[PATCH] parisc: Remove ldcw barriers from LWS routines in syscall.S

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

 



The LDCW barriers in the light-weight system (LWS) calls in syscall.S can be removed.  Ordered stores
can be used to provide the necessary release semantics.  This saves an instruction that is relatively
expensive.
