Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 0/2] Deduplicating RISCV cmpxchg.h macros
Date: Thu,  6 Apr 2023 05:20:17 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230406082018.70367-1-leobras@redhat.com> (raw)

While studying riscv's cmpxchg.h file, I got really interested in
understanding how RISCV asm implemented the different versions of
{cmp,}xchg.

When I understood the pattern, it made sense for me to remove the
duplications and create macros to make it easier to understand what exactly
changes between the versions: Instruction sufixes & barriers.

Thanks!
Leo

Changes since RFCv2:
- Fixed  macros that depend on having a local variable with a magic name
- Previous cast to (long) is now only applied on 4-bytes cmpxchg
