ARC: atomics: Add compiler barrier to atomic operations...
... to avoid unwanted gcc optimizations SMP kernels fail to boot with commit 596ff4a0 ("cpumask: re-introduce constant-sized cpumask optimizations"). | | percpu: BUG: failure at mm/percpu.c:2981/pcpu_build_alloc_info()! | The write operation performed by the SCOND instruction in the atomic inline asm code is not properly passed to the compiler. The compiler cannot correctly optimize a nested loop that runs through the cpumask in the pcpu_build_alloc_info() function. Fix this by add a compiler barrier (memory clobber in inline asm). Apparently atomic ops used to have memory clobber implicitly via surrounding smp_mb(). However commit b64be683 ("ARC: atomics: implement relaxed variants") removed the smp_mb() for the relaxed variants, but failed to add the explicit compiler barrier.
