+/*
+ * Some Loongson 3 CPUs have a bug wherein execution of a memory access (load,
+ * store or pref) in between an ll & sc can cause the sc instruction to
+ * erroneously succeed, breaking atomicity. Whilst it's unusual to write code
+ * containing such sequences, this bug bites harder than we might otherwise
+ * expect due to reordering & speculation:
+ *
+ * 1) A memory access appearing prior to the ll in program order may actually
+ * be executed after the ll - this is the reordering case.
+ *
+ * In order to avoid this we need to place a memory barrier (ie. a sync
+ * instruction) prior to every ll instruction, in between it & any earlier
+ * memory access instructions. Many of these cases are already covered by
+ * smp_mb__before_llsc() but for the remaining cases, typically ones in
+ * which multiple CPUs may operate on a memory location but ordering is not
+ * usually guaranteed, we use loongson_llsc_mb() below.
+ *
+ * This reordering case is fixed by 3A R2 CPUs, ie. 3A2000 models and later.
+ *
+ * 2) If a conditional branch exists between an ll & sc with a target outside
+ * of the ll-sc loop, for example an exit upon value mismatch in cmpxchg()
+ * or similar, then misprediction of the branch may allow speculative
+ * execution of memory accesses from outside of the ll-sc loop.
+ *
+ * In order to avoid this we need a memory barrier (ie. a sync instruction)
+ * at each affected branch target, for which we also use loongson_llsc_mb()
+ * defined below.
+ *
+ * This case affects all current Loongson 3 CPUs.
