[PATCH locking 0/4] locktorture and memory-barriers.txt updates

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Tue Apr 26 2016 - 13:20:22 EST


Hello!

This series contains a few memory-barriers.txt updates and a locktorture
cleanup:

1. Add a disclaimer to memory-barrier.txt, courtesy of
Peter Zijlstra.

2. Explicitly state the purpose of memory-barrier.txt, courtesy
of David Howells.

3. Explicitly state that ACQUIRE applies to loads and that
RELEASE applies to stores, courtesy of Will Deacon.

4. Simplify torture_runnable computation in locktorture, replacing
a multiline #ifdef with an IS_ENABLED() that fits into an
existing line.

Thanx, Paul
