Subject: [PATCH v3 cmpxchg 4/4] ARM: Emulate one-byte cmpxchg

Use the new cmpxchg_emu_u8() to emulate one-byte cmpxchg() on ARM systems
with ARCH < ARMv6K.

[ paulmck: Apply Arnd Bergmann and Nathan Chancellor feedback. ]

Hi Paul,

thanks for your patch! This caught my eye:

ARCH == ARMv6.

This ARCH < ARMv6K comes from inversion of the the a bit terse
comment for ifndef CONFIG_CPU_V6, which means "out of the
post-v6 CPUs, the following applies to those > V6".

The code in the patch, IIUC make use of cmpxchg_emu_u8()
if and only if the CPU is V6.

This is now a set with one member so this comment should say:

/* ARCH == ARMv6 */

After this change.

Yours,
Linus Walleij

Thank you for looking this over! Does the following patch (to be merged
into the original) capture it properly?

Thanx, Paul

Yup, also fix the commit message to be == CPU_V6,
with that:

Good catch, and will fix.

Thank you! I will apply these on my next rebase.
