Hi,

Going on Richard's advice, I've tried to write an alpha futex
implementation based on the powerpc futex.h.

I've gotten this far.. :\

#define __futex_atomic_op(insn, ret, oldval, uaddr, oparg) \
    __asm__ __volatile(             \
    "1: ldl_l   %0,%2\n"            \
        insn                        \
    /* something needs to happen here
     * to save result of insn across
     * stl_c? */
    "   stl_c   %1,%2\n"            \
    "   beq     %1,2f\n"            \
    "   mb\n"                       \
    /* something needs to happen here
     * for the ret */
    "   .subsection 2\n"            \
    "2: br      1b\n"               \
    "   .previous\n"                \
    : "=&r" (oldval), "=&r" (ret)   \
    : "b" (uaddr) \
    : "memory")

Could someone take a look and help finish it?

For futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic, I think Ivan's DRM_CAS
implementation can be used with only trivial changes. See
