2010-02-27MIPS: New macro smp_mb__before_llsc.David Daney
Replace some instances of smp_llsc_mb() with a new macro smp_mb__before_llsc(). It is used before ll/sc sequences that are documented as needing write barrier semantics. The default implementation of smp_mb__before_llsc() is just smp_llsc_mb(), so there are no changes in semantics. Also simplify definition of smp_mb(), smp_rmb(), and smp_wmb() to be just barrier() in the non-SMP case.

2009-09-17MIPS: Allow kernel use of LL/SC to be separate from the presence of LL/SC.David Daney
On some CPUs, it is more efficient to disable and enable interrupts in the kernel rather than use ll/sc for atomic operations. But if we were to set cpu_has_llsc to false, we would break the userspace futex interface (in asm/futex.h). We separate the two concepts, with a new predicate kernel_uses_llsc, that lets us disable the kernel's use of ll/sc while still allowing the futex code to use it. Also there were a couple of cases in bitops.h where we were using ll/sc unconditionally even if cpu_has_llsc were false.
