case FUTEX_OP_SET:
__futex_atomic_op("mov %0,%1", ret, oldval, uaddr, oparg);
break;
case FUTEX_OP_ADD:
__futex_atomic_op("addl %0,%4,%1\n", ret, oldval, uaddr, oparg);
break;
case FUTEX_OP_OR:
__futex_atomic_op("or %0,%4,%1\n", ret, oldval, uaddr, oparg);
break;
case FUTEX_OP_ANDN:
__futex_atomic_op("andnot %0,%4,%1\n", ret, oldval, uaddr, oparg);
break;
case FUTEX_OP_XOR:
__futex_atomic_op("xor %0,%4,%1\n", ret, oldval, uaddr, oparg);
break;
default:
ret = -ENOSYS;
}
Also, there's a bug in the powerpc implementation. It appears that
oparg is clobbered, and if stwcx fails the operation will be repeated
with incorrect inputs.
