Hi,
This is version 3 of this set of patches. The *mb() barriers semantics
are now correctly implemented WRT arch_is_coherent(). For the ARMv7 and
CONFIG_SMP cases, the mb() and wmb() become a DSB. Platform code can
override them by defining CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_BARRIERS and implementing the
mach/barriers.h file.
The smp_*mb() barriers are implemented as DMB since they are not
required to have any effect outside of Normal Cacheable memory.
Thanks.
Catalin Marinas (4):
ARM: Change the mandatory barriers implementation
ARM: Move the outer_cache definitions into a separate file
ARM: Add outer_cache_fns sync function and support for L2x0
ARM: Add RealView-specific barrier implementation
