/**

 * @MEMBARRIER_CMD_QUERY:   Query the set of supported commands. It returns
 *                          a bitmask of valid commands.
 * @MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED:  Execute a memory barrier on all running threads.
 *                          Upon return from system call, the caller thread
 *                          is ensured that all running threads have passed
 *                          through a state where all memory accesses to
 *                          user-space addresses match program order between
 *                          entry to and return from the system call
 *                          (non-running threads are de facto in such a
 *                          state). This covers threads from all processes
 *                          running on the system. This command returns 0.
 *
 * Command to be passed to the membarrier system call. The commands need to
 * be a single bit each, except for MEMBARRIER_CMD_QUERY which is assigned to
 * the value 0.
