[RFC PATCH 0/2] riscv/spinlock,atomic: Miscellaneous fixes

[Andrea Parri]

Hi,

This RFC is a follow-up on the discussion in [1], which led to the
discovery of a few issues in the current implementations of RISC-V
locking and atomic operations.

In summary, this series proposes the following modifications:

  1. Use lightweigth fences for acquire/release (locking, atomics)

  2. Use the combination of .rl and full fences for fully-ordered
     atomics implemented with LR/SC pairs.

  3. A few style changes (80-chars lines, alignment).

Applies on top of "next-smp_sl_ar".

Cheers,
  Andrea
