[Valgrind-developers] Atomic ppc instructions versus Imbe_BusLock / Imbe_BusUnlock

[Bart V. A. <bar...@gm...>]

Hello Julian,

If I remember correctly you added some time ago Imbe_BusLock /
Imbe_BusUnlock to VEX. Were these intended to be instruction-set
independent, or only to handle x86 bus locking ? In the last case, how
should tools like Helgrind or exp-drd handle atomic ppc instructions ?
