[PATCH 0/4] Rewrite of percpu atomics and introduction of LSE

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

Hi all,

Whilst looking at what it would take to use LSE atomics for the percpu
operations, I ended up rewriting most of our implementation to address
a number of issues I spotted.

The result is a net reduction of code, whilst at the same time avoiding
duplication, adding support for LSE and improving our manipulation of
the preempt count.

Ard -- I think most of this is orthogonal to your LSE work, since this
doesn't make use of the out-of-line atomics at all. Still, please take
a look all the same!

Cheers,

Will

  arm64: Avoid redundant type conversions in xchg() and cmpxchg()
  arm64: Avoid masking "old" for LSE cmpxchg() implementation
  arm64: percpu: Rewrite per-cpu ops to allow use of LSE atomics
  arm64: cmpxchg: Use "K" instead of "L" for ll/sc immediate constraint
