From fd25d19f6b8da315332bb75936605fb45d3ea981 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Wed, 21 Jun 2017 13:00:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] locking/refcount: Create unchecked atomic_t implementation Many subsystems will not use refcount_t unless there is a way to build the kernel so that there is no regression in speed compared to atomic_t. This adds CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL to enable the full refcount_t implementation which has the validation but is slightly slower. When not enabled, refcount_t uses the basic unchecked atomic_t routines, which results in no code changes compared to just using atomic_t directly.
