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.
