    arm64: atomics: fix grossly inconsistent asm constraints for exclusives · 3a0310eb
    Will Deacon authored
    Our uses of inline asm constraints for atomic operations are fairly
    wild and varied. We basically need to guarantee the following:
    
      1. Any instructions with barrier implications
         (load-acquire/store-release) have a "memory" clobber
    
      2. When performing exclusive accesses, the addresing mode is generated
         using the "Q" constraint
    
      3. Atomic blocks which use the condition flags, have a "cc" clobber
    
    This patch addresses these concerns which, as well as fixing the
    semantics of the code, stops GCC complaining about impossible asm
    constraints.
