parisc: Use ldcw instruction for SMP spinlock release barrier
There are only a couple of instructions that can function as a memory barrier on parisc. Currently, we use the sync instruction as a memory barrier when releasing a spinlock. However, the ldcw instruction is a better barrier when we have a handy memory location since it operates in the cache on coherent machines. This patch updates the spinlock release code to use ldcw. I also changed the "stw,ma" instructions to "stw" instructions as it is not an adequate barrier. Signed-off-by: John David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
