llvm change [1] made a change such that __sync_fetch_and_{and,or,xor}()
will generate atomic_fetch_*() insns even if the return value is not used.
This is a deliberate choice to make sure barrier semantics are preserved
from source code to asm insn.
But the change in [1] caused arena_atomics selftest failure.

The reason of the failure is due to [2] where atomic{64,}_fetch_{and,or,xor}() are not
allowed by arena addresses.
Version 2 of the patch fixed the issue by using inline asm ([3]). But further discussion
suggested to find a way from source to generate locked insn which is more user
friendly. So in not-merged llvm patch ([4]), if relax memory ordering is used and
the return value is not used, locked insn could be generated.
So with llvm patch [4] to compile the bpf selftest, the following code
__c11_atomic_fetch_and(&and64_value, 0x011ull << 32, memory_order_relaxed);
is able to generate locked insn, hence fixing the selftest failure.

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 reStructuredText 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.
