On hppa we must not use a plain `stw` to reset the guard lock. This has to do with the kernel compare-and-swap helper that is used to implement all of the atomic operations. The kernel CAS helper uses its own internal locks and that means that to create a true happens-before relationship between any two threads, the second thread must observe the internal lock having a value of 0 (it must attempt to take the lock with ldcw). This creates the ordering required for a second thread to observe the effects of the RMW of the kernel CAS helper in any other thread. Therefore if a variable is used in an atomic macro it must always be manipulated with atomic macros in order for memory ordering rules to be preserved. */ atomic_exchange_rel (lock, 0); return 0; }
