> This patch addresses x86-64 only; other architectures can/will be supported
> in the future. The __atomic intrinsic was considered for the implementation,
> however libatomic was found[1] to use locks to implement the 128-bit CAS on at
> least one architecture and so is eschewed here. The interface is modeled after
> the __atomic_compare_exchange_16 (which itself is based on the C++11 memory
> model) to best support weak consistency architectures.
> 
> This patch was originally part of a series that introduces a non-blocking stack
> mempool handler[2], and is required by a non-blocking ring patchset. This
> patch was spun off so that the the NB ring depends only on this patch
> and not on the entire non-blocking stack patchset.

> v6:
> - Use @code and @endcode to clean up pseudo-code generation
> - Add note that the function is currently limited to x86-64
> 
> v5:
>  - Move declaration in the generic file for doxygen only (Thomas)

> v4:
>  - Move function declaration from generic/rte_atomic.h to x86-64 header file
> 
> v3:
>  - Rename function to ISA-neutral rte_atomic128_cmp_exchange()
>  - Fix two pseudocode bugs in function documentation
> 
> v2:
>  - Rename function to rte_atomic128_cmpxchg()
>  - Replace "=A" output constraint with "=a" and "=d" to prevent GCC from using
>    the al register for the sete destination
>  - Extend 'weak' definition to allow non-atomic 'exp' updates.
>  - Add const keyword to 'src' and remove volatile keyword from 'dst'
>  - Put __int128 in a union in rte_int128_t and move the structure definition
>    inside the RTE_ARCH_x86_64 ifdef
>  - Drop enum rte_atomic_memmodel_t in favor of compiler-defined __ATOMIC_*
>  - Drop unnecessary comment relating to X86_64
>  - Tweak the pseudocode to reflect the 'exp' update on failure.
