From 45801042225c66a66fb2cb50fae6ff71883a99d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Rutland Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2013 14:32:33 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] arm: arch_timer: add isbs to register accessors Without the isbs in arch_timer_get_cnt{p,v}ct the cpu may speculate reads and return stale values. This could be bad for code sensitive to changes in expected deltas between calls (e.g. the delay loop). Without isbs in arch_timer_reg_write the processor may reorder instructions around enabling/disabling of the timer or writing the compare value, which we probably don't want. This patch adds isbs to prevent those issues.
