arm64: xchg: prevent warning if return value is unused
commit e1dfda9c upstream. Some users of xchg() don't bother using the return value, which results in a compiler warning like the following (from kgdb): In file included from linux/arch/arm64/include/asm/atomic.h:27:0, from include/linux/atomic.h:4, from include/linux/spinlock.h:402, from include/linux/seqlock.h:35, from include/linux/time.h:5, from include/uapi/linux/timex.h:56, from include/linux/timex.h:56, from include/linux/sched.h:19, from include/linux/pid_namespace.h:4, from kernel/debug/debug_core.c:30: kernel/debug/debug_core.c: In function ‘kgdb_cpu_enter’: linux/arch/arm64/include/asm/cmpxchg.h:75:3: warning: value computed is not used [-Wunused-value] ((__typeof__(*(ptr)))__xchg((unsigned long)(x),(ptr),sizeof(*(ptr)))) ^ linux/arch/arm64/include/asm/atomic.h:132:30: note: in expansion of macro ‘xchg’ #define atomic_xchg(v, new) (xchg(&((v)->counter), new)) kernel/debug/debug_core.c:504:4: note: in expansion of macro ‘atomic_xchg’ atomic_xchg(&kgdb_active, cpu); ^ This patch makes use of the same trick as we do for cmpxchg, by assigning the return value to a dummy variable in the xchg() macro itself.
