40 ! atomic compare-and-swap routines for V9 (ultrasparc)
42 ! ======================================================================
44 ! Perform the sequence *a = b atomically with respect to previous value
45 ! of a (a0). If *a==a0 then assign *a to b, all in one atomic operation.
46 ! Returns 1 if assignment happened, and 0 otherwise.
48 ! usage : old_val = compare_and_swap(address, oldval, newval)
50 ! -----------------------
51 ! Note on REGISTER USAGE:
52 ! as this is a LEAF procedure, a new stack frame is not created;
53 ! we use the caller stack frame so what would normally be %i (input)
54 ! registers are actually %o (output registers). Also, we must not
55 ! overwrite the contents of %l (local) registers as they are not
56 ! assumed to be volatile during calls.
58 ! So, the registers used are:
59 ! %o0 [input] - the address of the value to increment
60 ! %o1 [input] - the old value to compare with
61 ! %o2 [input] - the new value to set for [%o0]
62 ! %o3 [local] - work register
63 ! -----------------------
64 ! ======================================================================
68 .inline NativeCompareAndSwap,3
71 casx [%o0],%o1,%o2 ! compare *w with old value and set to new if equal
72 cmp %o1,%o2 ! did we succeed?
74 mov 1,%o0 ! return true (annulled when no jump)
75 mov 0,%o0 ! return false
