[PATCH v2 1/5] arm64: Convert pte handling from inline asm to using (cmp)xchg

Fri Aug 18 10:25:58 PDT 2017


With the support for hardware updates of the access and dirty states,
the following pte handling functions had to be implemented using
exclusives: __ptep_test_and_clear_young(), ptep_get_and_clear(),
ptep_set_wrprotect() and ptep_set_access_flags(). To take advantage of
the LSE atomic instructions and also make the code cleaner, convert
these pte functions to use the more generic cmpxchg()/xchg().
