Hi,

The Userspace RCU library 0.4.4 (available at http://lttng.org/urcu) includes an
atomic operations fix for the 32-bit (and 64-bit) powerpc architectures, where
the 4-byte cmpxchg was using a cmpd rather than the appropriate cmpw
instruction.

It did cause illegal instruction faults on powerpc 32.

Thanks,

Mathieu
