From 42e114ddefe2fbf56e7da3daccf2cfbe128242a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nikos Nikoleris Date: Tue, 4 Apr 2017 19:19:02 +0100 Subject: ruby, arm: Forward invalidations to the local exclusive monitor ARM systems require local exclusive monitors for the implementation of synchronization primitives between processors. A ruby memory system needs to forward invalidations to the local exclusive monitors to to correctly determine their state.
