[PATCH RFC memory-model 01/33] tools/memory-model: Prepare for data-race detection

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Thu May 30 2019 - 10:46:59 EST


From: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch makes some slight alterations to linux-kernel.cat in
preparation for adding support for data-race detection to the
Linux-Kernel Memory Model.

The definitions of relations involved in Acquire, Release, and
unlock-lock ordering are moved up earlier in the source file.

The rmb relation is factored through the new R4rmb class: the
class of reads to which rmb will apply.

The definition of the fence relation is moved earlier, and it
is split up into read- and write-fences (rmb and wmb) and all
the others.

This should not make any functional changes.
