Hi Roger,

The logic for Arm64 and Arm32 looks good to me. I just have one question
below.

To x86 and Arm. This performs an atomic AND operation against an

All the atomic helpers have taken a signed int so far because the counter is
an int. Any reason to diverge from that?

Since this is not an arithmetic operation I felt unsigned int was a
more suitable type to describe a bitmask: it felt weird to pass a
bitmask with type int, because signedness doesn't make sense when
referring to a mask.

At some point I would like to have macro generating all the atomics in on Arm in the same way a Linux (see asm-generic/atomic.h). This is to avoid duplication and make easy to introduce Armv8.1 LSE atomics. So I would like to avoid introducing difference in the prototype unless it is stricly necessary.

Cheers,
