The boot-time detection of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() has a bug on some 32-bit arm builds, and Thomas Gleixner suggested that setting CONFIG_HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG would avoid the problem, as it is always present anyway. Looking into which other architectures could do the same showed that almost all architectures have it, the exceptions being: - some old 32-bit MIPS uniprocessor cores without ll/sc - one xtensa variant with no SMP - 32-bit SPARC when built for SMP Fix MIPS And Xtensa by rearranging the generic code to let it be used as a fallback. For SPARC, the SMP definition just ends up turning off futex anyway, so this can be done at Kconfig time instead. Note that sparc32 glibc requires the CASA instruction for its mutexes anyway, which is only available when running on SPARCv9 or LEON CPUs, but needs to be implemented in the sparc32 kernel for those.

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.
