Originally that code was intended only for R2000-class processors. But LL/SC don't work correctly on XKPHYS addresses on some R5000-class processors, so we avoid these instructions on the affected processors running 64-bit kernels and use the fallback method of disabling interrupts anyway, so long indeed might be longer than int. What in the end saves us is that atomic_sub_if_positive's only caller atomic_dec_if_positive is only being used by the RM9000 watchdog driver and the RM9000 doesn't suffer from the mentioned CPU bug. Still no reason not to fix it. I changed the intermediate variables used in all functions that operate on atomic_t to int rsp. long for the atomic64_* functions for consistency - which as a nice side effect also shaves of almost 2kB from the kernel due to the elemination of gcc-generated non-sense sign extension code. Ralf MIPS: atomic_*(): Change type of intermediate variables. This shaves of 1912 bytes of an IP27 defconfig kernel and avoids unexpected overflow behaviour in atomic_sub_if_positive. Apply the same changes to the atomic64_* functions for consistency.
