+ * sys_membarrier - issue memory barriers on a set of threads
+ * @cmd:   Takes command values defined in enum membarrier_cmd.
+ * @flags: Currently needs to be 0. For future extensions.
+ *
+ * If this system call is not implemented, -ENOSYS is returned. If the
+ * command specified does not exist, not available on the running
+ * kernel, or if the command argument is invalid, this system call
+ * returns -EINVAL. For a given command, with flags argument set to 0,
+ * this system call is guaranteed to always return the same value until
+ * reboot.
+ *
+ * All memory accesses performed in program order from each targeted thread
+ * is guaranteed to be ordered with respect to sys_membarrier(). If we use
+ * the semantic "barrier()" to represent a compiler barrier forcing memory
+ * accesses to be performed in program order across the barrier, and
+ * smp_mb() to represent explicit memory barriers forcing full memory
+ * ordering across the barrier, we have the following ordering table for
+ * each pair of barrier(), sys_membarrier() and smp_mb():
+ *
+ * The pair ordering is detailed as (O: ordered, X: not ordered):
+ *
+ *                        barrier()   smp_mb() sys_membarrier()
+ *        barrier()          X           X            O
+ *        smp_mb()           X           O            O
+ *        sys_membarrier()   O           O            O
