For years I thought all parisc machines executed loads and stores in order. However, Jeff Law recently indicated on gcc-patches that this is not correct. There are various degrees of out-of-order execution all the way back to the PA7xxx processor series (hit-under-miss). The PA8xxx series has full out-of-order execution for both integer operations, and loads and stores. This is described in the following article: http://web.archive.org/web/20040214092531/http://www.cpus.hp.com/technical_references/advperf.shtml For this reason, we need to define mb() and to insert a memory barrier before the store unlocking spinlocks. This ensures that all memory accesses are complete prior to unlocking. The ldcw instruction performs the same function on entry.
