[ Upstream commit dda5f312bb09e56e7a1c3e3851f2000eb2e9c879 ]

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+.

<title>ARM: 9263/1: use .arch directives instead of assembler command line flags</title>

<content type='text'>
Similar to commit a6c30873ee4a ("ARM: 8989/1: use .fpu assembler
directives instead of assembler arguments").

GCC and GNU binutils support setting the "sub arch" via -march=,
-Wa,-march, target function attribute, and .arch assembler directive.

Clang was missing support for -Wa,-march=, but this was implemented in
clang-13.

The behavior of both GCC and Clang is to
prefer -Wa,-march= over -march= for assembler and assembler-with-cpp
sources, but Clang will warn about the -march= being unused.

clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-march=armv6k'
[-Wunused-command-line-argument]

Since most assembler is non-conditionally assembled with one sub arch
(modulo arch/arm/delay-loop.S which conditionally is assembled as armv4
based on CONFIG_ARCH_RPC, and arch/arm/mach-at91/pm-suspend.S which is
conditionally assembled as armv7-a based on CONFIG_CPU_V7), prefer the
.arch assembler directive.

Add a few more instances found in compile testing as found by Arnd and
Nathan.

<id>5854e4d8530e6ed4c2532a71a6b0474e199d44dd</id>
<content type='text'>
When using the frame pointer unwinder, it was found that the stack trace
output of stack_trace_save() is incomplete if the stack contains
call_with_stack():

 [0x7f00002c] dump_stack_task+0x2c/0x90 [hrtimer]
 [0x7f0000a0] hrtimer_hander+0x10/0x18 [hrtimer]
 [0x801a67f0] __hrtimer_run_queues+0x1b0/0x3b4
 [0x801a7350] hrtimer_run_queues+0xc4/0xd8

 [0x808ab15c] generic_handle_arch_irq+0x60/0x80
 [0x8051191c] call_with_stack+0x1c/0x20

For the frame pointer unwinder, unwind_frame() checks stackframe::fp by
stackframe::sp. Since call_with_stack() switches the SP from one stack
to another, stackframe::fp and stackframe: :sp will point to different
stacks, so we can no longer check stackframe::fp by stackframe::sp. Skip
checking stackframe::fp at this point to avoid this problem.
