Andres Freund 11687e728d Fix spinlock implementation for some !solaris sparc platforms.
Some Sparc CPUs can be run in various coherence models, ranging from
RMO (relaxed) over PSO (partial) to TSO (total). Solaris has always
run CPUs in TSO mode while in userland, but linux didn't use to and
the various *BSDs still don't. Unfortunately the sparc TAS/S_UNLOCK
were only correct under TSO. Fix that by adding the necessary memory
barrier instructions. On sparcv8+, which should be all relevant CPUs,
these are treated as NOPs if the current consistency model doesn't
require the barriers.

Discussion: 20140630222854.GW26930@awork2.anarazel.de

Will be backpatched to all released branches once a few buildfarm
cycles haven't shown up problems. As I've no access to sparc, this is
blindly written.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
