This defines __smp_xxx barriers for sparc,
for use by virtualization.
smp_xxx barriers are removed as they are
defined correctly by asm-generic/barriers.h

On sparc 64 bit dma_rmb, dma_wmb, smp_store_mb, smp_mb, smp_rmb,
smp_wmb, read_barrier_depends and smp_read_barrier_depends match the
asm-generic variants exactly. Drop the local definitions and pull in
asm-generic/barrier.h instead.
nop uses __asm__ __volatile but is otherwise identical to
the generic version, drop that as well.
This is in preparation to refactoring this code area.
Note: nop() was in processor.h and not in barrier.h as on other
architectures. Nothing seems to depend on it being there though.

smp_store_release()/smp_load_acquire()
Replace ACCESS_ONCE() macro in smp_store_release() and smp_load_acquire()
with WRITE_ONCE() and READ_ONCE() on x86, arm, arm64, ia64, metag, mips,
powerpc, s390, sparc and asm-generic since ACCESS_ONCE() does not work
reliably on non-scalar types.
WRITE_ONCE() and READ_ONCE() were introduced in the following commits:
230fa253df63 ("kernel: Provide READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE")
43239cbe79fc ("kernel: Change ASSIGN_ONCE(val, x) to WRITE_ONCE(x, val)")

Since set_mb() is really about an smp_mb() -- not a IO/DMA barrier
like mb() rename it to match the recent smp_load_acquire() and
smp_store_release().

Since we assume set_mb() to result in a single store followed by a
full memory barrier, employ WRITE_ONCE().

There are a number of situations where the mandatory barriers rmb() and
wmb() are used to order memory/memory operations in the device drivers
and those barriers are much heavier than they actually need to be. For
example in the case of PowerPC wmb() calls the heavy-weight sync
instruction when for coherent memory operations all that is really needed
is an lsync or eieio instruction.
This commit adds a coherent only version of the mandatory memory barriers
rmb() and wmb(). In most cases this should result in the barrier being the
same as the SMP barriers for the SMP case, however in some cases we use a
barrier that is somewhere in between rmb() and smp_rmb(). For example on
ARM the rmb barriers break down as follows:
Barrier Call Explanation
--------- -------- ----------------------------------
rmb() dsb() Data synchronization barrier - system
dma_rmb() dmb(osh) data memory barrier - outer sharable
smp_rmb() dmb(ish) data memory barrier - inner sharable
These new barriers are not as safe as the standard rmb() and wmb().
Specifically they do not guarantee ordering between coherent and incoherent
memories. The primary use case for these would be to enforce ordering of
reads and writes when accessing coherent memory that is shared between the
CPU and a device.
It may also be noted that there is no dma_mb(). Most architectures don't
provide a good mechanism for performing a coherent only full barrier without
resorting to the same mechanism used in mb(). As such there isn't much to
be gained in trying to define such a function.

This patch is meant to cleanup the handling of read_barrier_depends and
smp_read_barrier_depends. In multiple spots in the kernel headers
read_barrier_depends is defined as "do {} while (0)", however we then go
into the SMP vs non-SMP sections and have the SMP version reference
read_barrier_depends, and the non-SMP define it as yet another empty
do/while.
With this commit I went through and cleaned out the duplicate definitions
and reduced the number of definitions down to 2 per header. In addition I
moved the 50 line comments for the macro from the x86 and mips headers that
defined it as an empty do/while to those that were actually defining the
macro, alpha and blackfin.

sparc32: fully relies on asm-generic/barrier.h and thus can use its
implementation.
sparc64: is strongly ordered and its atomic ops imply a full barrier,
implement the new primitives using barrier().

A number of situations currently require the heavyweight smp_mb(),
even though there is no need to order prior stores against later
loads. Many architectures have much cheaper ways to handle these
situations, but the Linux kernel currently has no portable way
to make use of them.
This commit therefore supplies smp_load_acquire() and
smp_store_release() to remedy this situation. The new
smp_load_acquire() primitive orders the specified load against
any subsequent reads or writes, while the new smp_store_release()
primitive orders the specifed store against any prior reads or
writes. These primitives allow array-based circular FIFOs to be
implemented without an smp_mb(), and also allow a theoretical
hole in rcu_assign_pointer() to be closed at no additional
expense on most architectures.
In addition, the RCU experience transitioning from explicit
smp_read_barrier_depends() and smp_wmb() to rcu_dereference()
and rcu_assign_pointer(), respectively resulted in substantial
improvements in readability. It therefore seems likely that
replacing other explicit barriers with smp_load_acquire() and
smp_store_release() will provide similar benefits. It appears
that roughly half of the explicit barriers in core kernel code
might be so replaced.
