[PATCH] asm-generic/cmpxchg: use BUILD_BUG() when detect unfit, {cmp}xchg size

Show all headers | View raw

From: pan xinhui <xinhui.pan@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

__xchg_called_with_bad_pointer/wrong_size_cmpxchg can't tell us what
codes use {cmp}xchg in incorrect way.  And no error will be reported
until the link stage. To fix such kinds of issues in a easy way, We
use BUILD_BUG().
