[PATCH -next] sparc32/sparc64: Provide cmpxchg64()

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

sparc/sparc64 allmodconfig:

drivers/block/blockconsole.c: In function ‘bcon_advance_console_bytes’:
drivers/block/blockconsole.c:164: error: implicit declaration of function
‘cmpxchg64’

Map cmpxchg64 to cmpxchg64_local to fix this.

But, in the sparc 32-bit case, the _local() variants are only atomic
from the perspective of the current cpu, they are not globally atomic.

This is true because the sparc 32-bit cases use the
asm-generic/cmpxchg-local.h helpers.

I really can't apply this, it isn't correct, sorry.

You're right, sorry for that.

The sparc64 part is still OK as it eventually calls __cmpxchg_u64(), isn't it?

Do you want me to send a new patch for that part only, or will you just
remove the sparc32 part?

Thanks!

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

Yes, that part is OK.

Please send a new patch, thank you.
