// A memory barrier is effected using a "co-processor 15" instruction,
// though a separate assembler mnemonic is available for it in v7.
//
// "Thumb 1" is a subset of the ARM instruction set that uses a 16-bit encoding. It
// doesn't include all instructions and in particular it doesn't include the co-processor
// instruction used for the memory barrier or the load-locked/store-conditional
// instructions. So, if we're compiling in "Thumb 1" mode, we need to wrap all of our
// asm blocks with code to temporarily change to ARM mode.
//
// You can only change between ARM and Thumb modes when branching using the bx instruction.
// bx takes an address specified in a register. The least significant bit of the address
// indicates the mode, so 1 is added to indicate that the destination code is Thumb.
// A temporary register is needed for the address and is passed as an argument to these
// macros. It must be one of the "low" registers accessible to Thumb code, specified
// using the "l" attribute in the asm statement.
//
// Architecture v7 introduces "Thumb 2", which does include (almost?) all of the ARM
// instruction set. (Actually, there was an extension of v6 called v6T2 which supported
// "Thumb 2" mode, but its architecture manual is no longer available, referring to v7.)
// So in v7 we don't need to change to ARM mode; we can write "universal
// assembler" which will assemble to Thumb 2 or ARM code as appropriate. The only thing
// we need to do to make this "universal" assembler mode work is to insert "IT" instructions
// to annotate the conditional instructions. These are ignored in other modes (e.g. v6),
// so they can always be present.
// A note about memory_order_consume. Technically, this architecture allows to avoid
// unnecessary memory barrier after consume load since it supports data dependency ordering.
// However, some compiler optimizations may break a seemingly valid code relying on data
// dependency tracking by injecting bogus branches to aid out of order execution.
// This may happen not only in Boost.Atomic code but also in user's code, which we have no
// control of. See this thread: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2014/06/213890.php.
// For this reason we promote memory_order_consume to memory_order_acquire.
