[PATCH v3 02/10] coresight: tmc-etr: Add barrier after updating AUX ring buffer

From: Leo Yan <hidden>
Date: 2021-07-04 07:17:19
Also in: linux-arm-kernel, lkml
Subsystem: arm/coresight framework and drivers, hardware tracing facilities, the rest · Maintainers: Suzuki K Poulose, Alexander Shishkin, Linus Torvalds

Since a memory barrier is required between AUX trace data store and
aux_head store, and the AUX trace data is filled with memcpy(), it's
sufficient to use smp_wmb() so can ensure the trace data is visible
prior to updating aux_head.
