Linaro CI reported regressions for this on arm-linux-gnueabihf:

  | FAIL: gcc.dg/simulate-thread/atomic-load-longlong.c -O2 -g  thread 
simulation test
  | FAIL: gcc.dg/simulate-thread/atomic-load-longlong.c -O3 -g  thread 
simulation test

Examining the logs shows they are "Testcase exceeded maximum instruction 
count threshold", and that there is already such a failure the Linaro CI 
is considering expected for the -O0 test and for several other 
simulate-thread tests.

Thus, I propose that we do not consider the failures reported by Linaro CI 
as something to block this testsuite patch (which still needs review, as 
does my -std=gnu17 patch for gcc.dg/pr114115.c) but rather as a reasonable 
consequence of adding a noinline attribute to a test that already seems 
marginal on this target system for whether it can complete within the 
resource limits.
