Hi,
Now, both cacheable memory shareability attribute and barrier are fixed to inner shareable. But
I afraid some hardware need outer shareable. If hardware support both inner and outer, do we need
to optimize?
for example(the code for now):
#define PTE_SHARED (_AT(pteval_t, 3) << 8) /* SH[1:0], inner shareable */
#define smp_mb() dmb(ish)
How can we support both inner and outer shareable, or selectable?
Thanks
Zhen Lei
