![]() The macrology in cmpxchg.h was designed to allow arbitrary pointer and integer values to be passed through the routines. To support cmpxchg() on 64-bit values on the 32-bit tilepro architecture, we used the idiom "(typeof(val))(typeof(val-val))". This way, in the "size 8" branch of the switch, when the underlying cmpxchg routine returns a 64-bit quantity, we cast it first to a typeof(val-val) quantity (i.e. size_t if "val" is a pointer) with no warnings about casting between pointers and integers of different sizes, then cast onwards to typeof(val), again with no warnings. If val is not a pointer type, the additional cast is a no-op. We can't replace the typeof(val-val) cast with (for example) unsigned long, since then if "val" is really a 64-bit type, we cast away the high bits. HOWEVER, this fails with current gcc (through 4.7 at least) if "val" is a pointer to an incomplete type. Unfortunately gcc isn't smart enough to realize that "val - val" will always be a size_t type even if it's an incomplete type pointer. Accordingly, I've reworked the way we handle the casting. We have given up the ability to use cmpxchg() on 64-bit values on tilepro, which is OK in the kernel since we should use cmpxchg64() explicitly on such values anyway. As a result, I can just use simple "unsigned long" casts internally. As I reworked it, I realized it would be cleaner to move the architecture-specific conditionals for cmpxchg and xchg out of the atomic.h headers and into cmpxchg, and then use the cmpxchg() and xchg() primitives directly in atomic.h and elsewhere. This allowed the cmpxchg.h header to stand on its own without relying on the implicit include of it that is performed by <asm/atomic.h>. It also allowed collapsing the atomic_xchg/atomic_cmpxchg routines from atomic_{32,64}.h into atomic.h. I improved the tests that guard the allowed size of the arguments to the routines to use a __compiletime_error() test. (By avoiding the use of BUILD_BUG, I could include cmpxchg.h into bitops.h as well and use the macros there, which is otherwise impossible due to include order dependency issues.) The tilepro _atomic_xxx internal methods were previously set up to take atomic_t and atomic64_t arguments, which isn't as convenient with the new model, so I modified them to take int or u64 arguments, which is consistent with how they used the arguments internally anyway, so provided some nice simplification there too.
