3a0310eb36 arm64: atomics: fix grossly inconsistent asm constraints for exclusives
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.

08e875c16a arm64: SMP support
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.
