    locking/atomics: Add common header generation files · ace9bad4
    Mark Rutland authored
    To minimize repetition, to allow for future rework, and to ensure
    regularity of the various atomic APIs, we'd like to automatically
    generate (the bulk of) a number of headers related to atomics.
    
    This patch adds the infrastructure to do so, leaving actual conversion
    of headers to subsequent patches. This infrastructure consists of:
    
    * atomics.tbl - a table describing the functions in the atomics API,
      with names, prototypes, and metadata describing the variants that
      exist (e.g fetch/return, acquire/release/relaxed). Note that the
      return type is dependent on the particular variant.
    
    * atomic-tbl.sh - a library of routines useful for dealing with
      atomics.tbl (e.g. querying which variants exist, or generating
      argument/parameter lists for a given function variant).
    
    * gen-atomic-fallback.sh - a script which generates a header of
      fallbacks, covering cases where architecture omit certain functions
      (e.g. omitting relaxed variants).
    
    * gen-atomic-long.sh - a script which generates wrappers providing the
      atomic_long API atomic of the relevant atomic or atomic64 API,
      ensuring the APIs are consistent.
    
    * gen-atomic-instrumented.sh - a script which generates atomic* wrappers
      atop of arch_atomic* functions, with automatically generated KASAN
      instrumentation.
    
    * fallbacks/* - a set of fallback implementations for atomics, which
      should be used when no implementation of a given atomic is provided.
      These are used by gen-atomic-fallback.sh to generate fallbacks, and
      these are also used by other scripts to determine the set of optional
      atomics (as required to generate preprocessor guards correctly).
    
      Fallbacks may use the following variables:
    
      ${atomic}     atomic prefix: atomic/atomic64/atomic_long, which can be
    		used to derive the atomic type, and to prefix functions
    
      ${int}        integer type: int/s64/long
    
      ${pfx}        variant prefix, e.g. fetch_
    
      ${name}       base function name, e.g. add
    
      ${sfx}        variant suffix, e.g. _return
    
      ${order}      order suffix, e.g. _relaxed
    
      ${atomicname} full name, e.g. atomic64_fetch_add_relaxed
    
      ${ret}        return type of the function, e.g. void
    
      ${retstmt}    a return statement (with a trailing space), unless the
                    variant returns void
    
      ${params}     parameter list for the function declaration, e.g.
                    "int i, atomic_t *v"
    
      ${args}       argument list for invoking the function, e.g. "i, v"
    
      ... for clarity, ${ret}, ${retstmt}, ${params}, and ${args} are
      open-coded for fallbacks where these do not vary, or are critical to
      understanding the logic of the fallback.
    
    The MAINTAINERS entry for the atomic infrastructure is updated to cover
    the new scripts.
    
    There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
