It is a preparation patch for eBPF atomic supports under arm64. eBPF
needs support atomic[64]_fetch_add, atomic[64]_[fetch_]{and,or,xor} and
atomic[64]_{xchg|cmpxchg}. The ordering semantics of eBPF atomics are
the same with the implementations in linux kernel.
Add three helpers to support LDCLR/LDEOR/LDSET/SWP, CAS and DMB
instructions. STADD/STCLR/STEOR/STSET are simply encoded as aliases for
LDADD/LDCLR/LDEOR/LDSET with XZR as the destination register, so no extra
helper is added. atomic_fetch_add() and other atomic ops needs support for
STLXR instruction, so extend enum aarch64_insn_ldst_type to do that.
LDADD/LDEOR/LDSET/SWP and CAS instructions are only available when LSE
atomics is enabled, so just return AARCH64_BREAK_FAULT directly in
these newly-added helpers if CONFIG_ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS is disabled.

Hey Mark / Ard / Will / Catalin or others, could we get an Ack on patch 1 & 2
at min if it looks good to you?
Sorry for the delay, for some reason this series has all ended up in my
spam! I'll take a look this week. If it looks good, do you mind if I queue
those two patches in arm64 on a stable branch for you to pull as well? We've
got a few other (non-BPF) changes pending to the instruction decoder, and
I'd like to avoid conflicts if we can.
Yes, that should be totally fine.
Thanks,
Daniel
