Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] ARM64: Optimize seq operations

# Describe the purpose of this series. The information you put here
# will be used by the project maintainer to make a decision whether
# your patches should be reviewed, and in what priority order. Please be
# very detailed and link to any relevant discussions or sites that the
# maintainer can review to better understand your proposed changes. If you
# only have a single patch in your series, the contents of the cover
# letter will be appended to the "under-the-cut" portion of the patch.

# Lines starting with # will be removed from the cover letter. You can
# use them to add notes or reminders to yourself. If you want to use
# markdown headers in your cover letter, start the line with ">#".

# You can add trailers to the cover letter. Any email addresses found in
# these trailers will be added to the addresses specified/generated
# during the b4 send stage. You can also run "b4 prep --auto-to-cc" to
# auto-populate the To: and Cc: trailers based on the code being
# modified.

V1->V2
- Describe the benefit of load acquire vs barriers
- Explain the CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ACQUIRE_RELEASE option better

Changes in v4:
- Remove CONFIG_HAS_ACQUIRE_RELEASE assuming that arches provide
  effective fallbacks for smp_cond_load_acquire / smp_load_acquire
- Use VAL in smp_cond_load_acquire macro
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240912-seq_optimize-v3-1-8ee25e04dffa@gentwo.org

Changes in v3:
- Support cond_load_acquire to give the processor a chance to do some
  sort of power down until cacheline changes.
- Better code by Thomas Gleixner
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240819-seq_optimize-v2-1-9d0da82b022f@gentwo.org
