/*
* A handful of basic atomic operations. The appropriate pthread
* functions should be used instead of these whenever possible.
*
* The "acquire" and "release" terms can be defined intuitively in terms
* of the placement of memory barriers in a simple lock implementation:
* - wait until compare-and-swap(lock-is-free --> lock-is-held) succeeds
* - barrier
* - [do work]
* - barrier
* - store(lock-is-free)
* In very crude terms, the initial (acquire) barrier prevents any of the
* "work" from happening before the lock is held, and the later (release)
* barrier ensures that all of the work happens before the lock is released.
* (Think of cached writes, cache read-ahead, and instruction reordering
* around the CAS and store instructions.)
*
* The barriers must apply to both the compiler and the CPU. Note it is
* legal for instructions that occur before an "acquire" barrier to be
* moved down below it, and for instructions that occur after a "release"
* barrier to be moved up above it.
*
* The ARM-driven implementation we use here is short on subtlety,
* and actually requests a full barrier from the compiler and the CPU.
* The only difference between acquire and release is in whether they
* are issued before or after the atomic operation with which they
* are associated. To ease the transition to C/C++ atomic intrinsics,
* you should not rely on this, and instead assume that only the minimal
* acquire/release protection is provided.
*
* NOTE: all int32_t* values are expected to be aligned on 32-bit boundaries.
* If they are not, atomicity is not guaranteed.

/*
* Basic arithmetic and bitwise operations. These all provide a
* barrier with "release" ordering, and return the previous value.
*
* These have the same characteristics (e.g. what happens on overflow)
