This series contains a few memory-barriers.txt updates and a locktorture cleanup: 1. Add a disclaimer to memory-barrier.txt, courtesy of Peter Zijlstra. 2. Explicitly state the purpose of memory-barrier.txt, courtesy of David Howells. 3. Explicitly state that ACQUIRE applies to loads and that RELEASE applies to stores, courtesy of Will Deacon. 4. Simplify torture_runnable computation in locktorture, replacing a multiline #ifdef with an IS_ENABLED() that fits into an existing line. Thanx, Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Documentation/memory-barriers.txt | 39 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- kernel/locking/locktorture.c | 7 ------ 2 files changed, 39 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-)
