ring-buffer: typecast cmpxchg to fix PowerPC warning
The cmpxchg used by PowerPC does the following:
({ \
__typeof__(*(ptr)) _o_ = (o); \
__typeof__(*(ptr)) _n_ = (n); \
(__typeof__(*(ptr))) __cmpxchg((ptr), (unsigned long)_o_, \
(unsigned long)_n_, sizeof(*(ptr))); \
})
This does a type check of *ptr to both o and n.
Unfortunately, the code in ring-buffer.c assigns longs to pointers
and pointers to longs and causes a warning on PowerPC:
ring_buffer.c: In function 'rb_head_page_set':
ring_buffer.c:704: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast
ring_buffer.c:704: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast
ring_buffer.c: In function 'rb_head_page_replace':
ring_buffer.c:797: warning: initialization makes integer from pointer without a cast
This patch adds the typecasts inside cmpxchg to annotate that a long is
being cast to a pointer and a pointer is being casted to a long and this
removes the PowerPC warnings.
