[PATCH v4.1 5/5] MCS Lock: Use arch-specific load-acquire/store-release primitives

From: Waiman Long
Date: Fri Nov 08 2013 - 12:49:56 EST


This patch uses architecture specific load-acquire and store-release
primitives for synchronization, if available. Generic implementations
are provided in case they are not defined even though they may not
be optimal. These generic implementation could be removed later on
once changes are made in all the relevant header files.

This patch also moves the actual lock/unlock code to mcs_spinlock.c
file.
