Subject[PATCH v4 0/4] Upgrade READ_ONCE() to RCpc acquire on arm64 with LTO
Date
Hi all,

These patches were previously posted as part of a larger series enabling
architectures to override __READ_ONCE():

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200710165203.31284-1-will@kernel.org/

With the bulk of that merged, the four patches here override READ_ONCE()
so that it gains RCpc acquire semantics on arm64 when LTO is enabled. We
can revisit this as and when the compiler provides a means for us to reason
about the result of dependency-breaking optimisations. In the meantime,
this unblocks LTO for arm64, which I would really like to see merged so
that we can focus on enabling CFI.

I plan to queue these on their own branch in the arm64 tree for 5.11 at
-rc3.

Cheers,

Will
