linux-toradex.git/include/asm-generic/local64.h, branch v3.0.16 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules arch: Implement local64_t 2010-06-09T09:12:36+00:00 Peter Zijlstra a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl 2010-05-21T12:05:13+00:00 1996bda2a42480c275656233e631ee0966574be4 On 64bit, local_t is of size long, and thus we make local64_t an alias. On 32bit, we fall back to atomic64_t. (architecture can provide optimized 32-bit version) (This new facility is to be used by perf events optimizations.)
