* locking/rwsem: Use acquire/release semanticsDavidlohr Bueso2015-10-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As of 654672d4ba1 (locking/atomics: Add _{acquire|release|relaxed}() variants of some atomic operations) and 6d79ef2d30e (locking, asm-generic: Add _{relaxed|acquire|release}() variants for 'atomic_long_t'), weakly ordered archs can benefit from more relaxed use of barriers when locking and unlocking, instead of regular full barrier semantics. While currently only arm64 supports such optimizations, updating corresponding locking primitives serves for other archs to immediately benefit as well, once the necessary machinery is implemented of course.

* asm-generic: rwsem: de-PPCify rwsem.hWill Deacon2014-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | asm-generic/rwsem.h used to live under arch/powerpc. During its liberation to common code, a few references to its former home where preserved, in particular the definition of RWSEM_ACTIVE_MASK is predicated on CONFIG_PPC64. This patch updates the ifdefs and comments to architecturally neutral versions.
