Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] riscv: enable lockless lockref implementation

This series selects ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF to enable the
cmpxchg-based lockless lockref implementation for riscv. Then,
implement arch_cmpxchg64_{relaxed|acquire|release}.

After patch1:
Using Linus' test case[1] on TH1520 platform, I see a 11.2% improvement.
On JH7110 platform, I see 12.0% improvement.

After patch2:
on both TH1520 and JH7110 platforms, I didn't see obvious
performance improvement with Linus' test case [1]. IMHO, this may
be related with the fence and lr.d/sc.d hw implementations. In theory,
lr/sc without fence could give performance improvement over lr/sc plus
fence, so add the code here to leave performance improvement room on
newer HW platforms.

Since v1:
- only select ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF if 64BIT

Jisheng Zhang (2):
riscv: select ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF
riscv: cmpxchg: implement arch_cmpxchg64_{relaxed|acquire|release}

Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] riscv: cmpxchg: implement arch_cmpxchg64_{relaxed|acquire|release}

After selecting ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF, one straight futher
optimization is implementing the arch_cmpxchg64_relaxed() because the
lockref code does not need the cmpxchg to have barrier semantics. At
the same time, implement arch_cmpxchg64_acquire and
arch_cmpxchg64_release as well.

However, on both TH1520 and JH7110 platforms, I didn't see obvious
performance improvement with Linus' test case [1]. IMHO, this may
be related with the fence and lr.d/sc.d hw implementations. In theory,
lr/sc without fence could give performance improvement over lr/sc plus
fence, so add the code here to leave performance improvement room on
newer HW platforms.

Hi Palmer,

this series is also missed, let me know if there's something need to be
done.

Thanks
