Pull cmpxchg updates from Paul McKenney:
"Provide one-byte and two-byte cmpxchg() support on sparc32, parisc,
and csky
This provides native one-byte and two-byte cmpxchg() support for
sparc32 and parisc, courtesy of Al Viro. This support is provided by
the same hashed-array-of-locks technique used for the other atomic
operations provided for these two platforms.
There is also emulated one-byte cmpxchg() support for csky using a new
cmpxchg_emu_u8() function that uses a four-byte cmpxchg() to emulate
the one-byte variant.
Similar patches for emulation of one-byte cmpxchg() for arc, sh, and
xtensa have not yet received maintainer acks, so they are slated for
the v6.11 merge window"
* tag 'cmpxchg.2024.05.11a' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu:
csky: Emulate one-byte cmpxchg
lib: Add one-byte emulation function
parisc: add u16 support to cmpxchg()
parisc: add missing export of __cmpxchg_u8()
parisc: unify implementations of __cmpxchg_u{8,32,64}
parisc: __cmpxchg_u32(): lift conversion into the callers
sparc32: add __cmpxchg_u{8,16}() and teach __cmpxchg() to handle those sizes
sparc32: unify __cmpxchg_u{32,64}
sparc32: make the first argument of __cmpxchg_u64() volatile u64 *
sparc32: make __cmpxchg_u32() return u32
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.
