[RFC PATCH 4/4] membarrier: Introduce Kconfig ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER

Andrea Parri parri.andrea at gmail.com
Mon Dec 11 01:44:14 PST 2023


Architectures supporting the "private expedited" membarrier command must
select the Kconfig to use the command.  Document status and requirements
for each architecture in a single file under Documentation/features.

The TODOs in the arch-support table below should really be interpreted
as "I'm not sure/haven't checked" (the respective arch maintainers will
be able to verify and amend such information).

Based on the following inline comment in __schedule():

	/*
	 * The membarrier system call requires each architecture
	 * to have a full memory barrier after updating
	 * rq->curr, before returning to user-space.
	 *
	 * Here are the schemes providing that barrier on the
	 * various architectures:
	 * - mm ? switch_mm() : mmdrop() for x86, s390, sparc, PowerPC,
	 *   RISC-V.  switch_mm() relies on membarrier_arch_switch_mm()
	 *   on PowerPC and on RISC-V.
	 * - finish_lock_switch() for weakly-ordered
	 *   architectures where spin_unlock is a full barrier,
	 * - switch_to() for arm64 (weakly-ordered, spin_unlock
	 *   is a RELEASE barrier),
	 */
