From 18c03c61444a211237f3d4782353cb38dba795df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Wed, 11 Dec 2013 13:59:06 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Documentation/memory-barriers.txt: Prohibit speculative writes No SMP architecture currently supporting Linux allows speculative writes, so this commit updates Documentation/memory-barriers.txt to prohibit them in Linux core code. It also records restrictions on their use. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Paul E.
