Linus Torvalds e2a3d40258 power: improve inline asm memory constraints
Use "+m" rather than a combination of "=m" and "m" for improved
clarity and consistency.

Nick Piggin f055affb89 [PATCH] powerpc: native atomic_add_unless
Do atomic_add_unless natively instead of using cmpxchg.
Improved register allocation idea from Joel Schopp.

Anton Blanchard 144b9c135b [PATCH] powerpc: use lwsync in atomics, bitops, lock functions
eieio is only a store - store ordering. When used to order an unlock
operation loads may leak out of the critical region. This is potentially
buggy, one example is if a user wants to atomically read a couple of
values.

We can solve this with an lwsync which orders everything except store - load.

I removed the (now unused) EIEIO_ON_SMP macros and the c versions
isync_on_smp and eieio_on_smp now we dont use them. I also removed some
old comments that were used to identify inline spinlocks in assembly,
they dont make sense now our locks are out of line.

Another interesting thing was that read_unlock was using an eieio even
though the rest of the spinlock code had already been converted to
use lwsync.

Christoph Lameter d3cb487149 [PATCH] atomic_long_t & include/asm-generic/atomic.h V2
Several counters already have the need to use 64 atomic variables on 64 bit
platforms (see mm_counter_t in sched.h).  We have to do ugly ifdefs to fall
back to 32 bit atomic on 32 bit platforms.

The VM statistics patch that I am working on will also make more extensive
use of atomic64.

This patch introduces a new type atomic_long_t by providing definitions in
asm-generic/atomic.h that works similar to the c "long" type.  Its 32 bits
on 32 bit platforms and 64 bits on 64 bit platforms.

Also cleans up the determination of the mm_counter_t in sched.h.

Nick Piggin 8426e1f6af [PATCH] atomic: inc_not_zero
Introduce an atomic_inc_not_zero operation.  Make this a special case of
atomic_add_unless because lockless pagecache actually wants
atomic_inc_not_negativeone due to its offset refcount.

David Gibson 3ddfbcf19b [PATCH] powerpc: Consolidate asm compatibility macros
This patch consolidates macros used to generate assembly for
compatibility across different CPUs or configs.  A new header,
asm-powerpc/asm-compat.h contains the main compatibility macros.  It
uses some preprocessor magic to make the macros suitable both for use
in .S files, and in inline asm in .c files.  Headers (bitops.h,
uaccess.h, atomic.h, bug.h) which had their own such compatibility
macros are changed to use asm-compat.h.

ppc_asm.h is now for use in .S files *only*, and a #error enforces
that.  As such, we're a lot more careless about namespace pollution
here than in asm-compat.h.

While we're at it, this patch adds a call to the PPC405_ERR77 macro in
futex.h which should have had it already, but didn't.

Built and booted on pSeries, Maple and iSeries (ARCH=powerpc).  Built
for 32-bit powermac (ARCH=powerpc) and Walnut (ARCH=ppc).

Becky Bruce feaf7cf153 [PATCH] powerpc: merge atomic.h, memory.h
powerpc: Merge atomic.h and memory.h into powerpc

Merged atomic.h into include/powerpc.  Moved asm-style HMT_ defines from
memory.h into ppc_asm.h, where there were already HMT_defines; moved c-style
HMT_ defines to processor.h. Renamed memory.h to synch.h to better reflect
its contents.
