[PATCH 00/18] arm64: support for 8.1 LSE atomic instructions

[will.deacon@arm.com (Will Deacon)]

Hi all,

This patch series adds support for the new atomic instructions,
introduced as part of the Large System Extension in ARMv8.1, to the
Linux kernel.

Whilst the new instructions can be configured out at compile time via
the CONFIG_ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS option, we make heavy use of alternative
patching to ensure that we can continue to boot a kernel Image anywhere,
regardless of the CPU support.

I've tested this on Juno, Seattle and Hikey (none of which have the new
instructions) and also on the FastModel with 8.1 enabled.

Feedback welcome,

Will
