182dd4b277 doc: Add load/store guarantees to Documentation/atomic-ops.txt 
An IRC discussion uncovered many conflicting opinions on what types
of data may be atomically loaded and stored.  This commit therefore
calls this out the official set: pointers, longs, ints, and chars (but
not shorts).  This commit also gives some examples of compiler mischief
that can thwart atomicity.

Please note that this discussion is relevant to !SMP kernels if
CONFIG_PREEMPT=y: preemption can cause almost as much trouble as can SMP.

As declaring counter as volatile is discouraged, it is best not to use it

02c608c1fe documentation: atomic_add_unless() doesn't imply mb() on failure 
(sorry for being offtpoic, but while experts are here...)

A "typical" implementation of atomic_add_unless() can return 0 immediately
after the first atomic_read() (before doing cmpxchg). In that case it doesn't
provide any barrier semantics. See include/asm-ia64/atomic.h as an example.

We should either change the implementation, or fix the docs.

8d7b52dfc9 atomic_ops.txt has incorrect, misleading and insufficient information [Bug 9020] 
atomic_ops.txt has incorrect, misleading and insufficient information about
semantics of initializer, atomic_set, atomic_read and atomic_xchg.

It also incorrectly implies that operations mentioned above are not actual
atomic operations.

Included is most of the patch Document non-semantics of atomic_read() and
atomic_set() by Chris Snook, except the word "assignment".

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2 
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
