C cannot pass along symbolic names, unfortunately, so we are stuck with
1970's tech and the C preprocessor.
There's a way to make such macros look a tiny bit more structured and thus
be more palatable:
#if BITS_PER_LONG == 32 && defined(CONFIG_SMP)
# define u64_stats_init(syncp) seqcount_init(syncp.seq)
#else
# define u64_stats_init(syncp)
#endif
Note, the 'else' branch should probably be:
# define u64_stats_init(syncp) do { } while (0)
Thanks,
