2013-05-13	staging: add mausezahn staging directory	Daniel Borkmann	1	-0/+1344
	After some back and forth, we decided that it is easier to maintain mausezahn in a staging directory until it is fully reworked and cleaned up to be ready to be fully integrated. This way, it is better than having it in a separate branch, and we can also accept patches from outside more easily. Also, while at it, fix up some function mismatches with libcli.

ARC: syscall for userspace cmpxchg assist

Older ARC700 cores (ARC750 specifically) lack instructions to implement atomic r-w-w. This is problematic for userspace libraries such as NPTL which need atomic primitives. So enable them by providing kernel assist. This is costly but really the only sane soluton (othern than tight spinning using the otherwise availiable atomic exchange EX instruciton). Good thing is there are only a few of these cores running Linux out in the wild. This only works on UP systems.
