Subject: [PATCH 43/78] ARM: 7720/1: ARM v6/v7 cmpxchg64 shouldn't clear upper 32 bits of the old/new value

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

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

From: Jaccon Bastiaansen <jaccon.bastiaansen@...il.com>

commit 6eabb3301b1facee669d9938f7c5a0295c21d71d upstream.

The implementation of cmpxchg64() for the ARM v6 and v7 architecture
casts parameter 2 and 3 (the old and new 64bit values) to an unsigned
long before calling the atomic_cmpxchg64() function. This clears
the top 32 bits of the old and new values, resulting in the wrong
values being compare-exchanged. Luckily, this only appears to be used
for 64-bit sched_clock, which we don't (yet) have on ARM.

This bug was introduced by commit 3e0f5a15f500 ("ARM: 7404/1: cmpxchg64:
use atomic64 and local64 routines for cmpxchg64").
