[PATCH] ARM: lockref: add support for lockless lockrefs using cmpxchg64

Will Deacon will.deacon at arm.com
Tue Sep 24 11:49:02 EDT 2013


Our spinlocks are only 32-bit (2x16-bit tickets) and, on processors
with 64-bit atomic instructions, cmpxchg64 makes use of the double-word
exclusive accessors.

This patch wires up the cmpxchg-based lockless lockref implementation
for ARM.
