2014-10-10	add explicit barrier operation to internal atomic.h API	Rich Felker	1	-1/+3

2014-08-25	add working a_spin() atomic for non-x86 targets	Rich Felker	1	-0/+1
	conceptually, a_spin needs to be at least a compiler barrier, so the compiler will not optimize out loops (and the load on each iteration) while spinning. it should also be a memory barrier, or the spinning thread might keep spinning without noticing stores from other threads, thus delaying for longer than it should. ideally, an optimal a_spin implementation that avoids unnecessary cache/memory contention should be chosen for each arch, but for now, the easiest thing is to perform a useless a_cas on the calling thread's stack.
2014-07-27	clean up unused and inconsistent atomics in arch dirs	Rich Felker	1	-6/+0
	the a_cas_l, a_swap_l, a_swap_p, and a_store_l operations were probably used a long time ago when only i386 and x86_64 were supported. as other archs were added, support for them was inconsistent, and they are obviously not in use at present. having them around potentially confuses readers working on new ports, and the type-punning hacks and inconsistent use of types in their definitions is not a style I wish to perpetuate in the source tree, so removing them seems appropriate.
2014-07-19	fix missing barriers in powerpc atomic store	Rich Felker	1	-1/+5

2014-07-19	fix missing barrier instructions in powerpc atomic asm	Rich Felker	1	-1/+4

2014-07-19	fix build breakage from ppc asm constraints change	Rich Felker	1	-3/+3
	due to a mistake in my testing procedure, the changes in the previous commit were not correctly tested and wrongly assumed to be valid. the lwarx and stwcx. instructions do not accept general ppc memory address expressions and thus the argument associated with the memory constraint cannot be used directly. instead, the memory constraint can be left as an argument that the asm does not actually use, and the address can be provided in a separate register constraint.
2014-07-19	fix broken constraints for powerpc atomic cas asm	Rich Felker	1	-1/+1
	the register constraint for the address to be accessed did not convey that the asm can access the pointed-to object. as far as the compiler could tell, the result of the asm was just a pure function of the address and the values passed in, and thus the asm could be hoisted out of loops or omitted entirely if the result was not used.
2013-08-11	add missing a_or_l to atomic.h for non-x86 archs	Rich Felker	1	-0/+5
	this is needed for recently committed sigaction code
2012-11-14	fix powerpc atomic compare-and-swap function	Rich Felker	1	-6/+7
	previous version did not compare at all; it was just a fancy atomic write. untested. further atomic fixes may be needed.
2012-11-14	update ppc atomic code to match the endian-agnostic version on other archs	Rich Felker	1	-14/+6

2012-11-13	PPC port cleaned up, static linking works well now.	rofl0r	1	-0/+124
