28 * sys_membarrier - issue memory barriers on a set of threads
29 * @cmd: Takes command values defined in enum membarrier_cmd.
30 * @flags: Currently needs to be 0. For future extensions.
32 * If this system call is not implemented, -ENOSYS is returned. If the
33 * command specified does not exist, or if the command argument is invalid,
34 * this system call returns -EINVAL. For a given command, with flags argument
35 * set to 0, this system call is guaranteed to always return the same value
36 * until reboot.
38 * All memory accesses performed in program order from each targeted thread
39 * is guaranteed to be ordered with respect to sys_membarrier(). If we use
40 * the semantic "barrier()" to represent a compiler barrier forcing memory
41 * accesses to be performed in program order across the barrier, and
42 * smp_mb() to represent explicit memory barriers forcing full memory
43 * ordering across the barrier, we have the following ordering table for
44 * each pair of barrier(), sys_membarrier() and smp_mb():
46 * The pair ordering is detailed as (O: ordered, X: not ordered):
48 * barrier() smp_mb() sys_membarrier()
49 * barrier() X X O
50 * smp_mb() X O O
51 * sys_membarrier() O O O
