Re: [lttng-dev] Add support for the LOONGARCH architecture

[Mathieu Desnoyers via lttng-dev <lttng-dev@lists.lttng.org>]

Hi,

I notice that the loongarch enablement patch defines:

#define UATOMIC_HAS_ATOMIC_BYTE
#define UATOMIC_HAS_ATOMIC_SHORT

I tried looking into

  https://loongson.github.io/LoongArch-Documentation/LoongArch-Vol1-EN.html#atomic-memory-access-instructions

to figure out which atomic instructions or LL/SC would be used to target 1 and 2 byte
variables atomically, but could only find instructions for word and double-word:

2.2.7.1. AM{SWAP/ADD/AND/OR/XOR/MAX/MIN}[DB].{W/D}, AM{MAX/MIN}[_DB].{WU/DU}
2.2.7.2. LL.{W/D}, SC.{W/D}

What am I missing here ?

Thanks,

Mathieu
