I've maintained this patch, originally from Thiemo Seufer in 2004, for a really long time, but I think it's time for it to get a look at for possible inclusion. I have had no problems with it across various SGI systems over the years. To quote the post here: http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2004-12/msg00000.html "the atomic functions use so far memory references for the inline assembler to access the semaphore. This can lead to additional instructions in the ll/sc loop, because newer compilers don't expand the memory reference any more but leave it to the assembler. The appended patch uses registers instead, and makes the ll/sc arguments more explicit. In some cases it will lead also to better register scheduling because the register isn't bound to an output any more."
