BTW atomic64_set() asm() contraints are wrong :
static inline void atomic64_set(atomic64_t *v, long long i)
{
unsigned high = (unsigned)(i >> 32);
unsigned low = (unsigned)i;
asm volatile(ATOMIC64_ALTERNATIVE(set)
: "+b" (low), "+c" (high)
: "S" (v)
: "eax", "edx", "memory"
);
}
ebx/ecx registers are not modified by cmpxchg8b (or the
atomic64_set_386 emulation). Only eax/edx can be modified.
Isn't it also possible to constrain the "memory"
constraint to only apply to '*v' not all of memory?
I can't remember the syntax off hand though...
