Subject: [PATCH] memorder: Reconcile Figure 15.15 notation with W+RWC z-flow semantics
Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2026 16:48:13 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260311084813.969200-1-kunwu.chan@linux.dev> (raw)
State explicitly that Figure 15.15 uses x as a schematic variable name, while the surrounding W+RWC analysis in Listing 15.18 follows the concrete z-flow (P2 -> z -> P1). This eliminates notation drift across cross-references and preserves propagation-argument fidelity.

nevertheless still sees the old value of zero.
This situation is depicted in
\cref{fig:memorder:Load-to-Store is Counter-Temporal}:
+The figure uses \co{x} as a generic variable name for the same
+counter-temporal pattern.
Just because a load sees the old value does \emph{not} mean that
this load executed at an earlier time than did the store of the
new value.
