Eric pointed out overly restrictive constraints in atomic64_set(), but there are issues throughout the file. In the cited case, %ebx and %ecx are inputs only (don't get changed by either of the two low level implementations). This was also the case elsewhere. Further in many cases early-clobber indicators were missing. Finally, the previous implementation rolled a custom alternative instruction macro from scratch, rather than using alternative_call() (which was introduced with the commit that the description of the change in question actually refers to). Adjusting has the benefit of not hiding referenced symbols from the compiler, which however requires them to be declared not just in the exporting source file (which, as a desirable side effect, in turn allows that exporting file to become a real 5-line stub). This patch does not eliminate the overly restrictive memory clobbers, however: Doing so would occasionally make the compiler set up a second register for accessing the memory object (to satisfy the added "m" constraint), and it's not clear which of the two non-optimal alternatives is better. v2: Re-do the declaration and exporting of the internal symbols.
