Paul Mackerras 8e049ef054 x86: atomic64: Code atomic(64)_read and atomic(64)_set in C not CPP ... Occasionally we get bugs where atomic_read or atomic_set are used on atomic64_t variables or vice versa. These bugs don't generate warnings on x86 because atomic_read and atomic_set are coded as macros rather than C functions, so we don't get any type-checking on their arguments; similarly for atomic64_read and atomic64_set in 64-bit kernels. This converts them to C functions so that the arguments are type-checked and bugs like this will get caught more easily. It also converts atomic_cmpxchg and atomic_xchg, and atomic64_cmpxchg and atomic64_xchg on 64-bit, so we get type-checking on their arguments too. Compiling a typical 64-bit x86 config, this generates no new warnings, and the vmlinux text is 86 bytes smaller.
