[PATCH] __cmpxchg() must really always be inlined on alpha
With the latest 2.6.15 kernel builds for alpha on Debian, we ran into a problem with undefined references to __cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer() in a couple of kernel modules (xfs.ko and drm.ko; see http://bugs.debian.org/347556). It looks like people have been trying to out-clever each other wrt the definition of "inline" on this architecture :), with the result that __cmpxchg(), which must be inlined so the compiler can see its argument is const, is not guaranteed to be inlined. Indeed, it was not being inlined when building with -Os. The attached patch fixes the issue by adding an __attribute__((always_inline)) explicitly to the definition of __cmpxchg() instead of relying on redefines of "inline" elsewhere to make this happen.
