+Subject: [PATCH] [PowerPC] Fix i8/i16 atomics for little-Endian targets
+ without partword atomics
+
+For little-Endian PowerPC, we generally target only P8 and later by default.
+However, generic (older) 64-bit configurations are still an option, and in that
+case, partword atomics are not available (e.g. stbcx.). To lower i8/i16 atomics
+without true i8/i16 atomic operations, we emulate using i32 atomics in
+combination with a bunch of shifting and masking, etc. The amount by which to
+shift in little-Endian mode is different from the amount in big-Endian mode (it
+is inverted -- meaning we can leave off the xor when computing the amount).
+
+Fixes PR22923.
