A simple implementation that only supports the word size and does not have a fallback mode (would require a spinlock). Add 32 and 64 bit support for cmpxchg_double. cmpxchg double uses the cmpxchg8b or cmpxchg16b instruction on x86 processors to compare and swap 2 machine words. This allows lockless algorithms to move more context information through critical sections. Set a flag CONFIG_CMPXCHG_DOUBLE to signal that support for double word cmpxchg detection has been build into the kernel. Note that each subsystem using cmpxchg_double has to implement a fall back mechanism as long as we offer support for processors that do not implement cmpxchg_double. Reviewed-by: H.
