Support atomics in bpf_arena that can be JITed as a single x86 instruction. Instructions that are JITed as loops are not supported at the moment, since they require more complex extable and loop logic. JITs can choose to do smarter things with bpf_jit_supports_insn(). Like arm64 may decide to support all bpf atomics instructions when emit_lse_atomic is available and none in ll_sc mode. bpf_jit_supports_percpu_insn(), bpf_jit_supports_ptr_xchg() and other such callbacks can be replaced with bpf_jit_supports_insn() in the future.

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.
