We currently don't instrument cmpxchg_double() and cmpxchg_double_local() due to compilation issues reported in the past, which are supposedly related to GCC bug 72873 [1], reported when GCC 7 was not yet released. This bug only applies to x86-64, and does not apply to other architectures. While the test case for GCC bug 72873 triggers issues with released versions of GCC, the instrumented kernel code compiles fine for all configurations I have tried, and it is unclear how the two cases are/were related. As we can't reproduce the kernel build failures, let's instrument cmpxchg_double*() again. We can revisit the issue if build failures reappear.

README
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
