[ARM] 4201/1: SMP barriers pair needed for the secondary boot process
In some situations, the pen_release store in platform_secondary_init() may stay forever in the write buffer while the CPU is waiting on the boot_lock to be released in boot_secondary(). The primary CPU could never see the pen_release update without the barriers. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
