arm: arch_timer: add isbs to register accessors
Without the isbs in arch_timer_get_cnt{p,v}ct the cpu may speculate reads and return stale values. This could be bad for code sensitive to changes in expected deltas between calls (e.g. the delay loop). Without isbs in arch_timer_reg_write the processor may reorder instructions around enabling/disabling of the timer or writing the compare value, which we probably don't want. This patch adds isbs to prevent those issues. Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Acked-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
