From 1f03e8d2919270bd6ef64f39a45ce8df8a9f012a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Mon, 4 Apr 2016 10:57:12 +0200 Subject: locking/barriers: Replace smp_cond_acquire() with smp_cond_load_acquire() This new form allows using hardware assisted waiting. Some hardware (ARM64 and x86) allow monitoring an address for changes, so by providing a pointer we can use this to replace the cpu_relax() with hardware optimized methods in the future.
