125 * Note on x86 memory ordering
127 * When releasing a lock we must ensure that no stores or loads from within
128 * the critical section are re-ordered by the CPU to occur outside of it:
129 * they must have completed and be visible to other processors once the lock
132 * NetBSD usually runs with the kernel mapped (via MTRR) in a WB (write
133 * back) memory region. In that case, memory ordering on x86 platforms
136 * i386 All loads/stores occur in instruction sequence.
138 * i486 All loads/stores occur in instruction sequence. In
139 * Pentium exceptional circumstances, loads can be re-ordered around
140 * stores, but for the purposes of releasing a lock it does
141 * not matter. Stores may not be immediately visible to other
142 * processors as they can be buffered. However, since the
143 * stores are buffered in order the lock release will always be
144 * the last operation in the critical section that becomes
145 * visible to other CPUs.
147 * Pentium Pro The "Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's
148 * onwards Manual" volume 3A (order number 248966) says that (1) "Reads
149 * can be carried out speculatively and in any order" and (2)
150 * "Reads can pass buffered stores, but the processor is
151 * self-consistent.". This would be a problem for the below,
152 * and would mandate a locked instruction cycle or load fence
153 * before releasing the simple lock.
155 * The "Intel Pentium 4 Processor Optimization" guide (order
156 * number 253668-022US) says: "Loads can be moved before stores
157 * that occurred earlier in the program if they are not
158 * predicted to load from the same linear address.". This is
159 * not a problem since the only loads that can be re-ordered
160 * take place once the lock has been released via a store.
162 * The above two documents seem to contradict each other,
163 * however with the exception of early steppings of the Pentium
164 * Pro, the second document is closer to the truth: a store
165 * will always act as a load fence for all loads that precede
166 * the store in instruction order.
168 * Again, note that stores can be buffered and will not always
169 * become immediately visible to other CPUs: they are however
172 * AMD64 Stores occur in order and are buffered. Loads can be
173 * reordered, however stores act as load fences, meaning that
174 * loads can not be reordered around stores.
