Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 0/3] Deduplicate RISCV cmpxchg.h and atomic.c macros
Date: Thu,  3 Aug 2023 02:13:57 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230803051401.710236-2-leobras@redhat.com> (raw)

I unified previous patchsets into a single one, since the work is related.

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.

Also, did the same kind of work on atomic.c.

Note to Guo Ren:
I did some further improvement after your previous reviews, so I ended
up afraid including your Reviewed-by before cheching if the changes are
ok for you. Please check it out again, I just removed some helper macros
that were not being used elsewhere in the kernel.

Thanks!
Leo

Changes since squashed cmpxchg:
- Unified with atomic.c patchset 
- Rebased on top of torvalds/master (thanks Andrea Parri!)
- Removed helper macros that were not being used elsewhere in the kernel.

Changes since (cmpxchg) RFCv3:
- Squashed the 6 original patches in 2: one for cmpxchg and one for xchg
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230404163741.2762165-1-leobras@redhat.com/

Changes since (cmpxchg) 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
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230321074249.2221674-1-leobras@redhat.com/

Changes since (cmpxchg) RFCv1:
- Fixed patch 4/6 suffix from 'w.aqrl' to '.w.aqrl', to avoid build error
