[PATCH 07/24] alpha: select ARCH_SUPPORTS_ATOMIC_RMW
From: Matt Turner
Date: Tue Sep 01 2026 - 12:11:48 EST
Alpha has native LL/SC instructions (LDL_L/STL_C, LDQ_L/STQ_C) that
provide atomic read-modify-write capability, and already selects
ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.
Selecting ARCH_SUPPORTS_ATOMIC_RMW enables MUTEX_SPIN_ON_OWNER and
RWSEM_SPIN_ON_OWNER on SMP, allowing optimistic spinning on contended
locks rather than immediately sleeping.
