[lttng-dev] RCU - Bugs in atomic operations for RISC-V with GCC

[Olivier Dion]

Hi all,

We recently have been informed that the implementation of atomic
operations in GCC for RISC-V have bugs in them [1].  However, the fixing
patches missed the 13.2 release and it does not seem that they have been
back-ported to other versions yet.

For this reasons, we concur that it was best to mark Userspace RCU as
broken for RISC-V when compiling with GCC.  However, it is still
possible to compile Userspace RCU for RISC-V with other toolchains such
as Clang.

Cheers,
Olivier
