Will Deacon 4da7a56c59 arm64: futex: ensure .fixup entries are sufficiently aligned
AArch64 instructions must be 4-byte aligned, so make sure this is true
for the futex .fixup section.

Will Deacon 3a0310eb36 arm64: atomics: fix grossly inconsistent asm constraints for exclusives
Our uses of inline asm constraints for atomic operations are fairly
wild and varied. We basically need to guarantee the following:

  1. Any instructions with barrier implications
     (load-acquire/store-release) have a "memory" clobber

  2. When performing exclusive accesses, the addresing mode is generated
     using the "Q" constraint

  3. Atomic blocks which use the condition flags, have a "cc" clobber

This patch addresses these concerns which, as well as fixing the
semantics of the code, stops GCC complaining about impossible asm
constraints.

Catalin Marinas 6170a97460 arm64: Atomic operations
This patch introduces the atomic, mutex and futex operations. Many
atomic operations use the load-acquire and store-release operations
which imply barriers, avoiding the need for explicit DMB.
