An otherwise correct change to the atomic operations uncovered an existing bug in the sparc __arch_xchg() function, which is calls __xchg_called_with_bad_pointer() when its arguments are unknown at compile time: ERROR: modpost: "__xchg_called_with_bad_pointer" [lib/atomic64_test.ko] undefined! This now happens because gcc determines that it's better to not inline the function. Avoid this by just marking the function as __always_inline to force the compiler to do the right thing here.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
