local_t : adding and standardising local atomic primitives These patches extend and standardise local_t operations on each architectures, allowing a rich set of atomic operations to be done on per-cpu data with minimal performance impact. On architectures where there seems to be no difference between the SMP and UP operation (same memory barriers, same LOCKing), local.h simply includes asm-generic/local.h, which removes duplicated code from the current kernel tree. These patches apply on 2.6.20. It depends on the patch "atomic.h : standardising atomic primitives" These patches compile fine against : arm i686 ia64 m68k mips mipsel x86_64 ppc 405 powerpc 970 s390 sparc sparc64 Signed-off-by : Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers <at> polymtl.ca>
