ARC: add compiler barrier to LLSC based cmpxchg
commit d57f7272 upstream. When auditing cmpxchg call sites, Chuck noted that gcc was optimizing away some of the desired LDs. | do { | new = old = *ipi_data_ptr; | new |= 1U << msg; | } while (cmpxchg(ipi_data_ptr, old, new) != old); was generating to below | 8015cef8: ld r2,[r4,0] <-- First LD | 8015cefc: bset r1,r2,r1 | | 8015cf00: llock r3,[r4] <-- atomic op | 8015cf04: brne r3,r2,8015cf10 | 8015cf08: scond r1,[r4] | 8015cf0c: bnz 8015cf00 | | 8015cf10: brne r3,r2,8015cf00 <-- Branch doesn't go to orig LD Although this was fixed by adding a ACCESS_ONCE in this call site, it seems safer (for now at least) to add compiler barrier to LLSC based cmpxchg Reported-by: Chuck Jordan <cjordan@synopsys,com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Signed-off-by: Kamal Mostafa <kamal@canonical.com>
