Mark Rutland 95bc0ba6be atomics: Fix atomic64_{read_acquire,set_release} fallbacks
[ Upstream commit dc1b4df09a ]

Arnd reports that on 32-bit architectures, the fallbacks for
atomic64_read_acquire() and atomic64_set_release() are broken as they
use smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release() respectively, which do
not work on types larger than the native word size.

Since those contain compiletime_assert_atomic_type(), any attempt to use
those fallbacks will result in a build-time error. e.g. with the
following added to arch/arm/kernel/setup.c:

| void test_atomic64(atomic64_t *v)
| {
|        atomic64_set_release(v, 5);
|        atomic64_read_acquire(v);
| }

The compiler will complain as follows:

| In function 'arch_atomic64_set_release',
|     inlined from 'test_atomic64' at ./include/linux/atomic/atomic-instrumented.h:669:2:

Fix this by only using smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release() for
native atomic types, and otherwise falling back to the regular barriers
necessary for acquire/release semantics, as we do in the more generic
acquire and release fallbacks.

Since the fallback templates are used to generate the atomic64_*() and
atomic_*() operations, the __native_word() check is added to both. For
the atomic_*() operations, which are always 32-bit, the __native_word()
check is redundant but not harmful, as it is always true.

For the example above this works as expected on 32-bit, e.g. for arm
multi_v7_defconfig:

| <test_atomic64>:
|         push    {r4, r5}
|         dmb     ish
|         pldw    [r0]
|         mov     r2, #5
|         mov     r3, #0
|         ldrexd  r4, [r0]
|         strexd  r4, r2, [r0]
|         teq     r4, #0
|         bne     484 <test_atomic64+0x14>
|         ldrexd  r2, [r0]
|         dmb     ish
|         pop     {r4, r5}
|         bx      lr

... and also on 64-bit, e.g. for arm64 defconfig:

| <test_atomic64>:
|         bti     c
|         paciasp
|         mov     x1, #0x5
|         stlr    x1, [x0]
|         ldar    x0, [x0]
|         autiasp
|         ret

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
