Subject: [RFC PATCH] arm64: make bitops 32-bit tolerant
Date: Sun, 27 Apr 2014 10:21:17 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1398590477-15375-1-git-send-email-murzin.v@gmail.com> (raw)

Xen assumes that bit operations are able to operate on 32-bit size and
alignment [1]. For arm64 bitops are based on atomic exclusive load/store
instructions to guarantee that changes are made atomically. However, these
instructions require that address to be aligned to the data size. Because, by
default, bitops operates on 64-bit size it implies that address should be
aligned appropriately. All these lead to breakage of Xen assumption for bitops
properties.

This patch turns bitops to operate on 32-bit size/alignment.

 With this patch applied I was able to boot both Dom0 and DomU.
