Currently each ordering variant has several potential definitions,
with a mixture of preprocessor and C definitions, including several
copies of its C prototype, e.g.
| #if defined(arch_atomic_fetch_andnot_acquire)
| #define raw_atomic_fetch_andnot_acquire arch_atomic_fetch_andnot_acquire
| #elif defined(arch_atomic_fetch_andnot_relaxed)
| static __always_inline int
| raw_atomic_fetch_andnot_acquire(int i, atomic_t *v)
| {
| int ret = arch_atomic_fetch_andnot_relaxed(i, v);
| __atomic_acquire_fence();
| return ret;
| }
| #elif defined(arch_atomic_fetch_andnot)
| #define raw_atomic_fetch_andnot_acquire arch_atomic_fetch_andnot
| #else
| static __always_inline int
| raw_atomic_fetch_andnot_acquire(int i, atomic_t *v)
| {
| return raw_atomic_fetch_and_acquire(~i, v);
| }
| #endif
Make this a bit simpler by defining the C prototype once, and writing
the various potential definitions as plain C code guarded by ifdeffery.
For example, the above becomes:
| static __always_inline int
| raw_atomic_fetch_andnot_acquire(int i, atomic_t *v)
| {
| #if defined(arch_atomic_fetch_andnot_acquire)
| return arch_atomic_fetch_andnot_acquire(i, v);
| #elif defined(arch_atomic_fetch_andnot_relaxed)
| int ret = arch_atomic_fetch_andnot_relaxed(i, v);
| __atomic_acquire_fence();
| return ret;
| #elif defined(arch_atomic_fetch_andnot)
| return arch_atomic_fetch_andnot(i, v);
| #else
| return raw_atomic_fetch_and_acquire(~i, v);
| #endif
| }
Which is far easier to read. As we now always have a single copy of the
C prototype wrapping all the potential definitions, we now have an
obvious single location for kerneldoc comments.
At the same time, the fallbacks for raw_atomic*_xhcg() are made to use
'new' rather than 'i' as the name of the new value. This is what the
existing fallback template used, and is more consistent with the
raw_atomic{_try,}cmpxchg() fallbacks.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

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.
