The recently introduced acquire/release accessors refer to smp_mb()
in the !CONFIG_SMP case. This is confusing when reading the code, so use
barrier() directly when we know we're UP.

Now that all callers of the barrier macros are updated to pass the
mandatory options, update the macros so the option is actually used.

When calling our low-level barrier macros directly, we can often suffice
with more relaxed behaviour than the default "all accesses, full system"
option.

This patch updates the users of dsb() to specify the option which they
actually require.

Commit 8adbf57f ("irqchip: gic: use dmb ishst instead of dsb when
raising a softirq") added an explicit dmb(...) call to the GIC driver.

This patch adds a simple dmb() macro to arm64, which expands to a DMB SY
instruction.

The dsb instruction takes an option specifying both the target access
types and shareability domain.

This patch allows such an option to be passed to the dsb macro,
resulting in potentially more efficient code. Currently the option is
ignored until all callers are updated (unlike ARM, the option is
mandated by the assembler).

A number of situations currently require the heavyweight smp_mb(),
even though there is no need to order prior stores against later
loads.  Many architectures have much cheaper ways to handle these
situations, but the Linux kernel currently has no portable way
to make use of them.

This commit therefore supplies smp_load_acquire() and
smp_store_release() to remedy this situation.  The new
smp_load_acquire() primitive orders the specified load against
any subsequent reads or writes, while the new smp_store_release()
primitive orders the specifed store against any prior reads or
writes.  These primitives allow array-based circular FIFOs to be
implemented without an smp_mb(), and also allow a theoretical
hole in rcu_assign_pointer() to be closed at no additional
expense on most architectures.

In addition, the RCU experience transitioning from explicit
smp_read_barrier_depends() and smp_wmb() to rcu_dereference()
and rcu_assign_pointer(), respectively resulted in substantial
improvements in readability.  It therefore seems likely that
replacing other explicit barriers with smp_load_acquire() and
smp_store_release() will provide similar benefits.  It appears
that roughly half of the explicit barriers in core kernel code
might be so replaced.
