John David Anglin fedb8da963 parisc: Define mb() and add memory barriers to assembler unlock sequences
For years I thought all parisc machines executed loads and stores in
order. However, Jeff Law recently indicated on gcc-patches that this is
not correct. There are various degrees of out-of-order execution all the
way back to the PA7xxx processor series (hit-under-miss). The PA8xxx
series has full out-of-order execution for both integer operations, and
loads and stores.

This is described in the following article:
http://web.archive.org/web/20040214092531/http://www.cpus.hp.com/technical_references/advperf.shtml

For this reason, we need to define mb() and to insert a memory barrier
before the store unlocking spinlocks. This ensures that all memory
accesses are complete prior to unlocking. The ldcw instruction performs
the same function on entry.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
