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 atomic access implementations with pldw
instructions (on CPUs which support them) to try and grab the line in
exclusive state from the start. Only the barrier-less functions are
updated, since memory barriers can limit the usefulness of prefetching
data.

To ease page table updates with 64-bit descriptors, CPUs implementing
LPAE are required to implement ldrd/strd as atomic operations.

This patch uses these accessors instead of the exclusive variants when
performing atomic64_{read,set} on LPAE systems.

After changing all consumers of atomics to include <linux/atomic.h>, we
ran into some compile time errors due to this dependency chain:

linux/atomic.h
  -> asm/atomic.h
    -> asm-generic/atomic-long.h

where atomic-long.h could use funcs defined later in linux/atomic.h
without a prototype.  This patches moves the code that includes
asm-generic/atomic*.h to linux/atomic.h.

Archs that need <asm-generic/atomic64.h> need to select
CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64 from now on (some of them used to include it
unconditionally).

Currently, the 32-bit and 64-bit atomic operations on ARM do not
include memory constraints in the inline assembly blocks. In the
case of barrier-less operations [for example, atomic_add], this
means that the compiler may constant fold values which have actually
been modified by a call to an atomic operation.

This issue can be observed in the atomic64_test routine in
<kernel root>/lib/atomic64_test.c:

The atomic64_set (0x38-0x44) writes to the atomic64_t, but the
compiler doesn't see this, assumes the test condition is always
false and generates an unconditional branch to __bug. The rest of the
test is optimised away.

This patch adds suitable memory constraints to the atomic operations on ARM
to ensure that the compiler is informed of the correct data hazards. We have
to use the "Qo" constraints to avoid hitting the GCC anomaly described at
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44492 , where the compiler
makes assumptions about the writeback in the addressing mode used by the
inline assembly. These constraints forbid the use of auto{inc,dec} addressing
modes, so it doesn't matter if we don't use the operand exactly once.

The atomic64_add_unless function compares an atomic variable with
a given value and, if they are not equal, adds another given value
to the atomic variable. The function returns zero if the addition
did not occur and non-zero otherwise.

On ARM, the return value is initialised to 1 in C code. Inline assembly
code then performs the atomic64_add_unless operation, setting the
return value to 0 iff the addition does not occur. This means that
when the addition *does* occur, the value of ret must be preserved
across the inline assembly and therefore requires a "+r" constraint
rather than the current one of "=&r".

Thanks to Nicolas Pitre for helping to spot this.

This patch adds atomic64 support to the ARM architecture. v6k and above
make use of new instructions whilst older cores fall back on the generic
solution using spinlocks. If and when v7-M cores are supported by Linux,
they will need to fall back on the spinlock implementation too.

The patch adds a CLREX or dummy STREX to the exception return path. This
is needed because several atomic/locking operations use a pair of
LDREX/STREXEQ and the EQ condition may not always be satisfied. This
would leave the exclusive monitor status set and may cause problems with
atomic/locking operations in the interrupted code.

With this patch, the atomic_set() operation can be a simple STR
instruction (on SMP systems, the global exclusive monitor is cleared by
STR anyway). Clearing the exclusive monitor during context switch is no
longer needed as this is handled by the exception return path anyway.

Mathieu Desnoyers pointed out that the ARM barriers were lacking:

- cmpxchg, xchg and atomic add return need memory barriers on
  architectures which can reorder the relative order in which memory
  read/writes can be seen between CPUs, which seems to include recent
  ARM architectures. Those barriers are currently missing on ARM.

- test_and_xxx_bit were missing SMP barriers.

So put these barriers in.  Provide separate atomic_add/atomic_sub
operations which do not require barriers.

atomic_add_unless as inline. Remove system.h atomic.h circular dependency.
I agree (with Andi Kleen) this typeof is not needed and more error
prone. All the original atomic.h code that uses cmpxchg (which includes
the atomic_add_unless) uses defines instead of inline functions,
probably to circumvent a circular dependency between system.h and
atomic.h on powerpc (which my patch addresses). Therefore, it makes
sense to use inline functions that will provide type checking.

with this.

Several counters already have the need to use 64 atomic variables on 64 bit

on 32 bit platforms and 64 bits on 64 bit platforms.
