Will Deacon 03110a5cb2 arm64: futex: Bound number of LDXR/STXR loops in FUTEX_WAKE_OP
Our futex implementation makes use of LDXR/STXR loops to perform atomic
updates to user memory from atomic context. This can lead to latency
problems if we end up spinning around the LL/SC sequence at the expense
of doing something useful.

Rework our futex atomic operations so that we return -EAGAIN if we fail
to update the futex word after 128 attempts. The core futex code will
reschedule if necessary and we'll try again later.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
