[PATCH memory-model 01/14] tools/memory-model: Add litmus test for full multicopy atomicity

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This commit adds a litmus test suggested by Alan Stern that is forbidden
on fully multicopy atomic systems, but allowed on other-multicopy and
on non-multicopy atomic systems.  For reference, s390 is fully multicopy
atomic, x86 and ARMv8 are other-multicopy atomic, and ARMv7 and powerpc
are non-multicopy atomic.
