commit 05f016d2ca7a4fab99d5d5472168506ddf95e74f upstream. As noted by Christoph Biedl, passing a pointer size of 4 in the new CAS implementation causes a kernel crash. The attached patch corrects the off by one error in the argument validity check. In reviewing the code, I noticed that we only perform word operations with the pointer size argument. The subi instruction intentionally uses a word condition on 64-bit kernels. Nullification was used instead of a cmpib instruction as the branch should never be taken. The shlw pseudo-operation generates a depw,z instruction and it clears the target before doing a shift left word deposit. Thus, we don't need to clip the upper 32 bits of this argument on 64-bit kernels. Tested with a gcc testsuite run with a 64-bit kernel. The gcc atomic code in libgcc is the only direct user of the new CAS implementation that I am aware of.
