[ Upstream commit aa5cacdc29d76a005cbbee018a47faa6e724dd2d ] The CRn accessor functions use __force_order as a dummy operand to prevent the compiler from reordering CRn reads/writes with respect to each other. The fact that the asm is volatile should be enough to prevent this: volatile asm statements should be executed in program order. However GCC 4.9.x and 5.x have a bug that might result in reordering. This was fixed in 8.1, 7.3 and 6.5. Versions prior to these, including 5.x and 4.9.x, may reorder volatile asm statements with respect to each other. There are some issues with __force_order as implemented: - It is used only as an input operand for the write functions, and hence doesn't do anything additional to prevent reordering writes. - It allows memory accesses to be cached/reordered across write functions, but CRn writes affect the semantics of memory accesses, so this could be dangerous. - __force_order is not actually defined in the kernel proper, but the LLVM toolchain can in some cases require a definition: LLVM (as well as GCC 4.9) requires it for PIE code, which is why the compressed kernel has a definition, but also the clang integrated assembler may consider the address of __force_order to be significant, resulting in a reference that requires a definition. Fix this by: - Using a memory clobber for the write functions to additionally prevent caching/reordering memory accesses across CRn writes. - Using a dummy input operand with an arbitrary constant address for the read functions, instead of a global variable. This will prevent reads from being reordered across writes, while allowing memory loads to be cached/reordered across CRn reads, which should be safe.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
