From dee081bf8f824cabeb7c7495367d5dad0a444eb1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Thu, 19 Dec 2019 14:22:31 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] READ_ONCE: Drop pointer qualifiers when reading from scalar types Passing a volatile-qualified pointer to READ_ONCE() is an absolute trainwreck for code generation: the use of 'typeof()' to define a temporary variable inside the macro means that the final evaluation in macro scope ends up forcing a read back from the stack. When stack protector is enabled (the default for arm64, at least), this causes the compiler to vomit up all sorts of junk. Unfortunately, dropping pointer qualifiers inside the macro poses quite a challenge, especially since the pointed-to type is permitted to be an aggregate, and this is relied upon by mm/ code accessing things like 'pmd_t'. Based on numerous hacks and discussions on the mailing list, this is the best I've managed to come up with. Introduce '__unqual_scalar_typeof()' which takes an expression and, if the expression is an optionally qualified 8, 16, 32 or 64-bit scalar type, evaluates to the unqualified type. Other input types, including aggregates, remain unchanged. Hopefully READ_ONCE() on volatile aggregate pointers isn't something we do on a fast-path.
