The Documentation/memory-barriers.txt document requires that atomic
operations that return a value act as a memory barrier both before
and after the actual atomic operation.
Our current implementation doesn't guarantee this. More specifically,
while a load following the isync can not be issued before stwcx. has
completed, that completion doesn't architecturally means that the
result of stwcx. is visible to other processors (or any previous stores
for that matter) (typically, the other processors L1 caches can still
hold the old value).
This has caused an actual crash in RCU torture testing on Power 7
This fixes it by changing those atomic ops to use new macros instead
of RELEASE/ACQUIRE barriers, called ATOMIC_ENTRY and ATMOIC_EXIT barriers,
which are then defined respectively to lwsync and sync.
I haven't had a chance to measure the performance impact (or rather
what I measured with kernel compiles is in the noise, I yet have to
find a more precise benchmark)

Recent binutils refuses to assemble AltiVec opcodes when in e500/SPE
mode, as some of those opcodes alias the "SPE" instructions. This
triggers an ancient binutils version check even when building a kernel
with CONFIG_ALTIVEC disabled.
In theory, the check could be conditionalized on CONFIG_ALTIVEC, but in
practice it has long outlived its utility. It is virtually impossible
to find binutils older than 2.12.1 (released 2002) in the wild anymore.
Even ancient RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 has binutils-2.14.
To fix the kernel build when done natively on e500 systems with this new
binutils, the test is simply removed.

With the introduction of CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS user space debug is
broken on Book-E 64-bit parts that support delayed debug events. When
switch_booke_debug_regs() sets DBCR0 we'll start getting debug events as
MSR_DE is also set and we aren't able to handle debug events from kernel
space.
We can remove the hack that always enables MSR_DE and loads up DBCR0 and
just utilize switch_booke_debug_regs() to get user space debug working
again.
We still need to handle critical/debug exception stacks & proper
save/restore of state for those exception levles to support debug events
from kernel space like we have on 32-bit.

This adds a new module parameter "debug_tx_timeout" to silence most
debug messages in case of TX timeout. These messages don't provide a
signal/noise ratio high enough for production systems and, with ~30kB
logged each time, they tend to add to a cascade effect if the system
is already under stress (memory pressure, disk, etc.).
By default, the parameter is clear, meaning that only a single warning
will be reported.

This change makes sure that tx_packets/rx_bytes ifconfig counters are
updated even on NICs that don't provide hardware support for these
stats: they are now updated in software. For the sake of consistency,
we also now have tx_bytes updated in software (hardware counters
include ethernet CRC, and software doesn't account for it).
This reverts parts of:
- "forcedeth: statistics optimization" (21828163b2)
- "forcedeth: Improve stats counters" (0bdfea8ba8)
- "forcedeth: remove unneeded stats updates" (4687f3f364)
