[PATCH RFC cmpxchg 0/8] Provide emulation for one- and two-byte cmpxchg()

[Paul E. McKenney]

Hello!

This series provides emulation functions for one-byte and two-byte
cmpxchg, and uses them for those architectures not supporting these
in hardware.  The emulation is in terms of the fully ordered four-byte
cmpxchg() that is supplied by all of these architectures.  These were
tested by making x86 forget that it can do these natively:

88a9b3f7a924 ("EXP arch/x86: Test one-byte cmpxchg emulation")

This commit is local to -rcu and is of course not intended for mainline.

If accepted, RCU Tasks will use this capability in place of the current
rcu_trc_cmpxchg_need_qs() open-coding of this emulation.

1.	Add one-byte and two-byte cmpxchg() emulation functions.

2.	sparc: Emulate one-byte and two-byte cmpxchg.

3.	ARC: Emulate one-byte and two-byte cmpxchg.

4.	csky: Emulate one-byte and two-byte cmpxchg.

5.	sh: Emulate one-byte and two-byte cmpxchg.

6.	xtensa: Emulate one-byte and two-byte cmpxchg.

7.	parisc: Emulate two-byte cmpxchg.

8.	riscv: Emulate one-byte and two-byte cmpxchg.

						Thanx, Paul
