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-w...@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.
