23 /* CONCURRENCTY NOTES:
24
25 The atomic_exchange_rel synchronizes-with the atomic_exhange_acq in
26 pthread_spin_lock.
27
28 On hppa we must not use a plain `stw` to reset the guard lock. This
29 has to do with the kernel compare-and-swap helper that is used to
30 implement all of the atomic operations.
31
32 The kernel CAS helper uses its own internal locks and that means that
33 to create a true happens-before relationship between any two threads,
34 the second thread must observe the internal lock having a value of 0
35 (it must attempt to take the lock with ldcw). This creates the
36 ordering required for a second thread to observe the effects of the
37 RMW of the kernel CAS helper in any other thread.
38
39 Therefore if a variable is used in an atomic macro it must always be
40 manipulated with atomic macros in order for memory ordering rules to
41 be preserved. */
