Hi all,

This is version two of the patches I previously posted here:

  https://lwn.net/Articles/650862/

The series adds support for a family of relaxed atomics to the kernel.
More specifically:

  - acquire/release/relaxed flavours of xchg, cmpxchg and {add,sub}_return
  - atomic_read_acquire
  - atomic_set_release

This came out of a separate patch series porting the (barrier-heavy)
qrwlock code to arm64. Rather than have arch-specific hooks littered
around the place, it makes more sense to define a core set of relaxed
atomics that can be used regardless of architecture.

Changes since v1 include:

  - Added macros to construct acquire/release/fence variants from a
    relaxed variant + barrier macros

  - Ported ARM as a proof of concept (with a negative diffstat!)

Build tested on ARM, arm64, PowerPC and x86.

All feedback welcome,

Will

Will Deacon (7):
  atomics: add acquire/release/relaxed variants of some atomic
    operations
  asm-generic: rework atomic-long.h to avoid bulk code duplication
  asm-generic: add relaxed/acquire/release variants for atomic_long_t
  lockref: remove homebrew cmpxchg64_relaxed macro definition
  locking/qrwlock: make use of acquire/release/relaxed atomics
  include/llist: use linux/atomic.h instead of asm/cmpxchg.h
  ARM: atomics: define our SMP atomics in terms of _relaxed operations
