When i tried to apply the GrSecurity patch on linux kernel 3.10 and there the
patch actually modifies atomic_set to atomic_set_unchecked. When i checked
the gcc patch to compile this code it just redefines atomic_set as
atomic_set_unchecked. So what is the use of changing the function name.?? Am
I missing something here(i.e have they given a new definition for this
function anywhere else). And i would also like to know what this
function(atomic_set_unchecked. I know about the atomic_set function) is
used for.

Isn't this a question for the grsecurity developers?
