This adds instructions for atomic[64]_[fetch_]and atomic[64]_[fetch_]or atomic[64]_[fetch_]xor All these operations are isomorphic enough to implement with the same verifier, interpreter, and x86 JIT code, hence being a single commit. The main interesting thing here is that x86 doesn't directly support the fetch_ version these operations, so we need to generate a CMPXCHG loop in the JIT. This requires the use of two temporary registers, IIUC it's safe to use BPF_REG_AX and x86's AUX_REG for this purpose.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
