Some recent commits incorrectly assumed 4-byte alignment of locks.  That
assumption fails on Linux/m68k (and, interestingly, would have failed on
Linux/cris also).  The jump label implementation makes a similar alignment
assumption.

The expectation that atomic_t and atomic64_t variables will be naturally
aligned seems reasonable, as indeed they are on 64-bit architectures.  But
atomic64_t isn't naturally aligned on csky, m68k, microblaze, nios2,
openrisc and sh.  Neither atomic_t nor atomic64_t are naturally aligned on
m68k.

This patch brings a little uniformity by specifying natural alignment for
atomic types.  One benefit is that atomic64_t variables do not get split
across a page boundary.  The cost is that some structs grow which leads to
cache misses and wasted memory.

See also, commit bbf2a330d92c ("x86: atomic64: The atomic64_t data type
should be 8 bytes aligned on 32-bit too").

Now that all architectures implement ARCH_ATOMIC, we can make it
mandatory, removing the Kconfig symbol and logic for !ARCH_ATOMIC.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

<title>locking/atomic: atomic64: support ARCH_ATOMIC</title>

<id>1bdadf46eff6804ace5fa46b6856da4799f12b5c</id>
<content type='text'>
We'd like all architectures to convert to ARCH_ATOMIC, as this will
enable functionality, and once all architectures are converted it will
be possible to make significant cleanups to the atomic headers.

A number of architectures use asm-generic/atomic64.h, and it's
impractical to convert the header and all these architectures in one go.
To make it possible to convert them one-by-one, let's make the
asm-generic implementation function as either atomic64_*() or
arch_atomic64_*() depending on whether ARCH_ATOMIC is selected. To do
this, the generic implementations are prefixed as generic_atomic64_*(),
and preprocessor definitions map atomic64_*()/arch_atomic64_*() onto
these as appropriate.

Once all users are moved over to ARCH_ATOMIC the ifdeffery in the header
can be simplified and/or removed entirely.

For existing users (none of which select ARCH_ATOMIC), there should be
no functional change as a result of this patch.

<title>locking/atomic: Use s64 for atomic64</title>

<content type='text'>
As a step towards making the atomic64 API use consistent types treewide,
let's have the generic atomic64 implementation use s64 as the underlying
type for atomic64_t, rather than long long, matching the generated
headers.

Otherwise, there should be no functional change as a result of this
patch.

<title>atomics/treewide: Make conditional inc/dec ops optional</title>

<id>b3a2a05f9111de0b79312e577608a27b0318c0a1</id>
<content type='text'>
The conditional inc/dec ops differ for atomic_t and atomic64_t:

- atomic_inc_unless_positive() is optional for atomic_t, and doesn't exist for atomic64_t.
- atomic_dec_unless_negative() is optional for atomic_t, and doesn't exist for atomic64_t.
- atomic_dec_if_positive is optional for atomic_t, and is mandatory for atomic64_t.

Let's make these consistently optional for both. At the same time, let's
clean up the existing fallbacks to use atomic_try_cmpxchg().

The instrumented atomics are updated accordingly.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Many of the inc/dec ops are mandatory, but for most architectures inc/dec are
simply trivial wrappers around their corresponding add/sub ops.

Let's make all the inc/dec ops optional, so that we can get rid of these
boilerplate wrappers.

The instrumented atomics are updated accordingly.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

<title>atomics/treewide: Make test ops optional</title>

Some of the atomics return the result of a test applied after the atomic
operation, and almost all architectures implement these as trivial
wrappers around the underlying atomic. Specifically:

 * &lt;atomic&gt;_inc_and_test(v)    is (&lt;atomic&gt;_inc_return(v)    == 0)
 * &lt;atomic&gt;_dec_and_test(v)    is (&lt;atomic&gt;_dec_return(v)    == 0)
 * &lt;atomic&gt;_sub_and_test(i, v) is (&lt;atomic&gt;_sub_return(i, v) == 0)
 * &lt;atomic&gt;_add_negative(i, v) is (&lt;atomic&gt;_add_return(i, v)  &lt; 0)

Rather than have these definitions duplicated in all architectures, with
minor inconsistencies in formatting and documentation, let's make these
operations optional, with default fallbacks as above. Implementations
must now provide a preprocessor symbol.

The instrumented atomics are updated accordingly.

Both x86 and m68k have custom implementations, which are left as-is,
given preprocessor symbols to avoid being overridden.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

<title>atomics/generic: Define atomic64_fetch_add_unless()</title>

As a step towards unifying the atomic/atomic64/atomic_long APIs, this
patch converts the generic implementation of atomic64_add_unless() into
a generic implementation of atomic64_fetch_add_unless().

A wrapper in &lt;linux/atomic.h&gt; will build atomic_add_unless() atop of
this, provided it is given a preprocessor definition.

No functional change is intended as a result of this patch.

<title>atomics/treewide: Make atomic64_inc_not_zero() optional</title>

We define a trivial fallback for atomic_inc_not_zero(), but don't do
the same for atomic64_inc_not_zero(), leading most architectures to
define the same boilerplate.

Let's add a fallback in &lt;linux/atomic.h&gt;, and remove the redundant
implementations. Note that atomic64_add_unless() is always defined in
&lt;linux/atomic.h&gt;, and promotes its arguments to the requisite types, so
we need not do this explicitly.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
