[kvm-unit-tests PATCH v5 11/11] new: arm/barrier-test for memory barriers

Alex Bennée
2015-07-31T15:54:31Z

From: Alex Bennée <alex@bennee.com>

This test has been written mainly to stress multi-threaded TCG behaviour
but will demonstrate failure by default on real hardware. The test takes
the following parameters:

- "lock" use GCC's locking semantics
- "excl" use load/store exclusive semantics
- "acqrel" use acquire/release semantics

Currently excl/acqrel lock up on MTTCG
