> As discussed in JBS all platforms (some tweaks to Zero are in progress) > actually do support `cx8` i.e. 64-bit compare-and-exchange, so we can strip > out the locked-based alternatives to using it and just add a guarantee that > it is true at runtime. And all platforms except some ARM variants set > `SUPPORTS_NATIVE_CX8`, so we can greatly simplify things. Summary of changes: > - `_supports_cx8` field is only needed when `SUPPORTS_NATIVE_CX8` is not > defined > - Assertions for `supports_cx8()` are removed > - Compiler predicates requiring `supports_cx8()` are removed > - Access backend is greatly simplified without the need for lock-based > alternative > - `java.util.concurrent.AtomicLongFieldUpdater` is simplified without the > need for a lock-based alternative > > I did consider moving all the ARM `kuser_helper` related code to be only > defined when `SUPPORTS_NATIVE_CX8` is not defined, but there was a > theoretical risk this could change the behaviour if ARMv7 binaries were run > on other ARM CPU's. I added a note to that effect in > vm_version_linux_arm32.cpp so the ARM port maintainers could clean this up > further if desired. > > Testing: > - All Oracle tiers 1-5 builds (which includes an ARMv7 build) > - GHA builds/tests > - Oracle tiers 1-3 sanity testing > > Zero changes coming in via > [JDK-8319777](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8319777) will be merged > when they arrive. > > Thanks.
