[PATCH] make local_t signed
local_t's were defined to be unsigned. This increases confusion because atomic_t's are signed. The patch goes through and changes all implementations to use signed longs throughout. Also, x86-64 was using 32-bit quantities for the value passed into local_add() and local_sub(). Fixed. All (actually, both) existing users have been audited. (Also s/__inline__/inline/ in x86_64/local.h) Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de> Cc: Benjamin LaHaise <bcrl@kvack.org> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@parisc-linux.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
