2.6.34-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon(a)arm.com>

commit 068de8d1be48a04b92fd97f76bb7e113b7be82a8 upstream.

The atomic64_add_unless function compares an atomic variable with
a given value and, if they are not equal, adds another given value
to the atomic variable. The function returns zero if the addition
did not occur and non-zero otherwise.

On ARM, the return value is initialised to 1 in C code. Inline assembly
code then performs the atomic64_add_unless operation, setting the
return value to 0 iff the addition does not occur. This means that
when the addition *does* occur, the value of ret must be preserved
across the inline assembly and therefore requires a "+r" constraint
rather than the current one of "=&r".

Thanks to Nicolas Pitre for helping to spot this.
