They provide relaxed-ordered atomic access semantic. Due to the
FreeBSD memory model, the operations are syntaxical wrappers around
the volatile accesses. The volatile qualifier is used to ensure that
the access not optimized out and in turn depends on the volatile
semantic as implemented by supported compilers.
The motivation for adding the operation is to help people coming from
other systems or knowing the C11/C++ standards where atomics have
special type and require use of the special access operations. It is
still the case that FreeBSD requires plain load and stores of aligned
integer types to be atomic.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification

opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
in place. To do per-cpu stats, convert all fields that previously were
maintained in the vmmeters that sit in pcpus to counter(9).
- Since some vmmeter stats may be touched at very early stages of boot,
before we have set up UMA and we can do counter_u64_alloc(), provide an
early counter mechanism:
o Leave one spare uint64_t in struct pcpu, named pc_early_dummy_counter.
o Point counter(9) fields of vmmeter to pcpu[0].pc_early_dummy_counter,
so that at early stages of boot, before counters are allocated we already
point to a counter that can be safely written to.
o For sparc64 that required a whole dummy pcpu[MAXCPU] array.
Further related changes:
- Don't include vmmeter.h into pcpu.h.
- vm.stats.vm.v_swappgsout and vm.stats.vm.v_swappgsin changed to 64-bit,
to match kernel representation.
- struct vmmeter hidden under _KERNEL, and only vmstat(1) is an exclusion.

atomic_thread_fence_acq() gives r | r, w, where r and w are read and
write accesses, and | denotes the fence itself.
atomic_thread_fence_rel() is r, w | w.
atomic_thread_fence_acq_rel() is the combination of the acquire and
release in single operation. Note that reads after the acq+rel fence
could be made visible before writes preceeding the fence.
atomic_thread_fence_seq_cst() orders all accesses before/after the
fence, and the fence itself is globally ordered against other

atomic_load_acq(9), on it source, for x86.
Right now, atomic_load_acq() on x86 is sequentially consistent with
other atomics, code ensures this by doing store/load barrier by
performing locked nop on the source. Provide separate primitive
__storeload_barrier(), which is implemented as the locked nop done on
a cpu-private variable, and put __storeload_barrier() before load, to
keep seq_cst semantic but avoid introducing false dependency on the
no-modification of the source for its later use.
Note that seq_cst property of x86 atomic_load_acq() is not documented
and not carried by atomics implementations on other architectures,
although some kernel code relies on the behaviour. This commit does
not intend to change this.

Right now, however, FreeBSD is bound mostly to GCC-like compilers and
it is desired to add new support and compat shim mostly when there is

In this optic, bring back atomic_cmpset_{acq, rel}_* to be the same as

memory barriers should also ensure that the compiler doesn't reorder paths
where they are used. GCC, however, does that aggressively, even in
presence of volatile operands. The most reliable way GCC offers for avoid
instructions reordering is clobbering "memory" even if that is
theoretically an heavy-weight operation, flushing the content of all
the registers and forcing reload of them (We could rely, however, on
gcc DTRT by just understanding the purpose as this is a well-known
pattern for many modern operating-systems).
Not all our memory barriers, right now, clobber memory for GCC-like
compilers. The most notable cases are IA32 and amd64 where the memory
barrier are treacted the same as normal atomic instructions.
Fix this by offering the possibility to implement atomic instructions
with memory barriers separately from the normal version and implement
the GCC-like specific one using memory clobbering.

MPLOCKED. The cleaning in rev.1.25 was supposed to have been undone
by rev.1.26, but 1.26 could never have actually affected asm files
since atomic.h is full of C declarations so including it in asm files
would just give syntax errors. The asm MPLOCKED is even less needed
than when misplaced definitions of it were first removed, and is now
unused in any asm file in the src tree except in anachronismns in
sys/i386/i386/support.s.
These functions are used a lot for mutexes, so this reduces the text
size of an average kernel by about 0.75%. This wasn't intended to
be a significant optimization, but it somehow increased the maximum
number of packets per second that can be transmitted by my bge hardware
from 320000 to 460000 (this benchmark is CPU-bound and remarkably
sensitive to changes in the text section).
Details: we would prefer to leave the result of the cmpxchg in %al,
but cannot tell gcc that it is there, so we have to convert it to an
integer register. We converted to %al, then to %[re]ax, but the
latter step is usually wasted since gcc usually only wants the condition
code and can recover it from %al just as easily as from %[re]ax. Let
gcc promote %al in the few cases where this is needed.
Nearby style fixes;
- let gcc manage the load of `res', and don't abuse `res' for a copy of `exp'
- don't echo `res's name in comments
- consistently spell the condition code as 'e' after comparison for equality
- don't hard-code %al anywhere except in constraints
- for the version that doesn't use cmpxchg, there is no requirement to use
%al anywhere, so don't hard-code it in the constraints either.
Style non-fix:
- for the versions that use cmpxchg, keep using "a" (was %[re]ax, now %al)
for the main output operand, although this is not required. The input
and output operands that use the "a" constraint are now decoupled, and
this makes things clearer except for the reason that the output register
is hard-coded. It is now just a hack to tell gcc that the input "a" has
been clobbered without increasing the number of operands.
