2010-05-17atomic_t: Cast to volatile when accessing atomic variablesAnton Blanchard1-2/+2
In preparation for removing volatile from the atomic_t definition, this patch adds a volatile cast to all the atomic read functions. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2010-02-27MIPS: New macro smp_mb__before_llsc.David Daney1-8/+8
Replace some instances of smp_llsc_mb() with a new macro smp_mb__before_llsc(). It is used before ll/sc sequences that are documented as needing write barrier semantics. The default implementation of smp_mb__before_llsc() is just smp_llsc_mb(), so there are no changes in semantics. Also simplify definition of smp_mb(), smp_rmb(), and smp_wmb() to be just barrier() in the non-SMP case.

2009-09-17MIPS: Allow kernel use of LL/SC to be separate from the presence of LL/SC.David Daney1-20/+20
On some CPUs, it is more efficient to disable and enable interrupts in the kernel rather than use ll/sc for atomic operations. But if we were to set cpu_has_llsc to false, we would break the userspace futex interface (in asm/futex.h). We separate the two concepts, with a new predicate kernel_uses_llsc, that lets us disable the kernel's use of ll/sc while still allowing the futex code to use it. Also there were a couple of cases in bitops.h where we were using ll/sc unconditionally even if cpu_has_llsc were false.

2009-06-11asm-generic: rename atomic.h to atomic-long.hArnd Bergmann1-1/+1
The existing asm-generic/atomic.h only defines the atomic_long type. This renames it to atomic-long.h so we have a place to add a truly generic atomic.h that can be used on all non-SMP systems.

2009-01-31MIPS: atomic_*(): Change type of intermediate variables.Ralf Baechle1-26/+26
This shaves of 1912 bytes of an IP27 defconfig kernel and avoids unexpected overflow behaviour in atomic_sub_if_positive. Apply the same changes to the atomic64_* functions for consistency. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
2009-01-07atomic_t: unify all arch definitionsMatthew Wilcox1-4/+1
The atomic_t type cannot currently be used in some header files because it would create an include loop with asm/atomic.h. Move the type definition to linux/types.h to break the loop.
