Subject: [PATCH v2] arm: Hook up SYNC_CORE functionality for sys_membarrier()
Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2018 10:42:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1530006130-18048-1-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com> (raw)

Exception return implies context synchronization, so we can hook up the
SYNC_CORE option to sys_membarrier() simply by selecting the Kconfig option,
just like we've done for arm64 already.
