Hi,
This RFC is a follow-up on the discussion in [1], which led to the discovery of a few issues in the current implementations of RISC-V locking and atomic operations.
In summary, this series proposes the following modifications:
1. Use lightweigth fences for acquire/release (locking, atomics)
2. Use the combination of .rl and full fences for fully-ordered atomics implemented with LR/SC pairs.
3. A few style changes (80-chars lines, alignment).
Applies on top of "next-smp_sl_ar".
Cheers, Andrea
