Subject: [PATCH 1/7] Add Kconfig option ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG
Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2011 13:54:39 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1298267685-7357-2-git-send-email-ying.huang@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1298267685-7357-1-git-send-email-ying.huang@intel.com>

cmpxchg() is widely used by lockless code, including NMI-safe lockless
code.  But on some architectures, the cmpxchg() implementation is not
NMI-safe, on these architectures the lockless code may need to a
spin_trylock_irqsave() based implementation.

This patch adds a Kconfig option: ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG, so that
NMI-safe lockless code can depend on it or provide different
implementation according to it.

On many architectures, cmpxchg is only NMI-safe for several specific
operand sizes. So, ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG define in this patch
only guarantees cmpxchg is NMI-safe for sizeof(unsigned long).
