Atomic operation function symbols are exported,when
CONFIG_ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS is defined. Prefix them with notrace, so that
an user can not trace these functions. Tracing these functions causes
kernel crash.

Commit efd9e03fac ("arm64: Use static keys for CPU features")
introduced support for static keys in asm/cpufeature.h, including
linux/jump_label.h. When CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO is not defined, this causes a
circular dependency via linux/atomic.h, asm/lse.h and asm/cpufeature.h.
This patch moves the capability macros out out of asm/cpufeature.h into
a separate asm/cpucaps.h and modifies some of the #includes accordingly.

The LSE atomics implementation uses runtime patching to patch in calls
to out of line non-LSE atomics implementations on cores that lack hardware
support for LSE. To avoid paying the overhead cost of a function call even
if no call ends up being made, the bl instruction is kept invisible to the
compiler, and the out of line implementations preserve all registers, not
just the ones that they are required to preserve as per the AAPCS64.
However, commit fd045f6cd9 ("arm64: add support for module PLTs") added
support for routing branch instructions via veneers if the branch target
offset exceeds the range of the ordinary relative branch instructions.
Since this deals with jump and call instructions that are exposed to ELF
relocations, the PLT code uses x16 to hold the address of the branch target
when it performs an indirect branch-to-register, something which is
explicitly allowed by the AAPCS64 (and ordinary compiler generated code
does not expect register x16 or x17 to retain their values across a bl
instruction).
Since the lse runtime patched bl instructions don't adhere to the AAPCS64,
they don't deal with this clobbering of registers x16 and x17. So add them
to the clobber list of the asm() statements that perform the call
instructions, and drop x16 and x17 from the list of registers that are
callee saved in the out of line non-LSE implementations.
In addition, since we have given these functions two scratch registers,
they no longer need to stack/unstack temp registers.

On CPUs which support the LSE atomic instructions introduced in ARMv8.1,
it makes sense to use them in preference to ll/sc sequences.
This patch introduces runtime patching of our bitops functions so that
LSE atomic instructions are used instead.

On CPUs which support the LSE atomic instructions introduced in ARMv8.1,
it makes sense to use them in preference to ll/sc sequences.
This patch introduces runtime patching of atomic_t and atomic64_t
routines so that the call-site for the out-of-line ll/sc sequences is
patched with an LSE atomic instruction when we detect that
the CPU supports it.
If binutils is not recent enough to assemble the LSE instructions, then
the ll/sc sequences are inlined as though CONFIG_ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS=n.
