Well, I blatantly copied from PostgreSQL's s_lock.h and came up with
this:

Rationale:
If I'm reading the original code correctly, there's no actual locking
done but 
instead the code only tests whether it could acquire a lock. 'ldstub'
works such 
that it returns the current value of the memory region specified and
sets it to 
all '1' afterwards. Thus, if the return value is '-1' the lock was
already set 
by another process whereas if it's '0' we acquired the lock. Well, at
least in 
my certainly flawed logic ;) Since ldstub is atomic I didn't see a need
to 
explicitly "lock;" the code.

The patch should leave the 'cas' code intact when being compiled on v9
type 
SPARC systems. Tested (for successful compilation only!) on Debian
(etch) using 
gcc 3.3.5. Thus I believe further testing is necessary to verify this is

actually working.

Well, please test and incorporate if you feel the code is doing what
it's 
supposed to do.

As the sparc documentation says 
(http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/atomic_sparc/#CAS):
The SPARC v9 manual introduced the newest atomic instruction: compare
and swap 
(cas)

I don't know how to fix this right now. If you know someone who can,
he's 
welcome. I've already asked for help.

wait and see

Description:
------------
Compiling with PHP-FPM enabled on an older SPARC system will result in 

/tmp/cc6w5Fh0.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cc6w5Fh0.s:39: Error: Architecture mismatch on "cas".
/tmp/cc6w5Fh0.s:39:  (Requires v9|v9a|v9b; requested architecture is
sparclite.)

Unfortunately my knowledge of SPARC assembly language isn't nearly good
enough to fix that. I know that the v9 "cas" opcode does an atomic
"compare and swap" operation but I wouldn't know how to translate that
into v8 code. 

Test script:
---------------
Copy /sapi/fpm/fpm/fpm_atomic.h to fpm_atomic.c and add bogus main()
function:

int main () {
	int result;
	atomic_t mylock;
	result = fpm_spinlock(&mylock, 1);
}

Compile using "gcc -mcpu=v8 fpm_atomic.c" will result in error message
given.


Expected result:
----------------
Should compile without error.

Actual result:
--------------
sparky:~# gcc -mcpu=v8 fpm_atomic.c
/tmp/cciAbMrC.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cciAbMrC.s:121: Error: Architecture mismatch on "cas".
/tmp/cciAbMrC.s:121:  (Requires v9|v9a|v9b; requested architecture is
sparclite.)
