Subject: [RFC v4 PATCH 08/13] security: identify wrapping atomic usage

From: David Windsor <dwindsor@...il.com>

In some cases atomic is not used for reference
counting and therefore should be allowed to overflow.
Identify such cases and make a switch to non-hardened
atomic version.

  - all REFCOUNT code in general: PaX Team <pageexec@...email.hu>
  - various false positive fixes: Mathias Krause <minipli@...glemail.com>
