This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.
===============
commit e1dfda9ced9bea1413a736f0d578f8218a7788ec upstream.
Some users of xchg() don't bother using the return value, which results
in a compiler warning like the following (from kgdb):
In file included from linux/arch/arm64/include/asm/atomic.h:27:0,

from kernel/debug/debug_core.c:30:
kernel/debug/debug_core.c: In function ‘kgdb_cpu_enter’:
linux/arch/arm64/include/asm/cmpxchg.h:75:3: warning: value computed is not used [-Wunused-value]
((__typeof__(*(ptr)))__xchg((unsigned long)(x),(ptr),sizeof(*(ptr))))
^
linux/arch/arm64/include/asm/atomic.h:132:30: note: in expansion of macro ‘xchg’
#define atomic_xchg(v, new) (xchg(&((v)->counter), new))
kernel/debug/debug_core.c:504:4: note: in expansion of macro ‘atomic_xchg’
atomic_xchg(&kgdb_active, cpu);
^
This patch makes use of the same trick as we do for cmpxchg, by assigning
the return value to a dummy variable in the xchg() macro itself.
