bpf: Add instructions for atomic_[cmp]xchg
This adds two atomic opcodes, both of which include the BPF_FETCH flag. XCHG without the BPF_FETCH flag would naturally encode atomic_set. This is not supported because it would be of limited value to userspace (it doesn't imply any barriers). CMPXCHG without BPF_FETCH woulud be an atomic compare-and-write. We don't have such an operation in the kernel so it isn't provided to BPF either. There are two significant design decisions made for the CMPXCHG instruction: - To solve the issue that this operation fundamentally has 3 operands, but we only have two register fields. Therefore the operand we compare against (the kernel's API calls it 'old') is hard-coded to be R0. x86 has similar design (and A64 doesn't have this problem). A potential alternative might be to encode the other operand's register number in the immediate field. - The kernel's atomic_cmpxchg returns the old value, while the C11 userspace APIs return a boolean indicating the comparison result. Which should BPF do? A64 returns the old value. x86 returns the old value in the hard-coded register (and also sets a flag). That means return-old-value is easier to JIT, so that's what we use.
