Nathan Bossart 64b1fb5f03 Optimize pg_atomic_exchange_u32 and pg_atomic_exchange_u64.
Presently, all platforms implement atomic exchanges by performing
an atomic compare-and-swap in a loop until it succeeds.  This can
be especially expensive when there is contention on the atomic
variable.  This commit optimizes atomic exchanges on many platforms
by using compiler intrinsics, which should compile into something
much less expensive than a compare-and-swap loop.  Since these
intrinsics have been available for some time, the inline assembly
implementations are omitted.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software, and related software, may be
obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information
look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
