Since commit:

  9257959a6e5b4fca ("locking/atomic: scripts: restructure fallback ifdeffery")

The ordering fallbacks for atomic*_read_acquire() and
atomic*_set_release() erroneously fall back to the implictly relaxed
atomic*_read() and atomic*_set() variants respectively, without any
additional barriers. This loses the ACQUIRE and RELEASE ordering
semantics, which can result in a wide variety of problems, even on
strongly-ordered architectures where the implementation of
atomic*_read() and/or atomic*_set() allows the compiler to reorder those
relative to other accesses.

In practice this has been observed to break bit spinlocks on arm64,
resulting in dentry cache corruption.

The fallback logic was intended to allow ACQUIRE/RELEASE/RELAXED ops to
be defined in terms of FULL ops, but where an op had RELAXED ordering by
default, this unintentionally permitted the ACQUIRE/RELEASE ops to be
defined in terms of the implicitly RELAXED default.

This patch corrects the logic to avoid falling back to implicitly
RELAXED ops, resulting in the same behaviour as prior to commit
9257959a6e5b4fca.

I've verified the resulting assembly on arm64 by generating outlined
wrappers of the atomics. Prior to this patch the compiler generates
sequences using relaxed load (LDR) and store (STR) instructions, e.g.

| <outlined_atomic64_read_acquire>:
|         ldr     x0, [x0]
|         ret
|
| <outlined_atomic64_set_release>:
|         str     x1, [x0]
|         ret

With this patch applied the compiler generates sequences using the
intended load-acquire (LDAR) and store-release (STLR) instructions, e.g.

| <outlined_atomic64_read_acquire>:
|         ldar    x0, [x0]
|         ret
|
| <outlined_atomic64_set_release>:
|         stlr    x1, [x0]
|         ret

To make sure that there were no other victims of the ifdeffery rewrite,
I generated outlined copies of all of the {atomic,atomic64,atomic_long}
atomic operations before and after commit 9257959a6e5b4fca. A diff of
the generated assembly on arm64 shows that only the read_acquire() and
set_release() operations were changed, and only lost their intended
ordering:

I've build tested this with a variety of configs for alpha, arm, arm64,
csky, i386, m68k, microblaze, mips, nios2, openrisc, powerpc, riscv,
s390, sh, sparc, x86_64, and xtensa, for which I've seen no issues. I
was unable to build test for ia64 and parisc due to existing build
breakage in v6.6-rc2.

Peter, are you happy to queue this in the tip tree? It's a pretty nasty
regresssion in v6.5, and I'd like to get this in as a fix for v6.6 ASAP.

Thanks,
Mark.
