I dont think Sparc is at fault here - system.h is where we historically provided xchg() from. Then as atomic.h was introduced and extended, some architectures (x86 amongst them) gradually migrated their definition of xchg() into atomic.h and related helper headers. (while still making it available for system.h) This opened up the path for someone eventually only including asm/atomic.h from generic code and breaking the architectures that only provide it via system.h. So i've queued up the fix below - this should address the problem on Sparc and s390. So moving it to atomic.h does make sense - but that's no excuse for breaking the build. Sorry about this!

Most have it in system.h but also in atomic.h (which is arguably the more logical point for it). Some, such as Sparc only have it in asm/system.h and not available via asm/atomic.h. Use the widest set of headers in debug_locks.h and also include asm/system.h.
