Lynn Boger eeca3ba92f sync/atomic, runtime/internal/atomic: improve ppc64x atomics
The following performance improvements have been made to the
low-level atomic functions for ppc64le & ppc64:

- For those cases containing a lwarx and stwcx (or other sizes):
sync, lwarx, maybe something, stwcx, loop to sync, sync, isync
The sync is moved before (outside) the lwarx/stwcx loop, and the
 sync after is removed, so it becomes:
sync, lwarx, maybe something, stwcx, loop to lwarx, isync

- For the Or8 and And8, the shifting and manipulation of the
address to the word aligned version were removed and the
instructions were changed to use lbarx, stbcx instead of
register shifting, xor, then lwarx, stwcx.

- New instructions LWSYNC, LBAR, STBCC were tested and added.
runtime/atomic_ppc64x.s was changed to use the LWSYNC opcode
instead of the WORD encoding.

Fixes #15469

Ran some of the benchmarks in the runtime and sync directories.
Some results varied from run to run but the trend was improvement
based on best times for base and new:

The Go Programming Language

Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
