- * sys_membarrier - issue memory barriers on a set of threads
- * @cmd: Takes command values defined in enum membarrier_cmd.
- * @flags: Currently needs to be 0. For future extensions.

- * If this system call is not implemented, -ENOSYS is returned. If the
- * command specified does not exist, or if the command argument is invalid,
- * this system call returns -EINVAL. For a given command, with flags argument

- * All memory accesses performed in program order from each targeted thread
- * is guaranteed to be ordered with respect to sys_membarrier(). If we use
- * the semantic "barrier()" to represent a compiler barrier forcing memory
- * accesses to be performed in program order across the barrier, and
- * smp_mb() to represent explicit memory barriers forcing full memory
- * ordering across the barrier, we have the following ordering table for
- * each pair of barrier(), sys_membarrier() and smp_mb():
- *
- * The pair ordering is detailed as (O: ordered, X: not ordered):
- *
- * barrier() smp_mb() sys_membarrier()
- * barrier() X X O
- * smp_mb() X O O
- * sys_membarrier() O O O
