Kernel Source and devicetree for NOTHING Phone(3a) and Phone(3a)Pro

commit 35dcb3ac663a16510afc27ba2725d70c15e012a5 upstream.
Per-vcpu flags are updated using a non-atomic RMW operation.
Which means it is possible to get preempted between the read and
write operations.
Another interesting thing to note is that preemption also updates
flags, as we have some flag manipulation in both the load and put
operations.
It is thus possible to lose information communicated by either
load or put, as the preempted flag update will overwrite the flags
when the thread is resumed. This is specially critical if either
load or put has stored information which depends on the physical
CPU the vcpu runs on.
This results in really elusive bugs, and kudos must be given to
Mostafa for the long hours of debugging, and finally spotting
the problem.
Fix it by disabling preemption during the RMW operation, which
ensures that the state stays consistent. Also upgrade vcpu_get_flag
path to use READ_ONCE() to make sure the field is always atomically
accessed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
