[PATCH] x86: fix and improve cmpxchg_double{,_local}()

From: Jan Beulich
Date: Mon Jan 02 2012 - 12:01:32 EST


Just like the per-CPU ones they had several problems/shortcomings:

Only the first memory operand was mentioned in the asm() operands, and
the 2x64-bit version didn't have a memory clobber while the 2x32-bit
one did. The former allowed the compiler to not recognize the need to
re-load the data in case it had it cached in some register, while the
latter was overly destructive.

The types of the local copies of the old and new values were incorrect
(the types of the pointed-to variables should be used here, to make
sure the respective old/new variable types are compatible).

The __dummy/__junk variables were pointless, given that local copies
of the inputs already existed (and can hence be used for discarded
outputs).

The 32-bit variant of cmpxchg_double_local() referenced
cmpxchg16b_local().

At once also
- change the return value type to what it really is: 'bool'
- unify 32- and 64-bit variants
- abstract out the common part of the 'normal' and 'local' variants
