Thanks. Overall looks good to me but I did not check carefully
on jit part as I am not an expert in x64 assembly...
This patch also introduced atomic[64]_{sub,and,or,xor}, similar to
xadd. I am not sure whether it is necessary. For one thing,
users can just use atomic[64]_fetch_{sub,and,or,xor} to ignore
return value and they will achieve the same result, right?
From llvm side, there is no ready-to-use gcc builtin matching
atomic[64]_{sub,and,or,xor} which does not have return values.
If we go this route, we will need to invent additional bpf
specific builtins.
