Hi Richard, As we talked about earlier, here's a patch to add a compiler option to work around Cortex-A9 MPCore errata 761319: http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.uan0004a/UAN0004A_a9_read_read.pdf What the option does basically, is to scan for volatile loads during reorg, and add a dmb barrier after it. It also strives to make dmb conditionally executed under TARGET_THUMB2, which means a new Thumb-2 specific *memory_barrier_t2 pattern in sync.md, with adjusted conds/predicable attributes and %? in output strings. Patch originally written by Julian, with additions by Meador, and finally a few trivial adjustments by me. Again, we've been carrying this fix for a release or two. Okay for trunk?
