Babu Moger a12ee23493 arch/sparc: Introduce cmpxchg_u8 SPARC
SPARC supports 32 bit and 64 bit cmpxchg right now. Add support
for 8 bit (1 byte) cmpxchg. This is required to support queued
rwlocks feature  which uses 1 byte cmpxchg.

The function __cmpxchg_u8 here uses the 4 byte cas instruction with a
byte manipulation to achieve 1 byte cmpxchg.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
