      [PATCH] powerpc: use lwsync in atomics, bitops, lock functions · 144b9c13
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      eieio is only a store - store ordering. When used to order an unlock
      operation loads may leak out of the critical region. This is potentially
      buggy, one example is if a user wants to atomically read a couple of
      values.
      
      We can solve this with an lwsync which orders everything except store - load.
      
      I removed the (now unused) EIEIO_ON_SMP macros and the c versions
      isync_on_smp and eieio_on_smp now we dont use them. I also removed some
      old comments that were used to identify inline spinlocks in assembly,
      they dont make sense now our locks are out of line.
      
      Another interesting thing was that read_unlock was using an eieio even
      though the rest of the spinlock code had already been converted to
      use lwsync.
