# HEAD: f1b5644862c5b594f48ad01d7880a96b95d83a2f: ARM: Emulate one-byte cmpxchg (2024-07-04 13:32:41 -0700)

ARM: Provide one-byte cmpxchg emulation

This series provides emulated one-byte cmpxchg() support for ARM
using the cmpxchg_emu_u8() function that uses a four-byte cmpxchg()
to emulate the one-byte variant.

Similar patches for emulation of one-byte cmpxchg() for arc, sh, and
xtensa have not yet received maintainer acks, so they are slated for
the v6.12 merge window.
