Trying to build some code using atomic_clear_mask() on a ARM v6
processor with a recent compiler (tried with gcc version 4.1.1
(CodeSourcery ARM Sourcery G++ 2006q3-26), but
all gcc > 4.1 might be affected) results in the following:

/tmp/ccWKLJV8.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccWKLJV8.s:581: Error: instruction does not accept this addressing
mode -- `ldrex r0,r3'
/tmp/ccWKLJV8.s:583: Error: instruction does not accept this addressing
mode -- `strex r1,r0,r3'

Older gcc (like gcc version 4.0.0 (DENX ELDK 4.1 4.0.0)) have no problem
with this.

The patch below fixes the compile error. I also verified that gcc-4.0.0 generates identical code using both forms.

Now that we have raw_* variants of local_irq_$FOO(), switch the atomic
helpers over to use those raw_* variants.  This is necessary when using
lockdep on pre-ARMv6 hardware, as lockdep uses atomic_t counters in the
trace_hardirqs_off() path.

add atomic_xchg() to all the architectures. Needed by the new mutex code.

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.

Since atomic.h does not include types.h, u32 may not be defined.
Since atomics are supposed to work on unsigned long quantities,
use unsigned long instead.

atomic.h, bitops.h and mmu_context.h are using likely/unlikely.
thread_info.h uses __attribute_const__.  Hence these files require
linux/compiler.h to be included.

Patch from Nicolas Pitre

If 'old' and 'oldval' are different then 'res' never gets set.  In that
case, if ever %0 happened to contain anything but zero (rather likely)
then the code will loop forever (or until another CPU just come along
and change the atomic value to match 'old' which is rather unlikely).

Introduce an atomic_inc_not_zero operation.  Make this a special case of
atomic_add_unless because lockless pagecache actually wants
atomic_inc_not_negativeone due to its offset refcount.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
