[ltt-dev] [PATCH] fix the "unknown" case

Thu Jun 10 18:52:42 EDT 2010


Use a back-to-back pair of pthread_mutex_lock acquisitions and releases
to stand in for a memory barrier, given that ARM doesn't always seem to do
the right thing with __sync_synchronize().  Tested on ARM and on x86.
The x86 testing was performed by removing all of the x86-specific
tests from configure.ac and then building from scratch.
