The core atomic code has a number of macros where it elaborates architecture primitives into more functions. ARC uses arch_atomic64_cmpxchg() as it's architecture primitive which disable alot of the additional functions. Instead provide arch_cmpxchg64_relaxed() as the primitive and rely on the core macros to create arch_cmpxchg64(). The macros will also provide other functions, for instance, try_cmpxchg64_release(), giving a more complete implementation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
