[PATCH v2 20/28] ARCv2: barriers

From: Vineet Gupta
Date: Tue Jun 23 2015 - 03:59:10 EST


ARCv2 based HS38 cores are weakly ordered and thus explicit barriers for
kernel proper.

SMP barrier is provided by DMB instruction which also guarantees local
barrier hence used as backend of smp_*mb() as well as *mb() APIs

Also hookup barriers into MMIO accessors to avoid ordering issues in IO

Changes since v1
* Better changelog and comments
* local/mandatory barriers to NOT use DSYNC, but DMB
* define DMB based mandatory barriers even for !SMP
