Before llvm20, (void)__sync_fetch_and_add(...) always generates locked xadd insns. In linux kernel upstream discussion [1], it is found that for arm64 architecture, the original semantics of (void)__sync_fetch_and_add(...), i.e., __atomic_fetch_add(...), is preferred in order for jit to emit proper native barrier insns. In llvm commits [2] and [3], (void)__sync_fetch_and_add(...) will generate the following insns: - for cpu v1/v2: locked xadd insns to keep backward compatibility - for cpu v3/v4: __atomic_fetch_add() insns To ensure proper barrier semantics for (void)__sync_fetch_and_add(...), cpu v3/v4 is recommended. This patch enables cpu=v3 as the default cpu version. For users wanting to use cpu v1, -mcpu=v1 needs to be explicitly added to clang/llc command line.
