Subject: [ 119/122] m68k: Make sys_atomic_cmpxchg_32 work on classic m68k

From: Greg KH <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

3.5-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andreas Schwab <schwab@...ux-m68k.org>

commit 9e2760d18b3cf179534bbc27692c84879c61b97c upstream.

User space access must always go through uaccess accessors, since on
classic m68k user space and kernel space are completely separate.
