      ARC: add compiler barrier to LLSC based cmpxchg · d57f7272
      Vineet Gupta authored
      When auditing cmpxchg call sites, Chuck noted that gcc was optimizing
      away some of the desired LDs.
      
      |	do {
      |		new = old = *ipi_data_ptr;
      |		new |= 1U << msg;
      |	} while (cmpxchg(ipi_data_ptr, old, new) != old);
      
      was generating to below
      
      | 8015cef8:	ld         r2,[r4,0]  <-- First LD
      | 8015cefc:	bset       r1,r2,r1
      |
      | 8015cf00:	llock      r3,[r4]  <-- atomic op
      | 8015cf04:	brne       r3,r2,8015cf10
      | 8015cf08:	scond      r1,[r4]
      | 8015cf0c:	bnz        8015cf00
      |
      | 8015cf10:	brne       r3,r2,8015cf00  <-- Branch doesn't go to orig LD
      
      Although this was fixed by adding a ACCESS_ONCE in this call site, it
      seems safer (for now at least) to add compiler barrier to LLSC based
      cmpxchg
