Performing SMP atomic operations on u64 fails on powerpc32:

The kernel-side generation counter in the random driver is handled as an
unsigned long, not as a u64, in base_crng and struct crng.
But on the vDSO side, it needs to be an u64, not just an unsigned long,
in order to support a 32-bit vDSO atop a 64-bit kernel.
On kernel side, however, it is an unsigned long, hence a 32-bit value on
32-bit architectures, so just cast it to unsigned long for the
smp_store_release(). A side effect is that on big endian architectures
the store will be performed in the upper 32 bits. It is not an issue on
its own because the vDSO site doesn't mind the value, as it only checks
differences. Just make sure that the vDSO side checks the full 64 bits.
For that, the local current_generation has to be u64 as well.

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 reStructuredText 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.
