*	arm64: atomics: fix grossly inconsistent asm constraints for exclusives	Will Deacon	2013-02-11	1	-66/+66
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	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.

*	arm64: Atomic operations	Catalin Marinas	2012-09-17	1	-0/+305
	This patch introduces the atomic, mutex and futex operations. Many atomic operations use the load-acquire and store-release operations which imply barriers, avoiding the need for explicit DMB.
