+ ARMv6 architecture deprecates use of the SWP/SWPB instructions.
+ ARMv7 multiprocessing extensions introduce the ability to disable
+ these instructions, triggering an undefined instruction exception
+ when executed. Say Y here to enable software emulation of these
+ instructions for userspace (not kernel) using LDREX/STREX.
+ Also creates /proc/cpu/swp_emulation for statistics.
+
+ In some older versions of glibc [<=2.8] SWP is used during futex
+ trylock() operations with the assumption that the code will not
+ be preempted. This invalid assumption may be more likely to fail
+ with SWP emulation enabled, leading to deadlock of the user
+ application.
+
+ NOTE: when accessing uncached shared regions, LDREX/STREX rely
+ on an external transaction monitoring block called a global
+ monitor to maintain update atomicity. If your system does not
+ implement a global monitor, this option can cause programs that
+ perform SWP operations to uncached memory to deadlock.
+
+ If unsure, say Y.
