Indeed!

The bit I missed previously is that PowerPC provides its own __atomic_op_release() 
method:

   #define __atomic_op_release(op, args...)                                \
   ({                                                                      \
           __asm__ __volatile__(PPC_RELEASE_BARRIER "" : : : "memory");    \
           op##_relaxed(args);                                             \
   })

... which maps to LWSYNC as you say, and my patch made that worse.

Correct, although the new logic is still RFC, PeterZ didn't like the first version 
I proposed and might NAK them.

Thanks for the patch - I have created the patch below from it and added your 
Signed-off-by.

The only change I made beyond a trivial build fix is that I also added the release 
atomics variants explicitly:

+#define atomic_cmpxchg_release(v, o, n) \
+	cmpxchg_release(&((v)->counter), (o), (n))
+#define atomic64_cmpxchg_release(v, o, n) \
+	cmpxchg_release(&((v)->counter), (o), (n))

It has passed a PowerPC cross-build test here, but no runtime tests.

Does this patch look good to you?

(Still subject to PeterZ's Ack/NAK.)

Thanks,

	Ingo

Subject: [PATCH] locking/atomics/powerpc: Move cmpxchg helpers to asm/cmpxchg.h and define the full set of cmpxchg APIs

Move PowerPC's __op_{acqurie,release}() from atomic.h to
cmpxchg.h (in arch/powerpc/include/asm), plus use them to
define these two methods:

	#define cmpxchg_release __op_release(cmpxchg, __VA_ARGS__);
	#define cmpxchg64_release __op_release(cmpxchg64, __VA_ARGS__);

... the idea is to generate all these methods in cmpxchg.h and to define the full
array of atomic primitives, including the cmpxchg_release() methods which were
defined by the generic code before.

Also define the atomic[64]_() variants explicitly.

This ensures that all these low level cmpxchg APIs are defined in
PowerPC headers, with no generic header fallbacks.

No change in functionality or code generation.
