Anton Blanchard	f10e2e5b4b	powerpc: Rename LWSYNC_ON_SMP to PPC_RELEASE_BARRIER, ISYNC_ON_SMP to PPC_ACQUIRE_BARRIER For performance reasons we are about to change ISYNC_ON_SMP to sometimes be lwsync. Now that the macro name doesn't make sense, change it and LWSYNC_ON_SMP to better explain what the barriers are doing.

Paul Mackerras	306a82881b	powerpc: Fix data-corrupting bug in __futex_atomic_op Richard Henderson pointed out that the powerpc __futex_atomic_op has a bug: it will write the wrong value if the stwcx. fails and it has to retry the lwarx/stwcx. loop, since 'oparg' will have been overwritten by the result from the first time around the loop. This happens because it uses the same register for 'oparg' (an input) as it uses for the result. This fixes it by using separate registers for 'oparg' and 'ret'.

For performance reasons we are about to change ISYNC_ON_SMP to sometimes be
lwsync. Now that the macro name doesn't make sense, change it and LWSYNC_ON_SMP
to better explain what the barriers are doing.

powerpc: Fix data-corrupting bug in __futex_atomic_op

Richard Henderson pointed out that the powerpc __futex_atomic_op has a
bug: it will write the wrong value if the stwcx. fails and it has to
retry the lwarx/stwcx. loop, since 'oparg' will have been overwritten
by the result from the first time around the loop.  This happens
because it uses the same register for 'oparg' (an input) as it uses
for the result.

This fixes it by using separate registers for 'oparg' and 'ret'.
