FUNCTION::ATOMIC_LONG_READ(3stap)

✨ NAME ✨

function::atomic_long_read — bestie, this one retrieves an atomic long variable straight out of kernel memory 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

atomic_long_read:long(addr:long)

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• addr — the pointer to your atomic long variable, queen 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this one safely performs the read of an atomic long variable. No chaos, no drama, it just reads it safely like the icon it is 💅

Heads up bestie: this will be a NOP on kernels that do not have ATOMIC_LONG_INIT set on the kernel config. So if nothing's happening, check your config, not your code 🙈
