    locking/spinlock, arch: Update and fix spin_unlock_wait() implementations · 726328d9
    Peter Zijlstra authored
    This patch updates/fixes all spin_unlock_wait() implementations.
    
    The update is in semantics; where it previously was only a control
    dependency, we now upgrade to a full load-acquire to match the
    store-release from the spin_unlock() we waited on. This ensures that
    when spin_unlock_wait() returns, we're guaranteed to observe the full
    critical section we waited on.
    
    This fixes a number of spin_unlock_wait() users that (not
    unreasonably) rely on this.
    
    I also fixed a number of ticket lock versions to only wait on the
    current lock holder, instead of for a full unlock, as this is
    sufficient.
    
    Furthermore; again for ticket locks; I added an smp_rmb() in between
    the initial ticket load and the spin loop testing the current value
    because I could not convince myself the address dependency is
    sufficient, esp. if the loads are of different sizes.
    
    I'm more than happy to remove this smp_rmb() again if people are
    certain the address dependency does indeed work as expected.
    
    Note: PPC32 will be fixed independently
