Subject: [PATCH] ARM: add EDAC atomic_scrub function
Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2011 08:08:02 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1322834882-26363-1-git-send-email-robherring2@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com>
Add support for architecture specific EDAC atomic_scrub to ARM. Only ARMv6+
is implemented as ldrex/strex instructions are needed. Supporting EDAC on
ARMv5 or earlier is unlikely at this point anyway.
