This patch adds two new LWS routines - lws_atomic_xchg and lws_atomic_store. These are simpler than the CAS routines. Currently, we use the CAS routines for atomic stores. This is inefficient since it requires both winning the spinlock and a successful CAS operation. Change has been tested on c8000 and rp3440. In v2, I moved the code to disble/enable page faults inside the spinlocks. Signed-off-by: John David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
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.
