Litmus tests involving atomic operations produce LL/SC loops on a number of architectures, and unrolling these loops can result in excessive verification times or even stack overflows. This commit therefore uses the "-unroll 0" herd7 argument to avoid unrolling, on the grounds that additional passes through an LL/SC loop should not change the verification. Note however, that certain bugs in the mapping of the LL/SC loop to machine instructions may go undetected. On the other hand, herd7 might not be the best vehicle for finding such bugs in any case. (You do stress-test your architecture-specific code, don't you?) Suggested-by: Luc Maranget <luc.maranget@xxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
