    seqcount: Add raw_write_seqcount_latch() · 9b0fd802
    Mathieu Desnoyers 提交于
    For NMI safe access to clock monotonic we use the seqcount LSB as
    index of a timekeeper array. The update sequence looks like this:
    
          smp_wmb();      <- prior stores to a[1]
          seq++;
          smp_wmb();      <- seq increment before update of a[0]
          update(a[0]);
          smp_wmb();      <- update of a[0]
          seq++;
          smp_wmb();      <- seq increment before update of a[1]
          update(a[1]);
    
    To avoid open coded barriers, provide a helper function.
