Atomics present the same issue with locking: release and acquire
variants need to be strengthened to meet the constraints defined
by the Linux-kernel memory consistency model [1].
Atomics present a further issue: implementations of atomics such
as atomic_cmpxchg() and atomic_add_unless() rely on LR/SC pairs,
which do not give full-ordering with .aqrl; for example, current
implementations allow the "lr-sc-aqrl-pair-vs-full-barrier" test
below to end up with the state indicated in the "exists" clause.
In order to "synchronize" LKMM and RISC-V's implementation, this
commit strengthens the implementations of the atomics operations
by replacing .rl and .aq with the use of ("lightweigth") fences,
and by replacing .aqrl LR/SC pairs in sequences such as:
0: lr.w.aqrl %0, %addr
bne %0, %old, 1f
...
sc.w.aqrl %1, %new, %addr
bnez %1, 0b
1:
with sequences of the form:
0: lr.w %0, %addr
bne %0, %old, 1f
...
sc.w.rl %1, %new, %addr /* SC-release */
bnez %1, 0b
fence rw, rw /* "full" fence */
1:
following Daniel's suggestion.
These modifications were validated with simulation of the RISC-V
memory consistency model.
