Patch series "tools: testing: Use existing atomic.h for vma/maple tests", v2. De-duplicating this lets us delete a bit of code. Ulterior motive: I'm working on a new set of the userspace-based unit tests, which will need the atomics API too. That would involve even more duplication, so while the win in this patchset alone is very minimal, it looks a lot more significant with my other WIP patchset. I've tested these commands: make -C tools/testing/vma -j tools/testing/vma/vma make -C tools/testing/radix-tree -j tools/testing/radix-tree/maple Note the EXTRA_CFLAGS patch is actually orthogonal, let me know if you'd prefer I send it separately. This patch (of 4): The VMA tests need an operation equivalent to atomic_inc_unless_negative() to implement a fake mapping_map_writable(). Adding it will enable them to switch to the shared atomic headers and simplify that fake implementation. In order to add that, also add atomic_try_cmpxchg() which can be used to implement it. This is copied from Documentation/atomic_t.txt. Then, implement atomic_inc_unless_negative() itself based on the raw_atomic_dec_unless_positive() in include/linux/atomic/atomic-arch-fallback.h. There's no present need for a highly-optimised version of this (nor any reason to think this implementation is sub-optimal on x86) so just implement this with generic C, no x86-specifics.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
