While studying riscv's cmpxchg.h file, I got really interested in
understanding how RISCV asm implemented the different versions of
{cmp,}xchg.

When I understood the pattern, it made sense for me to remove the
duplications and create macros to make it easier to understand what exactly
changes between the versions: Instruction sufixes & barriers.

Thanks!
Leo

Changes since RFCv3:
- Squashed the 6 original patches in 2: one for cmpxchg and one for xchg
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230404163741.2762165-1-leobras@redhat.com/

Changes since RFCv2:
- Fixed  macros that depend on having a local variable with a magic name
- Previous cast to (long) is now only applied on 4-bytes cmpxchg
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230321074249.2221674-1-leobras@redhat.com/

Changes since RFCv1:
- Fixed patch 4/6 suffix from 'w.aqrl' to '.w.aqrl', to avoid build error
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230318080059.1109286-1-leobras@redhat.com/

LGTM.  AFAICT, this would need to be rebased, cf. e.g.

  a8596dda1fbf7e ("arch: rename all internal names __xchg to __arch_xchg")

from the tip tree.

Thanks for the heads up!
I will update this and re-send!


And sorry about the delay :(
For some weird reason neither the cover letter, nor your message reached my
gmail, and just now looking at lore I could find your message.
