The FEAT_STATE conversion of spinlocks (patch 38e580e6411c7a2eb2801a6aacb0a19bb9b1ac46) missed a branch between the two `mov` instructions and as a result the `mov rx, #1` is always followed by `mov rx, #0` causing the spin_trylock() function to always return failure.
Putting the branch back into the inline assembly is difficult without extra C control logic that would add extra instructions. So instead keep only the exclusives in assembly and convert all control logic to C. This emits code that is functionally equivalent to the original with the same number of instructions.
Change-Id: If97ea5fd46321ec18c8f92368355b1bc004a7cf0 Signed-off-by: Boyan Karatotev <boyan.karatotev@arm.com> 38e580e6411c7a2eb2801a6aacb0a19bb9b1ac46 Wed Nov 26 11:15:03 UTC 2025 Boyan Karatotev <boyan.karatotev@arm.com> feat(cpufeat): enable USE_SPINLOCK_CAS to FEAT_STATE_CHECKED
The FEAT_LSE enablement predates the FEAT_STATE framework and has never been converted. Since the introduction of USE_SPINLOCK_CAS we've gained lots of quality of life features that allow for better feature enablement. This patch converts USE_SPINLOCK_CAS to tri-state and adds it to FEATURE_DETECTION to align with all other features.
Instead of introducing the assembly checking for tri-state, this patch translates all locking routines to C inline assembly and uses the standard C helpers. The main benefit is that this gives greater visibility to the compiler about what the functions are doing and lets it optimise better. Namely, it is able to allocate registers itself and inline the functions when LTO is enabled.
An unsuccessful attempt was made to use the instructions directly and have even flow control in C. This, however, made code very complicated and less efficient in the tight loops of the spinlock.
The last use of ARM_ARCH_AT_LEAST goes away with this change and so this macro is removed. It has now been fully superseded by the FEAT_STATE framework.
This change exposes a limitation - RME_GPT_BITLOCK_BLOCK requires USE_SPINLOCK_CAS. This patch does not address this in any way but makes the relationship explicit.

Namely, it is able to allocate registers itself and inline the functions when LTO is enabled.
An unsuccessful attempt was made to use the instructions directly and have even flow control in C. This, however, made code very complicated and less efficient in the tight loops of the spinlock.
The last use of ARM_ARCH_AT_LEAST goes away with this change and so this macro is removed. It has now been fully superseded by the FEAT_STATE framework.
This change exposes a limitation - RME_GPT_BITLOCK_BLOCK requires USE_SPINLOCK_CAS. This patch does not address this in any way but makes the relationship explicit.
