Will Deacon 5950802fc3 arm64: io: Ensure calls to delay routines are ordered against prior readX() 
[ Upstream commit 6460d32014 ]

A relatively standard idiom for ensuring that a pair of MMIO writes to a
device arrive at that device with a specified minimum delay between them
is as follows:

	writel_relaxed(42, dev_base + CTL1);
	readl(dev_base + CTL1);
	udelay(10);
	writel_relaxed(42, dev_base + CTL2);

the intention being that the read-back from the device will push the
prior write to CTL1, and the udelay will hold up the write to CTL1 until
at least 10us have elapsed.

Unfortunately, on arm64 where the underlying delay loop is implemented
as a read of the architected counter, the CPU does not guarantee
ordering from the readl() to the delay loop and therefore the delay loop
could in theory be speculated and not provide the desired interval
between the two writes.

Fix this in a similar manner to PowerPC by introducing a dummy control
dependency on the output of readX() which, combined with the ISB in the
read of the architected counter, guarantees that a subsequent delay loop
can not be executed until the readX() has returned its result.

README 

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.
