ARM: 7955/1: spinlock: ensure we have a compiler barrier before sev
When unlocking a spinlock, we require the following, strictly ordered
sequence of events:
<barrier> /* dmb */
<unlock>
<barrier> /* dsb */
<sev>
Whilst the code does indeed reflect this in terms of the architecture,
the final <barrier> + <sev> have been contracted into a single inline
asm without a "memory" clobber, therefore the compiler is at liberty to
reorder the unlock to the end of the above sequence. In such a case,
a waiting CPU may be woken up before the lock has been unlocked, leading
to extremely poor performance.
This patch reworks the dsb_sev() function to make use of the dsb()
macro and ensure ordering against the unlock.

ARM: 7854/1: lockref: add support for lockless lockrefs using cmpxchg64
Our spinlocks are only 32-bit (2x16-bit tickets) and, on processors
with 64-bit atomic instructions, cmpxchg64 makes use of the double-word
exclusive accessors.
This patch wires up the cmpxchg-based lockless lockref implementation
for ARM.

ARM: locks: prefetch the destination word for write prior to strex
The cost of changing a cacheline from shared to exclusive state can be
significant, especially when this is triggered by an exclusive store,
since it may result in having to retry the transaction.
This patch prefixes our {spin,read,write}_[try]lock implementations with
pldw instructions (on CPUs which support them) to try and grab the line
in exclusive state from the start. arch_rwlock_t is changed to avoid
using a volatile member, since this generates compiler warnings when
falling back on the __builtin_prefetch intrinsic which expects a const
void * argument.

ARM: smp_on_up: move inline asm ALT_SMP patching macro out of spinlock.h
Patching UP/SMP alternatives inside inline assembly blocks is useful
outside of the spinlock implementation, where it is used for sev and wfe.
This patch lifts the macro into processor.h and gives it a scarier name
to (a) avoid conflicts in the global namespace and (b) to try and deter
its usage unless you "know what you're doing". The W macro for generating
wide instructions when targetting Thumb-2 is also made available under
the name WASM, to reduce the potential for conflicts with other headers.

ARM: spinlock: use inner-shareable dsb variant prior to sev instruction
When unlocking a spinlock, we use the sev instruction to signal other
CPUs waiting on the lock. Since sev is not a memory access instruction,
we require a dsb in order to ensure that the sev is not issued ahead
of the store placing the lock in an unlocked state.
However, as sev is only concerned with other processors in a
multiprocessor system, we can restrict the scope of the preceding dsb
to the inner-shareable domain. Furthermore, we can restrict the scope to
consider only stores, since there are no independent loads on the unlock
path.
A side-effect of this change is that a spin_unlock operation no longer
forces completion of pending TLB invalidation, something which we rely
on when unlocking runqueues to ensure that CPU migration during TLB
maintenance routines doesn't cause us to continue before the operation
has completed.
This patch adds the -ishst suffix to the ARMv7 definition of dsb_sev()
and adds an inner-shareable dsb to the context-switch path when running
a preemptible, SMP, v7 kernel.

ARM: 7632/1: spinlock: avoid exclusive accesses on unlock() path
When unlocking a spinlock, all we need to do is increment the owner

ARM: 7446/1: spinlock: use ticket algorithm for ARMv6+ locking implementation
Ticket spinlocks ensure locking fairness by introducing a FIFO-like
nature to the granting of lock acquisitions and also reducing the
thundering herd effect when spinning on a lock by allowing the cacheline
to remain in a shared state amongst the waiting CPUs. This is especially
important on systems where memory-access times are not necessarily
uniform when accessing the lock structure (for example, on a
multi-cluster platform where the lock is allocated into L1 when a CPU
releases it).
This patch implements the ticket spinlock algorithm for ARM, replacing
the simpler implementation for ARMv6+ processors.

SMP requires at least the ARMv6K extensions to be present, so if we're

However, when we run on UP, the v6K extensions may not be available,
and so we don't want WFE/SEV to be in the instruction stream. Use the
SMP alternatives infrastructure to replace these instructions with NOPs
if we build for SMP but run on UP.
