Subject: [PATCH] ARM: avoid cmpxchg warning in kernel/acct.c
Date: Tue, 12 May 2015 23:29:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2137098.src0nTNAZ2@wuerfel> (raw)

A recent change in kernel/acct.c added a new warning for many
configurations on ARM:

kernel/acct.c: In function 'acct_pin_kill':
arch/arm/include/asm/cmpxchg.h:122:3: warning: value computed is not used [-Wunused-value]
  ((__typeof__(*(ptr)))__cmpxchg_local_generic((ptr), (unsigned long)(o),\

The code is in fact correct, it's just a cmpxchg() call that intentionally
ignores the result, and no other code does that. The warning does not
show up on x86 because of the way that its cmpxchg() macro is written.

This changes the ARM implementation to use a similar construct with a
compound expression instead of a typecast, which causes the compiler to
not complain about an unused result.

Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Fixes: 3b994d98a815 ("get rid of the second argument of acct_kill()")
---
This helps build some of the ARM defconfigs without warnings once more.
