On a linux-next allyesconfig build:

kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:1726:
	warning: passing argument 1 of 'atomic_cmpxchg' from incompatible pointer type
linux-next/arch/s390/include/asm/atomic.h:112:
	note: expected 'struct atomic_t *' but argument is of type 'struct atomic64_t *'

atomic_long_cmpxchg and atomic_long_xchg are incorrectly defined for 64
bit architectures.  They should be mapped to the atomic64_* variants.

Remove all clameter@sgi.com addresses from the kernel tree since they will

slab allocators to cl@linux-foundation.org (which will be the new email

atomic_add_unless as inline. Remove system.h atomic.h circular dependency.
I agree (with Andi Kleen) this typeof is not needed and more error
prone. All the original atomic.h code that uses cmpxchg (which includes
the atomic_add_unless) uses defines instead of inline functions,
probably to circumvent a circular dependency between system.h and
atomic.h on powerpc (which my patch addresses). Therefore, it makes
sense to use inline functions that will provide type checking.

atomic_add_unless as inline. Remove system.h atomic.h circular dependency.
Digging into the FRV architecture shows me that it is also affected by
such a circular dependency. Here is the diff applying this against the
rest of my atomic.h patches.

It applies over the atomic.h standardization patches.

For some reason, the BITS_PER_LONG == 64 case of atomic_long_set
was using atomic_set instead of atomic64_set. This does not jive
with architectures which use an inline instead of a #define to
implement their atomic_set() primitives.

For BITS_PER_LONG

Several counters already have the need to use 64 atomic variables on 64 bit
platforms (see mm_counter_t in sched.h).  We have to do ugly ifdefs to fall
back to 32 bit atomic on 32 bit platforms.

The VM statistics patch that I am working on will also make more extensive
use of atomic64.

This patch introduces a new type atomic_long_t by providing definitions in
asm-generic/atomic.h that works similar to the c "long" type.  Its 32 bits
on 32 bit platforms and 64 bits on 64 bit platforms.

Also cleans up the determination of the mm_counter_t in sched.h.
