[PATCH] mutex subsystem, add include/asm-arm/mutex.h
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
add the ARM version of mutex.h, which is optimized in assembly for
ARMv6, and uses the xchg implementation on pre-ARMv6.

* Attempting to lock a mutex on ARMv6+ can be done with a bastardized

* the defined semantics for our purpose, while being smaller and faster
* than a real atomic decrement or atomic swap. The idea is to attempt
* decrementing the lock value only once. If once decremented it isn't zero,
* or if its store-back fails due to a dispute on the exclusive store, we
* simply bail out immediately through the slow path where the lock will be
* reattempted until it succeeds.
