[PATCH] spinlock: don't use deprecated barriers on ARMv7

Rabin Vincent rabin at rab.in
Mon Jan 11 10:06:26 EST 2010


On ARMv7, the use of the cp15 operations for barriers is deprecated in
favour of the isb, dsb, and dmb instructions.  Change the locking
functions to use the appropriate type of dsb for the architecture being
built for.
