2017-03-03	tools include: Provide gcc based cmpxchg fallback for !x86	Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
	We've been using an atomic_t implementation subset based on the gcc builtin functions for a while, now, with refcount.h we need cmpxchg(), use gcc's __sync_val_compare_and_swap() for that.

2015-05-08	tools include: Add basic atomic.h implementation from the kernel sources	Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
	Uses the arch/x86/ kernel code for x86_64/i386, fallbacking to a gcc intrinsics implementation that has been tested in at least sparc64. Will be used for reference counting in tools/perf.
