[uclibc-ng-devel] [PATCH 3/3] NPTL/ARC: provide a kernel assisted atomic cmpxchg

For hardware configurations lacking LLOCK/SCOND (say ARC750), use a syscall to atomically do the cmpxchg. This is costly and painful, but really the only way out. Note that kenrel only guarantees this to work in a UP configuraion Reported-by: Avinash Patil <avinashp(a)quantenna.com> Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta(a)synopsys.com> --- libc/sysdeps/linux/arc/bits/atomic.h | 37 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 35 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/libc/sysdeps/linux/arc/bits/atomic.h b/libc/sysdeps/linux/arc/bits/atomic.h index 48f37879c5c4..587860964744 100644 --- a/libc/sysdeps/linux/arc/bits/atomic.h +++ b/libc/sysdeps/linux/arc/bits/atomic.h @@ -38,6 +38,11 @@ void __arc_link_error (void); #define __arch_compare_and_exchange_val_16_acq(mem, newval, oldval) \ ({ __arc_link_error (); oldval; }) +#define __arch_compare_and_exchange_val_64_acq(mem, newval, oldval) \ + ({ __arc_link_error (); oldval; }) + +#ifdef __CONFIG_ARC_HAS_ATOMICS__ + #define __arch_compare_and_exchange_val_32_acq(mem, newval, oldval) \ ({ \ __typeof(oldval) prev; \ @@ -56,8 +61,36 @@ void __arc_link_error (void); prev; \ }) -#define __arch_compare_and_exchange_val_64_acq(mem, newval, oldval) \ - ({ __arc_link_error (); oldval; }) +#else + +#ifndef __NR_arc_usr_cmpxchg +#error "__NR_arc_usr_cmpxchg missing: Please upgrade to kernel 4.9+ headers" +#endif + +/* With lack of hardware assist, use kernel to do the atomic operation + This will only work in a UP configuration + */ +#define __arch_compare_and_exchange_val_32_acq(mem, newval, oldval) \ + ({ \ + /* opecode INTERNAL_SYSCALL as it lacks cc clobber */ \ + register int __ret __asm__("r0") = (int)(mem); \ + register int __a1 __asm__("r1") = (int)(oldval); \ + register int __a2 __asm__("r2") = (int)(newval); \ + register int _sys_num __asm__("r8") = __NR_arc_usr_cmpxchg; \ + \ + __asm__ volatile ( \ + ARC_TRAP_INSN \ + : "+r" (__ret) \ + : "r"(_sys_num), "r"(__ret), "r"(__a1), "r"(__a2) \ + : "memory", "cc"); \ + \ + /* syscall returns previous value */ \ + /* Z bit is set if cmpxchg succeeded (we don't use that yet) */ \ + \ + (__typeof(oldval)) __ret; \ + }) + +#endif /* Store NEWVALUE in *MEM and return the old value.
