thanx, Paul
