The ioread/iowrite accessors also need barriers as they're used in
place of readl/writel et.al. in portable drivers. Create __iormb()
and __iowmb() which are conditionally defined to be barriers dependent
on ARM_DMA_MEM_BUFFERABLE, and always use these macros in the accessors.

When the coherent DMA buffers are mapped as Normal Non-cacheable
(ARM_DMA_MEM_BUFFERABLE enabled), buffer accesses are no longer ordered
with Device memory accesses causing failures in device drivers that do
not use the mandatory memory barriers before starting a DMA transfer.
LKML discussions led to the conclusion that such barriers have to be
added to the I/O accessors:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/683509/focus=686153
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/46414
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/5250
This patch introduces a wmb() barrier to the write*() I/O accessors to
handle the situations where Normal Non-cacheable writes are still in the
processor (or L2 cache controller) write buffer before a DMA transfer
command is issued. For the read*() accessors, a rmb() is introduced
after the I/O to avoid speculative loads where the driver polls for a
DMA transfer ready bit.

This patch introduces readl*_relaxed()/write*_relaxed() as the main I/O
accessors (when __mem_pci is defined). The standard read*()/write*()
macros are now based on the relaxed accessors.
This patch is in preparation for a subsequent patch which adds barriers
to the I/O accessors.

Currently, the 32-bit and 64-bit atomic operations on ARM do not
include memory constraints in the inline assembly blocks. In the
case of barrier-less operations [for example, atomic_add], this
means that the compiler may constant fold values which have actually
been modified by a call to an atomic operation.
This issue can be observed in the atomic64_test routine in
<kernel root>/lib/atomic64_test.c:

50: ebfffffe bl 0 <__bug>
54: 00000000 .word 0x00000000
The atomic64_set (0x38-0x44) writes to the atomic64_t, but the
compiler doesn't see this, assumes the test condition is always
false and generates an unconditional branch to __bug. The rest of the
test is optimised away.
This patch adds suitable memory constraints to the atomic operations on ARM
to ensure that the compiler is informed of the correct data hazards. We have
to use the "Qo" constraints to avoid hitting the GCC anomaly described at
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44492 , where the compiler
makes assumptions about the writeback in the addressing mode used by the
inline assembly. These constraints forbid the use of auto{inc,dec} addressing
modes, so it doesn't matter if we don't use the operand exactly once.

The atomic64_add_unless function compares an atomic variable with
a given value and, if they are not equal, adds another given value
to the atomic variable. The function returns zero if the addition
did not occur and non-zero otherwise.
On ARM, the return value is initialised to 1 in C code. Inline assembly
code then performs the atomic64_add_unless operation, setting the
return value to 0 iff the addition does not occur. This means that
when the addition *does* occur, the value of ret must be preserved
across the inline assembly and therefore requires a "+r" constraint
rather than the current one of "=&r".
Thanks to Nicolas Pitre for helping to spot this.

Linux expects that if a CPU modifies a memory location, then that
modification will eventually become visible to other CPUs in the system.
On an ARM11MPCore processor, loads are prioritised over stores so it is
possible for a store operation to be postponed if a polling loop immediately
follows it. If the variable being polled indirectly depends on the outstanding
store [for example, another CPU may be polling the variable that is pending
modification] then there is the potential for deadlock if interrupts are
disabled. This deadlock occurs in the KGDB testsuire when executing on an
SMP ARM11MPCore configuration.
This patch changes the definition of cpu_relax() to smp_mb() for ARMv6 cores,
forcing a flushing of the write buffer on SMP systems before the next load
takes place. If the Kernel is not compiled for SMP support, this will expand
to a barrier() as before.

The ARM perf-events framework provides support for a number of different
PMUs using struct arm_pmu. The char *name field of this struct can be
used to identify the PMU, but this is cumbersome if used outside of perf.
This patch replaces the name string for a PMU with an enum, which holds
a unique ID for the PMU being represented. This ID can be used to index
an array of names within perf, so no functionality is lost. The presence
of the ID field, allows other kernel subsystems [currently oprofile] to
use their own mappings for the PMU name.

The current PMU infrastructure for ARM requires that the IRQs for the PMU
device are fixed at compile time and are selected based on the ARCH_ or MACH_ flags. This has the disadvantage of tying the Kernel down to a
particular board as far as profiling is concerned.
This patch replaces the compile-time IRQ registration with a runtime mechanism which allows the IRQs to be registered with the framework as
a platform_device.
A further advantage of this change is that there is scope for registering
different types of performance counters in the future by changing the id
of the platform_device and attaching different resources to it.

The VIVT cache of a highmem page is always flushed before the page
is unmapped. This cache flush is explicit through flush_cache_kmaps()
in flush_all_zero_pkmaps(), or through __cpuc_flush_dcache_area() in
kunmap_atomic(). There is also an implicit flush of those highmem pages
that were part of a process that just terminated making those pages free
as the whole VIVT cache has to be flushed on every task switch. Hence
unmapped highmem pages need no cache maintenance in that case.
However unmapped pages may still be cached with a VIPT cache because the
cache is tagged with physical addresses. There is no need for a whole
cache flush during task switching for that reason, and despite the
explicit cache flushes in flush_all_zero_pkmaps() and kunmap_atomic(),
some highmem pages that were mapped in user space end up still cached
even when they become unmapped.
So, we do have to perform cache maintenance on those unmapped highmem
pages in the context of DMA when using a VIPT cache. Unfortunately,
it is not possible to perform that cache maintenance using physical
addresses as all the L1 cache maintenance coprocessor functions accept
virtual addresses only. Therefore we have no choice but to set up a
temporary virtual mapping for that purpose.
And of course the explicit cache flushing when unmapping a highmem page
on a system with a VIPT cache now can go, which should increase
performance.
While at it, because the code in __flush_dcache_page() has to be modified
anyway, let's also make sure the mapped highmem pages are pinned with
kmap_high_get() for the duration of the cache maintenance operation.
Because kunmap() does unmap highmem pages lazily, it was reported by
Gary King <GKing@nvidia.com> that those pages ended up being unmapped
during cache maintenance on SMP causing segmentation faults.

The mandatory barriers (mb, rmb, wmb) are used even on uniprocessor
systems for things like ordering Normal Non-cacheable memory accesses
with DMA transfer (via Device memory writes). The current implementation
uses dmb() for mb() and friends but this is not sufficient. The DMB only
ensures the relative ordering of the observability of accesses by other
processors or devices acting as masters. In case of DMA transfers
started by writes to device memory, the relative ordering is not ensured
because accesses to slave ports of a device are not considered
observable by the DMB definition.
A DSB is required for the data to reach the main memory (even if mapped
as Normal Non-cacheable) before the device receives the notification to
begin the transfer. Furthermore, some L2 cache controllers (like L2x0 or
PL310) buffer stores to Normal Non-cacheable memory and this would need
to be drained with the outer_sync() function call.
The patch also allows platforms to define their own mandatory barriers
implementation by selecting CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_BARRIERS and providing a
mach/barriers.h file.
Note that the SMP barriers are unchanged (being DMBs as before) since
they are only guaranteed to work with Normal Cacheable memory.
