Linus Torvalds 4152d146ee Merge branch 'rwonce/rework' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/will/linux
Pull READ/WRITE_ONCE rework from Will Deacon:
 "This the READ_ONCE rework I've been working on for a while, which
  bumps the minimum GCC version and improves code-gen on arm64 when
  stack protector is enabled"

[ Side note: I'm _really_ tempted to raise the minimum gcc version to
  4.9, so that we can just say that we require _Generic() support.

  That would allow us to more cleanly handle a lot of the cases where we
  depend on very complex macros with 'sizeof' or __builtin_choose_expr()
  with __builtin_types_compatible_p() etc.

  This branch has a workaround for sparse not handling _Generic(),
  either, but that was already fixed in the sparse development branch,
  so it's really just gcc-4.9 that we'd require.   - Linus ]

* 'rwonce/rework' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/will/linux:
  compiler_types.h: Use unoptimized __unqual_scalar_typeof for sparse
  compiler_types.h: Optimize __unqual_scalar_typeof compilation time
  compiler.h: Enforce that READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() access size is sizeof(long)
  compiler-types.h: Include naked type in __pick_integer_type() match
  READ_ONCE: Fix comment describing 2x32-bit atomicity
  gcov: Remove old GCC 3.4 support
  arm64: barrier: Use '__unqual_scalar_typeof' for acquire/release macros
  locking/barriers: Use '__unqual_scalar_typeof' for load-acquire macros
  READ_ONCE: Drop pointer qualifiers when reading from scalar types
  READ_ONCE: Enforce atomicity for {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() memory accesses
  READ_ONCE: Simplify implementations of {READ,WRITE}_ONCE()
  arm64: csum: Disable KASAN for do_csum()
  fault_inject: Don't rely on "return value" from WRITE_ONCE()
  net: tls: Avoid assigning 'const' pointer to non-const pointer
  netfilter: Avoid assigning 'const' pointer to non-const pointer
  compiler/gcc: Raise minimum GCC version for kernel builds to 4.8
