Hmmm... ARM has two implementations. One in the header files which is what I
consulted when writing that email:
static inline void ____atomic_set_bit(unsigned int bit, volatile unsigned long
*p)
{
unsigned long flags;
unsigned long mask = 1UL << (bit & 31);
p += bit >> 5;
raw_local_irq_save(flags);
*p |= mask;
raw_local_irq_restore(flags);
}
And the other in the libs which does as you say. Why the one in the header
file at all?
