[PATCH v3 08/10] perf auxtrace: Use WRITE_ONCE() for updating aux_tail

From: Leo Yan <hidden>
Date: 2021-07-04 07:17:38
Also in: linux-perf-users, lkml
Subsystem: performance events subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Peter Zijlstra, Ingo Molnar, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, Namhyung Kim, Linus Torvalds

Use WRITE_ONCE() for updating aux_tail, so can avoid unexpected memory
behaviour.
