We use this value to find an inode within the hash bucket, so we can't
change this without re-hashing the inode. For now, treat this value
as immutable.
Eventually, we should probably use an inode number change on a path
based operation to indicate that the lookup cache is invalid, but that's
a bit more code to deal with.

m68k does not support SMP. The access to the rtc is already serialized
with local_irq_save/restore which is sufficient on UP.
The open() protection in arch/m68k/mvme16x/rtc.c is not pretty but
sufficient on UP and safe w/o the BKL.
open() in arch/m68k/bvme6000/rtc.c can do with the same atomic logic

To avoid problems like the one fixed by Stephane Eranian in 3de29ca, now
we'll got this instead:
bench/sched-messaging.c:259: error: negative width in bit-field ‘<anonymous>’
bench/sched-messaging.c:261: error: negative width in bit-field ‘<anonymous>’
Which is rather cryptic, but is how BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO works, so kernel
hackers should be already used to this.
With it in place found some problems, fixed by changing the affected
variables to sensible types or changed some OPT_INTEGER to OPT_UINTEGER.
Next csets will go thru converting each of the remaining OPT_ so that
review can be made easier by grouping changes per type per patch.

Older versions of the slang library didn't used the 'const' specifier,
causing problems with modern compilers of this kind:
util/newt.c:252: error: passing argument 1 of ‘SLsmg_printf’ discards
qualifiers from pointer target type
Fix it by using some wrappers that when needed const the affected
parameters back to plain (char *).

The -c option defines the user requested sampling period. It was implemented
using an unsigned int variable but the type of the option was OPT_LONG. Thus,
the option parser was overwriting memory belonging to other variables, namely
the mmap_pages leading to a zero page sampling buffer. The bug was exposed only
when compiling at -O0, probably because the compiler was padding variables at
higher optimization levels.
This patch fixes this problem by declaring user_interval as u64. This also
avoids wrap-around issues for large period on 32-bit systems.
Commiter note:
Made it use OPT_U64(user_interval) after implementing OPT_U64 in the
previous patch.

We create two constants, write them out to the stack, read them straight back
in and sign extend them. What a mess.
It turns out this bad code is a result of us defining atomic_t as a
volatile int.
We removed the volatile attribute from the powerpc atomic_t definition years
ago, but commit ea435467500612636f8f4fb639ff6e76b2496e4b (atomic_t: unify all
arch definitions) added it back in.
To dig up an old quote from Linus:

And screw up it does :)
With the volatile removed, we see much more reasonable code generation:
c00000000051f5b8: 3b 60 00 01 li r27,1
...
c00000000051f5c0: 3b 80 00 00 li r28,0

In preparation for removing volatile from the atomic_t definition, this
patch adds a volatile cast to all the atomic read functions.

In fact it is now added to the hot key list when newt_form__new is used,
allowing us to remove the explicit assignment in all its users.
The visible change is that <- will exit the menu that pops up when -> is
pressed (and Enter when callchains are not being used).
