* lightening/aarch64-cpu.c (SWPAL, CASAL): New instructions.
(swap_atomic, cas_atomic): Use better instructions if we have LSE.
* lightening/aarch64.c (get_hwcap, jit_get_cpu): Arrange to detect LSE
availability on GNU/Linux and Darwin.
Based on a patch by Tony Garnock-Jones. Thanks!
The existing calli / callr interface is for ABI calls. Sometimes though
you want to call some of your own code, just to get the current return
address. ARM's branch-and-link instructions are ideal for this but they
don't exist on x86; there we emulate them by adding corresponding
pop_link_register / push_link_register instructions that are no-ops on
ARM.
* lightening.h (FOR_EACH_INSTRUCTION): Add jit_jmpi_with_link,
pop_link_register, push_link_register.
* lightening/arm-cpu.c:
* lightening/x86-cpu.c:
* lightening/aarch64-cpu.c (jmpi_with_link, push_link_register)
(pop_link_register): Add implementations.
* lightening/arm.h:
* lightening/aarch64.h:
* lightening/x86.h (JIT_LR): New definition.
* tests/link-register.c: New test.
These operations emit the same code that GCC does for corresponding
operations under the sequential consistency memory model. It would be
possible to relax to acquire/release or something in the future.
This improves integration with other projects. Like for example Guile
already has files named jit.c and jit.h; it's easier to manage if
lightening uses its own file names.
