Subject: [PATCH v2 01/10] compiler/gcc: Emit build-time warning for GCC prior to version 4.8
Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2020 15:33:32 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200123153341.19947-2-will@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200123153341.19947-1-will@kernel.org>
Prior to version 4.8, GCC may miscompile READ_ONCE() by erroneously
discarding the 'volatile' qualifier:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145
We've been working around this using some nasty hacks which make
READ_ONCE() both horribly complicated and also prevent us from enforcing
that it is only used on scalar types. Since GCC 4.8 is pretty old for
kernel builds now, emit a warning if we detect it during the build.
