Subject: [PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 0/3] Memory-barrier documentation updates
Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2013 09:48:24 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131121174824.GA6611@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
Hello!
This series applies some long-needed updates to memory-barriers.txt:
1. Add ACCESS_ONCE() calls where needed to ensure their inclusion
in code copy-and-pasted from this file.
2. Add long atomic examples alongside the existing atomics.
3. Prohibit architectures supporting the Linux kernel from
speculating stores.
Thanx, Paul
