locking,arch: Use ACCESS_ONCE() instead of cast to volatile in atomic_read()

2014-10-03T04:06:23+00:00

Use the much more reader friendly ACCESS_ONCE() instead of the cast to volatile.
This is purely a stylistic change.

locking, mips: Fix atomics

2014-09-10T09:45:06+00:00

The patch folding the atomic ops had two silly fails in the _return
primitives.

locking,arch,mips: Fold atomic_ops

2014-08-14T10:48:09+00:00

Many of the atomic op implementations are the same except for one
instruction; fold the lot into a few CPP macros and reduce LoC.

This also prepares for easy addition of new ops.

arch,mips: Convert smp_mb__*()

2014-04-18T12:20:38+00:00

MIPS is interesting and has hardware variants that reorder over ll/sc
as well as those that do not.

Implement the 2 new barrier functions as per the old barriers.

MIPS: Fix gigaton of warning building with microMIPS.

2014-03-31T16:17:12+00:00

With binutils 2.24 the attempt to switch with microMIPS mode to MIPS III
mode through .set mips3 results in *lots* of warnings like

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:397: Warning: the 64-bit MIPS architecture does not support the `smartmips' extension

during a kernel build.  Fixed by using .set arch=r4000 instead.

This breaks support for building the kernel with binutils 2.13 which
was supported for 32 bit kernels only anyway and 2.14 which was a bad
vintage for MIPS anyway.

MIPS: Whitespace cleanup.

2013-02-01T09:00:22+00:00

Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this
once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling

Improve atomic.h robustness

2012-10-11T09:02:36+00:00

I've maintained this patch, originally from Thiemo Seufer in 2004, for a
really long time, but I think it's time for it to get a look at for
possible inclusion.  I have had no problems with it across various SGI
systems over the years.

To quote the post here:
http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2004-12/msg00000.html

"the atomic functions use so far memory references for the inline
assembler to access the semaphore. This can lead to additional
instructions in the ll/sc loop, because newer compilers don't
expand the memory reference any more but leave it to the assembler.

The appended patch uses registers instead, and makes the ll/sc
arguments more explicit. In some cases it will lead also to better
register scheduling because the register isn't bound to an output
any more."

atomic: cleanup asm-generic atomic*.h inclusion

2011-07-26T23:49:47+00:00

After changing all consumers of atomics to include , we
ran into some compile time errors due to this dependency chain:

linux/atomic.h
  -> asm/atomic.h
    -> asm-generic/atomic-long.h

where atomic-long.h could use funcs defined later in linux/atomic.h
without a prototype.  This patches moves the code that includes
asm-generic/atomic*.h to linux/atomic.h.

Archs that need  need to select
CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64 from now on (some of them used to include it
unconditionally).

Compile tested on i386 and x86_64 with allnoconfig.
