<title>[PATCH] __cmpxchg() must really always be inlined on alpha</title>

<id>c00a76aea339b427b47ddc28de06dee0a652e801</id>
<content type='text'>
With the latest 2.6.15 kernel builds for alpha on Debian, we ran into a
problem with undefined references to __cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer() in
a couple of kernel modules (xfs.ko and drm.ko; see
http://bugs.debian.org/347556).

It looks like people have been trying to out-clever each other wrt the
definition of "inline" on this architecture :), with the result that
__cmpxchg(), which must be inlined so the compiler can see its argument is
const, is not guaranteed to be inlined.  Indeed, it was not being inlined
when building with -Os.

The attached patch fixes the issue by adding an
__attribute__((always_inline)) explicitly to the definition of __cmpxchg()
instead of relying on redefines of "inline" elsewhere to make this happen.

Add per-arch sched_cacheflush() which is a write-back cacheflush used by
the migration-cost calibration code at bootup time.

My alpha build is exploding because asm/atomic.h now needs smb_mb(), which is
over in the (not included) system.h.

I fear what will happen if I include system.h into atomic.h, so let's put the
barriers into their own header file.

alpha xchg has to be a macro - alpha disables always_inline and if that
puppy does not get inlined, we immediately blow up on undefined reference.
Happens even on gcc3; with gcc4 that happens a _lot_.

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!
