Backport of #106660 to release/9.0

/cc @lambdageek

Customer Impact

  • Customer reported
  • Found internally

After the BCL started to use the new Interlocked.Exchange<T>(...) and Interlocked.CompareExchange<T>(...) APIs with bool and enum types for certain internal lock-free data structures, Mono experienced a severe performance regression across multiple form factors because we did not implement intrinsics for types backed by 8-bit and 16-bit integers. As a result the slower IL fallbacks were used. See #105335

Regression

  • Yes
  • No

This is a performance regression, not a correctness regression.

Testing

We have test coverage for these cases in the JIT and libraries testsuires.

Risk

Medium.

Additionally on WebAssembly we now always emit the atomic instructions in the jiterpreter. It is possible customers may deploy apps on older browser that do not implement those instructions. (Although all modern browsers support the opcodes even on non-shared memory). As a mitigation the jiterpreter includes a configuration flag to turn off JITing for traces that require the new opcodes.

It is possible that there are correctness criteria that are missed by our testsuites and we may JIT or incorrect code on some architectures. It is unlikely that we will AOT incorrect code as changes to LLVM codegen were minor. Possible customer workarounds in case of a JIT bug would be to produce AOT profiles that force AOT for the affected methods.

Fixes #105335
Fixes #93488

also add mono_atomic_cas_u8 utility function
maybe we can't actually do a 1 or 2 byte move from RAX ?
fixup u16 win32 atomic
for the 16-bit addressing prefix
…t fail to allocate a table index and generate a warning. This shouldn't happen in prod anyway

Implement cmpxchg atomics natively in jiterpreter

Remove unnecessary jiterp cas helpers

Do cmpxchg result fixups as needed

Add runtime option for jiterpreter atomics

Interp/jiterp look right.

The arm and llvm changes look good.

Correct. These macros are not currently used for size 1 or 2
