Peter Zijlstra e490f9b1d3 locking/atomic, arch/arm64: Implement atomic{,64}_fetch_{add,sub,and,andnot,or,xor}{,_relaxed,_acquire,_release}()
Implement FETCH-OP atomic primitives, these are very similar to the
existing OP-RETURN primitives we already have, except they return the
value of the atomic variable _before_ modification.

This is especially useful for irreversible operations -- such as
bitops (because it becomes impossible to reconstruct the state prior
to modification).

   merged from tip/irq/for-arm to allow the arm64-specific part to be

 - CPU feature detection reworked to cope with heterogeneous systems

   space, though the latter only depending on EXPERT
 
 - Implement native {relaxed, acquire, release} atomics for arm64

Will Deacon 305d454aaa arm64: atomics: implement native {relaxed, acquire, release} atomics
Commit 654672d4ba ("locking/atomics: Add _{acquire|release|relaxed}()
variants of some atomic operation") introduced a relaxed atomic API to
Linux that maps nicely onto the arm64 memory model, including the new
ARMv8.1 atomic instructions.

This patch hooks up the API to our relaxed atomic instructions, rather
than have them all expand to the full-barrier variants as they do
currently.

Peter Zijlstra 62e8a3258b atomic, arch: Audit atomic_{read,set}()
This patch makes sure that atomic_{read,set}() are at least
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE().

We already had the 'requirement' that atomic_read() should use
ACCESS_ONCE(), and most archs had this, but a few were lacking.
All are now converted to use READ_ONCE().

And, by a symmetry and general paranoia argument, upgrade atomic_set()
to use WRITE_ONCE().

On CPUs which support the LSE atomic instructions introduced in ARMv8.1,
it makes sense to use them in preference to ll/sc sequences.

This patch introduces runtime patching of atomic_t and atomic64_t
routines so that the call-site for the out-of-line ll/sc sequences is
patched with an LSE atomic instruction when we detect that
the CPU supports it.

If binutils is not recent enough to assemble the LSE instructions, then
the ll/sc sequences are inlined as though CONFIG_ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS=n.

Will Deacon c0385b24af arm64: introduce CONFIG_ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS as fallback to ll/sc atomics
In order to patch in the new atomic instructions at runtime, we need to
generate wrappers around the out-of-line exclusive load/store atomics.

This patch adds a new Kconfig option, CONFIG_ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS. which
causes our atomic functions to branch to the out-of-line ll/sc
implementations. To avoid the register spill overhead of the PCS, the
out-of-line functions are compiled with specific compiler flags to
force out-of-line save/restore of any registers that are usually
caller-saved.

Will Deacon 8e86f0b409 arm64: atomics: fix use of acquire + release for full barrier semantics
Linux requires a number of atomic operations to provide full barrier
semantics, that is no memory accesses after the operation can be
observed before any accesses up to and including the operation in
program order.

On arm64, these operations have been incorrectly implemented as follows:

	// A, B, C are independent memory locations

	<Access [A]>

	// atomic_op (B)
1:	ldaxr	x0, [B]		// Exclusive load with acquire
	<op(B)>
	stlxr	w1, x0, [B]	// Exclusive store with release
	cbnz	w1, 1b

	<Access [C]>

The assumption here being that two half barriers are equivalent to a
full barrier, so the only permitted ordering would be A -> B -> C
(where B is the atomic operation involving both a load and a store).

Unfortunately, this is not the case by the letter of the architecture
and, in fact, the accesses to A and C are permitted to pass their
nearest half barrier resulting in orderings such as Bl -> A -> C -> Bs
or Bl -> C -> A -> Bs (where Bl is the load-acquire on B and Bs is the
store-release on B). This is a clear violation of the full barrier
requirement.

The simple way to fix this is to implement the same algorithm as ARMv7
using explicit barriers:

	<Access [A]>

	// atomic_op (B)
	dmb	ish		// Full barrier
1:	ldxr	x0, [B]		// Exclusive load
	<op(B)>
	stxr	w1, x0, [B]	// Exclusive store
	cbnz	w1, 1b
	dmb	ish		// Full barrier

	<Access [C]>

but this has the undesirable effect of introducing *two* full barrier
instructions. A better approach is actually the following, non-intuitive
sequence:

	<Access [A]>

	// atomic_op (B)
1:	ldxr	x0, [B]		// Exclusive load
	<op(B)>
	stlxr	w1, x0, [B]	// Exclusive store with release
	cbnz	w1, 1b
	dmb	ish		// Full barrier

	<Access [C]>

The simple observations here are:

  - The dmb ensures that no subsequent accesses (e.g. the access to C)
    can enter or pass the atomic sequence.

  - The dmb also ensures that no prior accesses (e.g. the access to A)
    can pass the atomic sequence.

  - Therefore, no prior access can pass a subsequent access, or
    vice-versa (i.e. A is strictly ordered before C).

  - The stlxr ensures that no prior access can pass the store component
    of the atomic operation.

The only tricky part remaining is the ordering between the ldxr and the
access to A, since the absence of the first dmb means that we're now
permitting re-ordering between the ldxr and any prior accesses.

From an (arbitrary) observer's point of view, there are two scenarios:

  1. We have observed the ldxr. This means that if we perform a store to
     [B], the ldxr will still return older data. If we can observe the
     ldxr, then we can potentially observe the permitted re-ordering
     with the access to A, which is clearly an issue when compared to
     the dmb variant of the code. Thankfully, the exclusive monitor will
     save us here since it will be cleared as a result of the store and
     the ldxr will retry. Notice that any use of a later memory
     observation to imply observation of the ldxr will also imply
     observation of the access to A, since the stlxr/dmb ensure strict
     ordering.

  2. We have not observed the ldxr. This means we can perform a store
     and influence the later ldxr. However, that doesn't actually tell
     us anything about the access to [A], so we've not lost anything
     here either when compared to the dmb variant.

This patch implements this solution for our barriered atomic operations,
ensuring that we satisfy the full barrier requirements where they are
needed.

Chen Gang aed3a4ed72 ARM: 7868/1: arm/arm64: remove atomic_clear_mask() in "include/asm/atomic.h"
In current kernel wide source code, except other architectures, only
s390 scsi drivers use atomic_clear_mask(), and arm/arm64 need not
support s390 drivers.

So remove atomic_clear_mask() from "arm[64]/include/asm/atomic.h".

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.
