Key: C: Ordering is cumulative
P: Ordering propagates
R: Read, for example, READ_ONCE(), or read portion of RMW
W: Write, for example, WRITE_ONCE(), or write portion of RMW
Y: Provides ordering
a: Provides ordering given intervening RMW atomic operation
DR: Dependent read (address dependency)
DW: Dependent write (address, data, or control dependency)
RMW: Atomic read-modify-write operation
SELF: Orders self, as opposed to accesses before and/or after
SV: Orders later accesses to the same variable
Key: Relaxed: A relaxed operation is either READ_ONCE(), WRITE_ONCE(),
a *_relaxed() RMW operation, an unsuccessful RMW
operation, a non-value-returning RMW operation such
as atomic_inc(), or one of the atomic*_read() and
atomic*_set() family of operations.
