/*
* Memory barrier.
* The sync instruction guarantees that all memory accesses initiated
* by this processor have been performed (with respect to all other
* mechanisms that access memory). The eieio instruction is a barrier
* providing an ordering (separately) for (a) cacheable stores and (b)
* loads and stores to non-cacheable memory (e.g. I/O devices).
*
* mb() prevents loads and stores being reordered across this point.
* rmb() prevents loads being reordered across this point.
* wmb() prevents stores being reordered across this point.
* read_barrier_depends() prevents data-dependent loads being reordered
* across this point (nop on PPC).
*
* *mb() variants without smp_ prefix must order all types of memory
* operations with one another. sync is the only instruction sufficient
* to do this.
*
* For the smp_ barriers, ordering is for cacheable memory operations
* only. We have to use the sync instruction for smp_mb(), since lwsync
* doesn't order loads with respect to previous stores. Lwsync can be
* used for smp_rmb() and smp_wmb().
*
* However, on CPUs that don't support lwsync, lwsync actually maps to a
* heavy-weight sync, so smp_wmb() can be a lighter-weight eieio.

arch: Introduce smp_load_acquire(), smp_store_release() A number of situations currently require the heavyweight smp_mb(), even though there is no need to order prior stores against later loads. Many architectures have much cheaper ways to handle these situations, but the Linux kernel currently has no portable way to make use of them. This commit therefore supplies smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release() to remedy this situation. The new smp_load_acquire() primitive orders the specified load against any subsequent reads or writes, while the new smp_store_release() primitive orders the specifed store against any prior reads or writes. These primitives allow array-based circular FIFOs to be implemented without an smp_mb(), and also allow a theoretical hole in rcu_assign_pointer() to be closed at no additional expense on most architectures. In addition, the RCU experience transitioning from explicit smp_read_barrier_depends() and smp_wmb() to rcu_dereference() and rcu_assign_pointer(), respectively resulted in substantial improvements in readability. It therefore seems likely that replacing other explicit barriers with smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release() will provide similar benefits. It appears that roughly half of the explicit barriers in core kernel code might be so replaced. [Changelog by PaulMck] Reviewed-by: "Paul E.

arch: Add lightweight memory barriers dma_rmb() and dma_wmb() There are a number of situations where the mandatory barriers rmb() and wmb() are used to order memory/memory operations in the device drivers and those barriers are much heavier than they actually need to be. For example in the case of PowerPC wmb() calls the heavy-weight sync instruction when for coherent memory operations all that is really needed is an lsync or eieio instruction. This commit adds a coherent only version of the mandatory memory barriers rmb() and wmb(). In most cases this should result in the barrier being the same as the SMP barriers for the SMP case, however in some cases we use a barrier that is somewhere in between rmb() and smp_rmb(). For example on ARM the rmb barriers break down as follows: Barrier Call Explanation --------- -------- ---------------------------------- rmb() dsb() Data synchronization barrier - system dma_rmb() dmb(osh) data memory barrier - outer sharable smp_rmb() dmb(ish) data memory barrier - inner sharable These new barriers are not as safe as the standard rmb() and wmb(). Specifically they do not guarantee ordering between coherent and incoherent memories. The primary use case for these would be to enforce ordering of reads and writes when accessing coherent memory that is shared between the CPU and a device. It may also be noted that there is no dma_mb(). Most architectures don't provide a good mechanism for performing a coherent only full barrier without resorting to the same mechanism used in mb(). As such there isn't much to be gained in trying to define such a function.
