[PATCH v4 02/11] coresight: tmc-etr: Add barrier after updating AUX ring buffer

From: Leo Yan
Date: Sun Jul 11 2021 - 06:41:28 EST


Since a memory barrier is required between AUX trace data store and
aux_head store, and the AUX trace data is filled with memcpy(), it's
sufficient to use smp_wmb() so can ensure the trace data is visible
prior to updating aux_head.
