2016-01-22	overhaul powerpc atomics for new atomics framework	Rich Felker	-14/+38
	previously powerpc had a_cas defined in terms of its native ll/sc style operations, but all other atomics were defined in terms of a_cas. instead define a_ll and a_sc so the compiler can generate optimized versions of all the atomic ops and perform better inlining of a_cas. extracting the result of the sc (stwcx.) instruction is rather awkward because it's natively stored in a condition flag, which is not representable in inline asm. but even with this limitation the new code still seems significantly better.
2016-01-21	refactor internal atomic.h	Rich Felker	-0/+15
	rather than having each arch provide its own atomic.h, there is a new shared atomic.h in src/internal which pulls arch-specific definitions from arc/$(ARCH)/atomic_arch.h. the latter can be extremely minimal, defining only a_cas or new ll/sc type primitives which the shared atomic.h will use to construct everything else. this commit avoids making heavy changes to the individual archs' atomic implementations. definitions which are identical or near-identical to what the new shared atomic.h would produce have been removed, but otherwise the changes made are just hooking up the arch-specific files to the new infrastructure. major changes to take advantage of the new system will come in subsequent commits.
