tools/memory-model: Restrict to-r to read-read address dependency
During a code-reading exercise of linux-kernel.cat CAT file, I generated a graph to show the to-r relations. While likely not problematic for the model, I found it confusing that a read-write address dependency would show as a to-r edge on the graph. This patch therefore restricts the to-r links derived from addr to only read-read address dependencies, so that read-write address dependencies don't show as to-r in the graphs. This should also prevent future users of to-r from deriving incorrect relations. Note that a read-write address dep, obviously, still ends up in the ppo relation via the to-w relation. I verified that a read-read address dependency still shows up as a to-r link in the graph, as it did before. For reference, the problematic graph was generated with the following command: herd7 -conf linux-kernel.cfg \ -doshow dep -doshow to-r -doshow to-w ./foo.litmus -show all -o OUT/ Signed-off-by:Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org> Acked-by:
