Subject: [PATCH v2 00/10] Rework READ_ONCE() to improve codegen

Hi folks,

This is version two of the patches I previously posted as an RFC here:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200110165636.28035-1-will@kernel.org

Changes since then include:

  * Adopted a less vomit-inducing series of macros for __unqual_scalar_typeof

  * Cast to 'const' in READ_ONCE() to prevent assignment to the resulting
    expression

  * Only warn once at build-time if GCC prior to 4.8 is detected...

  * ... and then raise the minimum GCC version to 4.8, with an error for
    older versions of the compiler

  * Remove some dead gcov code so that the resulting diffstat can distract
    from those less vomit-inducing macros I mentioned earlier on

Failing the build for older compilers is always a contentious topic, so
I've done that as a separate couple of patches on the end in case we end
up dropping or reverting them.

Cheers,

Will
