Sure, but I rather see that changed to:

1) Create arch_cmpxchg8/16/32/64() inlines first

2) Add that varsize wrapper:

static inline unsigned long cmpxchg_varsize(void *ptr, unsigned long old,
                                            unsigned long new, int size)
{
        switch (size) {
        case 1:
                kasan_check_write(ptr, size);
                return arch_cmpxchg8((u8 *)ptr, (u8) old, (u8)new);
        case 2:
                kasan_check_write(ptr, size);
                return arch_cmpxchg16((u16 *)ptr, (u16) old, (u16)new);
        case 4:
                kasan_check_write(ptr, size);
                return arch_cmpxchg32((u32 *)ptr, (u32) old, (u32)new);
        case 8:
                if (sizeof(unsigned long) == 8) {
                        kasan_check_write(ptr, size);
                        return arch_cmpxchg64((u64 *)ptr, (u64) old, (u64)new);
                }
        default:
                BUILD_BUG();
        }
}

#define cmpxchg(ptr, o, n)                                              \
({                                                                      \
        ((__typeof__(*(ptr)))cmpxchg_varsize((ptr), (unsigned long)(o), \
                             (unsigned long)(n), sizeof(*(ptr))));      \
})

Which allows us to create:

static inline u8 cmpxchg8(u8 *ptr, u8 old, u8 new)
{
	kasan_check_write(ptr, sizeof(old));
	return arch_cmpxchg8(ptr, old, new);
}

and friends as well and later migrate the existing users away from that
untyped macro mess.

And instead of adding

    #include <asm/atomic-instrumented.h>

to the architecture code, we rather do

# mv arch/xxx/include/asm/atomic.h mv arch/xxx/include/asm/arch_atomic.h
# echo '#include <asm-generic/atomic.h>' >arch/xxx/include/asm/atomic.h

# mv include/asm-generic/atomic.h include/asm-generic/atomic_up.h

and create a new include/asm-generic/atomic.h

#ifndef __ASM_GENERIC_ATOMIC_H
#define __ASM_GENERIC_ATOMIC_H

#ifdef CONFIG_ATOMIC_INSTRUMENTED_H
#include <asm-generic/atomic_instrumented.h>
#else
#include <asm-generic/atomic_up.h>
#endif

#endif

Thanks,
