 Module Name:	src
 Committed By:	chs

 Modified Files:
 	src/sys/arch/sparc/include: lock.h
 
 Log Message:
 add the early-clobber modifier on the destination reg of ldstub.
 in some implementations (eg. sun4c), the hardware modifies the destination
 reg before checking for write permission on the memory location.  without
 this change, gcc was using the same register for the address and the
 destination, so if the store part of the instruction faulted, the address
 was already gone when the instruction was retried after resolving the fault.
 part of PR 25633, PR 25896.
