Nick Piggin b6c7347fff x86: optimise barriers
According to latest memory ordering specification documents from Intel
and AMD, both manufacturers are committed to in-order loads from
cacheable memory for the x86 architecture.  Hence, smp_rmb() may be a
simple barrier.

Also according to those documents, and according to existing practice in
Linux (eg.  spin_unlock doesn't enforce ordering), stores to cacheable
memory are visible in program order too.  Special string stores are safe
-- their constituent stores may be out of order, but they must complete
in order WRT surrounding stores.  Nontemporal stores to WB memory can go
out of order, and so they should be fenced explicitly to make them
appear in-order WRT other stores.  Hence, smp_wmb() may be a simple
barrier.

    http://developer.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/318147.pdf
    http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/24593.pdf

In userspace microbenchmarks on a core2 system, fence instructions range
anywhere from around 15 cycles to 50, which may not be totally
insignificant in performance critical paths (code size will go down
too).

However the primary motivation for this is to have the canonical barrier
implementation for x86 architecture.

smp_rmb on buggy pentium pros remains a locked op, which is apparently
required.

/**
* read_barrier_depends - Flush all pending reads that subsequents reads

*
* No data-dependent reads from memory-like regions are ever reordered
* over this barrier. All reads preceding this primitive are guaranteed
* to access memory (but not necessarily other CPUs' caches) before any
* reads following this primitive that depend on the data return by
* any of the preceding reads. This primitive is much lighter weight than
* rmb() on most CPUs, and is never heavier weight than is
* rmb().
*
* These ordering constraints are respected by both the local CPU
* and the compiler.
*
* Ordering is not guaranteed by anything other than these primitives,
* not even by data dependencies. See the documentation for
* memory_barrier() for examples and URLs to more information.
*
* For example, the following code would force ordering (the initial
* value of "a" is zero, "b" is one, and "p" is "&a"):
*
* <programlisting>
* CPU 0 CPU 1
*
* b = 2;
* memory_barrier();
* p = &b; q = p;
* read_barrier_depends();
* d = *q;
* </programlisting>
*
* because the read of "*q" depends on the read of "p" and these
* two reads are separated by a read_barrier_depends(). However,
* the following code, with the same initial values for "a" and "b":
*
* <programlisting>
* CPU 0 CPU 1
*
* a = 2;
* memory_barrier();
* b = 3; y = b;
* read_barrier_depends();
* x = a;
* </programlisting>
*
* does not enforce ordering, since there is no data dependency between
* the read of "a" and the read of "b". Therefore, on some CPUs, such
* as Alpha, "y" could be set to 3 and "x" to 0. Use rmb()
* in cases like this where there are no data dependencies.
