+Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/1] Support architectures with limited atomic support
+
+Due to hardware limitations not all architectures can generate code for
+the __sync_[add|sub]_and_fetch functions.
+
+Newer versions of gcc have newer atomic builtins, and a helper library
+for cases when the compiler cannot generate code for the builtins.
+However using these would break backwards compatibility with older
+versions. Instead it was decided to use a simple mutex for the fallback
+case.
+
+This patch adds logic to detect the required support using autoconf,
+and supplies the alternative implementation using mutexes which is used
+if the atomic functions are not present.
+
+Note that the autoconf check assumes that __sync_add_and_fetch implies
+the presence of __sync_sub_and_fetch.
+
+Upstream-status: pending
