Now that all architectures provide arch_{atomic,atomic64}_*(), we can
build arch_atomic_long_*() atop these, which can be safely used in
noinstr code. The regular atomic_long_*() wrappers are built atop these,
as we do for {atomic,atomic64}_*() atop arch_{atomic,atomic64}_*().
We don't provide arch_* versions of the cond_read*() variants, as we
don't have arch_* versions of the underlying atomic/atomic64 functions
(nor the smp_cond_load*() helpers these are typically based on).
Note that the headers in this patch under include/linux/atomic/ are
generated by the scripts in scripts/atomic/.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
