To minimize repetition, to allow for future rework, and to ensure
regularity of the various atomic APIs, we'd like to automatically
generate (the bulk of) a number of headers related to atomics.
This patch adds the infrastructure to do so, leaving actual conversion
of headers to subsequent patches. This infrastructure consists of:
* atomics.tbl - a table describing the functions in the atomics API,
with names, prototypes, and metadata describing the variants that
exist (e.g fetch/return, acquire/release/relaxed). Note that the
return type is dependent on the particular variant.
* atomic-tbl.sh - a library of routines useful for dealing with
atomics.tbl (e.g. querying which variants exist, or generating
argument/parameter lists for a given function variant).
* gen-atomic-fallback.sh - a script which generates a header of
fallbacks, covering cases where architecture omit certain functions
(e.g. omitting relaxed variants).
* gen-atomic-long.sh - a script which generates wrappers providing the
atomic_long API atomic of the relevant atomic or atomic64 API,
ensuring the APIs are consistent.
* gen-atomic-instrumented.sh - a script which generates atomic* wrappers
atop of arch_atomic* functions, with automatically generated KASAN
instrumentation.
* fallbacks/* - a set of fallback implementations for atomics, which
should be used when no implementation of a given atomic is provided.
These are used by gen-atomic-fallback.sh to generate fallbacks, and
these are also used by other scripts to determine the set of optional
atomics (as required to generate preprocessor guards correctly).
Fallbacks may use the following variables:
${atomic} atomic prefix: atomic/atomic64/atomic_long, which can be
used to derive the atomic type, and to prefix functions
${int} integer type: int/s64/long
${pfx} variant prefix, e.g. fetch_
${name} base function name, e.g. add
${sfx} variant suffix, e.g. _return
${order} order suffix, e.g. _relaxed
${atomicname} full name, e.g. atomic64_fetch_add_relaxed
${ret} return type of the function, e.g. void
${retstmt} a return statement (with a trailing space), unless the
variant returns void
${params} parameter list for the function declaration, e.g.
"int i, atomic_t *v"
${args} argument list for invoking the function, e.g. "i, v"
... for clarity, ${ret}, ${retstmt}, ${params}, and ${args} are
open-coded for fallbacks where these do not vary, or are critical to
understanding the logic of the fallback.
The MAINTAINERS entry for the atomic infrastructure is updated to cover
the new scripts.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
