page fault scalability patch V13 [3/8]: universal cmpxchg for i386

Christoph Lameter
2004-12-17T03:34:36Z

Changelog
* Make cmpxchg and cmpxchg8b generally available on the i386
platform.
* Provide emulation of cmpxchg suitable for uniprocessor if
build and run on 386.
* Provide emulation of cmpxchg8b suitable for uniprocessor
systems if build and run on 386 or 486.
* Provide an inline function to atomically get a 64 bit value
via cmpxchg8b in an SMP system (courtesy of Nick Piggin)
(important for i386 PAE mode and other places where atomic
64 bit operations are useful)
