Subject: [PATCH] tools/memory-model: Document herd7 (internal) representation
tools/memory-model/ and herdtool7 are closely linked: the latter is
responsible for (pre)processing each C-like macro of a litmus test,
and for providing the LKMM with a set of events, or "representation",
corresponding to the given macro. Provide herd-representation.txt
to document the representation of synchronization macros, following
their "classification" in Documentation/atomic_t.txt.
Suggested-by: Hernan Ponce de Leon <hernan.poncedeleon@...weicloud.com>

- Leaving srcu_{up,down}_read() and smp_mb__after_srcu_read_unlock() for
the next version.
- Limiting to "add" and "and" ops (skipping similar/same representations
for "sub", "inc", "dec", "or", "xor", "andnot").
- While preparing this submission, I recalled that atomic_add_unless()
is not listed in the .def file. I can't remember the reason for this
omission though.
- While checking the information below using herd7, I've observed some
"strange" behavior with spin_is_locked() (perhaps, unsurprisingly...);
IAC, that's also excluded from this table/submission.
