Linux 7.4 Adds CPU Emulation Support
1 min read
Linux 7.4 introduces a new emulation function for two-byte cmpxchg() support via the cmpxchgemuu16() function. This change benefits SH, ARC, CSKY, and Xtensa CPU ports within the kernel. However, systems lacking native two-byte store instructions may soon be phased out of Linux support.
