Hi all,

This is a version five of the patches previously posted by Andrew here:

  v4: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190828175009.15457-1-andrew.murray@arm.com

The reason I'm posting this is because I spotted an issue with the above
when queuing it for 5.4 and fixing it ended up with me spinning a few
patches on top.

The basic problem is that by implementing our atomic routines using a
static key to select between the LL/SC and LSE variant, we rely on
CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL and therefore CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO because otherwise the
static key implementation itself is implementing using atomic routines,
which leads to complete disaster.

This patch series builds on top of Andrew's patches, with the following
changes:

  * Tidying up the header files in preparation for...
  * ...making LSE depend on JUMP_LABEL
  * Support for the 'K' constraint when it looks like it works
  * Minor massaging of commit logs

This means that LSE atomics are not available for in-kernel use when
building with a version of clang without 'asm goto' support. I really
don't see a way around this, but I've been told that clang-9 should
have this support so that's at least something.

Will
