libretro-common: add retro_atomic.h portable atomics primitive

A header-only API exposing acquire/release atomic loads, stores and
acq_rel fetch_add/fetch_sub for int and size_t, with a backend cascade
that picks the best primitive each toolchain offers:

  1. C11 <stdatomic.h>           - modern GCC/Clang/MSVC at -std=c11
  2. C++11 <atomic>              - C++ TUs at -std=c++11 or _MSVC_LANG
                                   >= 201103L
  3. GCC __atomic_*              - GCC 4.7+ / Clang 3.1+
                                   (Clang impersonates GCC 4.2 in
                                    __GNUC__, so the gate uses
                                    defined(__clang__) || version check
                                    to avoid falling through to __sync)
  4. MSVC Win32 Interlocked*     - VS2003+, OG Xbox, Xbox 360 XDK; on
                                   ARM/ARM64 the plain forms lack
                                   barriers (PostgreSQL hit this on
                                   Win11/ARM64 in 2025), so RMWs are
                                   bracketed with __dmb on those targets
  5. Apple OSAtomic*             - PPC / pre-10.7 fallback
  6. GCC __sync_*                - GCC 4.1-4.6
  7. volatile fallback           - last resort, single-core / x86 TSO
                                   only; emits a #warning unless
                                   suppressed

Capability flags exposed to callers:

  HAVE_RETRO_ATOMIC               always defined after include
  RETRO_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE          defined iff a real backend selected
                                  (NOT for the volatile fallback)
  RETRO_ATOMIC_BACKEND_NAME       string literal, for diagnostics
  RETRO_ATOMIC_REQUIRE_LOCK_FREE  caller-side opt-in: setting this
                                  before include turns the volatile
                                  fallback into a #error

No active TU includes the header yet; it is the foundation for a future
SPSC fifo primitive and consolidates the hand-rolled atomic shims
currently scattered across coreaudio*.c/m, xaudio.c, mmdevice_common.c,
opensl.c, and gfx_thumbnail.c.

Sample: libretro-common/samples/atomic/retro_atomic_test/

  Single-threaded property checks of every macro plus a 1M-iteration
  SPSC stress test (when HAVE_THREADS) using rthreads sthread_create.
  Compile-time #error checks assert that every named real backend
  implies RETRO_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE and that the volatile fallback never
  sets it.

CI: Linux-libretro-common-samples.yml

  - retro_atomic_test added to the native run allowlist (gcc, with
    the workflow's default ASan/UBSan)
  - new step: C++ smoke test compiled with both g++ and clang++ at
    -std=c++11/14/17 against the in-tree header
  - new step: retro_atomic_test built with clang -fsanitize=thread and
    run with TSAN_OPTIONS=halt_on_error=1; TSan instruments every
    atomic load/store and would flag a missing barrier in the SPSC
    stress that x86 TSO would otherwise hide
  - new job: retro-atomic-cross, matrix [aarch64, armv7], cross-compiles
    with gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu / gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf, runs the
    binary under qemu-user-static, and grep-inspects the emitted asm
    for ldar/stlr/ldadd*_acq_rel (aarch64) or dmb/ldrex/strex (armv7);
    the inspect step exits 1 if no barrier mnemonics are found, which
    catches a silent regression to the volatile fallback

Verified locally:

  - x86_64 native (gcc, clang) + ASan/UBSan + TSan
  - AArch64 cross-compile + qemu, asm shows ldar/stlr/ldadd*_acq_rel
  - ARMv7 cross-compile + qemu, asm shows dmb/ldrex/strex
  - MIPSel cross-compile + qemu, asm shows ll/sc/sync
  - C++11/14/17/20 native (g++ and clang++)
  - C++98 (g++ and clang++) correctly falls through to GCC __atomic_*
  - All 9 forced-backend shape tests (C11, GCC __atomic_*, __sync_*,
    volatile, MSVC x86/x64/ARM64 mocked, Apple 32/64 mocked) plus
    forced C++11

Not verified on real hardware:

  - MSVC ARM64 (correct by construction from MS docs and PostgreSQL
    precedent; awaits Windows-on-ARM CI)
  - Real PowerPC SMP (Wii U, Xbox 360); reasoned from devkitPPC GCC
    and Microsoft's Xbox 360 lockless guide
  - __sync_* and Apple OSAtomic backends (dead code on every current
    target; selection requires GCC < 4.7 or pre-10.7 Apple)

# Cross-architecture validation lane for retro_atomic_test.
#
# The samples job above runs on x86_64, which is a strongly-ordered
# (TSO) architecture. retro_atomic.h's contract is that acquire-load
# / release-store / acq_rel-RMW emit real barriers on weakly-ordered
# SMP targets (ARM, AArch64, PowerPC, MIPS). An x86_64 host run
# cannot exercise that property, because TSO masks reordering bugs
# at the hardware level even when the macros emit no barriers at all.
#
# This job cross-compiles retro_atomic_test for AArch64 and ARMv7 and
# runs the binary under qemu-user-static. qemu-user emulates the
# weak memory model faithfully enough to expose missing-barrier bugs
# in the SPSC stress test, and is cheap enough to run on every push.
#
# We deliberately do NOT run the full samples sweep here -- the rest
# of the samples don't have architecture-dependent codegen that
# warrants the extra CI time. retro_atomic_test is the one that
# benefits from cross-arch coverage.
#
# Real ARM hardware still beats qemu (see e.g. PostgreSQL's 2025
# Win11/ARM64 atomic ordering bug, found only on real silicon),
# but qemu catches most categorical errors and is much cheaper than
# provisioning ARM runners.

#ifndef __LIBRETRO_SDK_ATOMIC_H
#define __LIBRETRO_SDK_ATOMIC_H
/* Minimal portable atomic operations for SPSC patterns.
*
* This header consolidates the ad-hoc atomic shims previously duplicated
* in audio/drivers/{coreaudio,coreaudio3,xaudio,opensl}.c, audio/common/
* mmdevice_common.c and gfx/gfx_thumbnail.c. The surface is intentionally
* narrow: load, store, fetch_add, fetch_sub, plus inc/dec convenience
* wrappers. Everything is on plain machine words (int and size_t); no
* compare-exchange, no double-word ops, no thread-fences. Add only when
* a real caller needs it.
*
* Memory ordering is fixed per-operation rather than parameterised, to
* keep the call sites readable and to avoid having to invent ordering
* tags for every backend:
*
* retro_atomic_load_acquire - acquire load (pairs with release store)
* retro_atomic_store_release - release store (pairs with acquire load)
* retro_atomic_fetch_add - acq_rel RMW
* retro_atomic_fetch_sub - acq_rel RMW
* retro_atomic_inc / dec - acq_rel RMW, return void
*
* Backend selection (in order):
* 1. C11 <stdatomic.h> (modern GCC/Clang/MSVC with /std:c11)
* 2. C++11 <atomic> (any C++ TU with __cplusplus >= 201103L
* or _MSVC_LANG >= 201103L; the natural
* peer of C11 stdatomic for C++ callers)
* 3. GCC __atomic_* (GCC 4.7+ / Clang 3.1+)
* 4. MSVC Interlocked* (Win32) (every MSVC since VS2003, OG Xbox,
* Xbox 360 XDK, modern Win32/x64)
* 5. Mach OSAtomic* (Apple PPC / pre-10.7)
* 6. GCC __sync_* (very old GCC, GCC 4.1-4.6)
* 7. volatile fallback (single-core, x86 TSO, or last resort)
*
* Capability macros (defined after backend selection):
*
* HAVE_RETRO_ATOMIC -> always 1 if the header included
* successfully. Use for compile-time gating
* of any code that uses the API at all.
* RETRO_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE -> 1 if a real lock-free backend was
* selected (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6). NOT
* defined if the volatile fallback (7)
* was selected. SPSC fifos and other
* lock-free data structures should gate
* on this.
*
* Strictly speaking, the C and C++
* standards do not guarantee that
* atomic_int / std::atomic<int> are
* lock-free on all conforming
* implementations. In practice, on
* every architecture and toolchain
* RetroArch supports (x86/x64, ARM,
* AArch64, PowerPC, MIPS, all with
* 32-bit aligned word atomics), int and
* size_t are always lock-free, so this
* macro is defined unconditionally for
* every named backend. If a future
* port lands on a target where this is
* not the case, this comment is the
* right place to add an
* ATOMIC_INT_LOCK_FREE / atomic
* _is_always_lock_free gate.
* RETRO_ATOMIC_BACKEND_NAME -> string literal naming the active backend
* (e.g. "C11 stdatomic", "volatile fallback").
* Useful for diagnostics and CI logs.
*
* Caller-side opt-in for stricter selection:
*
* RETRO_ATOMIC_REQUIRE_LOCK_FREE
* If defined by the caller before including this header, an
* #error is raised when only the volatile fallback would be
* available. Use in code paths whose correctness depends on
* real hardware barriers (e.g. SPSC ring buffers used across
* SMP threads on weakly-ordered targets).
*
* Caller patterns
* ---------------
* There are three idiomatic ways to consume this header, picked
* according to how the caller copes with no-atomics:
*
* Pattern 1 -- "lock-free fast path with a portable fallback"
* Use when you have a working alternative (mutex-based, locked,
* slock_t / scond_t, fifo_queue with a lock around it) that you
* would happily fall back to on a target without real atomics.
* This is the same shape as audio/drivers/coreaudio.c's
* RARCH_COREAUDIO_LEGACY split.
*
* #include <retro_atomic.h>
* #if defined(RETRO_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE)
* // SPSC fast path -- producer/consumer split with
* // load_acquire / store_release / fetch_add.
* static retro_atomic_size_t fill;
* ...
* #else
* // Locked fallback -- regular fifo_queue + slock_t.
* static fifo_buffer_t *fifo;
* static slock_t *lock;
* ...
* #endif
*
* Pattern 2 -- "atomics required, refuse to compile otherwise"
* Use when the calling code has no sensible non-atomic
* implementation -- the fast path *is* the only path, and a
* silent volatile fallback would be worse than a build break.
* Define RETRO_ATOMIC_REQUIRE_LOCK_FREE before the include and
* the header will #error out if no real backend is available.
*
* #define RETRO_ATOMIC_REQUIRE_LOCK_FREE
* #include <retro_atomic.h>
*
* // From here on, RETRO_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is guaranteed.
*
* Pattern 3 -- "atomics if useful, harmless if not"
* Use when the calling code is correct without atomics (e.g.
* relaxed counters used only for diagnostics or rate-limiting
* that can tolerate a torn read). Just use the macros
* unconditionally; the volatile fallback gives you the loosest
* semantics that still compiles, and that's enough.
*
* #include <retro_atomic.h>
* // No #if needed -- counters work either way.
* retro_atomic_int_t debug_counter;
* retro_atomic_inc_int(&debug_counter);
*
* The choice between Pattern 1 and Pattern 2 is mostly about how
* forgiving the calling code can be: a reusable library primitive
* (fifo_spsc_t for instance) is better off with Pattern 1, because
* a dependent that doesn't care about SMP correctness on the rare
* volatile-fallback target shouldn't be forced to provide an
* alternative. Application code that hard-relies on real barriers
* to be correct is better off with Pattern 2 -- it makes the
* portability requirement loud at build time on the platform that
* needs to fix it, instead of silently miscompiling.
*
* The fallback is intentionally weak. It is correct on:
* - true single-core hardware (PSP, original NDS-class)
* - x86/x64 (TSO masks the missing release/acquire fences for naturally
* aligned word-sized loads/stores; the missing piece is a compiler
* barrier, supplied by `volatile`)
* It is NOT correct on weakly-ordered SMP without barriers (ARMv7+ SMP,
* PowerPC SMP, MIPS SMP). No RetroArch target lands in that gap today
* without also having one of the higher-priority backends available, but
* compiling there raises a #warning so it's loud.
*
* PowerPC coverage:
* - Xbox 360 XDK (MSVC + Xenon PPC) -> MSVC backend, *Acquire variants
* emit lwsync. Correct on the 3-core console.
* - libxenon Xbox 360 (xenon-gcc) -> GCC __atomic_* backend.
* - GameCube (single-core Gekko) -> GCC __atomic_* backend; SMP
* concerns moot anyway.
* - Wii (single-core Broadway) -> GCC __atomic_* backend; SMP
* concerns moot anyway.
* - Wii U (3-core Espresso) -> GCC __atomic_* backend.
* - PS3 (Cell PPU, plus SPEs the
* host code does not run on) -> GCC __atomic_* backend.
* - Apple PPC G3/G4 (single-core) -> Apple OSAtomic backend.
* - Apple PPC G5 (SMP) -> Apple OSAtomic backend.
*
* ARM / AArch64 coverage:
* - Switch / libnx (Cortex-A57 SMP) -> GCC __atomic_* backend; emits
* real ldar/stlr/ldadd*_acq_rel. Verified by aarch64-linux-gnu
* cross-compile + qemu user-mode.
* - PSVita (Cortex-A9 SMP, ARMv7) -> GCC __atomic_* backend; emits
* dmb ish around exclusive monitor pairs. Verified by qemu-arm.
* - 3DS (ARM11 ARMv6, single-core
* OldOld 3DS, dual-core New 3DS) -> GCC __atomic_* backend.
* - webOS / Miyoo / OpenPandora -> GCC __atomic_* backend.
* - Raspberry Pi / generic Linux -> GCC __atomic_* or C11 stdatomic.
* - Android (NDK Clang) -> C11 stdatomic.
* - Apple iOS / tvOS / Apple Silicon
* Mac (ARM64, multi-core SMP) -> C11 stdatomic.
* - Windows on ARM64 (MSVC) -> MSVC backend. *Acquire variants
* for load and store emit dmb per MSVC docs; fetch_add/fetch_sub
* are bracketed with explicit __dmb(_ARM64_BARRIER_ISH) since plain
* Interlocked* RMW lacks barriers on ARM64 (PostgreSQL hit this on
* Win11/ARM64 in 2025).
*
* Clang notes:
* Clang impersonates GCC 4.2 in its __GNUC__ / __GNUC_MINOR__
* defines (a long-standing legacy compatibility setting), so a naive
* "GCC >= 4.7" gate would fall through to __sync_* on Clang even
* though Clang has supported __atomic_* since 3.1. The GCC backend
* gate above keys on `defined(__clang__) || (GCC version check)` to
* short-circuit this trap.
*
* Selection on Clang in practice:
* -std=c89/c99/gnu99 -> GCC __atomic_*
* -std=c11/c17/gnu17 -> C11 stdatomic
* -std=c++98 -> GCC __atomic_*
* -std=c++11 and later -> C++11 std::atomic
*
* On AArch64, Clang and GCC emit the same family of instructions
* (ldar / stlr / ldadd*_acq_rel), so the hardware contract is
* honoured identically. Clang on Apple platforms (macOS, iOS,
* tvOS), Android NDK r18+, Emscripten, and PS4-ORBIS all flow
* through one of the gcc / C11 / C++11 paths above; the CI lane
* exercises Clang with ThreadSanitizer, which would flag any
* missing-barrier regression in the SPSC stress.

/* Regression test for libretro-common/include/retro_atomic.h.
*
* Background
* ----------
* retro_atomic.h consolidates the ad-hoc atomic shims that were
* previously duplicated in audio/drivers/{coreaudio,coreaudio3,xaudio,
* opensl}.c, audio/common/mmdevice_common.c and gfx/gfx_thumbnail.c.
* It exposes a narrow surface (load/store with acquire/release
* ordering, fetch_add, fetch_sub, plus inc/dec wrappers) on int and
* size_t, with seven selectable backends:
*
* 1. C11 <stdatomic.h> - modern toolchains
* 2. C++11 <atomic> - C++ TUs with __cplusplus >= 201103L
* 3. GCC __atomic_* - GCC 4.7+ / Clang 3.1+
* 4. MSVC Win32 Interlocked* - VS2003+, OG Xbox, Xbox 360 XDK
* 5. Apple OSAtomic* - PPC / pre-10.7
* 6. GCC __sync_* - GCC 4.1-4.6
* 7. volatile fallback - single-core / x86 TSO
*
* The header's correctness rests on each backend exposing the same
* sequential behaviour through the macros, so this test exercises the
* single-threaded behaviour exhaustively (any backend gets it wrong
* and we see it) and runs an SPSC stress test under one of the
* threading-capable backends to exercise the release/acquire pairing.
*
* What this test asserts
* ----------------------
* 1. The capability flags HAVE_RETRO_ATOMIC, RETRO_ATOMIC_BACKEND_NAME
* and RETRO_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE are defined consistently with the
* selected backend (compile-time #error checks; a real-backend
* selection must imply RETRO_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE, and the volatile
* fallback must NOT define RETRO_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE).
* 2. Initialisers seed the slot to the requested value.
* 3. store_release publishes a value visible to load_acquire on the
* same thread (single-thread observability).
* 4. fetch_add and fetch_sub return the previous value (POSIX-style)
* and update the storage in place.
* 5. inc / dec wrappers map to fetch_add(1) / fetch_sub(1).
* 6. SPSC stress (HAVE_THREADS only): a producer running fetch_add
* 1..N and a release-store flag, paired with a consumer doing
* load_acquire on the counter and the flag, sees a strictly
* monotonically non-decreasing counter sequence and a final value
* of exactly N. This is the property the SPSC fifo design relies
* on. A backend that releases without ordering would be flagged
* by a counter going backwards or by the consumer seeing the flag
* before the writes that should have preceded it.
* 7. The test prints which backend was selected and whether
* RETRO_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined, so a CI diff makes accidental
* backend regressions obvious.
*
* What this test does NOT assert
* ------------------------------
* It does not validate hardware ordering on weakly-ordered SMP from
* a single host run on x86_64 (TSO masks most reordering bugs). For
* the GCC backend, AArch64 / ARMv7 cross-compile + qemu user-mode
* has been verified locally: the test passes and the emitted asm
* contains real ldar/stlr instructions and ldadd*_acq_rel libcalls.
* The existing Switch (libnx), Wii U, PSVita, 3DS and Android CI
* workflows compile-test the rest of the tree on real ARM toolchains,
* which would catch any backend-selection regression at build time.
* MSVC ARM64 is the path we have not been able to validate from a
* Linux CI host; its correctness rests on the *Acquire / *Release
* Win32 forms emitting dmb (Microsoft-documented behaviour) and on
* the explicit __dmb brackets we add around the plain RMW path.
*
* It does not exercise compare-and-exchange or thread fences -- those
* are deliberately not in the API surface, since no caller in the tree
* needs them today. Add them (and tests) only when motivated by a
* real caller.
*
* How a regression is caught
* --------------------------
* Each property check returns 1 on failure; main() sums them and
* exits non-zero if any tripped. CI runs the binary with ASan +
* UBSan (the workflow's default), so any UB from torn writes or
* mistyped casts inside the macros is caught at the same time.
