Cover letter [LTP] [RFC PATCH 0/2] Allow to compile on archs without atomic support
Hi Jan,
thanks for your comments.

I know as this has quite low priority (benefit only people with old compilers and archs), but why not to give a chance them to have at least something from LTP?
Compiler shouldn't matter, we have fallbacks.
So I assume this concerns only some architectures we currently don't support.
Yes.

Quite a lot of tests it's working, affected are only tests using threads on new API or fuzzy synchronization and counting results for tests using new api.
What if we made general implementation with some locking? It would be slower, but I think we don't use atomics that much for it to matter.
Makes sense. I'll implement it.
