locking/atomic: arm: fix sync ops

The sync_*() ops on arch/arm are defined in terms of the regular bitops
with no special handling. This is not correct, as UP kernels elide
barriers for the fully-ordered operations, and so the required ordering
is lost when such UP kernels are run under a hypervsior on an SMP
system.

Fix this by defining sync ops with the required barriers.

Note: On 32-bit arm, the sync_*() ops are currently only used by Xen,
which requires ARMv7, but the semantics can be implemented for ARMv6+.

ARM: 7171/1: unwind: add unwind directives to bitops assembly macros

The bitops functions (e.g. _test_and_set_bit) on ARM do not have unwind
annotations and therefore the kernel cannot backtrace out of them on a
fatal error (for example, NULL pointer dereference).

This patch annotates the bitops assembly macros with UNWIND annotations
so that we can produce a meaningful backtrace on error. Callers of the
macros are modified to pass their function name as a macro parameter,
enforcing that the macros are used as standalone function implementations.

ARM: bitops: switch set/clear/change bitops to use ldrex/strex

Switch the set/clear/change bitops to use the word-based exclusive

than the byte-based exclusive operations.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
