Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: cmpxchg64() and HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN don't work
for 32-bit SMP
__cmpxchg64_local_generic() is atomic only w.r.t tasks and interrupts
on the same CPU (that's what the 'local' means). We can't use it to
implement cmpxchg64() in SMP configurations.
So, for 32-bit SMP configurations:
- Don't define cmpxchg64()
- Don't enable HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN, which requires it
Fixes: e2093c7b03c1 ("MIPS: Fall back to generic implementation of ...")
Fixes: bb877e96bea1 ("MIPS: Add support for full dynticks CPU time accounting")
