The argument passed to cmpxchg is not guaranteed to be sign extended, but lr.w sign extends on RV64I. This makes cmpxchg fail on clang built kernels when __old is negative. To fix this, we just cast __old to long which sign extends on RV64I. With this fix, clang built RISC-V kernels now boot.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
