    Merge branch 'rwonce/rework' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/will/linux · 4152d146

    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 ]
