Subject: [PATCH v2 00/10] Rework READ_ONCE() to improve codegen
Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2020 15:33:31 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200123153341.19947-1-will@kernel.org> (raw)
Hi folks,
This is version two of the patches I previously posted as an RFC here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200110165636.28035-1-will@kernel.org
Changes since then include:
* Adopted a less vomit-inducing series of macros for __unqual_scalar_typeof
* Cast to 'const' in READ_ONCE() to prevent assignment to the resulting
expression
* Only warn once at build-time if GCC prior to 4.8 is detected...
* ... and then raise the minimum GCC version to 4.8, with an error for
older versions of the compiler
* Remove some dead gcov code so that the resulting diffstat can distract
from those less vomit-inducing macros I mentioned earlier on
Failing the build for older compilers is always a contentious topic, so
I've done that as a separate couple of patches on the end in case we end
up dropping or reverting them.
Cheers,
Will
