This covers threads from all processes + * running on the system. This command returns 0. + * @MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED: + * Execute a memory barrier on all running threads + * of all processes which previously registered + * with MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED. + * Upon return from system call, the caller thread + * is ensured that all running threads have passed + * through a state where all memory accesses to + * user-space addresses match program order between + * entry to and return from the system call + * (non-running threads are de facto in such a + * state). This only covers threads from processes + * which registered with + * MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED. + * This command returns 0. Given that + * registration is about the intent to receive + * the barriers, it is valid to invoke + * MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED from a + * non-registered process. + * @MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED: + * Register the process intent to receive + * MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED memory + * barriers.

This only covers threads from the + * same process as the caller thread. This + * command returns 0 on success.

(architectures are required to + * guarantee that non-running threads issue + * core serializing instructions before they + * resume user-space execution). This only + * covers threads from the same process as the + * caller thread. This command returns 0 on + * success. The "expedited" commands complete + * faster than the non-expedited ones, they + * never block, but have the downside of + * causing extra overhead.
