2014-12-18arm64/spinlock: Replace ACCESS_ONCE READ_ONCEChristian Borntraeger
ACCESS_ONCE does not work reliably on non-scalar types. For example gcc 4.6 and 4.7 might remove the volatile tag for such accesses during the SRA (scalar replacement of aggregates) step (https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145) Change the spinlock code to replace ACCESS_ONCE with READ_ONCE.

2014-02-07arm64: asm: remove redundant "cc" clobbersWill Deacon
cbnz/tbnz don't update the condition flags, so remove the "cc" clobbers from inline asm blocks that only use these instructions to implement conditional branches. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2013-10-24arm64: lockref: add support for lockless lockrefs using cmpxchgWill Deacon
Our spinlocks are only 32-bit (2x16-bit tickets) and our cmpxchg can deal with 8-bytes (as one would hope!). This patch wires up the cmpxchg-based lockless lockref implementation for arm64. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2013-10-24arm64: locks: introduce ticket-based spinlock implementationWill Deacon
This patch introduces a ticket lock implementation for arm64, along the same lines as the implementation for arch/arm/. Reviewed-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2013-06-07arm64: spinlock: retry trylock operation if strex fails on free lockCatalin Marinas
An exclusive store instruction may fail for reasons other than lock contention (e.g. a cache eviction during the critical section) so, in line with other architectures using similar exclusive instructions (alpha, mips, powerpc), retry the trylock operation if the lock appears to be free but the strex reported failure.

2013-02-11arm64: atomics: fix grossly inconsistent asm constraints for exclusivesWill Deacon
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.

2012-09-17arm64: SMP supportCatalin Marinas
This patch adds SMP initialisation and spinlocks implementation for AArch64. The spinlock support uses the new load-acquire/store-release instructions to avoid explicit barriers. The architecture also specifies that an event is automatically generated when clearing the exclusive monitor state to wake up processors in WFE, so there is no need for an explicit DSB/SEV instruction sequence. The SEVL instruction is used to set the exclusive monitor locally as there is no conditional WFE and a branch is more expensive. For the SMP booting protocol, see Documentation/arm64/booting.txt.
