What

Implements the 48 Dinkumware _Atomic_* helpers of the system libc.prx that AnyPS5 did not have (it already had _Atomic_fetch_add_4, _Atomic_fetch_sub_4, _Atomic_compare_exchange_weak_4 and _Atomic_load_4), in a new src/DinkumwareAtomics.cpp:

• typed 1/2/4/8-byte _Atomic_store_N, _Atomic_load_N, _Atomic_exchange_N, _Atomic_compare_exchange_{strong,weak}_N, _Atomic_fetch_{add,sub,and,or,xor}_N (the sizes missing upstream)
• _Atomic_is_lock_free_{1,2,4,8}, _Atomic_flag_test_and_set, _Atomic_flag_clear, _Atomic_thread_fence, _Atomic_signal_fence
• the generic _Atomic_copy, _Atomic_exchange, _Atomic_compare_exchange_strong and _Atomic_compare_exchange_weak, which take a byte spinlock flag and a size, lock the flag, memcmp/copy the bytes and unlock, as on the console

Every operation is sequentially consistent whatever memory order it is given, never weaker than the console. The libc.prx bundled with PPSA08427 has observable quirks for unusual orders, which are reproduced: _Atomic_load_8 returns 0 for release, acq_rel or an invalid order, and the 8-byte exchange and fetch operations return 0 without touching memory for an order above memory_order_seq_cst. Recorded in docs/dev/debt/libc.md.

Tested

Linux (CachyOS, GCC Release build, plus a clang -Wall -Wextra syntax check): new guest_dinkumware_atomics test (each family, the order quirks, the flag, the generic functions, and two threads updating a 24-byte object through the locked compare-exchange) passes, as does guest_libc_threads. tools/check_conventions.py passes; tools/pr_overlap.py --branch reports no line overlap.

Differential test against the console: the PPSA08427 libc.prx was mapped into a Linux process and every function here was run side by side with this implementation on random values with every memory order from 0 to 7 (stores only with valid orders, since the console's store falls off its jump table otherwise), and the generic functions on sizes 1 to 40 with equal and unequal expected values; return values, targets, expected buffers and lock flags agree everywhere.

Checklist

• Based on current main; no other open PR implements the same functions
• One topic per PR; follow-ups go in a new PR
• No comments in code except technical debt
• Unimplemented paths throw (NotImplemented_nid_no_patch); silent stubs are listed under Silent stubs in their library's technical debt file
• No notes, investigation .md files or images added to the repository (attach them to this PR)
• New third-party code is a submodule built from source
• Generic behaviour, not specific to one title
• Depends on: none
• Unblocks: none
• GPUs tested: n/a
• AI-assisted: yes
