Firstly, Loongson-2EF support ll/sc instructions, but
doesn't need fix-loongson3-llsc compile option.
Secondly, fix-loongson3-llsc will cause kernel startup
fail at futex_init, because compiler will add 'sync' before
'll', which will affect __ex_table.
futex_init will pass NULL uaddr parameter to
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic.
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic will access uaddr directly,
which will cause page fault exception, the exception should be
handled by __ex_table's nextinsn if the exception insn exsit in
__ex_table. Because __ex_table is affected by compiler,
the exception can not be handled, and
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic will crash.
Error code as below:
__ex_table.insn = 1b, which is 'sync' compiled with
fix-loongson3-llsc, but the actual exception instrction is ll.
So, do_page_fault will not find the correct inst in __ex_table, and
can not handle this exception.

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.
