[PATCH 0/7] atomics: generate atomic headers

[Mark Rutland]

This series scripts the generation of the various atomic headers, to
ensure that the various atomic APIs remain consistent, reducing the risk
of human error, and simplifying future rework.

The series is based on my atomic API cleanup patches [1,2], and can be
found on my atomics/generated branch [3] on kernel.org.

The first three patches are preparatory rework, with patch four
introducing the infrastructure. The final three patches migrate to
generated headers. The scripts themselves are mostly POSIX sh (modulo
local), without bashisms, and work in dash and bash.

Per Linus request that it is possible to use git grep to inspect the
atomic headers [3], the headers are committed (and not generated by
kbuild). Since we now expand the fallback definitions inline, each
*should* be easier to find with grep. Each header also has a comment at
the top with a path to the script used to generate it. 

While the diff stat looks like a huge addition, the scripting comes in
at ~800 lines in total, including the fallback definitions, so we're
removing ~1000 lines of hand-written code. At the same time, we fill in
gaps in the atomic_long API, and the instrumented atomic wrappers.

Longer-term, I think things could be simplified if we were to rework the
headers such that we have:

* arch/*/include/asm/atomic.h providing arch_atomic_*().

* include/linux/atomic-raw.h building raw_atomic_*() atop of the
  arch_atomic_*() definitions, filling in gaps in the API. Having
  separate arch_ and raw_ namespaces would simplify the ifdeffery.

* include/linux/atomic.h building atomic_*() atop of the raw_atomic_*()
  definitions, complete with any instrumentation. Instrumenting at this
  level would lower the instrumentation overhead, and would not require
  any ifdeffery as the whole raw_atomic_*() API would be available.

... I've avoided this for the time being due to the necessary churn in
arch code.

Thanks,
Mark.
