Implement atomic primitives using exclusive access opcodes available in
the recent xtensa cores.
Since l32ex/s32ex don't have any memory ordering guarantees don't define
__smp_mb__before_atomic/__smp_mb__after_atomic to make them use memw.

These headers are not exported to userspace, so they're never used
without __KERNEL__ defined. Drop these ifdef statements.

Many of the inc/dec ops are mandatory, but for most architectures inc/dec are
simply trivial wrappers around their corresponding add/sub ops.

Let's make all the inc/dec ops optional, so that we can get rid of these
boilerplate wrappers.

The instrumented atomics are updated accordingly.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

<title>atomics/treewide: Make test ops optional</title>

Some of the atomics return the result of a test applied after the atomic
operation, and almost all architectures implement these as trivial
wrappers around the underlying atomic. Specifically:

 * &lt;atomic&gt;_inc_and_test(v)    is (&lt;atomic&gt;_inc_return(v)    == 0)
 * &lt;atomic&gt;_dec_and_test(v)    is (&lt;atomic&gt;_dec_return(v)    == 0)
 * &lt;atomic&gt;_sub_and_test(i, v) is (&lt;atomic&gt;_sub_return(i, v) == 0)
 * &lt;atomic&gt;_add_negative(i, v) is (&lt;atomic&gt;_add_return(i, v)  &lt; 0)

Rather than have these definitions duplicated in all architectures, with
minor inconsistencies in formatting and documentation, let's make these
operations optional, with default fallbacks as above. Implementations
must now provide a preprocessor symbol.

The instrumented atomics are updated accordingly.

Both x86 and m68k have custom implementations, which are left as-is,
given preprocessor symbols to avoid being overridden.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

<title>atomics/treewide: Make atomic_fetch_add_unless() optional</title>

Several architectures these have a near-identical implementation based
on atomic_read() and atomic_cmpxchg() which we can instead define in
&lt;linux/atomic.h&gt;, so let's do so, using something close to the existing
x86 implementation with try_cmpxchg().

Where an architecture provides its own atomic_fetch_add_unless(), it
must define a preprocessor symbol for it. The instrumented atomics are
updated accordingly.

Note that arch/arc's existing atomic_fetch_add_unless() had redundant
barriers, as these are already present in its atomic_cmpxchg()
implementation.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

<title>atomics/treewide: Rename __atomic_add_unless() =&gt; atomic_fetch_add_unless()</title>

<id>bfc18e389c7a09fbbbed6bf4032396685b14246e</id>
<content type='text'>
While __atomic_add_unless() was originally intended as a building-block
for atomic_add_unless(), it's now used in a number of places around the
kernel. It's the only common atomic operation named __atomic*(), rather
than atomic_*(), and for consistency it would be better named
atomic_fetch_add_unless().

This lack of consistency is slightly confusing, and gets in the way of
scripting atomics. Given that, let's clean things up and promote it to
an official part of the atomics API, in the form of
atomic_fetch_add_unless().

This patch converts definitions and invocations over to the new name,
including the instrumented version, using the following script:

  ----
  git grep -w __atomic_add_unless | while read line; do
  sed -i '{s/\&lt;__atomic_add_unless\&gt;/atomic_fetch_add_unless/}' "${line%%:*}";
  done
  git grep -w __arch_atomic_add_unless | while read line; do
  sed -i '{s/\&lt;__arch_atomic_add_unless\&gt;/arch_atomic_fetch_add_unless/}' "${line%%:*}";
  done
  ----

Note that we do not have atomic{64,_long}_fetch_add_unless(), which will
be introduced by later patches.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Implement FETCH-OP atomic primitives, these are very similar to the
existing OP-RETURN primitives we already have, except they return the
value of the atomic variable _before_ modification.

This is especially useful for irreversible operations -- such as
bitops (because it becomes impossible to reconstruct the state prior
to modification).

This patch makes sure that atomic_{read,set}() are at least
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE().

We already had the 'requirement' that atomic_read() should use
ACCESS_ONCE(), and most archs had this, but a few were lacking.
All are now converted to use READ_ONCE().

And, by a symmetry and general paranoia argument, upgrade atomic_set()
to use WRITE_ONCE().

Pull locking and atomic updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Main changes in this cycle are:

   - Extend atomic primitives with coherent logic op primitives
     (atomic_{or,and,xor}()) and deprecate the old partial APIs
     (atomic_{set,clear}_mask())

     The old ops were incoherent with incompatible signatures across
     architectures and with incomplete support.  Now every architecture
     supports the primitives consistently (by Peter Zijlstra)

   - Generic support for 'relaxed atomics':

       - _acquire/release/relaxed() flavours of xchg(), cmpxchg() and {add,sub}_return()
       - atomic_read_acquire()
       - atomic_set_release()

     This came out of porting qwrlock code to arm64 (by Will Deacon)

   - Clean up the fragile static_key APIs that were causing repeat bugs,
     by introducing a new one:

       DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(name);
       DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(name);

     which define a key of different types with an initial true/false
     value.

     Then allow:

       static_branch_likely()
       static_branch_unlikely()

     to take a key of either type and emit the right instruction for the
     case.  To be able to know the 'type' of the static key we encode it
     in the jump entry (by Peter Zijlstra)

   - Static key self-tests (by Jason Baron)

   - qrwlock optimizations (by Waiman Long)

   - small futex enhancements (by Davidlohr Bueso)

   - ... and misc other changes"
