[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 1/3] rwlock: reimplement with atomic builtins

[Joyce Kong <joyce.kong@arm.com>]

The __sync builtin based implementation generates full memory
barriers ('dmb ish') on Arm platforms. Using C11 atomic builtins
to generate one way barriers.

Here is the assembly code of __sync_compare_and_swap builtin.
__sync_bool_compare_and_swap(dst, exp, src);
