For power8 and aarch64, will need to bind to arch-specific headers rather than "gcc", but still use the generic atomic implementation.

powerpc 32/64 (except power8) is done.

For ia64, will need to create arch-specific header, and still use gcc generic atomics.

tile needs own arch-specific header, which use generic atomics.

arm system call has been pulled into Linux. Should be added to urcu.
Updated by Mathieu Desnoyers about 9 years ago
Architectures not yet available at kernel level but present in urcu: alpha, hppa, mips, sparc64.

MIPS syscalls are merged into mainline kernel, however since there are 3 mips ABIs, wiring them up in urcu is not straightforward and would require access to MIPS boards for testing.

Still missing: MIPS (there are about 3 ABIs, not trivial, need testing). alpha (syscall not wired in the kernel).

So only MIPS appears to be missing at this point, mostly because we don't have any test boards in our CI:
