Russell, please pull the following for the next merge window:
git://git.linaro.org/people/nico/linux.git cmpxchg64
This series cleans up the kuser documentation, then it adds 64-bit
cmpxchg support as needed by some user space applications.
Tested with the initial libgcc patches relying on this, using a
kernel that has this series applied, and another without those
patches to verify that the test for the availability of the needed
helper does work as intended.
Nicolas Pitre (2):
ARM: kuser: move interface documentation out of the source code
ARM: add a kuser_cmpxchg64 user space helper
