Ah, there are not meant to be return forms of the and/or/xor operations, so
we're pointlessly building code that cannot be used (but this is not otherwise
harmful).
That said, I think this is nothing to do with commit:
1bdadf46eff6804a ("locking/atomic: atomic64: support ARCH_ATOMIC")
... and is in fact a latent issue introduced by commit:
28aa2bda2211f432 ("locking/atomic: Implement atomic{,64,_long}_fetch_{add,sub,and,andnot,or,xor}{,_relaxed,_acquire,_release}()")
... where we accidentally left the:
ATOMIC64_OP_RETURN(op, c_op)
... line for the and/or/xor atomics, even though that wasn't necessary.
This is trivial to avoid, so I'll send a patch shortly.
Thanks,
Mark.
