* ARM: 5889/1: Add atomic64 routines for ARMv6k and above.Will Deacon2010-02-151-0/+228
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In preparation for perf-events support, ARM needs to support atomic64_t operations. v6k and above support the ldrexd and strexd instructions to do just that. This patch adds atomic64 support to the ARM architecture. v6k and above make use of new instructions whilst older cores fall back on the generic solution using spinlocks. If and when v7-M cores are supported by Linux, they will need to fall back on the spinlock implementation too.

* Clear the exclusive monitor when returning from an exceptionCatalin Marinas2009-09-181-19/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch adds a CLREX or dummy STREX to the exception return path. This is needed because several atomic/locking operations use a pair of LDREX/STREXEQ and the EQ condition may not always be satisfied. This would leave the exclusive monitor status set and may cause problems with atomic/locking operations in the interrupted code. With this patch, the atomic_set() operation can be a simple STR instruction (on SMP systems, the global exclusive monitor is cleared by STR anyway). Clearing the exclusive monitor during context switch is no longer needed as this is handled by the exception return path anyway.

* asm-generic: rename atomic.h to atomic-long.hArnd Bergmann2009-06-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | The existing asm-generic/atomic.h only defines the atomic_long type. This renames it to atomic-long.h so we have a place to add a truly generic atomic.h that can be used on all non-SMP systems.

* [ARM] barriers: improve xchg, bitops and atomic SMP barriersRussell King2009-05-281-9/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mathieu Desnoyers pointed out that the ARM barriers were lacking: - cmpxchg, xchg and atomic add return need memory barriers on architectures which can reorder the relative order in which memory read/writes can be seen between CPUs, which seems to include recent ARM architectures. Those barriers are currently missing on ARM. - test_and_xxx_bit were missing SMP barriers. So put these barriers in. Provide separate atomic_add/atomic_sub operations which do not require barriers.

* atomic_t: unify all arch definitionsMatthew Wilcox2009-01-061-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | The atomic_t type cannot currently be used in some header files because it would create an include loop with asm/atomic.h. Move the type definition to linux/types.h to break the loop.
