| |
Hello!
This series applies some long-needed updates to memory-barriers.txt:
1. Add ACCESS_ONCE() calls where needed to ensure their inclusion in code copy-and-pasted from this file.
2. Add long atomic examples alongside the existing atomics.
3. Prohibit architectures supporting the Linux kernel from speculating stores.
Thanx, Paul
