Currently, atomic-long is split into two sections, one defining the
raw_atomic_long_*() ops for CONFIG_64BIT, and one defining the raw
atomic_long_*() ops for !CONFIG_64BIT.
With many lines elided, this looks like:
| #ifdef CONFIG_64BIT
| ...
| static __always_inline bool
| raw_atomic_long_try_cmpxchg(atomic_long_t *v, long *old, long new)
| {
| return raw_atomic64_try_cmpxchg(v, (s64 *)old, new);
| }
| ...
| #else /* CONFIG_64BIT */
| ...
| static __always_inline bool
| raw_atomic_long_try_cmpxchg(atomic_long_t *v, long *old, long new)
| {
| return raw_atomic_try_cmpxchg(v, (int *)old, new);
| }
| ...
| #endif
The two definitions are spread far apart in the file, and duplicate the
prototype, making it hard to have a legible set of kerneldoc comments.
Make this simpler by defining the C prototype once, and writing the two
definitions inline. For example, the above becomes:
| static __always_inline bool
| raw_atomic_long_try_cmpxchg(atomic_long_t *v, long *old, long new)
| {
| #ifdef CONFIG_64BIT
| return raw_atomic64_try_cmpxchg(v, (s64 *)old, new);
| #else
| return raw_atomic_try_cmpxchg(v, (int *)old, new);
| #endif
| }
As we now always have a single copy of the C prototype wrapping all the
potential definitions, we now have an obvious single location for kerneldoc
comments. As a bonus, both the script and the generated file are
somewhat shorter.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

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 Restructured Text 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.
