| |
Hello!
This series contains a few memory-barriers.txt updates and a locktorture cleanup:
1. Add a disclaimer to memory-barrier.txt, courtesy of Peter Zijlstra.
2. Explicitly state the purpose of memory-barrier.txt, courtesy of David Howells.
3. Explicitly state that ACQUIRE applies to loads and that RELEASE applies to stores, courtesy of Will Deacon.
4. Simplify torture_runnable computation in locktorture, replacing a multiline #ifdef with an IS_ENABLED() that fits into an existing line.
Thanx, Paul
