2017-11-03Update MIPS email addressesPaul Burton1-1/+1
MIPS will soon not be a part of Imagination Technologies, and as such many @imgtec.com email addresses will no longer be valid. This patch updates the addresses for those who: - Have 10 or more patches in mainline authored using an @imgtec.com email address, or any patches dated within the past year. - Are still with Imagination but leaving as part of the MIPS business unit, as determined from an internal email address list. - Haven't already updated their email address (ie. JamesH) or expressed a desire to be excluded (ie. Maciej). - Acked v2 or earlier of this patch, which leaves Deng-Cheng, Matt & myself. New addresses are of the form firstname.lastname@mips.com, and all verified against an internal email address list. An entry is added to .mailmap for each person such that get_maintainer.pl will report the new addresses rather than @imgtec.com addresses which will soon be dead. Instances of the affected addresses throughout the tree are then mechanically replaced with the new @mips.com address.

2017-06-29MIPS: cmpxchg: Implement 1 byte & 2 byte cmpxchg()Paul Burton1-0/+57
Implement support for 1 & 2 byte cmpxchg() using read-modify-write atop a 4 byte cmpxchg(). This allows us to support these atomic operations despite the MIPS ISA only providing 4 & 8 byte atomic operations. This is required in order to support queued rwlocks (qrwlock) in a later patch, since these make use of a 1 byte cmpxchg() in their slow path.

2017-06-29MIPS: cmpxchg: Implement 1 byte & 2 byte xchg()Paul Burton1-0/+52
Implement 1 & 2 byte xchg() using read-modify-write atop a 4 byte cmpxchg(). This allows us to support these atomic operations despite the MIPS ISA only providing for 4 & 8 byte atomic operations. This is required in order to support queued spinlocks (qspinlock) in a later patch, since these make use of a 2 byte xchg() in their slow path.
