[PATCH v2] compiler-intel: fix wrong compiler barrier() macro

From: Daniel Borkmann
Date: Thu Apr 30 2015 - 05:56:53 EST


Cleanup commit 73679e508201 ("compiler-intel.h: Remove duplicate
definition") removed the double definition of __memory_barrier()
intrinsics.

However, in doing so, it also removed the preceding #undef barrier
by accident, meaning, the actual barrier() macro from compiler-gcc.h
with inline asm is still in place as __GNUC__ is provided.

Subsequently, barrier() can never be defined as __memory_barrier()
from compiler.h since it already has a definition in place and if
we trust the comment in compiler-intel.h, ecc doesn't support gcc
specific asm statements.

I don't have an ecc at hand, so a revert of that cleanup would be
the safest option, imho, as it has been like this since pre git
times.
