Currently the various ordering variants of an atomic operation are
defined in groups of full/acquire/release/relaxed ordering variants with
some shared ifdeffery and several potential definitions of each ordering
variant in different branches of the shared ifdeffery.
As an ordering variant can have several potential definitions down
different branches of the shared ifdeffery, it can be painful for a
human to find a relevant definition, and we don't have a good location
to place anything common to all definitions of an ordering variant (e.g.
kerneldoc).
Historically the grouping of full/acquire/release/relaxed ordering
variants was necessary as we filled in the missing atomics in the same
namespace as the architecture used. It would be easy to accidentally
define one ordering fallback in terms of another ordering fallback with
redundant barriers, and avoiding that would otherwise require a lot of
baroque ifdeffery.
With recent changes we no longer need to fill in the missing atomics in
the arch_atomic*_<op>() namespace, and only need to fill in the
raw_atomic*_<op>() namespace. Due to this, there's no risk of a
namespace collision, and we can define each raw_atomic*_<op> ordering
variant with its own ifdeffery checking for the arch_atomic*_<op>
ordering variants.
Restructure the fallbacks in this way, with each ordering variant having
its own ifdeffery of the form:
| #if defined(arch_atomic_fetch_andnot_acquire)
| #define raw_atomic_fetch_andnot_acquire arch_atomic_fetch_andnot_acquire
| #elif defined(arch_atomic_fetch_andnot_relaxed)
| static __always_inline int
| raw_atomic_fetch_andnot_acquire(int i, atomic_t *v)
| {
| int ret = arch_atomic_fetch_andnot_relaxed(i, v);
| __atomic_acquire_fence();
| return ret;
| }
| #elif defined(arch_atomic_fetch_andnot)
| #define raw_atomic_fetch_andnot_acquire arch_atomic_fetch_andnot
| #else
| static __always_inline int
| raw_atomic_fetch_andnot_acquire(int i, atomic_t *v)
| {
| return raw_atomic_fetch_and_acquire(~i, v);
| }
| #endif
Note that where there's no relevant arch_atomic*_<op>() ordering
variant, we'll define the operation in terms of a distinct
raw_atomic*_<otherop>(), as this itself might have been filled in with a
fallback.
As we now generate the raw_atomic*_<op>() implementations directly, we
no longer need the trivial wrappers, so they are removed.
This makes the ifdeffery easier to follow, and will allow for further
improvements in subsequent patches.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
