3.2.77-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@xxxxxxxxx> commit 81d7a3294de7e9828310bbf986a67246b13fa01e upstream. According to memory-barriers.txt, xchg*, cmpxchg* and their atomic_ versions all need to be fully ordered, however they are now just RELEASE+ACQUIRE, which are not fully ordered. So also replace PPC_RELEASE_BARRIER and PPC_ACQUIRE_BARRIER with PPC_ATOMIC_ENTRY_BARRIER and PPC_ATOMIC_EXIT_BARRIER in __{cmp,}xchg_{u32,u64} respectively to guarantee fully ordered semantics of atomic{,64}_{cmp,}xchg() and {cmp,}xchg(), as a complement of commit b97021f85517 ("powerpc: Fix atomic_xxx_return barrier semantics") This patch depends on patch "powerpc: Make value-returning atomics fully ordered" for PPC_ATOMIC_ENTRY_BARRIER definition.
