[PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 0/3] Memory-barrier documentation updates

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Thu Nov 21 2013 - 12:48:33 EST


Hello!

This series applies some long-needed updates to memory-barriers.txt:

1. Add ACCESS_ONCE() calls where needed to ensure their inclusion
in code copy-and-pasted from this file.

2. Add long atomic examples alongside the existing atomics.

3. Prohibit architectures supporting the Linux kernel from
speculating stores.

Thanx, Paul
