Will Deacon bd024e82e4 asm-generic/mmiowb: Allow mmiowb_set_pending() when preemptible()
Although mmiowb() is concerned only with serialising MMIO writes occuring
in contexts where a spinlock is held, the call to mmiowb_set_pending()
from the MMIO write accessors can occur in preemptible contexts, such
as during driver probe() functions where ordering between CPUs is not
usually a concern, assuming that the task migration path provides the
necessary ordering guarantees.

Unfortunately, the default implementation of mmiowb_set_pending() is not
preempt-safe, as it makes use of a a per-cpu variable to track its
internal state. This has been reported to generate the following splat
on riscv:

 | BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: swapper/0/1
 | caller is regmap_mmio_write32le+0x1c/0x46
 | CPU: 3 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.8.0-rc3-hfu+ #1
 | Call Trace:
 |  walk_stackframe+0x0/0x7a

 |  regmap_mmio_write32le+0x18/0x46

 |  regmap_mmio_write+0x26/0x44
 |  regmap_write+0x28/0x48
 |  sifive_gpio_probe+0xc0/0x1da

Although it's possible to fix the driver in this case, other splats have
been seen from other drivers, including the infamous 8250 UART, and so
it's better to address this problem in the mmiowb core itself.

Fix mmiowb_set_pending() by using the raw_cpu_ptr() to get at the mmiowb
state and then only updating the 'mmiowb_pending' field if we are not
preemptible (i.e. we have a non-zero nesting count).

Will Deacon d1be6a28b1 asm-generic/mmiowb: Add generic implementation of mmiowb() tracking
In preparation for removing all explicit mmiowb() calls from driver
code, implement a tracking system in asm-generic based loosely on the
PowerPC implementation. This allows architectures with a non-empty
mmiowb() definition to have the barrier automatically inserted in
spin_unlock() following a critical section containing an I/O write.
