This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
ARM: 7720/1: ARM v6/v7 cmpxchg64 shouldn't clear upper 32 bits of the old/new value
to the 3.9-stable tree which can be found at:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary
The filename of the patch is:

Subject: ARM: 7720/1: ARM v6/v7 cmpxchg64 shouldn't clear upper 32 bits of the old/new value
From: Jaccon Bastiaansen <jaccon.bastiaansen@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 6eabb3301b1facee669d9938f7c5a0295c21d71d upstream.
The implementation of cmpxchg64() for the ARM v6 and v7 architecture
casts parameter 2 and 3 (the old and new 64bit values) to an unsigned
long before calling the atomic_cmpxchg64() function. This clears
the top 32 bits of the old and new values, resulting in the wrong
values being compare-exchanged. Luckily, this only appears to be used
for 64-bit sched_clock, which we don't (yet) have on ARM.
This bug was introduced by commit 3e0f5a15f500 ("ARM: 7404/1: cmpxchg64:
use atomic64 and local64 routines for cmpxchg64").
