Subject: [PATCH v2 0/8] perf: Refine barriers for AUX ring buffer
Date:   Wed,  2 Jun 2021 18:29:59 +0800

Based on the discussion [1], this patch series is to refine the memory
barriers for AUX ring buffer.

Patches 01 ~ 04 to address the barriers usage in the kernel.  The first
patch is to make clear comment for how to use the barriers between the
data store and aux_head store, this asks the driver to make sure the
data is visible.  Patches 02 ~ 04 is to refine the drivers for barriers
after the data store.

Patches 05 ~ 07 is to fix and clean up the memory barries in perf tool
for AUX ring buffer.

Since the 64-bit value's atomicity is not promised on 32-bit perf, the
last patch is to report error and let perf to directly exit for this
case.

Have testes the patches on Arm64 Juno platform.
