[RFC PATCH 0/6] Deduplicating RISCV cmpxchg.h macros
From: Leonardo Bras
Date: Sat Mar 18 2023 - 04:02:31 EST
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.
I split those changes in 3 levels for each cmpxchg and xchg, resulting a
total of 6 patches. I did this so it becomes easier to review and remove
the last levels if desired, but I have no issue squashing them if it's
better.
Please provide comments.
Thanks!
Leo
