For better or worse, we can't rule it out.
We'd risk even more subtle bugs in future trying to rely on that not
being the case. :/

Yup, that's the whole reason for the macro insanity in the fist place.
Anoother option is something like:
static inline unsigned long
cmpxchg_size(unsigned long *ptr, unsigned long old, unsigned long new, int size)
{
kasan_check_write(ptr, size);
switch (size) {
case 1:
return arch_cmpxchg((u8 *)ptr, (u8)old, (u8)new);
case 2:
return arch_cmpxchg((u16 *)ptr, (u16)old, (u16)new);
case 4:
return arch_cmpxchg((u32 *)ptr, (u32)old, (u32)new);
case 8:
return arch_cmpxchg((u64 *)ptr, (u64)old, (u64)new);
}
BUILD_BUG();
}
#define cmpxchg(ptr, old, new) \
cmpxchg_size(ptr, old, new, sizeof(*ptr))
Thanks,
Mark.
