Subject[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 108/185] ARC: add compiler barrier to LLSC based cmpxchg
Date
3.16.7-ckt15 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>

commit d57f727264f1425a94689bafc7e99e502cb135b5 upstream.

When auditing cmpxchg call sites, Chuck noted that gcc was optimizing
away some of the desired LDs.

| do {
| new = old = *ipi_data_ptr;
| new |= 1U << msg;
| } while (cmpxchg(ipi_data_ptr, old, new) != old);

was generating to below

| 8015cef8: ld r2,[r4,0] <-- First LD
| 8015cefc: bset r1,r2,r1
|
| 8015cf00: llock r3,[r4] <-- atomic op
| 8015cf04: brne r3,r2,8015cf10
| 8015cf08: scond r1,[r4]
| 8015cf0c: bnz 8015cf00
|
| 8015cf10: brne r3,r2,8015cf00 <-- Branch doesn't go to orig LD

Although this was fixed by adding a ACCESS_ONCE in this call site, it
seems safer (for now at least) to add compiler barrier to LLSC based
cmpxchg
