Make sure that at least cmpxchg64_local is available on all architectures to use
for unsigned long long values.

include/asm-powerpc/elf.h has 6 entries in ARCH_DLINFO.  fs/binfmt_elf.c
has 14 unconditional NEW_AUX_ENT entries and 2 conditional NEW_AUX_ENT
entries.  So in the worst case, saved_auxv does not get an AT_NULL entry at
the end.

The saved_auxv array must be terminated with an AT_NULL entry.  Make the
size of mm_struct-&gt;saved_auxv arch dependend, based on the number of
ARCH_DLINFO entries.

<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.

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.
