Hi This patch fixes atomic64 for sparc64. I'm sending another one, that does tiny microoptimization by using retl delay slot. BTW. this is another case of that console breakage --- the failure happens after the console turns to dummy but before framebuffer is initialized. So it is not displayed and the machine seems hung. What do you think is the best idea to deal with it? - if I remove "dummycon" from compilation, it displays the bug, but in case of no bug, bootconsole and framebuffer will fight over the hardware and cause crash. One of the solutions would be to disable the bootconsole right before framebuffer initialization and don't compile "dummycon". - the other possibility would be to load dummycon immediatelly before framebuffer (so that it kicks off bootconsole right before it would cause trouble) - what is the purpose of dummycon anyway? kernel/printk.c seems to be able to work without any console, so why make a dummy console? It is there only to disable bootconsole? What do you think would be the cleanest solution to the console problem? Mikulas --- If you turn on CONFIG_ATOMIC64_SELFTEST, the test fails on sparc64. The assembler implementations of atomic64_t functions are correct but the functions had their arguments and return values incorrectly declared as 'int'.
