Since the function CS_LOCK() has contained memory barrier mb(), it ensures the visibility of the AUX trace data before updating the aux_head, thus it's needless to add any explicit barrier anymore. Add comment to make clear for the barrier usage for ETF. Signed-off-by: Leo Yan <redacted> --- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc-etf.c | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+)
