Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

This adds missing memory barriers to order updates/tests of the virtual CPPR and MFRR, thus fixing a lost IPI problem. While at it also document all barriers in this file. This fixes a bug causing guest IPIs to occasionally get lost. The symptom then is hangs or stalls in the guest. Signed-off-by:Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Tested-by:
