The conditional inc/dec ops differ for atomic_t and atomic64_t: - atomic_inc_unless_positive() is optional for atomic_t, and doesn't exist for atomic64_t. - atomic_dec_unless_negative() is optional for atomic_t, and doesn't exist for atomic64_t. - atomic_dec_if_positive is optional for atomic_t, and is mandatory for atomic64_t. Let's make these consistently optional for both. At the same time, let's clean up the existing fallbacks to use atomic_try_cmpxchg(). The instrumented atomics are updated accordingly. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
