[PATCH v4 00/11] Rework READ_ONCE() to improve codegen

[Will Deacon]

Hi,

It's me again. This is version four of the READ_ONCE() codegen improvement
patches that I previously posted here:

RFC: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200110165636.28035-1-will@xxxxxxxxxx
v2:  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200123153341.19947-1-will@xxxxxxxxxx
v3:  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200415165218.20251-1-will@xxxxxxxxxx/

Changes since v3 include:

  * Drop the patch warning for GCC versions prior to 4.8
  * Move the patch raising the minimum GCC version earlier in the series
  * Reintroduce the old READ_ONCE_NOCHECK behaviour so that it can continue
    to be used by stack unwinders

As before, this will break the build for sparc32 without the changes here:

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200414214011.2699-1-will@xxxxxxxxxx

and boy are they proving to be popular (I'm interpreting the silence as
monumental joy).

Ta,

Will
