Subject: [PATCH 2/5] sh: Emulate two-byte cmpxchg
Date: Wed, 7 Oct 2026 13:36:33 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261007203636.1982188-2-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <7f398d4a-7fae-4382-9cc4-8627e8aa912b@paulmck-laptop>
From: Bradley Morgan <brads@mainlining.org>
SH has no byte or halfword atomic memory operations, so the __cmpxchg()
switch routes case 1 through cmpxchg_emu_u8() and lets case 2 fall
through to __cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer(), which is declared but
never defined, so a two-byte cmpxchg() fails at link time. Route case
2 through the new cmpxchg_emu_u16(), which takes the old and new
values as unsigned long, so the (unsigned long) casts move off the
call and into _old_ and _new_ declarations that type check the old
and new arguments against *ptr through (unsigned long)(0 ? *ptr : _o_),
the idiom David Laight suggested, so cmpxchg(&p, 4, 5) no longer
compiles silently.
