From: Will Deacon <will.deacon(a)arm.com>

commit 398aa66827155ef52bab58bebd24597d90968929 upstream.

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:

00000000 <test_atomic64>:
0: e1a0c00d mov ip, sp
4: e92dd830 push {r4, r5, fp, ip, lr, pc}
8: e24cb004 sub fp, ip, #4
c: e24dd008 sub sp, sp, #8
10: e24b3014 sub r3, fp, #20

18: e3011337 movw r1, #4919 ; 0x1337
1c: e34c0001 movt r0, #49153 ; 0xc001

30: e34d0eaf movt r0, #57007 ; 0xdeaf
34: e34d1ead movt r1, #57005 ; 0xdead
38: e1b34f9f ldrexd r4, [r3]
3c: e1a34f90 strexd r4, r0, [r3]
40: e3340000 teq r4, #0
44: 1afffffb bne 38 <test_atomic64+0x38>
48: e59f0004 ldr r0, [pc, #4] ; 54 <test_atomic64+0x54>
4c: e3a0101e mov r1, #30
50: ebfffffe bl 0 <__bug>
54: 00000000 .word 0x00000000

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.
