Guests running within virtual machines might be affected by SMP effects even if the guest itself is compiled without SMP support. This is an artifact of interfacing with an SMP host while running an UP kernel. Using mandatory barriers for this use-case would be possible but is often suboptimal. In particular, virtio uses a bunch of confusing ifdefs to work around this, while xen just uses the mandatory barriers. To better handle this case, low-level virt_mb() etc macros are made available. These are implemented trivially using the low-level __smp_xxx macros, the purpose of these wrappers is to annotate those specific cases. These have the same effect as smp_mb() etc when SMP is enabled, but generate identical code for SMP and non-SMP systems. For example, virtual machine guests should use virt_mb() rather than smp_mb() when synchronizing against a (possibly SMP) host.

sh variant of smp_store_mb() calls xchg() on !SMP which is stronger than implied by both the name and the documentation. define __smp_store_mb instead: code in asm-generic/barrier.h will then define smp_store_mb correctly depending on CONFIG_SMP.

This defines __smp_xxx barriers for metag, for use by virtualization. smp_xxx barriers are removed as they are defined correctly by asm-generic/barriers.h Note: as __smp_XX macros should not depend on CONFIG_SMP, they can not use the existing fence() macro since that is defined differently between SMP and !SMP. For this reason, this patch introduces a wrapper metag_fence() that doesn't depend on CONFIG_SMP. fence() is then defined using that, depending on CONFIG_SMP. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

On !SMP, most architectures define their barriers as compiler barriers. On SMP, most need an actual barrier. Make it possible to remove the code duplication for !SMP by defining low-level __smp_xxx barriers which do not depend on the value of SMP, then use them from asm-generic conditionally. Besides reducing code duplication, these low level APIs will also be useful for virtualization, where a barrier is sometimes needed even if !SMP since we might be talking to another kernel on the same SMP system. Both virtio and Xen drivers will benefit. The smp_xxx variants should use __smp_XXX ones or barrier() depending on SMP, identically for all architectures. We keep ifndef guards around them for now - once/if all architectures are converted to use the generic code, we'll be able to remove these.

With commit b92b8b35 ("locking/arch: Rename set_mb() to smp_store_mb()") it was made clear that the context of this call (and thus set_mb) is strictly for CPU ordering, as opposed to IO. As such all archs should use the smp variant of mb(), respecting the semantics and saving a mandatory barrier on UP.
