+/* The purpose of this file is to export a small set of atomic-related
+ * functions from the C library, to ensure binary ABI compatibility for
+ * the NDK.
+ *
+ * These functions were initially exposed by the NDK through <sys/atomics.h>,
+ * which was unfortunate because their implementation didn't provide any
+ * memory barriers at all.
+ *
+ * This wasn't a problem for the platform code that used them, because it
+ * used explicit barrier instructions around them. On the other hand, it means
+ * that any NDK-generated machine code that linked against them would not
+ * perform correctly when running on multi-core devices.
+ *
+ * To fix this, the platform code was first modified to not use any of these
+ * functions (everything is now inlined through assembly statements, see
+ * libc/private/bionic_arm_inline.h and the headers it includes.
+ *
+ * The functions here are thus only for the benefit of NDK applications,
+ * and now includes full memory barriers to prevent any random memory ordering
+ * issue from cropping.
+ *
+ * Note that we also provide an updated <sys/atomics.h> header that defines
+ * always_inlined versions of the functions that use the GCC builtin
+ * intrinsics to perform the same thing.
+ *
+ * NOTE: There is no need for a similar file for non-ARM platforms.
