Trying to analyze the issue:


The problem appears with SVN 334762 in 11.3:

This change adds two new functions to sys/i386/include/atomic.h:
   atomic_add_64()
   atomic_subtract_64()
[I don't really understand why this goes into a headerfile, but, well,
   nevermind]

Also, this change deactivates two functions (only in case *i386*) from
sys/cddl/compat/opensolaris/kern/opensolaris_atomic.c
   atomic_add_64()
   atomic_del_64()
[Now, there seems to be a slight strangeness here: if we *deactivate*
atomic_del_64(), and *insert* atomic_subtract_64(), then these two
names are not the same, and I might suppose that the atomic_del_64()
is then somehow missing. But, well, nevermind]

Now, the strange thing:
this file sys/cddl/compat/opensolaris/kern/opensolaris_atomic.c
from which now two functions get excluded *only in case i386*, is not
even compiled for i386:

>/usr/src/sys/conf$ grep opensolaris_atomic.c *
>files.arm:cddl/compat/opensolaris/kern/opensolaris_atomic.c     optional zfs | dtrace compile-with "${CDDL_C}"
>files.mips:cddl/compat/opensolaris/kern/opensolaris_atomic.c    optional zfs | dtrace compile-with "${CDDL_C}"
>files.powerpc:cddl/compat/opensolaris/kern/opensolaris_atomic.c                 optional zfs powerpc | dtrace powerpc compile-with "${ZFS_C}"
>files.riscv:cddl/compat/opensolaris/kern/opensolaris_atomic.c   optional zfs | dtrace compile-with "${CDDL_C}"

[So maybe that's the reason why the now lack of atomic_del_64() is not
complained? Or maybe it's not used, or maybe I didn't find some
definition whereever. Well, nevermind]


Anyway, the actual name clash happens between
sys/cddl/contrib/opensolaris/common/atomic/i386/opensolaris_atomic.S,
because that one *is* compiled:

>/usr/src/sys/conf$ grep i386/opensolaris_atomic.S *
>files.i386:cddl/contrib/opensolaris/common/atomic/i386/opensolaris_atomic.S     optional zfs | dtrace compile-with "${ZFS_S}"


I tried to move out the changes from SVN 334762. Sadly, that didn't
work, because something does already use these atomic_add_64() stuff,

So instead, I did this one:

--- sys/cddl/contrib/opensolaris/common/atomic/i386/opensolaris_atomic.S        (revision 350287)

And at least it compiles now. If it actually runs, that remains to be
found out.


Bottomline:
Please, please, please, sort this out and fix it.
