As noted by Christoph Biedl, passing a pointer size of 4 in the new CAS implementation causes a kernel crash. The attached patch corrects the off by one error in the argument validity check. In reviewing the code, I noticed that we only perform word operations with the pointer size argument. The subi instruction intentionally uses a word condition on 64-bit kernels. Nullification was used instead of a cmpib instruction as the branch should never be taken. The shlw pseudo-operation generates a depw,z instruction and it clears the target before doing a shift left word deposit. Thus, we don't need to clip the upper 32 bits of this argument on 64-bit kernels. Tested with a gcc testsuite run with a 64-bit kernel. The gcc atomic code in libgcc is the only direct user of the new CAS implementation that I am aware of.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
