[PATCH] ppc64: speedup cmpxchg
cmpxchg has the following code: __typeof__(*(ptr)) _o_ = (o); __typeof__(*(ptr)) _n_ = (n); Unfortunately it makes gcc 4.0 store and load the variables to the stack. Eg in atomic_dec_and_test we get: stw r10,112(r1) stw r9,116(r1) lwz r9,112(r1) lwz r0,116(r1) x86 is just casting the values so do that instead. Also change __xchg* and __cmpxchg* to take unsigned values, removing a few sign extensions. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
