ARM: mcpm: Add baremetal voting mutexes This patch adds a simple low-level voting mutex implementation to be used to arbitrate during first man selection when no load/store exclusive instructions are usable. For want of a better name, these are called "vlocks". (I was tempted to call them ballot locks, but "block" is way too confusing an abbreviation...) There is no function to wait for the lock to be released, and no vlock_lock() function since we don't need these at the moment. These could straightforwardly be added if vlocks get used for other purposes. For architectural correctness even Strongly-Ordered memory accesses require barriers in order to guarantee that multiple CPUs have a coherent view of the ordering of memory accesses. Whether or not this matters depends on hardware implementation details of the memory system. Since the purpose of this code is to provide a clean, generic locking mechanism with no platform-specific dependencies the barriers should be present to avoid unpleasant surprises on future platforms. Note: * When taking the lock, we don't care about implicit background memory operations and other signalling which may be pending, because those are not part of the critical section anyway. A DMB is sufficient to ensure correctly observed ordering if the explicit memory accesses in vlock_trylock. * No barrier is required after checking the election result, because the result is determined by the store to VLOCK_OWNER_OFFSET and is already globally observed due to the barriers in voting_end. This means that global agreement on the winner is guaranteed, even before the winner is known locally.

ARM: mcpm: use -st dsb option prior to sev instructions In a similar manner to our spinlock implementation, mcpm uses sev to wake up cores waiting on a lock when the lock is unlocked. In order to ensure that the final write unlocking the lock is visible, a dsb instruction is executed immediately prior to the sev. This patch changes these dsbs to use the -st option, since we only require that the store unlocking the lock is made visible.
