Would it be possible for this patch and the others Kyrylo has recently done
for the new ARMv8 AArch32 instructions to be backported to 4.8?
In particular I'm refering to:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-03/msg00994.html (trunk r197052)
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-03/msg00874.html (trunk r197051)
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-03/msg00873.html (trunk r197046)
Those seem to be new features and not regression fixes and thus are
not appropriate for a release branch.
Not all of them really,
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-03/msg00652.html is really a
target bug fix which causes mild annoyance once a while. I do believe
that Kyryll was looking at proposing a backport of this patch (and there
is a bugzilla entry for this one.)
I am sympathetic to the new atomics for v8-a and I've heard atleast one
request for it privately (i.e. this one
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-03/msg00874.html) but I'd defer
to the RM's on that one.
