Subject: Replace Atomic_MFence with architecture-independent barrier primitives
X-Git-Tag: stable-10.2.0~284
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4a61bffe80e57aeab0400813403c47a94e2acd1c;p=thirdparty%2Fopen-vm-tools.git

Replace Atomic_MFence with architecture-independent barrier primitives

Atomic_MFence was used to implement a full memory barrier on x86
architectures. In an effort to clean up duplicate code, this change
removes Atomic_MFence and replaces all previous uses with the most
conservative architecture-independent barrier primitive
(LDST_LDST_MEM_BARRIER). Since LDST_LDST_MEM_BARRIER is also a full
memory barrier, this change does not affect any existing ordering
semantics.
