Mark Rutland 85872ffac4 locking/atomic: arm: fix sync ops 
[ Upstream commit dda5f312bb ]

The sync_*() ops on arch/arm are defined in terms of the regular bitops
with no special handling. This is not correct, as UP kernels elide
barriers for the fully-ordered operations, and so the required ordering
is lost when such UP kernels are run under a hypervsior on an SMP
system.

Fix this by defining sync ops with the required barriers.

Note: On 32-bit arm, the sync_*() ops are currently only used by Xen,
which requires ARMv7, but the semantics can be implemented for ARMv6+.

Fixes: e54d2f6152 ("xen/arm: sync_bitops")

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.
