/* Copied from the kernel sources to tools/: * * These are here in an effort to more fully work around Spitfire Errata * #51. Essentially, if a memory barrier occurs soon after a mispredicted * branch, the chip can stop executing instructions until a trap occurs. * Therefore, if interrupts are disabled, the chip can hang forever. * * It used to be believed that the memory barrier had to be right in the * delay slot, but a case has been traced recently wherein the memory barrier * was one instruction after the branch delay slot and the chip still hung. * The offending sequence was the following in sym_wakeup_done() of the * sym53c8xx_2 driver: * * call sym_ccb_from_dsa, 0 * movge %icc, 0, %l0 * brz,pn %o0, .LL1303 * mov %o0, %l2 * membar #LoadLoad * * The branch has to be mispredicted for the bug to occur. Therefore, we put * the memory barrier explicitly into a "branch always, predicted taken" * delay slot to avoid the problem case.
